My dad walked around the car and opened my door for me. I smiled as I stepped out and closed the door behind me. Together, my dad and I walked up the walkway and onto the front steps of the giant house. He had a hand firmly holding my shoulder, as he rang the doorbell.

"Remember Angel, be a lady" my father reminded me. I nodded and chuckled. He has to remind me or I'll act like my usual self. And that includes sitting like a slacker, having no manners, and eating sloppy. BUT, I don't always act like that, only on my lazy days, which I have very few of. My dad always has people over, mostly because he owns his own business. He told me that one day, he will pass it over to me. It's not my dream, though. I want to be a professional singer when I grow up, but I can't let my dad down, so I'm thinking about giving up on ever being a singer and just study business when I get to college.

The door suddenly opened, snapping me out of my thoughts. Mr. Sheldon stood in front of us with a wide smile on his face.

"Welcome, John" he said, shaking my dad's hand. My father smiled and shook his hand.

"Hello, this is my daughter, Angelica" Dad replied, introducing me.

"Hey, Angelica, how's it going?"

"Great, thank you, Mr. Sheldon" I responded. He moved aside and let us enter. It was bigger on the inside.

"Robert is in the living room with my wife" Mr. Sheldon informed us. Since we didn't know which way to go, we waited until he led us to the huge living room. And just like he said, there was a women around my dad's age, and Bob, from my school. "Shelly, Bob, you remember Mr. Jones."

Both Mrs. Sheldon and Robert bother shook my dad's hand and said their hello's, then they all turned to me. My dad placed a hand on my shoulder and introduced me, a wide smile on his face the whole time.

"I would like you all to meet my daughter, Angelica" he said proudly.

"It's a pleasure to meet y'all" I said. Mrs. Sheldon and Mr. Sheldon both smiled widely at me, before slightly pushing Bob closer to me. He smiled nervously at me.

"It's nice to meet you, Angelica" he said, holding his hand out to me. I shook his hand.

"Same here" I replied, still holding his hand. We stayed that way for a while, until I started getting nervous and slowly pulled my hand away.

"Robert, why don't you show Angelica the garden?" Bob nodded, not taking his eyes off of me.

"It's this way" he said, leading the way. I was as nervous as can be. Never did I imagine I would be hanging out with Bob Sheldon, most popular guy in school. But I have the idea that our parents might be trying to get us together. Too late, though. He has a girlfriend, and I don't think she's too fond of me. Whenever I'm around her, she won't stop staring at me, and at times, I feel like she's glaring at me or something. "We go to the same school, right?"

"Uh, yea, I think so" I replied.

"Think so? Haven't you seen me in the halls before?"

"I can honestly say, I don't know" I said. I heard a soft chuckle escape his lips. It made me smile.

"I've heard about you from one of my friends. You're the girl that's into sports right?" We made it outside into the beautiful back yard. I was surprised by how pretty it was here.

"Um, yea" I replied, looking around at everything. "It's so pretty here."

"Yea, my mom is into gardening" he said.

"So she grew all this?" He nodded. "Wow, I can barely grow grass." He chuckled at that.

"Tell me about it, I don't even know how she does it." I turned to him, flipping my brown, curly hair over my shoulder, and smiled. "So, what's your favorite sport?"
