it’s been three weeks now since we moved to shylow the place I thought I would hate but I secretly liked it when we pulled up to meet Joe that afternoon. I walked down stairs still in my underwear I found mom making some toast and eggs she heard me come down.
"Want some Chance?" she was happy but not as happy as she was when we first moved here, that made me worry I went to the living room and turned on Looney tunes.
"No thanks I’ll eat later" I could hear mom preparing her breakfast as the toaster popped.
"You sound tired" she came into the living room and I looked up at her with bags under my eyes.
"kinda its just from working" I looked back to the glowing TV as she took a bit of toast, when she had finished with the mouth full she looked at me concerned.
"What time did you get in last night?" she put the plate of food on the long table in the center of the room and sat beside me, I glanced at her just then.
"I don’t know I went to Jessie’s after work for a little that’s why I called from work" she put her hand on my knee and I new this was going to a long heart to heart.
"Honey I think you should focus on work and college next fall" she moved her hand to her lap as I looked at her.
"What are you saying stop hanging out with Jessie and your friends?" she stood up and looked me in the eye.
"No I’m saying don’t stay out so late with your buddies and start taking work and thinking about next fall" she looked away and walked out with her plate of food.
It was clear the conversation was over and just then my phone went buzzed I had left it on the table last night when I came in. taking it I seen the name on the little screen it was Daniella my now good friend. Before I could open the message a knock came at the door I took the phone with me and opened the door Daniella was standing there in blue geans, her cowboy boots, a gray sweater and her hair falling around her shoulders.
"Umm hey Chance that’s an interesting outfit" she was giggling when I realized I was standing in front of her in my boxers moving quickly behind the door to block her view.
"Sorry you sent me a message and I was about to read but then the door... I’m sorry just wait in the kitchen my mom in there I’ll get dressed" my voice cracked as she walked to the kitchen.
"Hurry back" when she reached the kitchen I shut the door and ran to my room I went to my closet as I opened the message it read: a surprise at the door for you. Chuckling I pulled on a pair of blue geans with a small rip in the knee and my brownie sweat top. I brushed my hair and teeth fast before running down the stairs and to the kitchen. When I reached the kitchen mom had been doing dishes and Daniella was sipping some ice tea waiting for me. She looked up when she seen me leaning against the door frame of the kitchen.
"Nice to see you dressed" she and mom stated laughing and i new she had told mom what happened.
"Yea bout that, can we start over" her laugh turned into a giggle.
"Ok, hey chance did you get me message?" I felt a smile move across my face.
"Yea read it and went to change before you came, but I see you were let in already" we both laughed as she got up thanking my mom for the drink and walking out of the kitchen. When she was in the hall I turned to follow her when my mom spoke up.
"Well aren’t you a charm" I could hear the sarcasm in her voice I just waved the comment away then followed Daniella.
We walked into the living room sitting next to each other when she looked at me.
