AVANTHONY A True Love Story

Chapter 33

AVANI POV:
It was Monday around noon when my mom came in my room with a plate of food and asked, "Can we talk?" My stomach was grumbling and cared more about the food then talking to her so I said, "No." very blatantly.
"I want to talk about some things I said yesterday."
"I'm doing my school work." I reminded her.
"Well I just want you to know I'm sorry and didn't mean anything I said I was just talking out of anger." She told me unconvincingly.
"Am i ungrounded?"
"No, but-"
"Can you close the door and the light on your way out?" I saw no point in a conversation if she wasn't going to unground me. She sighed, set the plate of food on my couch, and left my room. I waited a few seconds to make sure she wasn't lurking then put my computer aside and jumped at the couch.

It was Indian fried rice and just the smell of it made my mouth water and the steam was soothing for my face. I ate it without considering how hot it was which was stupid because I ended up burning my mouth. I tried cooling the food down that was already in my mouth by blowing out aggressively.

"You're hungry." My dad chuckled, "Do you want more?"
"I'm good for now." I said.
"We haven't really talked that much these past few days so I just wanted to say that I'm not mad or disappointed with you. Your young your going to do reckless things. Do I want you to do them no. Are you going to probably, so why be mad at each other for the inevitable." He told me.
"Why aren't you telling mom these things and if you think that then why am I grounded?"
"You think I want you to be grounded? Believe me if I actually wanted you grounded I wouldn't have let Anthony drop you off after Madis house or hang out with you, and I would've made sure you didn't sneak out. But I just kinda do what your mom says."
"Dad you can't be such a push over." I told him.
"I'm not a pushover I don't want your mom mad at me." He smiled, "So do you school work and tell me if you need anything. I love you." He said patting my back and giving me a kiss on the forehead before leaving.

Even though he wasn't going to do much I was glad to know he was on my side. He eased my mind a little bit because I knew he was going to try and make my mom loosen up on the punishments. Wether or not he succeeded was a problem for a different time.

I worked for another thirty minutes double checking everything was correct before turning it in. I thought of things to do and ways to be productive but all those thoughts went to waste when I began playing Minecraft with Lydia. I sent her an email which I was surprised she answered, and told her to play with me. At first she said no thinking it was a hacker, I had to explain to her that I was using my email because I couldn't text. It felt so stupid having to tell her that, I felt like a thirteen year old grounded from there phone, the whole situation was absurd to me.

We communicated through the game chat and played for about two hours until she had to get ready for a date with her boyfriend. I begged her to not leave, knowing she would be the last person I'd "talk" to for the rest of the day and possibly the next, but she left anyways. I couldn't blame her I would rather go on a date with Anthony then play Minecraft.

More then half of the day had passed by and I hadn't taken a shower, so I decided to not interrupt the streak of no showering and stayed in bed. The next day I spent all day in bed doing homework and the only person I talked to was Priya for a good five minutes. The main difference between Monday and Tuesday is that on Tuesday I took a shower. I had motivation both days but I choose to do the bare minimum.

I woke up early on Wednesday excited to get my phone back, so I could call Anthony. I got up early and skipped to my moms room.
"Good morning." I sang, "Where's my phone?"
"Top drawer." She yawned pointing at her night stand, "Howed you sleep?" She asked.
"Good enough." I answered quickly getting out of her room.

First thing I did was text Anthony good morning. I knew he was still sleeping and wasn't going to wake up for a while so I didn't worry about him texting me back quickly.
