"You really don't have to walk me home from school, Chase." I say.

"It's no problem. You live close to school and I live close to your house. And besides, then we get some alone time." He says. I look around. There's a mom pushing a stroller, a man walking his dog, and two little girls playing in their front yard.

"Yes, very alone, I see." I say.

"You know what I mean. I hardly get to talk to you when Adam and Bree are around."

"Well, their my friends too, Chase."

"But I'm your boyfriend."

"Oh. I forgot." I joke. Chase puts a fake shock look on his face.

"Take that back, Melanie Julia Hancock!"

"Okay, okay. I could never forget you." We walk up to my front door.

"Your mom still doesn't like me?"

"Well, she's never really met you, except for that time at the sleepover. She's probably in her office, working, if you want to talk to her..."

"NO!" He says, a little louder than normal.

"Chase Davenport! Are you scared of my mother?" I say, laughing.

"Me? No. No no no, why would I be scared? Of your mother? Of your scary workaholic mother? Nononono, I am most certainly not scar-"

"Here she comes!"

"Ahh!" Chase shrieks and runs down the stairs that lead to my front door. I double over, laughing, then sit down on the top steps.

"Just....kidding..." I say, in between laughs. He sighs and sits next to me. "Just admit it. You are a little scared of my mom."

"Okay. Maybe a little bit." He says, holding up fingers to show me how much.

"Wow. What a mighty macho boyfriend I have."

"Hey, if you wanted brawn instead of brain, you should have dated Adam."

"Well, you have beauty too."

"No, you have the beauty. Brains and beauty." He says, putting an arm around my shoulders.

"What? You saying I'm not strong?"

"Umm, well.."

"You're right. I'm not strong. Don't worry. You actually might be stronger than me." I say. Chase laughs.

"Well, I should probably get going. We have training." He stands up.

"Okay. See you tomorrow, then?"

"Yeah. I'll text you later."

"Okay." I give him a hug and he gives me one back. It feels so good to have someone like me the way Chase does.
