Before There Was You

5. Prom Date?

I really don't know what happened yesterday.

Martin touched me, he kissed my hand.

I'm bewildered by what happened.

It may be a small gesture but has he forgotten about our first encounter? Has he forgiven me?

He's full of mind games and I hate being this baffled.

I'm unaware what he's up to and I really want to find out. Should I? Or he was just playing mind games with me?

Anyways, this shouldn't affect me, it should be the least of my concerns right now.

I'm glad it's a weekend.

I may not have anything to do but I'm glad I don't have to deal with all the school drama for now.

What time is it? I check the time on my phone and it's 8:30.
Gosh why am I up so early.

 No! I'm going back to sleep.

The smell of my mother's pancakes is keeping me awake! I have to admit, she makes the best pancakes and I can't miss out cause I know if I wake up late they'll be finished.

I wake up and make my way to the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face. 

I head downstairs and find my dad sitting on the kitchen chair as my mom prepares breakfast. they are having a conversation and their faces lighten up when they see me entering the kitchen.

"good morning my two favorite people in the world" I smile and kiss my mom on the cheek then I go kiss my dad and sit next to him.

"good morning baby" they both reply.

"are you going somewhere today?" mum asks.

"I'm not sure, I just woke up for your pancakes" I reply.

"I Knew it" my mom shouts out of excitement and claps her hands "give me my ten dollars" she looks at dad then hands out her hand to receive money.

He laughs "ahh come on" he then hands her the ten dollars.

"Did you guys really bet on me if I was going to wake up because of mom's pancakes? Wow unbelievable"

They both laugh

"yes I knew you wouldn't resist them so I just had to trick your dad to get extra cash" mum shrugs.

"nice one mum".

We eat breakfast and have mini conversations.

After a few minutes my phone beeps

I pick it up and my face blooms as I read the text that I had just received.

📲good morning, I hope you had a peaceful night
- Chris

I reply 📱what a surprise, good morning, I had a great one. Hope you did too

Beep
📲I did, thank you. Look I was thinking about you and I thought we can hang out today, if you don't mind

Uhm what am I going to say? Do I go? I mean I'm pretty boring and I don't want to be a bore to him.

But what the heck.

📱okay fetch me in an hour 

Hanging out with just a classmate wouldn't kill right?

"uhh mom" I shout.

"yes sweetie"

"I'm going out today, a friend of mine wants us to hang out" I say.
