Ashton stayed for dinner. I think he's starting to make a good impression on them because Joey was laughing at almost everything he had said. Shane had even started to lighten up and ask questions and make merry.
"So Ashton do you do well in school." Joey asks.
Ashton looks surprised then looks down. Rubbing the back of his neck. "Um...school isn't really my thing.. I'm not that..uh smart."
Joey nods as if understanding. But the room is still in awkward silence. Finally Shane speaks up.
"OK let's change the subject how are your parents will we get to meet them."
Ashton looks as though this topic is even more uncomfortable to talk about and once again his eyes travel towards his lap.
"Oh well my mom you see me...uh she died when I was 4 and my dad...we don't get along much." He says. He starts getting up from the table.
"I should be getting home my dad will start to worry." He smiles and starts heading to the door. "The food was great." He says and leaves.
I see him light a cigarette as he leaves are driveway.
