"Have fun, darling. Glad you're enjoying school now."

Ethan's POV
I look out of the window to see Zoe walking up the driveway. Wow. She's fast. I rush downstairs just in time as the doorbell rings. I open up the door and invite her inside.
"My mum will be down soon. Just give her a minute."
"Sure."
Mum shows up with her keys and we head out to the garage.
"What do people do at these parties?" Zoe asks me.
"Just loud music, talking, food. Nothing illegal." I laugh.
We get there in a few minutes. Max stands out the front and waves at us. I can hear the music from the front yard. Guess I have to prepare to have my ears blasted off.
Inside, a handful of people are dancing. Many are hanging around the food tables, some are sitting on the ground against the walls. I recognise all the people from our year level at school.
We hang around, eat and talk with our friends. But I can tell she's not having fun.
"I don't think I find it comforting here where Claudia is giving me the death glare 24/7." Zoe tells me.
"Let's get out of here." I suggest.
"Sounds like a plan."
We walk back to my place and I show her around the house and take her to the backyard.
We sit underneath the tree, leaning against each other.
I hear her whisper to me, "I love you too."
She heard me at school.
I suddenly feel whole inside.
She loves me.
