Kat p.o.v

I thought of returning Ryan's jersey today, but he was a no show in school. I searched everywhere but I couldn't find him. Even his friends were a no show too. I had a huge headache since morning. Couldn't sleep! Nightmares again. All in all a really bad day. I can't wait for the day to end.

The school ends, finally. Anne drives me home. We walk-she walks I limp-towards my porch. Anne insists on coming along no matter what I say. I reach inside my jeans for the key. I can't find it, I search all my pockets and my bag. Still can't find it.

"Damn moon cheese! I think I left my key inside." I say.

"What? You mean we are locked out!" She asks.

"No shit, Sherlock!" I say, sarcastically.

"This is not the right time to be sarcastic, Kat." She says.

"I know!"

"What are we gonna do?" She asks me.

"How on earth would I know?" I retort.

"Hey girls, what are you doing outside?" Moms voice asks. We turn around and find my mom carrying groceries in the driveway.

"Mom? What are you doing here?" I ask her.

"I'll tell you, but first come and help me with this grocery." Mom instructs. Me and Anne help mom with the groceries.

"Thank god your here Rita! Your daughter had us locked out." Anne says.

"Hey! I didn't do it on purpose." I defend.

"I knew we should have had you checked when your dad dropped you." Mom says shaking her head dramatically, while opening the door. We all head towards the kitchen.

"Hey! I'm absolutely fine." I claim, pouting.

"Whatever makes your bed honey." Mom says. We all put the groceries down.

"Why are you here so early?" I ask her, trying my best to change the topic.

"Oh, yes. The Rider's have invited us over for dinner tonight, so make sure to dress nicely." My mom says. My overdramatic mother say what?

"What? Why?" I ask her, in a state of shock.

"To introduce us to neighborhood or something. Go get ready now. And Annie dear your welcome to join us if you like." My mom says, inviting Anne.

"Oh! No I shou..."

"Well of course mom, she'll join us." I interrupt her.

"No, what I meant wa...."

"Come now Annie we should be getting ready now." I say, dragging her upstairs with me. I push her inside my room.

"Why did you do that?" Anne asks me.

"Because I need you there with me. You can't send me there all alone. Ryan's going to be there." I answer.

"Yes. That's why your mom's coming with you." Anne retorts.

"You know what I mean." I say. "Please Annie, come with me. Please pretty please with whipped cheese and cherry on top." I give her my puppy dog eyes.
