Jack walked me home afterwards.
I told him not to but he didn't listen and he held the umbrella over my head the entire time. I wasn't going to be fooled by his act, I was already burned the last time and I wouldn't let it happen again.
When we got to my door, I was about to bolt in but he grabbed my arm.
"Wait... jeez...."
I reluctantly turned around, "What is it?"
"Tomorrow after school do you want to go out."
I gave him a curt laugh, "No."
"Pretty please?" He wagged his brows. Admittedly it was adorable but I wouldn't fall into his trap.
"No."
Jack sighed, "don't make me go to dramatic measures."
I crossed my arms, "Which is?"
Jack winked one eye, "Secret, I'll see you tomorrow, Chocolate."
"Ugh!" I snapped, then slammed the door behind me. I was muttering to myself when I looked up mom was standing in front of me, her dark brow arched.
"Hi..." I said awkwardly.
"Hello, daughter of mine." She looked me up and down. "Forget your umbrella?"
"Yeah."
"Hurry up and dry yourself, your dripping all over the floor."
"Okay." I took off my shoes and started to hurry up the stairs.
"We're going to talk." She called just as I reached the top.
I closed my eyes, damn it.

Mom and I sat in my room.
I was all dried up, sitting crossed leg on my bed, and she beside me.
"So..." she motioned.
"So... what?" I looked away.
"Who was that?" She asked, smiling just the tiniest.
I rolled my eyes, "No one, mom."
"Is that who you got all dressed up for?"
I looked at her in horror and embarrassment. "What? No, God, mom! He's no one."
"He's very handsome." She chuckled.
I groaned louder, "He's just some kid that 'likes' me." I quoted.
"Why the quotes?"
"Because he's really in love with Alison and is trying to use me to forget her."
Mom paused, her brow arching. "Huh?"
"Long story."
"Okay? I have time."
"Mom, really? You really want to do this?"
"Yes, sweetie you used to tell me everything."
"I didn't have much to tell."
