It's Sunday morning and I'm enjoying a nice breakfast with my mom. Of course, that means only eggs with toast. It's nice to us, okay?

Friday night's golf adventure, proved to be kind of a success. Lena and I won the bet by a long shot, and Ian kept annoying Percy by calling him "P".

I witnessed Ian kiss my best friend at one point in the night, and I wanted to squeal with delight for her. I know she's wanted that to happen for a very long time now. I hope that Ian feels the same, and this isn't just a one-time thing.

After Percy and I left the golfing course, he drove me home. I wish I could tell you that we ended the night with a magical kiss that pushed me to fall head over heels for the guy, but I would be lying.

The truth is he tried to kiss me again while dropping me off at home, but as I did earlier in the night, I moved my face. He ended up kissing my cheek again and when he asked me why I wouldn't let him kiss me, I told him that we were just friends.

He seemed shocked by my statement, but he tried to make it seem as though it didn't affect him. I wanted to tell him I think he's great, and maybe one day I could possibly have feelings for him, but I would just be lying again.

I made a vow to myself, and I'm keeping that vow. I will not let myself fall hopelessly in love with a boy, only to have everything crash and burn when he ends up being a tool.

I don't want to be that pathetic girl, wondering why I wasn't good enough. I've already felt that enough over the years and I will not let another person make me feel that way.

"Sweetie, you done with your plate?" My mom suddenly asks, pulling me out of my never-ending thoughts.

"Oh, yeah. Here." I hand my empty plate over to her and she places everything in the sink.

"You alright?" She asks.

"Yeah, just thinking." I shrug.

"Oh no, that can't be good." She smirks. "What's up?"

She gestures for me to follow her into the living room, so I do. We both sit on the couch and I let an audible sigh escape my lips.

"It's Percy." I begin.

"Percy? I thought you were all about James?" My mom raises an eyebrow. I send her a glare before pushing a piece of hair behind my ear.

"I'm not all about anyone, that's the thing. Percy tried kissing me twice last night, and each time I moved my face causing him to kiss my cheek instead. I feel bad, but I just don't have those special feelings for Percy. I only want to be friends with him." I explain while my mom contently listens.

"Is there someone else you have said, special feelings for?" My mom smiles wickedly, and I try not to roll my eyes.

"I don't have special feelings toward anyone." I lean back against the couch and cross my arms over my chest.

"Hm, okay."

"What was that weird voice for?" I lean forward a bit.

"Oh nothing." My mom looks away from me.

"You're lying. What are you thinking? Come on, out with it." I urge as she smiles up at me.

"Come on Sky, you need to stop pretending that you don't get goosebumps whenever you're around him."
