"So, how do you like it there, Melody?" my mother asked me on the phone.

I shrugged even though she couldn't see me. "I really like it. I've made amazing friends, and the best friend I could ask for."

"Any boys?" I could already picture my mother wiggling her eyebrows.

"I dunno, there is one..." I trailed off, a smile growing on my face.

"Tell me about him!"

"He's really nice and he's funny. He's always so supportive and comforting," I gushed.

My mom laughed. "Marry him already!"

I sighed. "I wish I could, Ma. He just wants to be friends."

I could hear her sigh on the other end. "Just friends?"

"Best friends," I corrected.

I started thinking about that night. The night where Ashton kissed me. That night was always on my mind. The way he confused me.

"Ah, so he's the best friend," Mom said.

"Uh huh. He's amazing," I smiled thinking about him.

"Is he cute?" she asked.

I nodded. "Oh for sure! He's cute, attractive, beautiful, pretty, I could go on forever. He's like every good adjective."

I could hear my dad's voice faintly in the background. "Lori!"

My mom groaned. "Well, I would love to talk to you longer, Melody. But, your father's calling me. Send me a picture of that boy! What's his name?"

"Ashton," I confirmed.

"Aw, cute. Well, talk to you later honey! Bye!"

"Bye mom!" I hung up the phone and flopped backwards on my bed.

I began my search for a perfect picture to send to my mom.

I sent a picture of when he was laughing next to me in my car. It was one of my favorites.

Right as I sent the picture, I got a text message.

It was from Jonas.

Jonas was a jerk, and I really didn't want to take part in any conversation with him.
