Mitchelle's POV

"Your late." I said, as I leaned casually on his car. Weird, his face...all confused? I don't know. Haha. I'm confused. Is it indecision or...happiness?

"W-what?"

"I said, your late! We're supposed to meet at 7:30!"

"Its just..." he said, while looking at his watch, "7:32..."

"See? Your two minutes late!" I said sarcastically. Time is precious people! "If you're gonna be late, don't ever set the time."

"I-I'm sorry. It's just that my momgavemesandwichesandthendadgoesbizarreand-"

What!? Hahahahahahahaha! He fell for it. Haha! I never thought he would. Oh, what a guy....

"Haha, stop...just stop it....its fine." I really can't stop laughing.

"WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING LIKE CRAZY?!" he shouted, "One minute your angry, the next, your all rainbows and...firecrackers..."

Hahahaha...."You should see your face!" I said. His eyebrows furrowed and his face...it turned....sad. Oh my God, I did not plan it this way. "Oh, hey....hey....It was a joke...hey...sorry....hey, Drew, sorry!"

"Get in the car." he said in a very dull voice. Oh my God, what have I done. I quickly opened the door and strap myself in like a good, obedient kid.

"Drew..."

What did he say? I'm sure he said something in a serious voice. Or was it an illusion?

"Are you serious?" I said, referring to my planned joke with disastrous consequences.

"No, I'm Drew." he said as he started driving.

"No, seriously."

"Yes, I'm serious..."

"I didn't mean to hurt you in anyway and I-"

"I said I was serious."

"Yeah, I get it...I hurt you...seriously. It was a cold joke. I'm very-"

"Hey, I told you, I'm kidding."

"Reeeeeaaaaally?" I flashed a full smile at him. Thank God!

"Yes." He smiled. Such perfect, white teeth. Curvaceous lips...WHAT AM I THINKING? BACK TO EARTH MITCH! He's one of them! He's a Ray! You can never fall inlove with one of them again! NEVER AGAIN!

"Uhm, what's Uncle Roger doing lately? I heard news about his retirement." I said, trying to keep a conversation.

"Yeah, he's using his new found freedom watching baseball and going fishing."

"How about...Aunt Marissa?"

"Uhm, great. As long as shops sell magazines...she'll live fairly well." He looked at me then smiled.

"Do you have a girlfriend?" SHUT UP! What did I just say? Oh God! Deep breaths...what's done is done.

"Why did you ask?" He seemed...caught off guard?

"Oh, nothing....If you don't want to answer...its fine." I laughed, trying to sound nonchalantly.

"Let me rephrase the question." He said, "If I were to ask myself, I would've said, 'Drew, oh handsomeness, did you ever had a girlfriend?' "

"Boastful bloke. Haha." I said. Looking at the driveway, I noticed that we're a few blocks away from our destination.

"Huh? Hey...I'm just saying that-"

"So handsomeness, did you ever had a girlfriend?" I might as well play.

He stopped the car in front of the twin's house before he answered.
