"Good morning, princess." I wake Lisa.

She turns around groaning and looks at me. 

"Had a good sleep?" she asks me, her voice a little cracky.

"Yeah.. I'm gonna take a shower." I tell her and she gives me a short kiss before I get up.

Then I pick my black adidas hoodie and a pair of black skinny jeans and go to the bathroom. 

I take my shower and dress afterwards. Although I hate mornings, I'm quite chilled today.

Lisa doesn't notice when I come back, suprisingly she stands in front of my closet and pulls out a shirt.

I put my arms around her waist and whisper:" What you doing there?" 

"I don't have any clean shirts anymore." she mumbles. She's just too cute, I place my chin on her shoulder.

"And you thought you could just steal a shirt out of my wardrobe?" I chuckle.

"I wasn't going to steal it." she mumbles.

"But you weren't going to return it." I tease her.

"Go on, take it." I laugh and let go of her.

"Sometimes you're a real asshole." she laughs with me.

"Hurry up." I say and sit on the couch.

"You're finished with everything?" she frowns.

"Yeah, I packed my school bag yesterday."

"Ok. I'll be back in a minute." Lisa says and exits my room.

Suddenly my phone rings:

"Hey mom." I greet her.

"Hi sweetheart, have you already left for school?"

"No, why?"

"We'll be at home in about five minutes, so maybe you want to wait for us before going to school." she says.

Fuck. I didn't tell my parents about Lisa staying here. They have no clue. Am I going to tell them now? Or will I wait until they arrive and then quickly leave, before the 'I want to know more about your girlfriend'conversation starts?

"Mom, I've got a guest here..." I start to tell her.

"We said no houseparties Aaron." my mom sighs.

"It's not a houseparty guest thing."

"What is it then. Or better who is it?" my mom starts to get angry.

"Um Lisa, my .... girlfriend." I murmur.

My mom doesn't reply anything for a moment.

"Okay. Well we are almost there. See you then." she says and hangs up.

Shit. This is gonna get hard.

"Lisa!" I yell.

She quickly comes out of the bathroom.

"What?" 

"My parents are coming like right now." I start to get nervous.

This is starting much too early.

"So what?" she frowns.

"I haven't told them you are here. Um, but they know now through the phone." I mumble.

"Alright. I got this. Trust me everything's gonna be fine." she says, but she is also nervous.

"Okay just change your shirt. My mom's gonna think crazy things if she sees you wearing mine." I push her into my room.

"Calm down." Lisa goes to her suitcase and changes quickly into the stuff she wore yesterday.

I try to breathe and just in the moment I get more relaxed, I hear someone unlock the door.

"We're back!" my dad yells through the house.

I exhale, leave my room and go down the stairs. 

"Hi, good to see you. How was your trip?" I ask them, while taking my mothers suitcase to their room.

"It was beautiful. We had some real good weather." my dad answers. 

"So what's up with that girlfriend?" my mom grins.

"Her dad, had to go to Philadelphia for work and he didn't want her to stay alone, so she came here for a couple of days.." I try to explain.

"He's a lawyer. And he comes back today anyways." Lisa says from behind.

My mom smiles at her and reliefs me with that a little.

"Isn't your dad Mr. Wright? You look just like him."

"Indeed, he is." Lisa smiles.

"It's very nice to meet you.."

"Lisa." 

"Mom, Dad, we have to go now." I say and we go out of the house. 

"Bye!" my dad says.


"Wow, this was interesting." she says laughing slightly.

"You were great." I exclaim.

"Oh shoot, maybe I should call my dad." Lisa says and dials his number.

"Hey. You back again?" Lisa speaks.

"That's good to hear. See you." she waits a second and hangs up then.

"He's back again." she tells me.

"Cool." I mumble, knowing we wouldn't do anything together this afternoon.

But maybe this would be good for our relationship. I don't want us to get tired of eachother.

We keep quiet for the rest of the ride and get out as soon as we reach the school.

"Are we making this official?" Lisa asks me while we walk towards the entrance. 

"I would, if it's okay with you." I answer. My parents knew about the relationship now, so why shouldn't everyone else know?

"It is." she smiles at me, reaching for my hand.

I take it, man this is so cheesy but I kinda like it.

We go each to our class and agree to meet up for lunch with Nash.
