I immediately opened the door when I heard the doorbell ring.
"Hey," he greeted me when I opened the door. I smiled at him and lead him to the living room.
"Thank you so much for coming." I tell him with a smile.
"Not a problem Dani." he smiled back.
"Well, ready for pizza?" I asked him.
"Yeah, sure." he said and I opened the box of pizza. I let him get one first and I followed him.
"You're going back to school on Thursday Mike. I'm excited for you to join the group again." I said and took a bite from my slice of pizza. Yep, my slice of pizza. I'm not alone now.
"Yeah. Thanks." he smiled and took a bite from his pizza. "Anyway, why didn't you tell me that you're going to Philippines?" he asks me.
"Oh, sorry. I was so excited that I forgot to tell you." I explained and took a big bite. He laughed at my action and I giggled.
"Slow down." he laughs.
"Sorry." I giggled.
We continued eating in silence whilst watching the old episode of Friends.
"I'm going to get the two of us some water." I told him after finishing my sixth slice of pizza.
"Okay," he nodded and I walked to the kitchen. I filled two glasses with water and walked back to the living room.
"Thanks," he said when I handed him the glass. "I want another slice of pizza." he seriously states and I laughed.
"Michael wants another slice of pizzaaa." I said, in singsong version and we burst into laughter.
"Where are your parents?" Mike asked me when we recovered.
"They went to the ticketing office to get our plane tickets early in the morning yet they're still not here." I frowned. "But I called them before I ordered pizza and mum told me the are on their way home." I smiled.
"I'm excited to come back to school." he says.
"Me too." I smiled at him.
Silence crept in the room and only the voices of Jenny and I forgot who the other characters are are only heard.
An hour passed and I finally stood up to throw the box of pizza and to wash our glass.
"I'm leaving now. It's getting late." he states and I nodded. I lead him to the door and waved him goodbye.
Minutes later, mum and dad finally arrived. I kissed them good night and went upstairs, locking myself in my room.
....
I'm afraid to go to school. I'm worried about my friendship with Ashton. What if everything changed? What if everything becomes awkward? Hell, I don't want that to happen.
Luke just arrived and he's sitting on the couch with Allyssa. He's so nice to bring his annoying girlfriend to my own home.
"Let's go." I told them and they stood up. I kissed my mum and dad goodbye and stepped out of the house.
The walk was silent. Block after block, no one dared to say a single word. This silence is killing me. I want to talk but I can't. Jealousy is containing me right now that Luke's arm is around Allyssa's hips since we left the house.
When we're finally in the school, Ashton was the first one to greet me and I greeted them back. Of course, they did their bro fist thing again and we took a seat on the bench.
