Chapter 4

"What did he want to talk to you about?" Chloe asked as we walked towards my car. School was finally over for the day. I didn't think I'd be able to take another minute here.

"He was apologizing for getting too personal," I answered her, unlocking the car doors.

"Really?"

"Mhmm," I hummed, throwing my backpack in the back seat of my car. Chloe copied me, then strapped her seatbelt on. I started my car and drove out of the parking lot.

"I'm thinking about going to the gym, you in?" Chloe asked, running her fingers through her long, blonde hair.

"The gym?" I asked, stepping on the gas when the red light changed to green.

"Yeah."

I thought for a moment. I really could use some time at the gym with Chloe, to blow some steam off. "Sure, I think I would like that."

"Great!" she said. "Can I borrow some workout clothes so I don't have to go to my house?"

I nodded. "Of course."

"Cool, thanks," she replied.

We pulled up into my driveway and got our backpacks out of the backseat. I opened my door and climbed out of my car, then locked it. With Chloe trailing close behind me, we both walked up to the front porch of my house. I reached for the door handle as we approached the double doors, but jumped back when it swung open.

"Bye mom- Ah!"

Josh was coming out of the door fast, but ran into me in the process. I stumbled backwards, but didn't fall. "Hey, watch it Josh!"

"Sorry Avery!" he shouted, scooting past me. He ran down the wooden steps and through the yard, then vanished down the street. I looked at Chloe with a confused face, but she shrugged.

Shaking my head, I walked through the front door and into my house. "Mom, I'm home! Chloe's with me!"

"In the kitchen!" I heard my mother's voice call from down the hall. I gestured to Chloe and she followed me to the kitchen. When we entered through the archway, I heard Chloe snicker quietly. I, however, wasn't surprised.

Standing in the middle of the kitchen was my mother, covered in flour and batter, mixing something in a silver bowl with a whisk. Her dirty blonde hair was in a loose bun and the look in her bright eyes showed determination.

"Baking again?" I asked, walking up to her and planting a kiss on her cheek.

"For the bake sale at the church," she panted. I watched as she stopped stirring and dipped her finger into the batter, and finally into her mouth. A second later, she continued to stir.

"Well Chloe and I are going to the gym," I said, returning to the archway once more.

"Okay, have fun!" she said, waving me off.

I walked out of the kitchen and immediately went up the stairs. Chloe and I walked into my room and set our stuff down onto the bed. Walking over to my dresser, I opened up one of the drawers and asked, "Chloe, sweatpants or shorts?"

"Shorts," she answered, tying up her long hair into a high ponytail. I pulled out a pair of black workout shorts and tossed them to her. "And a tank top."

"'Kay," I said, digging though the drawer. I found a green tank top and tossed it to her. She caught it, then set it on the bed. Getting some white shorts and a dark blue sports bra for myself, I closed the drawer and began to undress. I turned around to see Chloe pulling off her blouse, revealing a black laced bra with white ribbons. They made her boobs look... huge... I felt a spark of jealousy, but shook it off, telling myself boobs were not everything.
