Well, lets just say my life has been crazy. I now have a boyfriend but we weren't always friends. We had a little "argument" while we were friends but it was just a misunderstanding. Let's go back to when we were still ignoring each other.

Me (Lea) and Parker (my now boyfriend) went to the first floor in the place that had the couches and stuff. It was after school and we were waiting for our dads who were teachers at school. They were in a meeting in a nearby room.

"Can we at least talk things out?" I asked Parker in an annoyed tone.

"Fine" grumbled Parker

I was shivering since I forgot my jacket at my dad's office this morning. He unselfishly noticed and took his jacket off. He put it around me.

"Thanks" I whispered

"No problem" replied Parker

I sniffed it and told him it smelled like him. The jacket said his last name on it on the back. It was blue and written in white was "FITZGERALD". He had a slight smile on his face. We lived 4 houses down from each other. We started to talk everything out and finally understood both sides to the story. It felt good to talk to him. I kinda missed our talks and when he would ask for help in class and make me laugh in history when people were presenting.

I yawned

"Lay down and put your head on my leg." ordered Parker

It felt weird cause this was coming from the guy who was ignoring me for more than 6 months. I did as I was told and he started to play with my hair. It was nice and soothing and very relaxing. He looked deep into my eyes and I did too. I sat up and he pulled me closer to him. We were so close now that I could feel  him breathing on me. He then leaned in closer and kissed me. I felt like I was dreaming. The kiss lasted for about 10 secs.

We had an "argument" because of a misunderstanding when I told him something. I even told him I liked him a while before that and we were chill and friends till the misunderstanding. He whispered into my ear "I like you too". My heart began to flutter and I was caught in some sort of trance but that was broken when our phones rang cause our dads were calling us.

We had to go to the parking lot and meet our dads there.

"Oh Lea, I got your jacket from my office. Wait, if I have your jacket, who's are you wearing?" wondered my dad, Weston Macintosh.

"Parker's." I claimed. Mine said "Macintosh" on the back.

I started to take the jacket off and give it to him but he stopped me

"Keep it. I'll come get tomorrow or something." Parker insisted

I smiled and my heart fluttered more. Do I really like Parker Fitzgerald? Well, I told him that like 7 months ago but I lost interest in him a while back.

My dad and I had a really "good" talk in the car on our way home. You see Mr. Fitzgerald (Parker's dad) and my dad worked at Apple together and that's how they met. It was before Parker and I were born though. Every now and then they would go help them with problems and in return they would get the newest products whenever they came out for free. Which meant, yes, we would get free products but our parents tracked us with Your Life360 and a bunch of other stuff which recorded us and all of our texts and phone calls and social media and stuff. So much for being stalkerish.

Anyway, back to the talk, even though my dad was in a meeting he still watched us on his Apple Watch. He asked me what happened cause one second we were ignoring each other and the next we were kissing.

This was kinda weird cause it was always my mom who I talked to about this or my sister. My mom died 2 years ago and my sister Ava was out with her friends. She is in 12th grade and I'm in 10th.
