My moms shiny metallic blue Honda civics drove right up and we hopped in. I sat in the front while Ethan sat in the back. She said him
"Thank you so much for offering to help my daughter with science. You know all her other grades are A+s but her science grade was a C-. Can you believe that like how did she get so stupid?"
"MOM I'm right here."
"Uhhhh...." Ethan looked really uncomfortable sitting in the back.
The rest of the car ride was really awkward and silent after except for the occasional praise to Ethan from my mom.
"Where to?"my mom asked.
"31 baker street"
"Isn't that a bakery?"
I sighed I hated when my mom was so nosy.
"Yea my brothers girlfriend's dad owns the bakery and I help out as much as I can."
"That's really nice of you." I mumbled.
I asked him if he knew why Jonathan was acting strange.
"Well maybe it's because he doesn't get to spend a lot of time hanging with you anymore."
"Oh I never thought about it that way."
"He misses you, you should hang with him one day and miss our tutoring session. I think he's be so happy if you asked him to hang."
"Is it ok if I ask for tomorrow?"
"Of course." He said with a smile on his face.
We got to the bakery and dropped him off. He almost forgot his backpack in the car so I took the backpack into the bakery and handed him his backpack.
"Thank you, I don't know what I'd do if I forgot this."
"Why it's just a backpack...?"
He pulled out an inhaler and said "I need this and it's always in my backpack so yeah.."
"Ok see ya tomorrow?"
"Yeah see you tomorrow."
I waved and said "Byeeeeeeeeee!"
He smiled back and for some reason I felt a weird tingly in my stomach that I've never felt before.
When I got out of the bakery I was practically skipping out of happiness. I jumped in the front seat of the car and realized that the seat was now cold.
"How long was I there...?" I asked on a very suspicious voice.
"Uhhhh maybe about half an hour."
"HALF AN HOUR! It felt like 5 minutes."
"Well time flies when your having fun." She said is a very questionable tone.
We drove back home and while we were in the car I found his social media accounts and followed every single one but under a different name. Sloan.
I thought it was a very creative name. But mom was like "you seriously followed every single account on ONE NAME THAT FRICKEN CREEPY."
I shrugged it off and thought we'll he'll never think that way... right? I started daydreaming about him and for some reason I don't know why but it just felt right. Then I felt horrible for thinking that. I was so lost in my thoughts I didn't even realize that we got home.
"You seem distracted what's on your mind?"she asked.
"Nothing it's fine in fine let's go in." I said as I was walking towards the big white house at the end of the driveway.
