Well Luke completely ignored me today while we were in our groups. I tried talking to him and asking questions but he just replied with short answers. Then he told Carol he didn't feel good and she let him call home then about 10 minutes later some guy picked him up and he went home. Calum just laughed and told me that I'm totally into him.

But I'm not.

Or am I?

I don't know and I don't really care right now. All I want to do is eat and take a shower then just lay in bed. And maybe text Calum cause he's pretty interesting.

I see Grans car pull up to the high school. I look inside the car and groan, seeing my younger sister, Victoria, sitting in the passenger seat. Tori is probably the most annoying person I know.

I climb in the backseat, hoping Victoria would distract Gran with a bunch of questions so she won't talk to me.

But Gran talks to me anyway.

"So how was it today?" She asks.

"It was okay..." I would tell her about Luke but not with Tori in the car.

"Is Michael moving schools?" Tori asks.

"No" Gran said, looking at me through the rear-view mirror.

"Then why were we at some high school?"

Gran opened her mouth to speak but didn't know what to say. I held my breath hoping she wouldn't tell Victoria. But before Gran could respond, Tori's phone rang.

"Hello?" She says into the phone, smiling before saying, "Amanda!"

I ignore her phony girl talk with this Amanda girl and looked out the window. What if Luke never comes back? Because of me. Then I wont come back. Does that mean I like him? Nah, it just means that I wont come back unless he does.

Which kinda means I like him.

"Shit." I mumbled.

"Did you say something Michael?" Gran asks- being cut off but Tori's annoying shriek.

"He did not! That's so gross."

Gran glares at her, "Tori please get off the phone."

Victoria put her hand over the phone, "Gran, I'm trying to help my friend with a serious issue." She says before putting the phone back to her ear, "I'm back."

Gran rolls her eyes before turning down the street into a small pizza parlor.

"You guys stay here while I go order the pizza." She says.

This was a normal Thursday thing for us. Gran orders pizza, we run errands while the pizza's being made, then we take it home and pig out while watching stupid singing competition shows.

"Michael..." Victoria says, turning to face me.

"What"

"Do you think I'm old enough to date?" She asks.

"It's up to you, not me. If you want my opinion I think being 14 is too young to date." I admit.

I actually lost my virginity when I was 14 and even though I can't stand her, I don't want Tori to.

"I'm almost 15 though..." She reminds me, in a tone as if she was begging.

"Why are you asking me, if you want to date someone then do it."

"I dunno... I guess I just figured since I don't have a mum or dad to ask, you're the closest thing." She shrugs.

I stare at her for a second, thinking about what she said.

"You know what never mind that was dumb... just- never mind."

"No-" I say, "I think if you're ready to date someone then do... but don't just date someone who'll get some of what he wants then leave."

She wrinkles her nose but nods before turning back around.
