Diane pov

I was playing around with my food, my gramma and grandpa was tearin' up that food, well, it was my favorite dinner anyway: pork chops with sausage gravy, rice and cauliflower. I was picking with the cauliflower with my fork. I loved vegetables, if I had to be a vegetarian, I could do that. "D, what's wrong?" gramma asks. "Nothing." 

"Don't tell me that, somethin' on yo mind" she snaps, "Are you thinking of someone? Or something?" grandpa asks me, "I just had a lot happen at school today..." 

"Did you have another attack boo?" gramma drops her fork, I nod. She quickly come over to my chair, hugging me from behind. "Aw, its gonna be alright." I was rocked back and forth and kissed on the back of my head. "So what happened at school?" grandpa asks me. "Well remember the guy I told you about from the other day?" 

"What guy?" grandpa asks suddenly. "The new kid from like last week?" gramma asks me calmly. "Uh yeah, I have his picture." I take out my phone and pull up a picture from Mel, I hand her my phone, "He goes to ya'll school?! That boy is cute. You should date him!" 

"What?! No! He's my partner for the project...."

 "Lemme see that phone" grandpa takes the phone out of gramma's hand and looks at him, "Look's like a ladies man to me." 

"Well, he is a bit of an instagram star!"  "What's Instagram?" grandpa asks. "Isn't it that thing like Facebook or whatever you teenagers call it?"

 "Something like that. But he's a bit popular on the internet!" 

"Is he rich?" my gramma ask, "I don't know?" I say in question. "You're his partner on that speech project so you should get his number-" 

"No. Not happening. Not having my girl strung out" grandpa gruffs.

"John! Stop being so negative"

 "Camille you know how them white boys is! I ain't havin' that!"

 "Actually I think he's Mexican-American"

 "....Either way-" 

"John! Diane here is old enough to date! We dated each other back when we were sixteen!" then both of my grandparents got into an argument, I got my phone back and took my food with me. "I'm...gonna be in my room if you guys need me!" I slip out of the kitchen, and go to my room. I closed the door behind me with my foot and sat my plate on my nightstand.

I flopped on my bed, "I can't believe this!" I muffle, and scream into my pillow. "Why did he come out there for me like that?! I'm not that special" I laugh. 

"Why am I l-laughing?! WHY AM I STUTTERING! There's no way I'd fall for a guy like that. Too many girls and guys around him! Plus he's waaayy out of my league! I'm too shy to even read aloud in class..."

 "....But he called me his friend. Doesn't feel like it, maybe he said that just to be nice." I roll over looking at the stars on my ceiling.  I think a nap may help. But....we just met, not even talked for a week, and he calls me his friend?

Mel's pov

"I tried to make her stop and then she didn't know Travis was there and she ran into him and-ugh it was horrible, I most likely gave her an anxiety attack." I bury my face in my hands. "Well, you'll need to apologize to her. I would'a been mad too if my friend gave my personal information to someone without my consent. She'll most likely be over it by then, but you do need to apologize to her." 

"I will mom, I'll make sure of it." I grip the seat belt a bit. "So volleyball try outs are startin' tomorrow, during both lunch shifts. " my mom starts a different topic, " Really?" "Yep, you want to join? It'll look really good on the resume" "Mom, I already have cheer leading and Beta." 

"I know! I'm just suggesting!"
