“What happened?” She said.
“My mom happened.” I said.
“She did that to you?!”
“Well, she bit, I snapped back.”
“Garret! Is it because of me?”
“Like I said, she doesn’t like you.” I said, and kissed her quickly. “You’re worth it.” I said.
“I’m not liking this.” She said.
“Neither am I.” I said. “Besides, I’ve liked you since freshman year, and I know that neither of us is going to give up. I’m going to move out when I am eighteen anyway.”
“You are!?” Macy said. “How are you going to afford that?”
“Nate, Mike and I are going to rent a place together.” I said, referring to my friends who happened to be identical twins. “All of us have jobs that pay pretty well, and we all are working for scholarships, so we’ll split the bills and work our way through college.”
“You have it all planned out don’t you?” Macy smiled.
“Yeah, I guess so.”
“Garret! I suppose since you have enough time to talk in class, you will have enough time to serve detention on Friday!” The teacher called across the room.
God dammit!
