***Josh's POV***

I felt something tickling my nose. I opened my eyes to see Simone using a pen to poke my nose. I grabbed her hand. She screamed. I pulled her on the floor with me.
"You evil brat! You're going to pay! " I said as I started tickling her mercilessly. She was laughing so hard that she almost ran out of breath.
Just then the bedroom door flung opened.

"Well well." Mr. Channer stood at the door. "Maybe I should leave you two  alone. Ill come back later."
"Dad!" Simone screeched.

"I was just leaving Mr. Channer." I said, taking up my pants and hurrying to put them on.

"Honey what do you want for breakfast." Mrs. Channer appeared in the doorway. "Oh-" she covered her mouth with her hand when she saw me struggling to get my pants on.

"Its not what it looks like-" I started to say.

"No we should leave." Mrs. Channer said pulling her husband with her and shutting the door.

What the hell is wrong with these trousers!

"Honey. You're pants are on backwards " Simone said as she burst into laughter.

I finally joined in her laughing. It was an embarrassing situation but I can survive it although I wouldn't want her parents thinking we did anything.....crazy.

"Knock it off." I got tired of her and she finally stopped.
Sim took up her phone. "Soooo.....about Ramon, how is that going to work?"
I never really thought about it.
"Should I text him or what. I don't even have his number."
I took out my phone and gave her Ramon's number. I'm regretting this already. What if she got really close to him and doesn't want to spend time with me anymore? What if they decide to make their relationship serious?I shook the thought from my head not wanting to get angry.
"So what's for breakfast?" I asked.

We both walked downstairs to the kitchen and took our seats. Mrs. Channer sat right across from me and Sim sat beside me as usual. We ate in silence for a while.
"So." Mrs. Channer started as I was  drinking my orange juice. "Did you guys enjoy it?"
Orange juice squirted from my mouth right into Mrs. Channer's face.
"Oh my God! I'm so sorry." I got up,stretched across the table to give her a napkin and knocked over my juice cup at the same time. Juice ran all over the table making a huge mess.
I sat down. Everyone were quiet until Mrs. Channer finally spoke. She turned to Mr. Channer and smiled. "Honey were you this clumsy after we had our first time?"
Everyone started laughing....including Sim. How could she be laughing? Feeling embarrassed I got up. "I think I should go." I said.
"You don't have to leave so soon son." Mr. Channer said. "We're not done making fun of you guys yet." They started laughing again and I took that as my cue to leave. I kissed Sim on her cheek. "See you at school." I told her.
"Awe. That's so sweet." I heard Mrs. Channer say as I walked out the door. What a family of trouble makers!
The walk to my house seemed longer than usual. Davia Prince agreed to go out with me. I could hardly believe it.

When I reached home my mom and little sister were standing outside. When my mom saw me she ran and hug me. What's wrong with her? This is strange.
"Mom. What's wrong?" I asked when she finally let go.
"I'm just so happy for you." She replied.
"Why?"
"You're girlfriend called to confirm tomorrow's dinner. I have to run to the supermarket. I'm going to make a splendid dinner she won't forget!"

"Huh?" I was confused. Why would Davia call my house. We haven't even spoken to each other yet. Ramon must be paying her to do this.

Kimberly poked me. "You're little scheme is not gonna work. I will get to the bottom of this. There's no way Davia Prince would agree to go out with a dufus like you." She gave me her evil eye and walked inside leaving me on the porch. I sighed.
Davia Prince likes me. I smiled as I went in and got ready for an awesome day at school.

*****
I got to school just as the bell rang for my first class. I walked in and sat down, humming to myself. Davia came in and sat beside me. Should I talk to her? Or should I just be cool and wait for her to speak first? My palms started sweating. Suspense was killing me.
"Er....good morning Davia." I finally spoke up.
She turned to face me slowly with an evil look in her eyes.
Oh no!
"Who do you think you're talking to?"
What's happening? Didn't Ramon say he had spoken to her and she agreed?
"Didn't Ramon talk to you? Didn't you agree to come to dinner tomorrow night and go to the ball with me?" I nervously awaited her answer.

She continued with her evil stare. "Yes. I agreed to all that. But I didn't agree to be friends with you. I'm doing this as a favor for Ramon so don't get any ideas in your big melon head. Give me your address and I'll be there."
She got up as the bell rang. She bent down and whispered in my ear. "Enjoy your minute of fame. It will be over soon. And don't speak to me unless you're spoken to."

Wow! She is feisty.....but still so hot and sexy.

"Ouch!" I felt someone slap me. "Sim what's wrong with you!"

"I'm here talking to you and you're not responding." She said. "Aren't you going to lunch? We have a lot to talk about."
Girls....always wanting to talk about everything that goes on in their lives.

We sat at a table at the far end of the cafeteria and instantly Simone started chatting away.

"About the ball..." she said, with her mouth full. "Ramon asked if you could pick me up after you pick up your date. He'll meet me there."

"What! No-" I shouted. "I mean....why can't Ramon pick you up?"

Sim shrugged. "I don't know. Maybe he has some place to go before the ball."

How am I going to have Sim and Davia riding in the same vehicle. This is a recipe for disaster!

"I can't wait to meet your girlfriend." Sim said,puckering her lips. "I think Im going to like her." She smiled.

"No. You won't." I whispered under my breath.

"What?" Simone asked.

"Nothing." I quickly responded.

She started clearing our lunch table. "Oh I almost forgot we have a date tonight. I'm going to kick your ass Bowers!"

"Er....about tonight. Can we take a rain check? I have a pile of homework to do." I hated lying to Sim but how can I tell her that I'm missing game night because her enemy is having dinner with my family?

"Ok." She said sadly. "Ill see you tomorrow then." She pecked my cheek before she left.

I should be enjoying life. I am too young to be stressing myself. I am having girl trouble when I don't even have a personal girlfriend.

I smiled to myself. At least my parents will be meeting my so called girlfriend tonight. They will be so happy for me.
Davia Prince. The most beautiful girl will be having dinner at my house. I cant wait for school to end.
