"Remind mom that I'll be arriving home late due to soccer practice, alright, Stevie?" My brother reminds me.

I nod my head, closing my locker. "Yes, rat. I'll remind her, but shoot her a text."

Ray rolls his eyes at his nickname and nods. We separate ways with him heading to practice and me walking home. Home. After a long day of school, I'm walking home on a Friday.

Walking home, I was kicking a pebble along the way, listening to Spotify. This is an everyday routine, but I never got bored of it. I enjoyed having some alone, quiet time because it's something you don't get often. It's been three weeks since the school year started and it's been tiring.

I scroll through my twitter and like some relatable tweets. During my twitter time, a text popped up from April

april: yo stevie! hang out with me like now. i'm dying of boredom

I chuckle at her text as I begin to write my response.

me: i don't think you're literally dying of boredom so i don't know ;)

april: don't wink at me like geez first take me out to dinner :p

me: where u at?

april: home. mikey dropped me off and left. pfft, fake

me: I'll be there in ten

I look for my mom's contact and call her. After two rings, she picks up the phone.

"Hello?"

"Mom," I begin. "I'm going to hang out with April right now, so I'll be home later. By the way, Ray is at practice."

"Okay, honey. That's fine. Have fun!" With her response, she ends the call and I start walking to April's house.

"Stevie! You're here, finally," she hugs me tightly.

"Gosh, did you really miss me that much?" I scoff.

"Geez, just showing my love for you, but guess you don't want it," April rolls her eyes, letting go of me, then heading to the kitchen, so I close the front door.

I walk into her house and she walks back into the living room with a soda and a water. She hands me the water and I thank her. "What do you plan on doing?"

"Well, Ms. Nevels, I'm thinking we should go to the ice cream shop because I really want some ice cream, right now," She says, holding on to her stomach. I nod to her, signaling 'that's a great idea.' "Great! So, the mall it is? I mean, it has such good ice cream," April says as her eyes shimmer with love and hunger.

"Yes, let's go now!" I yell excitedly. "Walking or?"

"Let me call Michael and see if he can take us and might as well, get some ice cream with us," April suggests, taking out her phone and dialing Michael.

When Michael answers, April heads to the kitchen and talks with him. I look around her living room, observing her family pictures. She was such a cute lil baby, I thought.

"Stevie, we got a ride," April smiles.

About fifteen minutes later, we hear a honk outside the house. We both walk out and I see Mikey in the car. Confused is what I felt.

"I thought we were inviting Michael," I say to April as she's locking the door.

"Stevie, Mikey's name is Michael. I call him Michael sometimes," April clarifies. "Right, Michael?" Mikey just ignores her.
