Jay P.O.V.
"Jay! Hurry up!" my sister called from outside the bathroom.
"Hey just wait 5 more minutes!" I shouted back.
"What are you doing anyways? Oh yeah, your getting ready for your date!" she teased.
"She is not my date! You set this up anyways!" Sometimes, that girl got on my nerves.
After I finished spiking my hair, I came out of the bathroom and into the living room where Rylie was.
"There! You happy now!" I pointed to the bathroom and she ran inside.
About 20 minutes later, she came out all ready to go.
"See, you take all the time in the world too!" I snickered and we walked down to the probe statue where we were going to meet Zoe.
It took about 5 minutes to walk to the probe, and when we got closer, Zoe waved "hi" to us
The only bad part about this is that Rylie was right.
She looked awesome.
I mean, her hair was up in a really cute ponytail and she had a nice spring dress on with pink flats.
Wait. Did I just think cute? What's wrong with me?
"Hi, I'm Zoe." she introduced. She held out her hand so I could shake it.
"Nice to meet you, Zoe." I said shaking her hand.
Jeff's P.O.V.
I left the house early that morning to go to work. There were way too many chairs in the room, and I was going to ask , the principal, if I could remove them.
As I approached the school, I saw a very attractive woman standing in front of the entrance in full body armor and a gun. I don't know why, but I always dig girls in body armor.
When I got closer to the woman, I started to recognize who she really was.
It was Alicia Washington, my ex-wife.
"What are you doing here?" I yelled/questioned her.
At first, she confused. Then, she looked astonished when she found out who I was.
"Wwwww...What are you doing here?" she stammered. "I thought I got away form you forever."
"I thought the same, too." I said sternly. "Do you know how hard it was, lying to them. Telling them that their mom left them."
"DO NOT speak of the kids. They are my only regret."
"Oh, is that it? Cuz I got another one for you-"
"What's going on here?" Mrs. Oxnard interrupted.
"Just family business." I looked at Alicia sternly, then left.
Mrs. Oxnard followed me, and I remembered the reason I came early to the school.
"Oh yeah, , I have to ask you something about the chairs..."
Rylie P.O.V.
"Tag! Your it!" I yelled as a touched Zoe. She turned around pretty quickly and lunged to tag me. I dived away from her as fast as I could, and ran to the probe which was our safe zone.
"You can only stay there for 20 seconds!" she shouted crossing her arms.
"No babysitting!" I told her. "Go find Jay."
She ran off towards the housing units near by, knowing that Jay would be there. Sure enough, Jay came running out from behind the building with Zoe close behind him.
Oh. 20 seconds. Better get out of here. I thought to myself.
I started to run, and I was a little in front of Jay, and Zoe behind him.
Suddenly, I tripped over a rock and fell to the ground.
"Watch out, Rylie!" Jay shouted as he tripped and fell on me.
"Oh no! I can't stop either!" I heard Zoe scream and her weight fell on Jay. They all dog piled on top of me, and after a few seconds, we all laughed hysterically.
"Well," Zoe said as we all stood and dusted off. "since we're done with our game of tag, do you guys want to come over for dinner?"
"Sure, Zoe. That would be great." Jay said happily.
Then we walked to Zoe's house while telling stories along the way.
Jay P.O.V.
When we were just a little bit from Zoe's house, we could hear laughing coming from inside. When Zoe opened the door, she revealed 7 drinking adults, all drunk out of their minds. They were slapping, yelling, screaming and laughing, while the three of us just stood there.
"What are we laughing about?" one woman asked with an English accent.
"I don't know!" another woman, who I recognized as Maddy, said and they all started laughing again.
"Well, this is disturbing." Zoe managed to choke out. "Let's give them some time." Then we left the house, unnoticed.
2 hours later
"I think we could go in now." Zoe said as she stood up and opened her door. We heard no laughter or noise coming from the room. As we entered, we saw 5 people sitting on the couch, having a normal adult conversation. One was on the counter, facing away from us and one was in the kitchen making dinner.
"Hi mom." Zoe said getting the adults attention.
"Hi sweetie, who are your friends?" her mom looked sort of like Zoe, but had a British accent.
"Well, this is Rylie and this is Jay." she explained.
"They can stay, as long as they don't eat as much as Josh." the adults laughed.
"Hey!" Josh protested. He was probably Zoe's brother.
"Hey," the woman at the counter said. "I want to see Zoe's friends."
The woman turned around and her mouth dropped open in sync with mine.
The woman standing in front of me was my mother.
I could hear Rylie starting to cry, and she ran out the door in a flash.
"Rylie wait!" I yelled at her and I ran out of the Shannon home too.
