I hear a honk outside of my bedroom window, so i go to investigate. I see Cody in the passenger seat of a cherry red jeep with no doors, his mom must be honking at some other house. He's so cool. I have only seen him around school, East Middle School. Our school is known for all of the people who hoe around. I know Cody is probably one of them, he kissed a girl i hate named jen at the fall dance. As i am looking out of my window, i see my dad run out of our house to their car? Why is he going to cody's car?! He opens the door for cody's mom and they ominously approach the house. I see Cody's mom give my dad a kiss and Cody makes his disgusted face, i am also shocked.
I know cody is in my house and i'm freaking out. i am never leaving my room it would be so awkward if i see him. he definitely doesn't know who i am. i hear a knock on my door, it's my dad.
"Come down for dinner! You can meet my new girlfriend! Her son is here too, he is your age. You can talk to him. They will be spending the night here tomorrow night so you should meet them now before then."
"WHAT? Since when did i say it was okay for people to stay in our house?! and i'm not hungry."
"You are not getting out of this that easily Lisa."
I hate when my dad talks to me as if i'm a five year old.
"I will drag you out of there myself if i have to."
I know i'm not going to get anywhere with rebelling against this so i open my door and timidly follow my dad downstairs.
"Sarah, this is my daughter, Lisa. Lisa, this is my girlfriend Sarah and her son Cody," my dad introduces us all.
"Oh Matt, it's great to meet your daughter. Cody, why don't you two go talk together while the adults set the table." Wow. Cody's mom seems to treat him the same way my dad treats me.
Cody and I walk over to the couch and it's so awkward. Luckily, he starts the conversation, he must be more confident than i am.
"Hey, don't you go to East Middle?"
"Yeah we have Math 6 together I think." My heart is beating so fast and i can tell my face is red.
"Oh yeah, that class sucks so bad." he laughs, which sort of helps me feel better.
"Were you at the dance?" Oh god. i didn't mean to bring that up. fuck fuck fuck.
"Yeah i was, i went with Jen, do you know her or something?"
"Uhhhhh yeah. She's sort of cool i guess."
"Hmmm. I wish i agreed with that."
"What do you mean?"
"She kind of kissed me at the dance... then i found out she kissed noel."
NOEL MILLER?!?!? WHY DID CODY JUST TELL ME A HUGE SECRET ABOUT THE GIRL HE KISSED AND HIS BEST FRIEND?!?!?!
"Seriously, are you okay? I'm so sorry that happened to you." I really do feel bad for him, and it's easy to because he is so hot and he just confessed a bad thing that happened to him to me.
"I wish i wouldn't have gone with her, i knew she had held hands with other guys before and she kinda had a reputation for stuff like this... I just wish Noel wouldn't have kissed her when he knew she was there with me." He looks up at me and i can tell he is still hurt from all of this happening. "I thought he was my best friend"
Just then, his mom calls us into the dining room for dinner.
