Chapter 20

"You know that boy mason right, the one you said was handsome"i pause and look at mum, she nods and says "yes what about him" I reply quickly "well I kinda have a crush on him and yesterday he asked me out but I don't know what to say I told him I'll think about it but I don't know what To do" my mum laughs a little and hugs me again " I knew something was going to happen with that boy, honey I know I asked you to ask my permission before dating a guy but it's really your decision" she says a smile creeping onto her face I'm about to reply when she speaks again "now personally I would date him, he seems like a good guy and isn't too bad one the eyes I might add" I Burst out laughing my mum joins in and at that moment Nate walks into the kitchen trying to act casual and sits at the table playing his phone but I can tell me was listening to over convosation and I can tell mums realizes this aswell. mum gives me a look and walks over to Nate "hey kido what have you been up to" my mum says, Nate is a really bad lier and mum can pick up lying really easily so she listens closely to his answer when he speaks "oh um I was in my room...yea" I almost laugh out loud how can he be so bad at lying when he is related to me and I lie my but off. my mum laughs and says "how long were you listening to indie and I convosation" nate's face drops and he answers "from the beginning I was going to come into the kitchen but I saw indie walk in there looking like she was about to cry to I stayed and listened... don't worry indie if simon tries to talk to you I will thump him" I laugh out loud this is the exact same thing mason said how can they be so alike and so different at the same time mum breaks me thoughts by saying "Nathaniel if you even see simon I don't want you near him let alone touching him in some way, I want you to either call the cops or me... got it" Nate goes quiet then says "yes mum" then he for some reason smiles cheekily at me and says "I'm going to tell mason you have a crush on him" I snap at him "you will not so much look at mason you little maggot" mum growls at me "Indiana do not use that language in my house" I drop my eyes and say sorry "mum I'm sorry, but please tell him not to tell mason I like him or I will tell one of the girls in your group that you had to wear pull ups until you were twelve then we will see how cool you are then huh" I finish giving Nate a triumph look but Nate goes a bright red colour and yells at mum " how does she know you said you wouldn't tell anyone" I laugh meanly and say "she made me swear to tell no one because I found out she didn't tell me so do not speak to my that way" mum gives me a grateful glance and says "Nate you will tell no one that indie has a crush on mason or I might just do nothing when she tells everyone that you had to wear pull ups" mum finishes and Nate looks like he is about to throw up but he manages to say "fine I promise I will tell no one as long as indie promises to tell no one" I'm completely fine with this because I don't want to have to talk to nate's friends again so I say "fine I promise now. You do the same" Nate answers quickly "I promise... I wasn't going to do it anyway you know that right" of course I knew he wasn't going to so I say "yeah I know and you know I wasn't actually going to tell anyone you secret right?" Nate nods and looks at the ground, I move for standing beside mum and give Nate a hug a whisper in his ear "meet me in the bathroom after this" he nods again as gets up and leaves. I turn to mum an she looks confused I ask her "what's wrong?" she shakes her head and says "you kids confuse me one second your fighting then... I don't know" my mum looks towards the kitchen door then back at me and says "I think she should date mason" at that she turns and leaves in the direction of her bedroom. I stand still for a second listening to mums footsteps then I hear her door close and so I walk towards the bathroom to meet Nate.
