    People say love is like fire passionate and ever growing, I like to think about love like the stars one being made for the other and only shining for that star and no other. Except stars die and so does that represent love, does it not last will it end up in flames. I would like my first kiss with the person I love to be under the stars. Except right now that person doesn't feel the same way. And even if he did I don't want a boy who's going to be like 'hey babe lemme see them nudes' like what ever happened to men. Men went from pursuing someone no matter what the obstacles to asking for provocative pictures.

    I remember this one time I was on my phone and I got a friend request on snap, their name was Jason and so I assumed it was my Jason. And so I added them and literally the first message from them I got wasn't a hi but instead do you do nudes and so the next day at school I started punching Jason and he explained it wasn't him after receiving a black eye and a bruised rib. I have never felt worse in my life time I had literally beat up my crush, Jason laughed it off after I explained the situation but I felt a ping of guilt in my chest. I miss those days when everything was so simple and I didn't have as much work to do. . . it's true what they say Highschool sucks. It's only the first week of school and I have two test on Friday about review that we supposedly learned but everyone knows the criteria changes every year and students are just expected to catch up.
   
    I have things to look forward to, like graduation and prom but even then there is so much that could happen until then. In biology class it's only the first day and I have to do a project on evolution and basically we just have to explain why human's evolve at a slower rate than species like bacteria, the answer is pretty simple it's just the research that is hard. Seeing that we have to find credible sources and make sure the evidence is recent enough that it's not old news or even disproven. Lucky for me I have a friend named Lucy that is great with type of stuff. I just need to find where she went . . . the last time I saw her she was looking for Jason for standing me up earlier. I'll explain so remember how Jason blackmailed me into meetijng him for my stuff. Anyways, I guess he forgot and it was raining long story short I was out in the rain for 31 minutes he never showed his face. Since from Arkos to Lucy's house was a ten minute walk so I walked through the rain and to Lucy's house or should I call it Scorpio's and Aquarius's house because that's where Lucy is living but then again I'm still going to call it Lucy's house. The whole way there I denied phone calls from my Dad, like he actually thinks I want to talk to him after what I saw. I can't get the image out my head. . . my Dad was with another woman and didn't have the balls to tell me that's amazing just amazing.

    Once I made it to Lucy's house the rampage began, Lucy opened the door and literally figured the whole thing out in like ten seconds or so I thought turns out Jason told Natsu and Natsu told her, but raises the question when were they together. I can feel a smirk coming on my lips I was about to ask her when Aquarius appeared next to Lucy. My smirk vanished and was replaced with fear. The thing is Aquarius is terrifying but Scorpio is so calm and nice it was a match made in heaven but sometimes I think Aquarius would look better as a mermaid but that's just me. I wanted to back away and run but before I could Aquarius pulled me into a hug, this was a first. I thought she was about to kill me. . . like when the crazy murderer hugs their victim before killing them but then again Aquarius wouldn't kill me . . . right?

    The real reason why she was hugging me was because she saw me shivering and shaking. Once I got settled in and got some warm clothes which didn't fit me but that makes sense Lucy does have bigger boobs than me by like I think 1 size. Anyways once I was settled in the questions began. . .

"What are you doing here?"

"Why did Jason stand you up?"

"Who is Jason! Is he a boy you like . . . unacceptable!"

"Why are you here?"

  Some of the questions just repeated themselves and after a while I was just standing there waiting for them to stop, but ever to my dismay they didn't. It was about 2 hours until they actually stopped talking but it wasn't that late only 7:45 PM and I wasn't in any rush to go home after what I saw earlier. I could always ask to stay with them for the night but, I don't know if I should. Eventually I am going to have to face my father and the sooner the better.

"Lucy, I think I'm going to head home now."

    I could tell by the questioning look that Lucy gave me that she had some questions but ultimately she knew I was in no mood to answer them.

"I'll call you an Lyft."

"No its..."

"I said I'll call you an Lyft."

     It was at that moment when I realized there was no arguing with her, Lucy had made up her mind and there is no possible way I could change it. 've tried in the past to change Lucy's mind but she's just as stubborn as me if not more. On the ride home all I did was wonder, if that woman would be there and if my father was planning on marrying her and if she was something important to him? But the question I really wanted answer was if she was my mother, now that I think back to her face and her eyes I can see the resemblance between us and if she is my mother than all hell is about to break loose.

   I bid the Uber driver good-bye and thanked him for the ride, and up the steps I made it until I was faced with the familiar white door of my home, I took my key out my pocket and turned the lock only to open the door to a woman, but not just any woman it was her I looked up and uttered the words I never thought I get to say.

   "Mom?"
