After the lunch/dinner Joe drove me home in my car. I noticed he parked his car in Q's driveway, he walked so far to get me! I walked inside my house, it was 6 and I had homework to do! Ugh! School like to make kids feel like failures doesn't it!? My mom was making dinner.

"Hey how was school?" she asked

"Eh you know the usual."

"Aw well foods almost done."

"K let me finish homework first."

I ran upstairs and threw my backpack on the bed. Ew science, geometry, draw a sketch for a art, and write a short essay about the wheel for social studies?? What the fuck! I quickly dude Acience and Geometry, it was so easy. I took out my sketch book, hmm what to draw. Aha! I decided to draw Q's eyes, I loved them, they were perfect and always warmed me up. I could drown in his deep brown eyes. Done! The sketch was finished. I opened my laptop and went on Word. Okay how do I start this? About 40 minutes later I was done.

"Zoey! Foods ready!" My mom yelled

"Coming."

I looked at the clock 7:10. Wow I beat my world record of shortest time doing homework! Yay! I ran downstairs.

"So where did you go after school today?"

"Oh uhm I went to lunch with Joe, Sal, and Murr."

"You are so lucky you know that? Any girl would die to be you right now."

"Yea." I laughed quietly

"I remember when you were this huge fan, wanting to meet them and now look at you! You're basically best friends with the guys and not to even mention you have a thing with Q."

"Yeah I know! It's so great! Oh by the way we're kinda maybe dating."

"Oh my god! Congrats!!"

"Thanks." I started to eat my mashed potatoes and string beans. Of course no meat.

"You honestly are really lucky. I hope you two get married so he can be part of the family and I can be all over him!"

"Oh my god mom."

"Or or or! I can date Joe!"

"What about dad!?"

"He's nothing compared to Joe."

"Mom no." I laughed almost spitting the food out.

"Anyway, this weekend we want to take a family trip to your grandmas." my mom said.

"Which grandma?"

"My mom, you know the one that's not dead."

"Oh yea yea I forget sometimes."

"Yeah so you're father's coming too and we are staying there till Sunday. We haven't visited her in awhile."

"Oh fun!" I lied

"It's gonna be fun! Just eat your food."

"Can't I'm done." I put the plate in the sink, kissed my mom and went upstairs. My phone buzzed. It was Sal.

"So about Brian's party..." said the text.

"Yea?"

"Sorry I needed an excuse to talk to you..."

"Oh why?"

"Because you're just so nice and fun to talk to and I don't want Q to think I like you. Which I don't! In that way.."

"Haha okay, I mean we're friends so we can talk."

"Good, anyway how's it going?"

"Alright I guess, I have to go to my g'mas this weekend with my parents and I don't wanna go. You?"

"Maybe I can steal you away so you don't have to go aha. Nothing just usual Tloin joker stuff."

"Haha that would be nice. Oh cool."

"Ah crap... I should go. I'm with Brian and he would kill me if he saw these texts."

"Why? Is he jealous ;)"

"A lot jealous but don't tell him I told you."

"My lips are sealed. Bye :)"

"Thanks, bye!"

I put my phone on my table. Was this real life? I thought to myself. I mean... Like how can this be happening!? I constantly wonder that.
