[FROM THE FUTURE: Yeesh, my account fucked me over pretty bad. If this has been published many times, it was because my computer is a dick. But when I tried to come back to mobile, it said Ethereal wasn't my story.

But I managed to fix it after panicking. It involved a very chaotic process...ah, I won't go into detail.

Sorry.]

As it turns out, I didn't decide where to take Sock the next day. Or the day after that. Just being honest here.

It simply wasn't coming to me. I mean, I knew what I would have done if my mom wasn't an absolute idiot. Some things, however, can't be altered.

So, anything that dealt with money/driving was out of the picture. This included anything out of town, restaurants, dances, ECT. Basically, everything.

Anything that counted as a logical date wasn't going to work.

In the end, I was the equivalent of a used match; burned to a stump.

I threw my bag on the floor, ignoring the rather loud thump that followed. I couldn't be bothered with issues like whether or not my binders were bent. I cared about school, yes, but I didn't drive into every single pothole just to make sure everything was perfect (with the exclusion of my head, of course). Why should I?

I gave in to my plan B: ask Sock what he wanted to do.

Because, hey; it made sense.

This sucks, but I tried. Also, yeah, another short one, but better things are coming as soon as the next chapter.

Thanks, and goodbye.
