Once the school bell rings, I walk out of class and walk to the bus stop with Dustin.
'' So, how was the pep rally? ''
'' Pretty good. '' I said.
'' Yeah, you were awesome from what I heard. ''
'' Where were you, anyway? ''
'' Tutoring with Ringwald. ''
'' Oh. Why didn't you text me? ''
'' You've been pumped about all this all week! I couldn't distract you from that. ''
'' Yeah. I also have something else to look forward to. Pretty soon, actually. '' I say nervously, starting to scratch the back of my neck.
'' And what's that? ''
'' I... have a date. With Eddie. '' I said.
'' Eddie? Eddie "The Freak'' Munson? He asked you out? '' Dustin asked.
'' Yeah. We're going out at 6:00. ''
'' Fuck yeah! What did mom say? ''
'' Mom already said yeah, but I have to be home before 10:00. ''
'' Well, you guys are going out on a date. I could say it was pretty successful, huh? But, about coming home before 10:00. Eddie won't like that. ''
'' Why not? ''
'' Well, Eddie is the type of guy that stays up past midnight. So, if he's picking you up at 6:00, chances are you'll be back by 6:00 AM. But don't worry.''
I start to panic as he starts to list potential ways to get away with this. I try to interrupt him, but he won't listen.
'' You could climb through your bedroom window, But call me before you come, so that way I could put a pillow and a blanket on your bed- ''
'' DUSTIN, DUSTIN, DUSTIN! I can't be back at 6:00 AM.''
'' OK. OK. You're right. Although, when it comes to Eddie being stoned, he loses track of time. ''
'' Who says we're getting stoned? ''
'' You're going out with Eddie '' The Freak'' Munson. You're getting stoned. Why would you even think you're not getting stoned? ''
'' Whatever. I'll talk to Eddie about this. I'm sure he'll be OK with bringing me home early. ''
'' Alright, alright. Whatever. ''
The bus finally comes and we step in. I turn on my phone and play Delilah Bon's Devil through my AirPods, trying to boost my confidence before I see Eddie.
Once we get home, It's 3:50 PM. Mom is sitting at the table, watching TV, Mews on her lap.
'' Hey, how was school? ''
'' It was good. '' I said.
'' Great! Today was the pep rally right? How was that? ''
'' It was amazing. The performance I'm most proud of, truly. ''
'' Awesome! Dinner's in the fridge if you all want to warm it up before your hangout. ''
'' I don't want to ruin my appetite. Also, Mom, is there any way for me to arrive after 10:00?''
She suddenly shuts off the TV. I gesture for Dustin to go in his room as I face Mom.
'' Nope. You're coming home at 10:00 or not going at all. Understand? ''
'' Yeah. I understand. '' I said.
I go to my room and hit my pillow at least 3 times.
'' Fuck, Fuck Fuck! '' I say, whispering.
