My eyes open and I look at the time , it's 10:30 in the morning. I panic thinking I'm late for school then I realise it's Saturday!

I go downstairs and my mums cooking pancakes which are my favourite.
Everything is so nice and I feel happy until I realise the embarrassing day yesterday:(

" so what do you think of the guy across the road, he's very handsome don't you think" my mum says bringing in my pancake

I didn't want her to think I knew him or have to explain everything that's happened with him
"he seems okay but is pretty quite, I'm not too interested" I say tucking into my pancake

" well maybe you can get to know him more , as we've invited him and his family round for tea, to get to know them a bit better" my mum says smiling

"You what!" I can't believe it

"What ? What's wrong" my mum looks puzzled

"You don't invite people we don't know around to dinner" I didn't want to sound too upset

" but it's only polite to do that when there are new neighbours" she still looks puzzled

"Ugh it doesn't matter " I finish my pancake and go up to my room.

Great! Kyle is coming to my house for dinner , he'll probably think I told my mum to invite him round or something. I get my phone ready to ring Selina but then I realise I'm still upset with her.

"Cara" my dad shouts

"What"

"Come help me wash the cars will you" he shouts

"Yeah" I have nothing better to do

I start of washing my dads car when I notice a car pulling up in Kyle's drive. Abby got out of it and was greeted by Kyle. You've got to be kidding me? She definitely wants him because of his fame! What's wrong with him?

"There coming over for dinner tonight" dad says

"I know mum told me" I say unenthusiasly

"Dont like him then ey?" He says
"Well let's just say I wouldn't have invited him" I say

My dads phone goes and he answers it. By the time we finished with the cars it was about 4:00.

"Cara you need to get changed they will be arriving soon" she says walking down the stairs all done up fancy

"Mum they only live across the road they aren't anyone special" I say hoping she doesn't know he's a celebrity

" yes but they are Kyle is a celebrity" she says

"Ugh I don't care, I'm not even going to sit at the table" I walk past he up the stairs

"Cara! What's wrong with you? Show some respect, you will come down and eat the meal with us whether you like it or not, is that understood?" She says sternly

"Fine" I slam my door so she gets the message I'm not happy about this .

I look through the mirror, my hairs messy my jumper is covered in water and my socks are wet. I put my slippers on and change into a different jumper, I didn't want to look like I made an effort. My hair was in a messy bun with strands falling aside my face. I looked okay .

There was a knock on the door and I braced myself something felt like something bad was going to happen tonight.

"Welcome, welcome" I hear my mum say

I had to go downstairs my mum was right it was only polite to.

Kyle was the last to walk through the door but I didn't bother greeting him. I didn't even look at him. His mum and dad were both tall and slender they looked like very professional people but very friendly they brought a bottle of wine with them and gave it too my mum. We all sat down in the living room and my mum left to prepare tea. My dad was talking to his parents and I answered the odd question his parents threw at me like 'oh do you enjoy school?'
'What things do you like to do' just to try and start conversation with me but it didn't work. Kyle was pretty quite in fact he spent most of his time on his phone with a confused look in his face which was rude.

"Well Kyle and cara have been made a bit of a thing on the media" I heard from kyle's dad.

Oh no please don't mention the article to my dad please nooooo

"We are really sorry about that" he says smiling at me.

"What article I'm not sure what your on about" my dad says turning to me with a confused look on his face

"Well.." His dad starts but luckily my mum walks in and shouts teas ready which gets everyone up in their feet. I'm slow to get to the table and end up having to sit across from Kyle.

Conversation was flowing fine but I didn't feel fine I knew any minute the article conversation will carry on and I will be totally embarrassed.

"Sorry can I go to the toilet" Kyle says

"Yes erm cara can you show him please, but not too the downstairs one that's blocked" my mum says plateing the food out.

Could this get any worse ? "Yes" I'm not impressed

I show him up the stairs

" there you go" I say .He just stares at me.

"What" I question him

"Nothing"

I walk back downstairs and get back into my meal Kyle follows shortly and returns to the table.

The evening was going really slow and all the adults had quite a bit to drink and they were all lost in conversation so I decided to talk to Kyle.

"So I noticed Abby came round to yours today" I say

"Erm yeah she did" he carries on eating his meal

"Are you guys like dating now?" I ask

"Wait what, no no" he stops eating and looks up at me.

"My dad is friends with her dad and her dad has been pestering my dad to get me to make a song with her and because they are friends my dad can't say no so she came round to my house today to help me write it" he says

  "wow" I roll my eyes and don't talk to him for the rest of the night .

It was time for them to go now which I was glad about. We all said bye and I went to bed as quickly as I could , I was shattered.
