You.

Chapter 2

I come home to an empty house. It's no surprise as my mom works for the ASPCA and is usually either on rescue missions or staying the night to be sure an animal is cared for. I respect what she does I just wish I could see her more.

My father on the other hand, hasn't been home in years, 10 to be exact. When he and my mom were divorced he didn't want anything to do with me. And now I feel the same about him.

I see a note on the counter with $20 dollars and the pizzeria's number as well as my mom apologizing for not being home. I love pizza and I understand that my mom is needed so I guess that puts me in a good mood. I've got the whole house to myself and decide I'm in the mood for music. I turn up the radio full blast and find myself belting out the lyrics to a song I barely even know.

While in my strange musical state I guess I didn't notice that all of my windows were open and that the UPS man was parked outside and currently knocking on the door. I quick turn my music off and answer the door embarrassingly. The man gives me a weird look then asks me to sign for the package, I sign it and hand the clipboard back to him. He hands me the package then compliments on my singing and I don't think I've ever been so embarrassed in my life.

After my awkward occurrence I decided on calling the pizzeria, they said my pizza would be here in 30 minutes and I must say I am very excited.

While waiting for my pizza to get here I decided I should start my homework. While on my second page of Calculus I hear my doorbell go off as well as a few knocks on the door. I hastily stand up and make my way to the door, hoping it's my pizza. I open the door and see Harry. I'm embarrassed for the second time today when I remember I'm in my Scooby Doo pajamas.

"Miss Jane is that you?" Harry asks while snickering to himself. I can feel my cheeks heating up as I slowly nod my head.

I give him the money and as I'm about to shut the door he catches it with his hand.

"Wait..I was meaning to ask you something, I actually started to in English but Mr. Wellington cut us off remember? Anyways would you like to go on a date with me?"

As I'm about to reply he cuts me off again. "Actually let me decide for you...okay so I'll pick you up tomorrow at 7" he says cockily then finally lets my door close.

As I bring the pizza box to the table I'm still trying to process what just happened. Boys don't like me. I am not liked by boys. Boys don't ask me on dates. Boys don't say they'll pick me up at 7 to go on dates. That doesn't happen. This must be a joke or something.

I spend the next few minutes pondering over all of the bad intentions Harry could possibly have. (Is he actually a 40 year old man?) (Does he want to chop off my hair and sell it?) (Am I on an episode of one of those pranking shows?) (etc.)

Once I'm done pondering over Harry whilst eating my pizza, curiosity gets to me and I realize I still haven't opened the package that was previously delivered. I really hope it is what I have been waiting for.

I open the UPS package and it's here...it's here!!! I've dreamt of this day for so long and it's finally here!!
