I can't believe it's me that Shane likes! Me! I walk out of the building. Tears fall from the sky onto my face. I see my mom's car parked in the carpool lane. I sprint over and jump into the car.
I read my mom's lips, and they say hi.
"Hi Mom. How was your day?"
She says it was long, but thank God it's Friday. I smile at her with so much love. I feel like I can tell her anything. I know that some sixteen year olds think that their moms are terrible, but I'm glad I'm not one of them.
"Mom, I have some news to tell you." I say.
She asks what it is as we pull into our neighborhood.
"Remember the boy I told you and Dad about? Shane Hart?" I ask.
She replies that she does.
"Well you're not going to believe this, but he asked me out on a date." I say.
My mom parks the car, and her eyes are wide with joy.
She hugs me and says she is so happy, and she can't wait to meet Shane.
"How do you think Dad will take it?"
The same way, her lips say.
I hope they like him.
