Rio's POV

"So...? What'd you say?" Rio's mom asked her. Rio sighed. She knew she shouldn't have told her mom. But seeing the excitement on her face made Rio feel good inside.

"I said I'd think about it," said Rio, tapping her fingers on the bathroom counter. Every Friday night her parents left Rio at home with Taj for a date night. Weekends were the only time her father was home from work. Rio didn't exactly know what he did for a living, but she knew he tried to keep his date nights and weekends at home constant.

"Now, Rio, why'd you do that?" Silvanna asked, pausing her application of makeup to look at her daughter. "He's a nice boy. Violet said he been trying to talk to you."

"What? How would she know?" a shocked Rio asked.

Silvanna waved her hand. "Oh, you know Mrs. de la Vega. She has ears all over the place."

"Yeah. Named Andre," muttered Rio.

"What'd you say, hun?" Silvanna asked, brushing her mascara over her eyelashes.

"Nothing," replied Rio.

"Oh," mused Silvanna. "Before you make any rash decisions about Oz, I want you to really think about it. I mean, truly think about it. I think this is the first time you've been asked on a date since—"

"Okay. I'll think about it, Mom," Rio interrupted, stepping out of the bathroom. Over her shoulder, she said, "Have fun on your date."

"I love you, Rio!" called Silvanna.

"Yeah. I love you too."
