Calum sits down next to me , for his sake , I try to hide I'm nervous . Because I get bubbles in my stomach. We're at the Ice cream parlor with his friends , if my mom hadn't been there when he asked me I would have lied about being busy or something . "So ......." Calums friend says trying hard to break the silence . "What flavor of ice cream did get ?"I ask calmly "Chocolate , cause it looks like poop " says another one of Calums friends laughing hard . Calum knows they blew it , I'm not hanging out with these immature jerks and I have a reason to walk home . I look down at my half eaten ice cream cone , I can't go now I have to wait .

I walk silently beside Calum , his friends are next to him , laughing about some stupid joke . It turns out I did stay at the parlor as long as the other boys . I see my house just ahead , can I last that long ? How am I going to last at this new school ? Surely that's not where these boys go . What if they do go there , am I going to lose my temper again ? "Natalie .....we're at your house " . " Oh sorry , I was spacing out " I say as I mount the stairs to my front porch.
