VII. Reverse Strategies from Dad.

✳✳✳

"I have a boyfriend!" I mutter unhesitatingly, from the inner depths of my mind, without any manner of thought, or edge of reality - just splurting based on the nervousness running through my mind, and pure stupidity.

"You have a... -boyfriend?" the brown eyed beauty in front of me questions, probably confused as to how this involves anything.

He just said, on a platter of gold to be exact, 'I can help you defeat Tiffany, the queen herself!' and all I could utter was 'I have a boyfriend'?

I gotta hand it out to myself, cause my conscience always seems to play the cards wrong; but believe me when I say, if you were the one standing right here - right now, you'd also be flunking this conversation.

"I u-uh, have -" I stutter, clearly trying to resuscitate the moment here, seeing what I'd just done, and looking for something worthwhile to say, to end this very life-threatening situation. "I- i-" I gulp on my very own saliva.

You know in life, there might come a time when you're asked 'Remember that time you messed up pretty bad?'... I finally have that moment.

And this moment, has no resuscitation.

Still with confusion written all over his hazel filled eyes, I finally get my mind and mouth to cooperate by saying, "I'm sorry, I have to go..." before I mess this up even more! I hesitate a bit, before quickly making my way past the perfect stranger.

✳✳✳

I waltz into my home, after a long day at school, still having that awkward feeling in my gut, hoping throughout the day that I wouldn't run into the perfect stranger again - and also a long ride from school on the bus with Lindsey, begging for forgiveness for the whole ditching situation earlier this morning.

Honestly, I have no idea why Lindsey even takes the bus. She's like the sole heiress to some Puerto Rican Island, I think. She could have her very own car with custom made plates and things I cannot even begin to imagine.

But anyways, that's why she's Lin - humble as can be.

I walk over to the kitchen, staring down at my phone smiling at a text from Mia, as I drop my bag onto the counter.

• But in my defense, you do know that even if I ditched you a hundred times, my freaking love for you is undying, Vi. No homo!

Thinking of a worthwhile reply for my cold yet warm-hearted friend, a voice startles me.

"Welcome home dear!"

"AHHHH!!" I scream out in shock, then turning to see my Dad resting on the kitchen door smiling. "Dad! That isn't funny!"

"Sorry!" my dad says with his hands raised high. "- Officer Green." making his way over to the counter where I'm seated. "So.. What's up?"
