It was weird seeing Derek, I mean wow! He looked different, nice, but he was all dressed up like he was trying to impress someone. But honestly I didn't mind. its not like peter and i are official yet. I think... I don’t think I have really told my grandmother that peter and I are...whatever we are
Gma: You guys know each other?
Me: Um yeah we met today in town
Derek: Yeah ha ha
Dametra: Well what a small world, I'm sorry, I am Dametra an old friend of your moms
---
I shook her hand and smiled. i was surprised to meet a friend of my moms. she looked at me and studied my face expressions.
---
Me: Nice to meet you
---
We started eating dinner and talked about normal things, life, friends, interests
---
Dametra: So what about the teenagers are they still throwing parties
Me: Um well yeah I guess, but i never go its not really my crowd
Dametra: Well good, parties are for young minded fools who only care about drugs and alcohol.
---
There was a pause and i was curious why she brought this up.
---
Dametra: And they are dangerous
Me: What do u mean dangerous
Dametra: Well things that happen there can impact your life
Gma: Oh yes, like getting pregnant, remember kids, safe sex latex,
Me: Oh god grams, not now
---
We all laughed. Dametra seemed weird about something, but maybe she was just trying to get a point across, or maybe she knew about my mom at the party where she got powers.
At the end of our dinner me and Derek were stuck doing dishes, we washed and dried and soon we were done and in silence.
---
Derek: So, this isn't weird right?
Me: I mean no, well... kinda I guess
Me: So r u looking forward to school tomorrow?
Derek: Yea kinda, hoping to meet some other pretty girl who doesn't have a boyfriend
---
I giggled as an instinct but didn't mean anything by it.
---
Me: Well i will gladly introduce you to my friends who are single...just find us at lunch
Derek: I'm looking forward to it
---
The doorbell rang.
---
Me: Hey hold on a sec I will be right back
---
I walked to the door and saw peter, he looked worried and in a hurry
Me: Hey what's up
Peter: You didn't answer your phone
Me: Oh it was off, we have company, come in
Peter: Who is here-
Derek: Hi
Peter: Um... hi.
Derek: I'm Derek, you must be the boyfriend?
Peter: Boyfriend?...I guess
