It's finally Friday and I am ready for the weekend. I strut through the kitchen singing like I'm in a Disney musical. "Why are you so cheery?" My mom ask throwing me an orange. "It's Friday!" I sing song.
"Did you get laid?" Chris walks in. I punch him and he punches me back. "Hey! Not in the house!" Mom yells. "Someone's a jealous virgin." I whisper as I walk away. He just snorts.
I don't even bother asking for my car because what's one more day without it. Dad comes back tonight and he'll give me my keys anyway.

"When are you bringing over this boy who has a smile glued to your face every time you look at your phone?" Shockingly my dad ask me. He peaks over the morning paper at me. I know he's only asking for my mom. "Come on papi." I give him the eye. He's not interested. He's never been interested in my love life.
"We don't know anything about this boy Mila!" Finally my mom breaks her silence. I knew he'd ask for her. Maybe I can answer an easy enough question. "Fine what do you want to know?"
She thinks about it for a minute.
"Are his eyes dreamy?!" My dad beats her to it and flutters his eyes with a low laugh. I join in laughing. When my dad is serious he's scary but I love this version of him better. "Yes! They're green!" I flutter my eyes back at my dad. Sofi flutters her eyes with us. My mom shoots us all a glare before joining in too.

It literally feels like time is moving by soo slow. Even Camila mentioned how lagged today has gone by and it's only second hour. I play with a little piece of paper on the library desk. I wonder what time my dad is getting home.
"Did you decide on Skyscraper?" I hear Ally ask Camila. "No I picked a different song after all." I see Camila perk up. "Oh what one?" Her friend ask back. "It's a surprise!" Camila winks. I look back and forth as they converse. What are they even talking about.
"What about you LoLo?" Camila directs her attention to me. "What about me what?" I eyeball her. "Your song for choir dummy!" Ally says flicking the piece of paper back to me after it drifted to her side.
Oh shit. I completely forgot about the whole solo thing for choir. Both Ally and Camila laugh at my reaction.

Lauren's face right now is priceless! She looks like you just told her that her gold fish died. Complete dread and panic. I poke her jawline.
She snaps out of her trance. " I forgot." Her voice is low. "It's fine just pick a song right now," I shrug. "It's no big deal."
I grab her phone from the table going into her music. It's so weird to think how comfortable we got with each other in just two weeks. Even weirder how we just accepted it, even Ally. It's like it feels like Lauren was always suppose to be here all along.

I look at Ally in complete horror. She sends me a sympathetic look. I don't want a repeat of last week. I know I didn't freak out just from singing in front of everyone it was a compilation of everything. But I just can't sing in front of them again. I haven't sang since. Mrs. Lopez is pretty chill about it but I don't know how lenient she'll be today.
Camila keeps recommending me songs and I just nod. I know only one way to avoid the whole thing. I've been good about not ditching all week. But this is an emergency!
