As I pulled into my long driveway I admired the line of trees that bordered each side. Our driveway is composed of cobblestone because my parents are obsessed with traveling to Europe. We've gone every year for the past several years and now, I finally get to go by myself. I parked right in front of our green double front door. Our house is white with grand pillars in front and a porch. It's very southern. My dad is the CEO of a company in Raleigh and my mom just comes from a wealthy family, so that's how we afford everything. Well, I mean my mom still likes to keep busy so she opened up a flower shop in town. Although we have a lot of wealth, we don't let it keep us from being humble.

As I walked into my house I was greeted by my dog, Honey. She's a golden retriever full of energy. My dad was away on business in Tokyo of all places, and to no surprise my mother jumped at the idea of going with him so that she could sightsee. So for the whole week, it's just Honey and I.

After taking a shower and changing into pajama shorts and a grey tank top, I went down into my kitchen to make some dinner. I threw a burger on the stove and sat down to devour it as I opened up my english binder to study. I was halfway through my burger, when my phone went off. Nicole was trying to FaceTime me.

"H..ey," I managed to get out as I finished chewing.

"Don't talk with your mouth full missy!" Nicole said mimicking my mom. My mom is a firm believer in using polite manners, so she's always correcting something that I'm doing wrong. I love her, but gosh that woman can get on my nerves sometimes.

"What do you want? By the way, your hair is crazy!" I started laughing like crazy. Nicole looked like a literal lion from all her baby hairs sticking up.

"Ha. Ha. Very funny! It was super hot at the gym and you know we don't have AC!"

"I know, I know. So why'd you call?"

"Well, when I was at gym Katelyn and some girls were talking about how Tommy Stevenson saw you and Dawson chatting it up in the senior parking lot today."

"Excuse me?"

"I NEED DEETS!"

"What is there to tell?? I'm 100% positive that he's just trying to get in my pants."

"Do you like him?? He's so cute!"

"I know he's cute, but I don't want to get involved with a guy like him. Plus what would people say? After all these years I finally start dating someone like him? I don't think so."

"Sav, you're going to college soon. We're going to Europe! You should start experimenting and getting out there!"

"And how about you?"

"Well...that's also something I wanted to talk to you about..."

"Oh no.. what happened?"

"Nothing! Just uh.. Peter.. kind of asked me out.."

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" I started screaming out of excitement of my best friend. I knew that she's had the biggest crush on this guy Peter since the beginning of the year, but just like me, she's been too chicken to do anything about it.

"Calm down Sav!" she said giggling," My mom doesn't know and I don't want her to yet."

"Why not? Aren't you guys close?"

"Yea, but what if things with Peter aren't what I hoped?"

"It's just a first date Nic.."

"I know, but if it goes bad then I don't want anybody to know it even ever happened. So pinky swear you won't tell!"

"Fine," we virtually pinky swore by holding up our pinkies to the camera.

"Ok one more thing," Nic said quietly.
