Just the Usual High School Love

Chapter 8

Before I can think he pulls me into a tight embrace and I then hug him back. His hug feels so warm and welcoming. Like I'm meant to hug him, my body fitting perfectly in his long arms.

He ends our touch and looks back to smile down at me. I return the favor and then everything goes sort of silent. He just looks at me. It should feel awkward but it really doesn't.

Does this mean he is going to like talk to me more at school or tell people that we are going together? I feel my stomach surprisingly flutter at the thought. Do I like him? Maybe I do. I smile to myself at the thought and then I remember he is still here and I catch him smiling at me.

I don't know what to say so I am grateful when he asks me if he can walk me home. "Ya, sure that would be really sweet." I smile and we begin to walk in the direction of my house and out of the park.

When we arrive at my house he thanks me for saying yes and wishes me a goodnight.

I slowly sneak inside my front door and lock the door behind me.

I switch on the light and turn around to see my mom on the couch frowning at me. Oh shit.

"Where were you?" She asks. Oh shit oh shit oh shit! what do I say I am a terrible liar!

"...Umm..I was on a walk..getting some fresh air. Just took a run to the park." I answer too quickly. She raises her eyebrow at me and I don't have a very good feeling about what she is going to say.

"Now...  tell me what you were really doing?" she continues to get to me. I'm gonna crack.

"I was.. you know! Just out. Whateverrrr." Dragging out the whatever like there is no worry in the world. Except this one of course.

"Who were you with?" Damn she is good!

"CHAD!" I blurt and instantly cover my mouth, she knows I cant keep a secret. She uses this weakness of mine against me.

"Chad! From middle school that you have had a totally obvious crush on since middle school, Chad?!?!?!" Oh MY GOD my mother is a mean little gossip girl isn't she!

"MOM!!! OMG whattttt stopppp!!!!!!" I beg but she just begins to laugh hysterically at me.

"So why were you with him??" My mom pleads on and I cant help but feel like I am talking to one of the girls. So I begin to tell her  the whole story and we both start to scream and giggle like teenage girls. Only problem is... I am a teenage girl, but she.... she is my mother. I need more friends.

When we are finished basically freaking out, I go upstairs and try to sleep but I can't wipe the big smile off my face. I finally drift off to sleep and dream of the beautiful dimples on Brad's flawless face.

He is so perfect. I do like him. Actually I basically still like him. And i can't help the fuzzy feeling in my stomach. Maybe he likes me too.
