"This is your mom?" I whisper, hoping he dosent hear me but he still does.
"Yep somehow she found me" he says smiling as the lady spots clay and sprints in his direction.
"Clay, darling how are you!" The lady exclaims taking off her gloves standing right infrount of our table. This lady looked exactly like clay. The blonde hair and emerald eyes. Her smile and laugh. I smile as i notice these similarities. I see her expression change as soon as she sees me. I freeze unintentionally. A warm smile spreads across her face and she tucks the gloves in between her arm.
"And who's this!?" She says curiously crossing her arms. I wonder if I should say my name. An awkward silence starts to imerge us. So I start to speak but clay erupts me.
"This is george,mom" clay quickly says.
His moms eyes widen in surprise but I have no idea why. I look back over to clay and he's shaking his head towards her. Her mouth opens but nothing comes out so she closes it again. When it opens again she says
"Well george isn't it nice to meet you" holding out her hand.
I slowly hold out my hand confused. She shakes it and puts her other hand on top of our hands like I'm the most important person ever. A massive smile emerges my face and little laughs escapes me. When I look back over at clay he's just shaking his head and drinking the last bit of Oreo milkshake from his cup.
This was definitely clays mother. Her admiration and opinions towards everything were just as exaggerated as clay makes them. She has now sat down with both of us telling me a story about clays childhood. She goes into every detail a mother should and I can't help but smile. She dosent stop explaining her story when the waiter comes over with her vanilla milkshake. Clay nods towards the waiter knowing his mother won't.
"So george what do you want to be when you grow up?" She asks swirling the straw inside of her cup.
Ive Never been asked this question before so I don't really have an answer. I try to think of what I could do. Maybe something with books ?? I could be an librarian like Wilbur.
"Umm I know it's strange but an librarian, I'm really into books and I think talking to people who are compassionate about books aswell is my thing" I say timidly. I know it's a weird job but I would love to do it.
That warm smiles spreads across her face again making my insides melt.
"That's not strange dear, clays really into books aswell maybe you two could work together" she says.
I look towards clay after what she said. He had a slight spark in his eye almost like he has been crying but it was just the sunset.
"Well mom I think we should get going, don't you think?" Clay suggested grabbing his coat.
"Oh yes I forgot about the time" clays mom giggled slightly. Then she drank the last bit of her vanilla milkshake and stood up.When putting her coat on she suddenly stopped and looked over to me.
"Oh george didnt you say you lived alone?" She asked
"I think I mentioned it" I replied starting to stand up aswell and putting my coat on.
"Well you definitely can't walk alone, clay can you do me a favor and walk him home. It's getting dark outside" she asked putting one of her hands on clays shoulders.
Clay looked at me and his eyes searched my face.
"Oh no really it's fine" I said
"Don't be silly, I've got to pop to the shop anyways, so clay will be bored" she laughed.
Again I looked at clay and his face had no expression just his gorgeous eyes and perfect hair. I looked away.
"Let's go then george" clay said walking to the door. I rushed towards him thanking his mom and waving bye. I quickly rapped my scarf around my neck and quickly walked towards clay. God he walks fast.
"Sorry about my mom" he suddenly says to me.
I was confused. He has a mom like that and hes apologizing.
"No it's fine" I say looking up to him smiling
He looks back at me so I look away but he continues to look at me. So I look back
"What?" I ask
"Nothing" he says

It's pitch black when we reach my house, with only the street lights slightly dimming the path. We both come to a stop. I turn to face clay to see he's already looking at me. My head lifts up to meet his contact.
"So.." I awkwardly say rocking back and forth on my feet. Clays lips curl into a smile.
"So.." clays answers back putting his hands into his coat pockets. Even though the darkness seems to suffocate the world, I can still roughly see the outline of his face. His daunting eyes and pearly, white teeth. My chest starts to clog up with emotions I can't explain.
"I'm going to head in then" I say slowly turning around since this man barely says anything. My feet carry me to the door and my hands search for my key. When I finally seem to grab them I fix them into the lock but before I open my door I hear clay say.
"Wait"
I turn around expecting that clay would be gone by now but he's not. He's actually walking towards me in a desperate manner. we You can see his cheeks have turned red same with his nose but his emotion is still the same. Blank. When he comes to a stop we are very close together. I laugh uncomfortably slightly stepping back.
"You alright?" I ask with a hint of worry in my voice from my heat which is beating rapidly. I scratch my neck as he stares into my eyes.
His head lowers down to my face and he whispers.
"Goodnight george"
Such a simple sentence.
He lifts his head back up and starts to walk away leaving me standing there confused.
I hate him.
