As went inside the house I went to the kitchen to greet my mom.

"Hi mom. Is dinner almost ready?"

"Hi sweetie. Yeah dinner is almost ready so go upstairs and freshen up."

I went upstairs to change clothes and wash my face. And I hurriedly went downstairs because I was so hungry.

"Hey sweetie. How was school? Got any new friends?"

"Fine. Well I have one know you wouldn't believe who he is mom!"

"Ohh so its a boy? Hmm who is it Hailey?"

"It's Gavin! Gavin Carter."

Then I told her the details on how we bumped into the hallway. And what happened at the cafeteria and how he offered me a ride.

"Oh my God Hailey your father would be so proud of you!"

"Mom don't overreact. It's not like its my first time to have a guy friend."

"Well I'm going to tell your father about this. I'm so excited! It will be like when I told him about Nathan when you two were kids and-"

I looked at her. I was shocked I didn't know what to say, she knew of all people she knew I didn't want to talk about him. Not anymore.

"I'm so sorry Honey. I didn't mean to bring him up I just got excited and got carried away. And besides they're moving-"

"I don't really care mom. I lost my appetite, I'm going to bed. Tell dad I slept early."

"Okay Goodnight Sweetie. I love you"

"Love you too."

I closed the door immediately and went to my bed. I was upset about what mom said. I didn't want to talk about my childhood friend. The reason why I didn't want to have any friends at all.

I took a bath and change into my PJs and went to sleep. I didn't even bother to check if my dad has arrived  from work because I was too exhausted. I wonder what tomorrow brings.
