When we walked outside and started to walk towards StarTrucks, Caleb asked me a question, "Your mom seems nice, so you have any siblings?" I look towards him and say, "Well yeah." I show Caleb a picture of him on my phone. My brother has black hair and brown eyes. I have blonde hair and blue eyes. "Wow you look nothing like your brother." Caleb said taking a closer look. Something about him saying that made me feel upset. 

"Now that I think about it you don't look like your mother either." He said looking at me now. My mother has black hair and brown eyes too. "Well what a coincidence. Don't dig too deep into a hole that you won't get anything out of." I said trying to hold back a wave of tears from what he said. "Okay." He said. "Well do you have any siblings?" I asked trying to flip the table. "Yes, I actually have 4." He said. "Jeez! How old?" "Well the oldest is Hailey and she's 21, the second oldest is Adam and he's 17 onto 18 in a few months, the third oldest is me and I'm 15, then the youngest is Vanna and she's 4." He said taking a deep breath. "Wow! That is a lot of children to take care of for your parents!" I said. "Oh I don't live with my parents." 

"Then who do you live with and why?" I said questioning what he said. "Well my parents died in a terrible car crash and I live we all live with my 21 year old sister." "Oh I'm sorry." I said feeling bad for asking. "It's fine! I try to forget about that! Oh there's StarTrucks! Hurry before the line gets long!" Caleb said running towards StarTrucks. We got in line and got some drinks. 

I got a Caffè Mocha:

We then sat down and started to drink our  drinks. "Do you wanna come to my house for dinner and then I can walk you home?" Caleb asked focusing his eyes on me. "Uh sure I just need to tell my mom that." I said. "Ok."


Me: Mom?

Mom: Yes?

Me: Can I go to Caleb's for dinner and then he can walk me home?

Mom: Sure just make sure to text me when you get home and don't get home to late, it's a school night!

Me: Ok thanks mom!

"Ok I told her!" I said sipping my drink. "Nice." After a long conversation we walked to his house which wasn't even that far from StarTrucks. We got to his door, he unlocked it, and we both walked in.
