„So, where are we going first?“ With a wide grin, Casey closed the door of the GTO. „The second-hand bookshop, the photostudio, or the thrift store?“
„Maybe later. First, we need to buy some party supplies.“
Casey blinked, confused. „You are going to have a party?“
„Not exactly a party.“ Zeke shrugged. „But I think it can't hurt to buy some colorful balloons and a welcome banner. That's what friends do when someone is having a baby, right?“
„Oh!“ For a moment, Casey didn't know what to say. „Delilah?
„Well, I guess she can need a little cheer-up.“
„It's not easy for her,“ Casey agreed. „After this prick vanishing in thin air overnight after getting to know about her pregnancy. But to be honest, I am surprised that you care so much about her lately. It is not that you and Del were ever pretty close.“
„She's quite okay, after leaving her 'I am the queen of Herrington High' behaviour behind. For a while, I was sure that she would go for adoption. But she is doing great so far. Maybe, with a bit of help, she will turn into a good mother.“
Casey chuckled. „And you want to offer this help?“
„Why not? It's not that I have much to do at the moment. You will go to college soon.“
„I am moving to Akron; that's not the end of the world.“
„I know. But I will miss it anyway; hanging around with you at the bleachers, sharing a lab table. Teamwork in my garage. Not everything at school was bad.“
„No shit! What's happened with Zeke Tyler, the famous rebel from Herrington High?“
„Shut up!“ Zeke turned around to the entrance of the mall. „So, were are we going first? The shop for gift items or the baby store? Delilah is gushing non-stop about this baby sling, her midwife has told her about; maybe we can get one for her. And a teddy. Every little girl needs a teddy.“
„A girl?“
„Michelle, that's her name. Del told me this morning. And she asked me to be her godfather.“
„Oh!“ Casey jerked to a hold. „She did what? And when did you want to tell me this news?“
Zeke rolled his eyes. „When you stop asking stupid questions,“ he said. „It's nothing big!“
Inwardly chuckling, Casey followed his friend into the mall. It was hard to believe how much Zeke had changed over the last months.
