I walked into the kitchen to see Cara making pancakes. "Morning." She said with a contagious smile but I only offered a weak smile.

"What's wrong?" She asked, her pale blue eyes filling with worry. "Nothing just something kinda annoyed me." I shrugged. "You can tell me." She said lightly touching my shoulder in comfort as I smiled.

"Do you know a girl named Vickie?" I asked softly. "No why?" She raised a brow. "Well a girl named Vickie called Rider and I had no other choice but to answer because he was in the bathroom, she asked him on a date and called him her handsome man and babe." I quickly made up an excuse as I explained, trying not to sound jealous. 'Not that I am...'

"Oh well I'm sure it's nothing." She tried to reassure me as I shrugged. "Nah I don't care." I said sitting down as she shook her head. "You care because you like him." She looked at me with a bright smile making me pull a face. "Ah ah nope." I shook my head rapidly.

Rider came downstairs as I shut up and sat down. "Morning mom." Rider said. "Morning." Cara greeted sweetly, gazing towards me. Rider sat next to me but I didn't look at him, 'I don't like him...do I? Nah.' I thought.

"Hey you okay?" Rider asked as he touched my shoulder. "Yeah dude of course." I roughly replied as he raised an eyebrow. "Dude?" Rider asked. "What?" I asked. "You've never called me dude before." He said as I shrugged. "You are a dude." I said. "Say has anything interesting happened, like have you gotten a job or a new girlfriend?" I asked as Cara looked at me and I shut my mouth.

"Uh no why?" He asked. "No reason just making conversation." I said. "Uh mom do you know what's wrong with Ash?" Rider asked as Cara shrugged. "Maybe she has a fever." Cara said.

Rider reached for my forehead and I backed away, "Nah don't worry I don't have one." I said as he grabbed my head and made me face him.

I looked into his eyes then looked away, "You can't even look me in the eyes. What's wrong? Did I do something wrong?" Rider asked as I got up. I could hear the hurt in his voice. "No....I don't know?! I got to go." I angrily said before running out.

I looked to my mom as she had a sad expression. "What the hell just happened?" I asked.

"Have you been talking with someone who has been calling you babe?" My mom asked, being wary of her questions. "Uh yeah that stalker Vickie keeps calling asking me out, why...oh shit. That's who she was talking to in my room." I said putting my head in my hands.

"She probably thinks I'm a player." I sighed. "I don't think it's that, I think her heart broke when She spoke with Vickie." My mom said as I frowned.

"What can I do? She probably never wants to see me." My mom smiled. "Don't worry, give her time to figure out her feelings."
