Piper P.O.V
"Piper!!! Piper!!!"
I suddenly sit up on my bed, and grab my head. I look round my room, I must of fallen asleep since arguing with my mum. I check my phone for the time. 7.00pm. Damn I better head down I say just as my stomach grumbles loudly. I get off my bed and walk into the bathroom and throw cold water on my face. I pull the towel of the railing and dry my face. Taking a deep breath, I go down the stairs.
"Mum?" I shout.
"In the dining room." She shouts back.
I walk round towards the dining table. Dave is sitting at the head of the table, my mum on one side and Zack on the other. I pull the chair beside my mum out and sit down. I take a plate and fill it up with garlic bread and lasagne. I sit there quietly and eat my food as an awkward silence fills the room.
"So." my mum speaks.
"Dave and I are throwing a housewarming party this Friday. What do you guys think?"
"Cool." Zack replies.
I don't even look up and acknowledge it.
"What do you think Piper you can invite your friends over?" Dave asks enthusiastically.
"Great thanks Dave." I give him a fake smile and go back to eating my food.
"So Zack tell us something about yourself?" my mum asks him nosily. " Any girlfriends? or special girl in your life?." She asks smiling at him.
Zack laughs. "No Jennifer no girlfriend, there is someone I'm interested in though." he says freely.
I stop filling my gob with food and start spinning the food on my plate.
"Tell me more." My mum says menacingly.
"Well there's this girl in my calculus class." I suddenly start to cough as something goes down the wrong pipe. My mum pats my back as everyone stares at me. Tears fall down my eyes as I grab my water and drink it down. I look up and Zack's eyes meet with mine. He had the cheekiest grin I have ever seen resting on his face. What the hell was he talking about? Surely he wasn't talking about me?
"You okay Piper?" Dave asks.
"Yeh sorry about that." I say apologetically.
"I think we are all done here Piper clean up." My mum says in a stern voice.
"Zack help her." Dave says.
"No no Piper will manage let Zack relax he had to lug those boxes about."
"Plus it's a woman's job." Zack replies.
"Excuse me!!" I look at him giving him a dirty stare.
"A woman's job!!? Please tell me your joking?" I laugh.
He shakes his head, I look at Dave and my mum in disbelief.
"Wait here!!" I walk round and grab his dinner plate of him and leave it on the counter top in the kitchen, I open some cupboards till I find a bowl and open the bin and take out some food scraps. Walking back into the dining room with an attitude, I put the bowl down in front of Zack.
"Enjoy." I smirk at him.
"Piper is that crap out the bin?" my mum squeals.
"That's vile." Dave replies holding his nose.
I look at Zack.
"If your gonna be a sexist pig you can eat like one."
"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh damn you got burned!" Dave laughs and points at Zack. Who gives me an evil look.
