I came home with butterflies in my stomach. It's almost 10, and I know for a fact that my mother will be very upset with me coming home this late when I said, I would be early.

I still do not get how 10 is not appropriate for me as I am almost 16 now.

I enter my keys in the keyhole hoping that no one would be in the living room.
But there she is standing in fury.
I can sense her being angry with me from 10 feet away.

"Where were you this fine and late evening?" She asks me

"I was a-at dinner. I told you." I answer trying to be as calm as I can

"You have been eating for 3 hours?"

"Natasha, calm down," My dad jumped into the conversation. "I am sure she and her friends went out for ice cream after dinner. Right, Gia?"

"Right" I reply as quickly as he finishes his sentence

"Fine. I am sick of you two scheming things". Mom says

"What schemeing we are not scheming." Dad says

"Whatever. Gia just go up to your bedroom and sleep."

"Yup." I ran as quickly as I could to my bedroom.

I jump on my bed thinking about tonight. How mine his hand were touching and he didn't move his hand, how we talked for hours about past stories and interests, and how he remembered my interest in space.
Butterflies flying in my stomach.

"Hey Gia," Riley says while opening my bedroom door

"What's up Gia' Maya also enters

"Hey, Guys!" What are you doing here this late?

"We had a sleepover planned remember?" Riley says

"Right sorry I forgot" I reply

Shit the sleepover. We had planned it last week and it just slipped out of my mind. I an probably be too distracted thinking about Farkle all night.

"What are you thinking bout Shaw?" Maya says snarkily

"Nothing Hart. " I reply

"No it seems like something important," Riley says

"What? No, I was just zoned out, that's all."

"I bet 5 dollars you were thinking about a guy." Says Maya

"Oh, interesting, was it Zay? Or was it Lucas? Please don't say it's Lucas. Common Gia tell us we want to" Riley rambles as Maya cuts her off

"Was it Farkle?" Maya asks in a taunting tone

"What! No!" I try to resist blushing

"Oh, it was Farkle. Look at you, you're blushing. Do you like him?"

"What! No, Riley, I was not blushing." I try to avoid the question

"You didn't answer my question.  Do you like him?" Riley asks

"Maybe. I don't know." I reply lying

Maya looks at me knowing that I know very well about my feelings right now

"Fine, I do like him. But you can not tell this to anyone.  No one, not Lucas, not Zay, not Mr. Matthews, not Topanga, and especially not Farkle. This stays between us" I say

"Yes of course," Maya says

"So you like Farkle huh?"

"Yeah"

"He still has a weird name though."

"I could not agree more."

"Now can we change the topic?" I whine

"Fine but we have to do something about  this crush of yours," Riley says

"You know, I saw Farkle staring at you a lot. That's the reason I started to tease you both." Maya says

" Really?"

" Yeah. Did something happen between you two?" Riley asks

I told them about today and how they showed me the shower.

"Oh, he is definitely into you," Maya says

"We are doing something about this. I don't care about what you say." Riley giggles

"Fine just don't make it too obvious," I say

We giggle till about 4 am ( since it is a Sunday tomorrow) and go to sleep.
