"But I thought you said you had a lot of reading reports to grade?"

"Oh well I did, but I finished them while you were at HVCC earlier."

"Well, sounds good to me! What should I get, the spicy tuna or a California roll? Hmm, I think I might get a veggie roll and get some edamame on the side."

"Whatever floats your boat, peanut." She's hiding something, I can tell.

"Mom, is there something you want to tell me?"

"Okay! We're going to Paris in two months for Fashion Week!" She shrieked.

"Ohmygawd! No way! I have to call and tell Lissa! She's going to freak!" I pulled out my enV2 from my pocket and hit speed dial number two faster than Paris Hilton could say 'that's hot' to a new pair of boots. As usual, she answered on the first ring. "Ohemgee! Lissa, guess where I'm going in two months!"

"Hmm, where?"

"Paris for Fashion Week with my mom!"

"Ahhhhhhhhh! Ohmygosh! No way!"

"Yeah I know!"

"You totally have to take a ton of new pictures and get an autograph from one of the famous designers!"

"Haha, woah. Don't get ahead of yourself, little missy. I don't even think that it's possible."

"Haha, okay mother."

"Anyway, what's up?" Lissa has lunch a different period then me, and I don't have any classes with her except chorus which is every other day. So I don't think she knows about me and Josh. This is sort of a good thing because this is not something that I want going around school.

"Painting my nails. Watermelon Bliss is the color of the week. Oh, by the way, make sure you wear your cute brown tank top with the Spanish ruffles tomorrow."

"Okay. I'll be sure to do that." I'm beginning to get impatient. "So any new gossip…?"

"No, nothing. Our school is as dull as Mr. Kramer. "

"You're serious? You really don't know, do you?"

"Know what?"

"Well, I sort of broke up with Josh. I totally regret it, but I don't know. It's really complicated."

"Oh no! Why? He liked you a lot, and you liked him."

"Yeah I know, but he was too clingy and obsessive, and you know I hate that. It's sort of how it was between Chloe and Brandon last year, if you know what I mean."

"Mmm, honey. Hate to break up your conversation, but we've been sitting in the restaurant parking lot for five minutes, and I'm starving." She said this as she rubbed her tiny tummy.

"Lissa, I gotta go, my moms really hungry."

"Okay, call me later, kay?"

"Okay, bye." I hung up my cell and looked into the side view mirror. This mugginess is killing my hair.

"Alright, can we go now?" I swear, sometimes I think she's the kid.

"Ugh, okay mother. I guess you don't want to hear something very life changing."

"Oooh! Tell me! Tell me now!"

"Psh, I thought you were starving?"

"Oh, I see how it is."

"Yeah mom, grab your purse and let's go." I opened the door and felt a sudden burst of pain. "Yowzahs! Ow! That hurt! Oi!" Ouch, that's really going to leave a mark.

"Oh geeze, Katie! Are you okay?!"

"Oh yeah. Just peachy." It's not the first time I left my sunglasses on the top of my head and then bumped my head getting out of my moms BMW.
