chapter 12

~Madeline's POV~

"So, Madeline. I was thinking."

I look up at Colin, confused.

"I really like you. I know your first impression of me was absolutely horrible, and I'm sorry, but I like hanging out with you. We should do this again."

"Of course. But what does this make us?" I smile.

"I don't know. Do you, maybe, wanna be my girlfriend?"

Girlfriend?!?

Don't you think that's a little too soon?

Of course I do like him, and I want to be his girlfriend.

Okay. I think I'll do it. You live and you learn, right?

"Yeah, for sure." I smile breathlessly.

"Awesome." He beams. "I was really scared you were gonna say no, to be honest."

I giggled.

"Maddie, is that you?"

I walk into the living room and see my mom sitting on the couch, watching a TV show.

"Yep." I say.

"Oh, you look nice. Where were you?" My mom smiles.

"Oh, um, out with a friend." I dodge.

"Ooh. Like a boyfriend?" My mom hints.

"No, no. I don't have a boyfriend. Anyways, how was your night?" I quickly deflect.

My mom gives me a wary look.

"It was alright." She said.

I head upstairs into my room, my mind buzzing.

Why didn't I want to tell my mom about Colin?

I don't want to stress her out, I tell myself.

I pretend that it's not hard to believe.

"So how are you and lover boy?" Caroline smirks, walking with me and Alissa to lunch.

"We're great." I smile at them.

"Hey babe." Colin comes walks up beside me, kissing me on the cheek.

"Hi." I blush.

"Looks pretty great." Ethan adds sarcastically.

I roll my eyes at him.

"We should all go do something tonight." Caroline suggests.

"Like all of us?" Colin asks swirling his finger to point at every one of us.

"Yeah." Alissa says excited.

"We should see a movie!" I exclaim.

"Yeah that sounds cool." Colin says a little less excited.

"Come on... it'll be fun." I slightly nudge him.

"We should see truth or dare." Grayson says, pointing his head down then narrowing his eyes up at me.

"OMg you look like Mr. Eaten!" Ethan laughs.

We all die of laughter.

"Dr. Eaten." I correct, laughing and feeling another clump in no man's' land.

"Me and Ethan will buy the tickets cause we got our check from pressplay."

"Boujee bitches!" Caroline jokes.
