My body feels numb, used and defeated. I don't know why or how I got this way but I think I'm going to be stuck here for a while. "Jo! Dinner's ready!" My Mom calls out, I groan, flipping onto my side.

"Not hungry!" I groan a little louder than my normal voice.

"Get down here now! We have some important news!" She shouts back, I sigh, slowly getting out of bed, looking in the mirror, I'm a wreck, my hair is in knots, my eyes look tired with bags underneath them. I'm wearing a gray sweat shirt, red sweat pants and black converse. My hair is in a bun on the top of my head, still damp from the pool party. I shuffle downstairs slowly, when I reach the dining table I realise the rest of my family are dressed up, my sister pulls a disgusted face at me.

"I hadn't realised I needed to dress up." I sigh, sitting down next to Cherry and Andy. Cherry's in a white wrap dress with a diamante belt and black high heeled sandals, my Mom's in a dress to, hers is more structured and red with a collar and shoulder pads.

"Cherry, go get you're sister dressed please, there on their way now and it will look bad if she's not dressed up." I sigh; it must be some big important boss coming to dinner so my Mom will get the promotion or wont, depending on how we all act.

Cherry drags me up the stairs to her closet, picking out a one shoulder blue dress with black monster heeled ankle boots. I change in front of her quickly; she's my sister- I don't suppose she cares if she see's my stomach. "Who's coming to dinner?" I ask as we walk down the stairs.

"Mr. And Mrs. Knight along with Katie and Kendall, Mom's doing business with Mr. Knight so if we behave she'll make the deal and we might actually get our own cars."

"I don't get why we have to dress up though, they have known the family for years." I state, she nods, ruffling up her hair.

"Take your hair out of the bun." I do as she says and she runs her fingers through it, making it look a little better, it's still damp but it looks good, like beach waves. "Yeah but that's the friends side, this is business." I nod, understanding almost.

"Can someone get the door please!" My Mom shouts, Cherry points to me, I groan going towards the brown and glass door, swinging it open and plastering a fake smile on my face that says 'welcome to my home, please do the deal with my Mom! I need a car.'

"Hey Mr. and Mrs. Knight." I smile. "Katie, Kendall." I nod at them, they smile back, why'd he have to come over tonight.

"Hello Jo, you look beautiful tonight." I blush a little, I never get called beautiful. "Doesn't she Kendall." Mrs. Knight says. He nods biting his lip- making me blush even more.

"I love you're dress Katie!" I grin, staring at her beige love stone pleated waist dress and red peep toe wedges, she looks stunning and all so innocent, the perfect daughter.

"Thanks, yours too." She looks at me slightly coldly.

"Shall we go through to the dining room?" I offer, leading the way, I sit down, realising Andy has moved over to where Katie would be sitting opposite us, leaving a space for Kendall.

"I'm sorry." He mimes at me not letting anyone else catch him, I sigh and ignore him, how was I going to get through an whole evening acting like there is nothing going on?

I had to ignore the occasional glare Katie would be throwing me, what was up with her tonight? I shrugged it off and went back to thinking about Kendall. It seemed everyone was making conversation except me; I just sat there silently waiting until I could excuse myself from the table.

My mother was talking to Mrs. Knight and Mr. Knight and Cherry seemed to be real interested in something Katie was telling her, which left me glancing over at the hot Mr. Knight… my teacher.

"Jo?" My mother asked, I snapped my neck up and looked at her, had I been caught staring?

"Yes?" I asked.

"Could you please clear the table?" she asked with a smile on her face, I cleared my throat and nodded.

"Yeah sure I can" I told her rising from the table and collecting everybody's plates.

"I will help her" Kendall spoke quickly, I looked over at him and he smiled and rose from the table.

"Oh no Kendall it is fine you are a guest" My mother told him.

"He doesn't mind dear Kendall likes to help people it's what makes him such a good teacher" Mrs. Knight said, Kendall smiled and continued to help me.

"Thanks" I mumbled as he followed me into the kitchen. The plates were filled into to the dish washer and set to clean. I sighed and turned to Kendall who was lent against the closed door of the kitchen.

"So" He spoke with a smug smile on his face, I rolled my eyes.

"Why did you have to come tonight!" I whisper shouted at him.

"It's great to see you too" He stated sarcastically.

"Kendall, I have been thinking about us" I told him he smiled and grabbed me hand.

"What a coincidence me too" he said pulling me closer to his body, I rolled my eyes and pushed him away.

"And if we did decide to be together then we would have to be so careful" I told him he nodded and smiled.

"I can be careful the question is can you?" he asked folding his arms; I frowned at the taller blonde.

"What? Kendall, I can so be careful I am the one talking to you about this" I told him.

"Oh really? Because I do recall at that dinner table you could not take your eyes of me" Kendall said taking a step forward leaving hardly any space between us.

"You are so full of yourself" I mumbled he smiled and wrapped his arms around me.

"But I am right" he whispered I smiled.

"Maybe" I whispered he smiled and kissed my forehead. I grabbed his tie and pulled him down letting out lips meet; Kendall's arms tightened around me and deepened the kiss. I pulled away and smiled at him; he stepped back and cleared his throat.

"So yeah if you rewrite that essay I am sure you could get an A on it" He told me I frowned at him.

"What?" I asked he looked behind me and smiled. I frowned and turned around seeing his little sister Katie stood watching us with crossed arms. "Oh hi Katie" I said innocently trying my best not to faint… please tell me she did not just see that.
