'Will you be my girlfriend?'

Hold up.

What.

What in the actual fuck is happening?

First, Theo, my soulmate, cheats on me with one my friends leaving me heartbroken, drunk, and alone, then the cliche hot bad boy brings me to his house where he lets me crash for the night before asking me to be his fucking girlfriend. What?

I stare at Elliot in complete shock. He looks at me expectantly, obviously waiting for me to reply. Luckily, before I can respond anything my phone starts ringing. I scramble to fish my phone out of my clutch, eager for this opportunity to avoid Elliot's question, but my heart sinks below my feet when I see that it is my mother calling. She's probably really, really mad at me for not coming home last night.

Fingers shaking with dread, I click the green receive button on the screen before holding the phone a few centimeters away, readying my ears for an onslaught of screaming. Instead, I am greeted with a warm,

'Hey honey!'

'Umm.. Hi Mum!' I reply trying to keep the confusion from bleeding into my voice, as I keep my phone away from my ear, still unsure as to whether my mother is angry or not. When she's angry she usually starts with the screaming, and lets me explain later, but maybe today is different.

'How are you and Mackenzie?'

Mackenzie? Why is my mother mentioning my best friend? I'm honestly so confused right now. My mother should be screaming my head off. I didn't come home last night. Usually she would have thrown a tantrum, but today she is completely calm.

'We're great!' I say weakly. 'Why am with Mackenzie again? I'm really sleepy, I must have forgotten..?' I say as Elliot has to clamp a hand over his mouth to stop himself from laughing. I must have forgotten he mouths at me laughing silently. Shut up I mouth back, my face turning red at my awful way of trying to get information out of my Mum.

'What are you talking about?' My mum laughs into the phone, 'Mackenzie called me last night to explain that you would be sleeping at hers because of the storm. She picked you up from your date with Theo last night? Remember?' I almost laugh out loud with relief. Another time Kenz has saved my ass. She's the responsible one in our duo. She often covers for me, and lies for me and is just an all around life saver. We met in kindergarten when some boys were making fun of me so she punched all of them right between the eyes. She almost got suspended, despite being 5 years old, but her parents were able to talk the school out of it. Ever since then I stuck to her like glue, following her everywhere. In the beginning she hated it a lot, but once we got to 3rd grade, she took me under her wing, and we became the best of friends. I love Kenz with all of my heart. I'm so grateful that she's friends with me. She's beautiful. Full on, model, drop-dead gorgeous beautiful. She has long blonde hair, and gorgeous green eyes. Her skin is pale, and her lips are full and pink. She always looks like she walked out of a photoshoot. Which is why she really could be one of the popular people like Elliot, but instead she chose to be friends with me.

'Yes, of course! Kenz just went to the kitchen to get us some breakfast. She'll drive me home after we eat, so maybe an hour! Bye!' I rush out before removing the phone from my phone and pressing END CALL, not even letting my mother reply.

I let out a deep breath and return back to Elliot, 'What were you saying?' I ask, knowing full well what he was saying. He shakes his head and sighs. 'Nothing. Don't worry about it.'  He says before turning around to the kitchen.
