Me: "Adam!"

I jumped out of the car and over to my best friend, jumping into his arms.

Adam: "Hey Peyton! I missed you! You haven't been over for the past month! Why?"

Me: "Ask mom."

He put me down as my mom walked over, smiling.

Mom: "Hey Adam's Apple."

I started laughing.

Adam: "Kaitlyn Lynn Benz!"

Mom's smile faded quickly.

Mom: "Never in a million years call me that."

I walked up the stairs to Adam's apartment laughing as they continued fighting over the names the whole way up the stairs. Once we got to the door, I turned to them.

Me: "Okay, guys. Enough with the name thing. Adam, don't call mom by her full name. And mom, "Adam's Apple" is no longer Adam's nickname."

Adam: "Ha!"

He pointed a finger at mom, and we walked into the apartment.

Adam: "You guys hungry?"

Mom: "No thanks. We ate on the way. We brought you a burger."

She threw him the Big Mac from Mickey D's and he caught it with no problem.

Adam: "Thanks."

He unwrapped the burger and started eating it.

Adam: "So are we still going to the lake for the Fourth of July?"

Mom: "Hell yeah. But we still haven't figured out the time we're suppose to be there."

Adam: "Well, we could meet around 7:30."

Mom: "Alright. But I have to run by my mom's before we get there?"

I spun around to her.

Me: "What?"

Mom: "Yep. Grandma wants to see us before we go."

Me: "Mom, I don't want to go. Everytime I'm there, she tries to shove food down my throat. And I'm eating enough everyday."

Adam: "How about this? Peyton and I will go to the lake, and you can meet us there."

Mom: "What if I'm not there in time? My mom runs her mouth like there's no tomorrow."

Adam: "By the time you get there, I'm sure the fireworks will be starting, so you don't have to wait half an hour like we do."

Mom turned to me.

Mom: "Is that okay with you?"

I nodded my head quickly. No way was I going to Grammy's. I love her and everything, but she just talks and talks and talks.

Adam: "Its a plan. Peyton and I'll wait for you, and we'll have some fun when you get there."

Little did I know, that tomorrow wasn't going to be fun. At least for my mom, Adam and I.

So what did you guys think? Good? Bad? Should I continue? Or forget about this and delete it? Review and tell me what you think!
