"Are you sure you can eat a whole pizza to yourself?, Claire asked me as we took our seats in a booth at the pizza parlor. "This wouldn't be a first." I answered.
We both laughed and honestly it felt great. I haven't felt this happy in a while, but I don't think this will last. Nothing ever does.
I can feel the smile on my face fade and I have a feeling Claire knows that something is going through ny head. Before she can ask me what's wrong our pizzas get to our table.
I don't finish the whole pizza by myself, but I had some help from Claire. Strange cause usually girls don't feel comfortable with eating so much infront of a guy. Which is pretty ridiculous to me in my opinion.
"I thought you said you could finish a whole pizza to yourself?", she said jokingly. "I can. I just filled up on coke while we were waiting. Next time I'll prove it."
"Oh so there's gonna be a next time?"
My heart skipped a beat. Shit. What do I say now? Why don't I ever think before I speak! I'm so dumb. Ugh. I could feel my my cheeks heating up. "Um yeah. I mean if you want. You know just to hang out or somethING.", my voice cracked at the end of my sentence. Fuck! I just wished for someone to shoot me cause that was so embarrassing but Claire couldn't stop giggling and I didn't want to miss that.
As we walked back to her car I heard someone scream, "CLIFFORD!"Claire and I both turned around. It was my friend Jacob. Weird cause I thought that fucker never left his xbox home alone.
"Hey man. What's up?", he was starring at Claire with 'heart eyes'. "Um earth to Jacob?", he blinked a few times and came back to reality. Suddenly he cleared his throat and stuck his hand out to Claire, "Names Jacob. And what might your name be pretty little lady?" He said, trying to be all smooth. Though Claire thought it was only hilarious.
"This is Claire." He smirked at me, "Oh I see.", he said turning to Claire. "So you and my boy Mikey huh." And did this weird eyebrow wiggle. In that moment I just wanted to punch him in the face. Ugh. He can be so embarrassing sometimes.
"You're super funny, just like Mikey. Oh and me and him are just friends.", she told Jacob. Ouch. That kinda hurt but I mean her and Luke literally just broke up. Besides maybe staying friends would be for the best. Wouldn't want to get too attached you know?
After Jacob tried hitting on Claire we decided it was time to go home. The drive from the pizza parlor to my house was short. I wish we could have taken the long way because we were having so much fub, well I know I was. Singing to MCR and oh another surprise Calire liked Twenty One Pilots. She's making this way harder for me to not like her as more than a friend.
When we were pulling up to my house I noticed an old black mustang parked in my drive thru. I waved my last goodbye and hurried inside.
"Mom!", I yelled as I ran upstairs to throw my backpack onto my bed.
"In the kitchen Michael!," I heard her call from downtairs. I made my way to the kitchen quickly, ready to ask about who was parked at our house. "Mom who's ca-"
"Michael can you fill up my cup with some water please?" She said cutting me off and handing me her cup. When I turned to fill the cup I noticed keys in the cup..
"Um mom? You left keys in here.." she was smiling way too hard now. "Oh did I? I have my keys right here. You must have left your keys in my cup."
"Mom...you didn't.." she only nodded. I ran to her and hugged her so tight and even picked her up. "THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!" We both went outside and I got into my car. The car purred as I started the ignition. Yes! No more rides from my mom or walking to school! "This is so sick! Thank you so much. I love you."

It was finally friday and honestly it felt so good that the weekend was finally here. Now that I had a car I was feeling a bit bad ass. So I threw on my leather jacket, black skinny jeans, white tee and my raybans.
Blasting my stereo all the way to school, I kept getting looks from people on the street or those in cars next to at red lights. I didn't care though. It's not like I'm ever gonna see them again. But when I drove into the student parking lot heads turned, girls were whispering in each others ears. It was kinda overwhelming. I tried my best to ignore everyone but then I saw Luke mugging me. Still don't get why he hates me.
"Yo! Michael sweet ride. Is that baby yours?" Calum said as he walked up to me. "Yeah just got it."
"Hey freak! Nice ride. You fuck your boyfriend in that thing?", I heard Luke call out. Everyone started laughing after and saying "burn".. Ha. Okay. Thats it.
"No but your mom was in there with me last night. Tell her I'll pick her up again tonight. Thanks."
