• We made out for a long time. But it felt so fast. Before I knew it I heard the clock in the dinning room going off. I pulled back my lips feeling swollen.

    “What time is it?” I asked panic in my voice. Zane jumped off of me and looked at the time. “3:00!” he said. I jumped up.

    “Damn-it! My mom is going to be home any minute now and look at this?!” the coffee table was a mess with junk food and chips. The couch was a mess too. If she saw this she’ll know we skipped. Zane looked me in the eyes and knew the same thing. We quickly grabbed all the junk food and put it away. Then cleaned the table and put the melted ice cream away. I folded all the blankets and laid them on the couch neatly. I turned back to Zane with a sigh. “OK done.” At that we heard a car pull in. Zane and I ran to the window to see my mom getting out of her car. “Um,” I thought for a moment. “Up stairs!” I yelled and we both ran up. I slammed my door just as the front door opened. I grabbed my Algebra book and we jumped onto the bed.

    “Olivia?” Mom came into the room.

    “So if you do this and divide—oh hey mom” I said looking up. Zane smiled up at her.

    “You guys are home early.”

    “Um, school let out a little early for the play,” she nodded.

    “Oh ok what play is it?” my mouth opened a little.

    “Um….Hamlet!” I said. She smiled.

    “Oh I love that book! Maybe we could go see it—“

    “No!” I yelled. She jumped and frowned. “I mean….you can’t. Its just this play is only for…um…for the parents of the kids!” she nodded.

    “Ok fine. Zane are you staying for supper?” she asked.

    “Actually I should probably head home soon” he said sounding a little worried.

    “Oh ok, well come say bye before you leave.” mom left the room and I sighed and threw my book back on the ground.

    “That was close,” Zane laughed.

    “Well Princess not like this wasn’t fun but I think my mom is probably really worried about me right now. I turned off my cell so she probably called like a million times.” I nodded. I bit at my lip.

    “Do you think you’ll be ok?” I whispered. He sighed and looked at me.

    “I’m not sure. I guess we’ll see.” I frowned.

    “Maybe you should stay here. I mean we’re going back to your house tomorrow evening anyhow.” he smiled sadly at me.

    “I really need to go home, Olivia.” I nodded and looked up.

    “Just call when you get back ok?” he grinned.

    “Worried about me?” I blushed a little.

    “A little,” he smiled. It was sweet.

    “I’ll be fine.” He said. He kissed my hair and stood up. “I’ll call you tonight.” he confirmed as he grabbed his bag. I waved as he left my room. I heard his car start up noisily then drive away. I really hoped he’d be alright. Maybe Scott decided to leave for good. I sighed. I blushed a little as I remember us on the couch.

    A little while later I heard my phone going off. I grabbed it out of my jeans and answered it. “Olivia hey,” Zane said sweetly.

    “Hey,” I smiled.

    “I have some good news.”

    “Yeah?” I asked. He lowered his voice.

    “Scott isn’t coming tomorrow. I think my mom said he was busy.” I sighed. Relief washing over me.

    “Good.” then a thought occurred to me. “Did he…” I trailed off not wanting to say it. Zane knew what I was talking about.

    “No, he only stayed a little when I came back but he left and didn’t say a word to me.” I nodded to myself. Good he didn’t hurt him. “Well I better hit the hay I’m beat!” I laughed.

    “From stuffing your face with ice cream?” I asked. He chuckled.

    “No! What are you talking about? We were workin’ our brains out at school, remember?” I laughed.

    “Yeah, I remember,”

    “Night Olivia,” he whispered. I lay down in bed and smiled.

    “Night.” I hung up and breathed in a breath. Maybe this wouldn’t turn out bad after all. But then maybe it would.
