"Hey dad! I'm home!" I shouted as I slammed the front door closed. No reply came so I continued walking through the house and into the lounge where you could always find him lounging. But today was different. He was sitting with some woman and a boy who looked my age.

"Great, you're here! Come sit down sweetheart. We were just talking about how much of a princess you are!" Dad smiled widely and I silently slipped into the chair furthest away from everyone. I secretly took out my phone and started playing games to distract myself yet still listened to the conversation.

"This is Miss Baker and her son, Adam. They just moved in next door and I've invited them around to dinner tonight," Dad introduced," This is Maxine, my wonderful daughter who's in the Teen Bluebonnet pageant." A soft snicker came from the boy, Adam, and my eyes connected with his before sneering back at him.

"Guess what Maxine, Adam's going to your school so you can show him around and help him out. I'm sure you two will be great friends, much better than that girl you brought around a few days ago. She was definitely gay or something," Dad frowned and I immediately sprung to my feet.

"And what's wrong if she is? I don't see how it's your problem!"

"Because she could influence you to think abnormal thoughts and I can't have my beautiful girl like girls," Dad explained and I just stormed out the room and ran to my own.

As I fell onto the bed I took out my phone and scrolled through my phone contacts. As soon as I saw her name, I called Hannah.

Calling Han💞...

"Hey Maxie, how are yo-? Are you crying? What the hell has happened?"

"My dad happened."

"What the hell did he say to you?"

"Just about him thinking your gay and could influence me somehow."

"Bullshit!"
"What about instead of hanging around your dad tonight I take you out on an official first date?"

"I could use getting out of this stuffy house. What time?"

"Eight. Is that okay?"

"Yeah, that'll be fine but I might need to sneak out if my dad doesn't let me."

"I'm sure we'll find a way. Wear something simple but warm cause it's meant to be a cold night, even though we're in Texas."

"Sure, I'll see you then I guess."

"Yep, see you later babe."

Call ended with Han💞

I put my phone down and sighed loudly. Dad definitely wouldn't let me out the house but the amount of times I had sneaked out gave me a bit more comfort. Instead, I was actually really excited. We hadn't been on a date yet and I was happy we could before the pageant.
