I check my phone. 6:39PM. It would take me about 15 minutes to get to Ryan's house driving, and about 30 minutes walking. If I walk then we could walk back to my place together and have an awkward, but cute and hella gay goodbye scene in the movie we're making in my mind. If I drive I might actually be able to kiss him because my mom won't be staring from her window. I'LL DRIVE. If it gets me kissed I'll thank the gods.

"Hello, mother dearest." I say trotting down the stairs.

"Yes, my dearest and only child?" she replies not looking up from her work. She's a full-time artist, a part time lawyer, and a part-time doctor. It's complicated, but girl has her shit together.

"I'm gonna need to borrow the car, mother dearest. I gots myself a date tonight. We're going to the movies. I promise I'll be Cinderella and be home before the coo-coo clock goes off. " I stick out my bottom lip and whimper like a kicked puppy because I know she'll look at me and let me drive her car. She looks up at me and cocks her head to the side. She heaves a sigh.

"Alright go ahead. Take the mustang, the Jeep needs new tires and an oil change." That was easier than I thought it would be.

"Thanks, mom. Love you. If I'm later than 12 I'll text you. Bye!" I grab the keys off of the key hook and run to out garage. I drive to Ryan's house in complete silence, contemplating my life choices. I get out of the car and walk to his front door. Before I can knock the door flies open.

For a minute we just stand there. I take in the beauty that is his wonderful face. And he takes in the hideousness that is mine. I probably look worse in person.

"Hey." I breathe out.

"Hey."
