|Nadine Ackerman|

Once I got home I went straight to my room. My parents weren't home so I just blasted music and went on social media. I saw pictures of my old friends. Having fun without her...

I went off the app and turned the music up louder. I drowned my self in the lyrics and beats until I fell asleep.

"Nadine?!" I groaned trying to stay asleep. "Nadine?!" I heard the voice and I felt my body shake. I opened my eyes a little. My dad stood stood me.

"Wha-what?" I asked, groggily. He sighed before showing me the time. 7:00. I cursed as I got up. I had a game today and no one was calling me to see why I wasn't there? You would think.

As I haphazardly threw on my jersey, my dad grabbed me to stabilize me.

"Nadine, ill call coach and tell her you weren't feeling good." He signed. I let out a breath before apologizing.

"Where's Dad numero dos?" I asked. He pointed towards the kitchen before walking out of my room. I saw Ben, dad number 2, cooking dinner. I was expecting take out or something. He only really cooks cooks when people are coming over.

"Nadine, can you put on something nice. My friend is bring her family by for dinner." He answered my thoughts and I looked at what I was wearing. Team Jersey and sweatpants. Love that for us. I trudged back upstairs before changing into something nice.

I put in a little makeup, not much though. I turned to look in the mirror. I had some black jeans and a green long sleeve on that I had tucked the front in to make it look more sophisticated. I had some black booties on and my hair was in a low ponytail.

"Nadine they're here," Ryan, Dad Numero Uno, said as he peeked through my door. Oh yea my dads are gay, if you didn't catch onto that yet.

    I walked downtown he stairs and I didn't stop when I heard the voices. I ignored the anxiety building up in my stomach and bit the side of my cheek. My phone was in my clammy hands. I get very anxious around new people. The few strands that were pulled out from my hair got in my vision. I looked down as I heard the voices getting closer.

     "Quinn this is our daughter, Nadine, she's 16 almost 17." I looked up and spotted very blue eyes. She was very pretty. I smiled at the lady and she smiled back. She gave off a good vibe.

    "Hello, it's nice to meet you." She greeted and turned towards my dads.

    "It's nice to meet you too." I said back. After talking Sam told me that her kids were in the living room if I wanted to be around some kids. I nodded and walked toward the living room.

    "Osta! Stop!" I heard a little girls voice. She sounded like she was pouting.

    "Cleo stop pulling my damn hair!" A male voice came through. The voice sounded familiar but I could quite place it. I walked around the corner and before I made myself present I took out my phone and snapped a picture. I couldn't keep my laughs in any longer.

    "Acosta? What are you doing?" I laughed as I saw the boy sitting in the flimsy pink chair.

"It's princess Osta!" I laughed harder at the little girl. I took in Acosta and saw he had fake clip on earrings and a little girl was right next to him. She wore the biggest smile. Acosta looked shocked before standing up and taking his hair out of the ponytail. I giggled as he got up and the chair flipped.

    "What are you doing here?" He asked.

    "This is my house," I stated. "And here," I removed the clip on earrings for him. He was blushing like crazy. I pinched his cheeks like he did the other day to me.

    "Oooohhh you're the daughter," I nodded to his realization.

    "So you're Quinn's son?" He nodded his head as we both sat on the couch. Cleo, Acosta's little sister, was playing with my old barbies In the corner.

    "Hey kids the food is ready," Ben peaked in. I got up and everyone followed me. The kitchen was set up and Quinn and Ben were submerged into a conversation that Sam joined in.

"Goodbye," Sam shout the door and sighed as the guest walked out. Acosta and his family were gone. The dinner wasn't bad, Quinn kept suggesting that Acosta and I started dating and we both declined. I mean yea he's hot, but I don't think I'd fit in with his friends and he can be really infuriating.

"Ben and I are going to head to bed sweetie. Well pick this up tomorrow. You go to bed as well." They both kissed me in the top of my head before heading to bed.

I grabbed a glass of cold water before heading upstairs. I changed from the nice clothes I had on to some sweat pants and an oversized band shirt.

I did my skin routine before getting into bed. I laid there for a good twenty minutes just listening to music.

My phone went silent for a couple minutes, causing me to look at the notification.
