He stands there for a second with his beg over his shoulder. He was clearly ready to leave. As he hung up he said.
"I forgot to do my chores so I'm kinda in trouble"
I was a little confused on why his mom needed him to do it now. She could have waited. He probably did something else and was covering up for it. But why was he crying? Maybe I didn't see it clearly. He never cries.
We both drive to his house. Ive never seen Grayson look so nervous as he got out of the car.
"I'll see you later"
"Yeah...maybe"
His mother walks out in an angry motion. She looks over at me. Her face turned to happy in a blink of an eye. Grayson's mother waved. I drove off. I kept thinking. Maybe? Why maybe? Then I thought. Grayson is always thinking things like that. He always thinks, does, and says things like they will be the last things he does. Well not always but sometimes. It was just what he does. But still. This time seemed different.
I was pulling up to my driveway when I get a text. It was from Cristy.
Cristy:"hey we're going to go to the mall tomorrow after school for girls day do you want to come?"
Me:"yeah I'll come"
I turn off my car and get out. As I am doing so my mom walks up to me.
"Hey honey go get ready"
"Why"
"You me and Tom are going out for dinner tonight"
I. WAS. SHOOKETH. I thought moms could read minds. I did not want to go. At all.
"What!?"
She puts her hands on my shoulders.
"I think it would be a good bonding experience for you two, he doesn't know you very well and he might be around more often now that you two have met"
She looked into my eyes. This was something she really wanted. I would feel bad if I didn't do it. I rolled my eyes.
"Fine, but if he wants to know me he has to know the real me"
Mom took her hands off my shoulders.
"Ok...but you know... just turn it down a little bit,he's new at this"
"K bye"
Well this sucks. I headed upstairs to my room to pick out the outfit.

Trust me. Not trying to impress anyone. It was the best formal looking outfit I could find. The other ones were either dirty or being borrowed. Walking downstairs I realized Tome was already here to pick us up. Me and mom get in his car and we go to the restaurant.
"Sooooo what restaurant are we going to"
Tom and mom look at each other. Then look at me.
"Somewhere nice"
I rolled my eyes. Great. It was supposed to be a surprise. I hated surprises with a burning passion.
We got to the restaurant. It wasn't any restaurant. It was "masa". THE MOST expensive restaurant in the United States. My mind was blown.
"What!?"
My mom laughed.
"Yeah we wanted it to be special"
"But we can afford this!"
Tom looked at me.
"I wanted to treat you guys"
"To the most expensive restaurant in America?"
"Well..yeah"
What does this guy do anyway. What job can pay that much.
"What do you do for a living Tom?"
"Oh I work as a designer"
Ok then Mr.rich.
We walk into the restaurant. It was ginormous. The chandelier was bigger than my house. The tables were neatly set. Everything looked amazing. We sat down. The waiter came to us with some menus. I decided to take a look. There were so many options. I just wanted to go with the pasta. Mom went with the wonton soup. Tom got some sushi.
We talked for a while before the food came out. The portion sizes were so small. I basically ate it in one bite. It was good though. Tom basically talked the entire time. He had all these pretty boring stories. He mostly talked about how easy it is to design things. Or he would complain about how these days kids are addicted to technology. I was bored. Mom seemed to enjoy his stories and that's all that matters. I'm probably going to move out soon and she will need someone. That means she has to be happy.
After what felt like an hour, we finally got the bill and left. We stepped into Ferrari F60 and drove home. We said goodbye soon after. I walked into my house. Mom stopped me.
"So...what did you think of Tom?"
I turned around to look at her. She was definitely hoping for something positive to come out of my mouth. I didn't want that to happen. But her face was so hopeful.
"He's..great" I lied.
She smiled.
"Great"
I got to my room. I was starving. There was barely any food on my plate. The restaurant was so expensive yet it acted so cheep. I had to go eat something. Right then I got a call. It was from Grayson. I picked up the phone.
"Hey Belle"
"Hey Grayson I'm hungry do you wanna stop by Taco Bell?"
"Uhh yeah I gotta tell you something"
"Umm ok see you there"
"Ok bye"
He hung up. Well that call was kinda weird...
