After I got back home, I took a bath and changed my clothes. Then I sat on the sofa as I watched TV. My ankle was better after my mom massaged it when I came home. She wasn't angry at Jayden at all, she was angry at me instead. She said I never exercise. That's why I got sprained, so she ordered me to exercise with Jayden frequently. What's wrong with my mom?
"Hey!" My mom came suddenly.
I winced as I gave a wondering stare. In this house, there was just my mother and me, no one else, but she just whispered, Hufft her conduct astonished me.
"What?" I asked without making a sound.
She tweaked my forehead spontaneously, so I goggled as I moaned in pain.
"Mom, what are you doing!" I screeched as I tried to disengage her hand from my ear.
"Why do you never tell me that YOU DATE WITH OUR NEIGHBOR? HUH? At least, tell me that I have HANDSOME FUTURE SON-IN-LAW!"
I closed my eyes when she screamed. "Ok ok mom, I will explain but please take your hand off from my ear."
Thankfully, my mom did what I just said. I let out a long sigh.
"What's there to explain about? Huh?" She put her hands on her hips as she gave me a pointed look.
"We're just friends."
"Is that an explanation? Stop lying! You're not good at lying!"
"I told the truth, mom. I don't lie."
My mom put her index finger ahead of my mouth as she hissed. As if she ordered me to shut up.
"You're honest very often, so now you're trying to be a liar, aren't you? I know it."
What a weird reason! Well, I surrendered, I would follow my mom's scenario.
"Ok ok. I acknowledged."
She immediately screamed, so I closed my ears with my hands.
"Mom you ruin my ears!"
"God thank you so much, finally I will have a handsome son-in-law."
"I'm still in twelfth grade, mom."
"Who cares?"
My mouth opened when I saw my mom leaving me with a satisfied smile.
"Oh, God."

I stared at the wedding invitation as I glared, switching to the boy in front of me.
"You invite me to your sister's wedding party?"
Jayden nodded as he smiled. "I'll pick you up tonight at 7 pm."
There was nothing I could think of. Honestly, I felt special because he invited me to his sister's wedding party, but on the other hand, I felt it was worth it.
What would Jayden's family say if they saw me? Can you imagine if his family wondered like 'Jay, who's this ugly girl?'
Ugh!
"Why should I?" I stared at him as I winced.
"My mom invites you."
"Pardon?!" My eyes opened wide.
"Yeah, I often tell my mom about you. Last night she ordered me to invite you, she wants to meet you, she wonders because you're our neighbor but she never sees you at all."
I flickered, ensuring that 'twas just my dream.
"Are you joking?"
"I'm serious, Lily Daxton." Jayden pinched my right cheek to make me realize.
"Why did you do it?"
"Do what?" He asked back.
I immediately shook my head. "No no, nothing." I just walked away as I stared blankly. But Jayden pulled me hard so my body automatically turned back, and our distance was almost nothing 'cause Jayden put his arms around my waist. I could only hold my breath as I stared at him without blinking.
"Please," Jayden whispered.
We were in the corridor, and I was sure people were watching us. Damn, I was embarrassed.
"Wear a good dress, so tonight we can dance perfectly. I'll wait for you, so don't let me down."
"But Jay, whether I wear a dress, sweater, shirt, or anything else. It can't change the fact that I'm ugly. I can't, I don't deserve it." I kept my head down.
"You're wrong, Lily. You're beautiful no matter what you wear. But at this time, I'm begging you to do what I just said."
"Other girls are prettier than me, why do you choose me?"
"Absolutely! Other girls are prettier, but you! You're more than just pretty. You're perfect in my eyes."
My cheeks warmed. I couldn't say anything but I kept trying. "People are watching us, I'm telling you," I informed him.
"I know but I don't care."
"I'm leaving, see you tonight."
I disengaged myself from his hug, leaving him with my quick-beat heart. I arranged my breath as I walked with a blank gaze.
I patted my cheeks. "Wake up, Lily, wake up!"
