Hi everyone. I am so so so sorry for not updating in a long time. My last chapter didn't get any reviews and I was waiting but then I started a new story and had writer's block for this one. Yeah, weird, I know. Anyway, I really hope you like this chapter.

Angela shivered as she entered her house. It started snowing really hard on her way home so she was covered in snow.

After she dried off she went into the kitchen to get an apple and groaned. She just remembered that her parents were coming home early to get ready for a banquet. It had something to do with her parents' jobs. Something that Angela wasn't interested in, so she decided not to go.

/Angela's POV/

Great. Not only am I going to have to explain why I was out so 'late' last night, but now I will have to explain where this bruise came from. That's perfect. Brian Krackow really makes things worse. Wait, and I also have to watch Danielle. Another perfect night for me.

/Normal POV/

Angela heard her parents' car pull into the driveway about an hour later. In a way, Angela was pretty happy. She had finished all of her homework so that was one less thing they could yell at her for. Angela wanted to sneak upstairs unnoticed, but she knew that was never going to happen. Patty and Gram entered the house before she could even stand.

"Hello Angela. How was your day at school?" Patty asked as she sat a few groceries on the table.

Angela gave a simple " fine" as her answer. She kept a book in front of her so they would think she was reading.

"Are you sure you don't want to go to the banquet tonight? It will be fun." Gram asked as he entered the house with the remaining bags of food.

"I'll pass."

"Anyway, Angela, you aren't off the hook yet."

"How did I see this coming?" She asked in a sarcastic way while putting the book down. She knew that she couldn't avoid talking to them now.

"Angela, we aren't trying to make a big deal out of this. We don't want secrets and lies in this house so just tell us who you were with last night and why for that amount of time?" Gram stated.

"Yes honey, just answer the question. Do you have a boyfriend? Or were you with your friends Rayanne and...Ricky was it?

"Yes! Yes, I have a boyfriend. He asked me to be his girlfriend last night and I said yes, okay!" She gave an exasperated sigh when she finished. She wondered if that would get them off her back, but she knew that it would never happen.

"Really Angela? Well... I'm happy for you." Patty said while moving to give Angela a hug. Angela rolled her sleeve down to cover the bruise when she saw her mother coming.

"Well, what is his name? How old is he? Does he make decent grades?" Gram asked, more to himself then he did to Angela.

"Oh, Gram. Cut it out. Angela has a boyfriend. I am so proud of you."

"Enough mom." Angela said while pushing her away. It wasn't that she didn't want a hug, but her mother was irritating her bruise.

"Well I am just trying to be supportive. When can we meet him?" Patty asked while sitting next to Angela on the couch.

"He really isn't into the whole 'meet the parents' thing."

"Well, you tell him that if we can't meet him then you can't see each other."

"Dad, that's not –."

"Angela! What happened to your arm? Gram, look at this. This looks awful." Patty got up to get the first aid kit. Gram walked over from the kitchen and sat in her place.

"What happened?" He asked while inspecting it.

The doorbell rang just as she was about to answer. Angela mentally thanked who was at the door, but took it back as Brian stepped inside.

"Brian, now really isn't a good time." Patty said while sitting back on the couch with the first aid kit.

"Yeah, just leave." Angela said.

"Look, I assume that you didn't tell your parents the real reason about why your arm is bruised."

"Well, I was about to, but the doorbell rang."

"Well, I wanted to come and apologize to you."

"Fine now get out." She said, she was getting angrier by the second.

"Wait, Brian, why are you apologizing? What happened?" Patty asked.

"Well, I saw Angela go into her backyard with Jordan Cattelano. So, at school I wanted to know what was going on so I asked her to meet me at my locker. We, like, got into an argument and I grabbed her arm a bit too tightly, so that's how she got the bruise."

Brian backed away when he saw the look on Gram's face. Angela giggled at the sight.

"But I really am sorry for doing this. I didn't mean to hurt her."

"Apology accepted, Brian." Patty replied.

"Yeah, now get out." Angela said. ' Why won't he just leave?'

"Look, I can't help it if I am concerned. Jordan is a delinquent who hardly ever goes to class and is always getting into trouble. I wanted to know what he was doing in our nice community."

"Whatever he was doing was absolutely none of your business you nosy jerk."

"Angela!"

"I'm sorry Brian, but I think you should go home now. Thank you for the apology."

Brian just nodded and closed the door behind him.

Angela got up fro the couch and went straight to her room and locked the door. She didn't really care to hear her parents bad mouthing Jordan, so she turned her stereo on. Tonight was going to be a very long night.
