Popularity Doesnt Mean Anything...

PART TWO

When I got home that day I was greeted by my dad, which was obviously surprising because I don't see him much and my parents aren't together. I was also a little annoyed by seeing him. My dad's an amazing guy, he's funny, talented and can do anything he wants but he doesn't know that. When I was about 10 years old my dad quit his job which at the time was construction which I should tell you that he was amazing at and he quit working on his paintings for a totally different job that he isn't even familiar with. Which is oil, he is now working and creating a company for shipping oil and stuff like that. Now, I know what your thinking, this guy gave all his life's work up for creating a company which he doesn't even know will pay money, which is honestly what I think but he is so sure it will make him beyond rich. It is supposed to be an amazing pay but it's been years and he still hasn't even gotten a dime and guess what? He won't even consider having a small job in the mean time so he can at least have some money and can help my mom buy me important things... so here he is living with his friend mark, who is a cranky,old man. So, I don't see my dad a lot because he doesn't have a car and I honestly don't want to see him because I'm a bit pissed off at him and all he ever does when I'm with him is about how much money he's going to get and how were gonna be millionaires.

"Hey, Babygirl!" my dad said. "Hi, why are you here?" I asked as. I walked into the kitchen to get some almonds as he followed behind me. "I just wanted to see how you are, I was wondering when you start school?" I groaned, of course he wouldn't remember he's too busy with his 'work'. "It started today dad, remember? I only told you a million times..." I said in an annoyed tone, see that's the thing about my dad, is that he NEVER listens and he has a horrible memory. For example, I will tell him I'm going to see my friends for a while and then when I come back he'll be like where we're u? And I'll tell him once again I was with my friends and then he'll remind me that I didn't tell him. It's really fudging annoying...

My dad sighed and said in a aggravated tone "well you don't have to get all pissy about it." i rolled my eyes and went up to my room so that I wouldn't have to hear him talk about his 'work' again. Once I got up to my room I put the bag of almonds I got from the kitchen down on the bed and I locked my door. I quickly got on my Instagram and saw I had two new followers, Jack7464 and Miles1230. I knew they were both the guys from school today so I decided to take a peek at their profiles. I checked jack's first and I smiled, he posted thoughtful quotes and cute selfies of him and his baby cousin. I followed him back and then checked miles's profile and I frowned when I saw that he had a million retarded selfies of himself and pictures of things he thought were funny, I quickly got back to my page and posted a quote I had in my photos. I then put my phone on my nightstand and and ate some more almonds and turned my tv on but I soon heard a ding sound from my phone and I looked at it and saw it was a text from and unknown number. It read "hi rose, it's me jack I wanted to know when we could work on the project and just so you don't freak out, I got your number from your friend? Alexis." I replied with "oh ok and well we can now if you want... I can come to your house and we can work on it." "Ok, sounds great, my address is 12340 hillside St." He replied and I smiled a bit. "Ok see you soon, I'll be there in 10." I slipped my phone back in my bag which I didn't even realize I had with me still and I stood up and went down stairs and said bye to my mom who told me that my dad left. I drove to his house and saw that his house looked really nice. It was a good sized house and it was a bit modern looking. It had a huge, beautiful garden, too. I got out of my car, closed the door and I rung the doorbell. A minute later jack opened the door and greeted me with a warm smile. I smiled back and went inside and followed him to his room. "So.." he said once we settled down in his room. "Well I guess we should start working on the project now..." I said. I got up from the chair I was sitting in and sat closer to him so we could work. I took out a piece of paper and pens and we got to work.

AN HOUR LATER

We were finished!! I know,its crazy since it was due in two months you would think it would be hard but it was actually really easy. "Well since we're done do you wanna hang out, maybe get to know each other?" he asked and I nodded and smiled at him. "So, what's your story?" he asked me. "What do you mean?" I asked him. "I was wondering, what are your hobbies, how old are you, favorite movies, etc" he said and I looked at him and his eyes met mine. "Well I love singing, I'm a horrible dancer and I love reading romance novels. My favorite color is green and my favorite movies are, the perks of being a wallflower, winters tale, Alice in wonderland and Percy Jackson and the lightning thief." I told him. "That's awesome, I love reading too and I really like Percy Jackson." He said and I smiled a bit more than I already was and that was how the rest of our conversations went, we talked, asked questions and I really

enjoyed it. For once in my life I think I actually have a real friend...
