Lucia's POV
I get off the bus and walk to my locker. Last night's dinner with Ethan wasn't bad.
"How was your weekend" Mya pops up out of nowhere.
"Jeez, you scared me" I slightly jump.
"It was horrible at first, but it got better. How was your weekend" I ask her.
"You won't believe it. We ran out of sugar, and my mom made me walk around the neighborhood asking people for sugar. Who even does that anymore" she huffs.
"Yeah, no one does that anymore" I laugh.
"How'd your weekend go from horrible to better" she asks curiously.
"Hope came to visit, but it got better because Ethan and I had dinner last night" I say.
"Ughh I hate your cousin Hope too. Wait, you and Ethan went on a date?!" Mya squeals.
"Oh honey no, it was NOT a date. Just two people eating food" I reassure her.
"Ahhaa okayyy. I don't know why you're being like that. Ethan clearly likes you" she rolls her eyes.
"Yeah keep rolling your eyes, maybe you'll find a brain back there" I smile.
"Whatever, let's just get to class before we're late" Mya picks up her pace.

"So we're going to be working on a family history tree project this week" Mr. Caps informs us.
"This is World History class not family tree history class" a kid in the back retorts.
"Mr. Finnly, you're already failing my class, so I suggest you hush it and participate in this project" Mr. Caps says while earning a few "oooo's" from students.
"I don't want a family tree that dates back to the 1700s. I just want one starting from your great grandparents to you and your siblings now. Also, if you add pictures to your project, I'll give you extra credit points" Mr. Caps hands out the rubric.
This project should be interesting because I actually don't know that much about my family. Both of my great grandparents passed away before I was born. They only got to see Rick as as a newborn baby.
As for my extended family line, I only know of Hope and her parents. Hope's mom and my mom are sisters. Other than that, I don't know anyone else because they all don't keep in touch or my mom and dad don't speak about their own families.
(How many cousins do you guys have? I have over 50 lol)

"Hey" Ethan sits down next to me at lunch.
"Hey, you want to work on the project after school together" he asks me.
"Sure" I smile.
Mya is sitting across from us, smiling like a maniac.
"Yes, Mya" I glare at her.
"Nothing. It's just that you two would make a cute couple" she continues to smile.
I kick her underneath the table, and she slightly hisses.

I plop down on my bed and kick off my shoes and clothes. I lay there in my undergarments for a while before I change into something more comfortable.
Before I could get up, I hear my window being opened.
"Fuck Ethan! You scared me" I pull the covers on my bed over me.
