Reagan P.O.V.

"How was school?"

She took a seat and placed her mug of coffee onto the coffee table. Then she raised her eyebrow, waiting for an answer.

After dreaming for at least a minute I got my eyes out of the zone and looked at Mom.

"Huh? Oh, right! Right! School! Yeah, yeah! Yeah, Mom," I said and laughed as if I was mental.

"You're crazy! You're weren't paying attention, were you? My question wasn't did you go to school! How was school, Reagan?"

My mouth froze open. "Oh-oh. Greaaaaaaat!" I said robotically.

The mom face palmed and got up. "Nonsense."

I faked it all. Haaaaaa. So Mom wouldn't know exactly what happened.

Jack dashed into the house and yelled,"DID YOU GET A BOYFRIEND?"

I rolled my eyes and said,"Jack, you little ten year old, mine your own business."

"Why is that, huh?" he said and grinned. "OOOOOOOH! Mom, Reagan has a girlfriend-I meant boyfrienddddd!"

I rolled my eyes. "Mommm, he always lies!"

Mom smiled and stopped mixing the soup in the pot. Then she said,"Or maybe he's just being honest about it. Oh my gosh, who's your boyfriend?"

She looked excited to know. And the real answer is.

No.

One.

Bravo Reagan! Still single. Because it's the first day of school! Duh!

I rolled my eyes and said,"Mom, god! No one!!! Don't listen to that-never mind!"

I stormed up to my room and groaned. First of all my mom thinks I have a boyfriend and my stupid ass brother!
