Talk About Awkward 🎈

10. Ice Cream

Guess how long I was grounded for.

One week.

Plus house chores.

How can mom do this to me??? This is absolutely pure torture!

"You made him sick. This punishment is suitable for you." Mom said.

"But he mixed Smarties and Reese's pieces together! That's really mean!" I defended myself.

"So adding eye drops is less mean than mixing candies?" Mom raised her eyebrow.

"Yes!"

Mom rolled her eyes and sighed. "Honey, this isn't a joking matter. What if he died?"

"But he didn't so it's fine... chill mom."

"Chill? Well, thanks to your smart comment, you'll be doing an extra day of chores."

"Mom!!!" I whined.

"Want me to add another day?"

"I think an extra day is fine."

"I'm glad we have come to an agreement." Mom smiled at me.

Life sucks. At least mine is. Can you imagine mopping the floor on a Friday afternoon??? I should be eating ice cream or hanging out with Max, not doing house chores.

I feel like Cinderella because I'm the only one who has to do the chores when no one in the house does. So I'll be the Cinderella, mom will be the evil stepmother, um... who's going to be the stepsisters?

Maybe I'm like Snow White. Mom will be the evil queen for making me clean the house. Reese will be the prince. So Aaron and Gary will be the animals?

Nah.

I just don't get Snow White. Why is she continuously cleaning when the animals will join her and listening to her sing. Yeah I get it, they didn't harm Snow White but they are wild animals, they might be carrying some-

You know what? There's no point arguing about Disney's logic.

Holding the mop firmly, I did a twirl around it before using it as my makeshift standing mic.

Coz you're hot and you're cold

You're right and you're wrong

You're in and you're out

You're up then you're down

I tried to remember the rest of the lyrics but failed.

"What's the- ughh forget it!" I sang another song.

When your lips touch mine

It's the kiss of life

I know

I know that it's a little bit frightening

We might as well be playing

With lightning

Belting out The Wanted is definitely better than Katy Perry. No offense to Katy Perry fans, I'm The Wanted's number one fan.

Besides, I was imagining Reese's lips on mine. How would it feel? Soft and smooth? I'm feeling butterflies in my stomach now. Oh stop it, I don't like Reese.

Really? Then why are you thinking about kissing him?

I was... fine! Maybe I was thinking about him but I don't like him. I mean, he's just a friend.

Yeah... friends don't imagine kissing their friends on the lips.

Okay fine, maybe I like him more than just a friend? It doesn't matter anyways because he doesn't like me that way.
