"Where have you been young lady? I've been worried sick about you."
"Sorry Mrs. Teslow I should have been more aware of the time." Phil said to keely's mom.
"Yes you should have been, try to be more considerate of my feelings. I allow you to date my daughter, I would think that be enough." Mrs. Teslow said.
"Mom, you have no right to say that. It's my choice to date who ever I want to date, and its only 7:00 pm. Phil shouldn't have to apologize for anything." Keely yelled.
"It's ok Keels, I don't mind." Phil said. It was true he didn't mind. He knew her mom didn't like him, so he just took it. As long as keely loved him then her mom words didn't really affect him.
"I think it would be best I'd leave. My mom gets worried too." Phil said.
"Wow, so your responsible after all." Keely mom said.
"Mom!" keely yelled. She then turned her head to Phil. "I'm sorry about this. Will you call me later tonight?" she asked
"promise." Phil said.
"I wouldn't count on that. My sister and some of her friends are coming in the mourning for tea, and I want you to be ready."
"Thought the maid handles all the cleaning. Phil said.
"She does. But I just want keely up early so she can look beautiful for when they come."
"I think Keely is always beautiful" Phil said touching Keely chin while she blushed.
"If Aunt Susie is bringing friends over, can Phil join us to?
"Keely I'm sure he has things he has to do."
"No I'll be free. I would love to come." Phil said
Mrs. Teslow thought about it a moment. "Fine, be here by 6 in the morning." She said rather rudely then stormed off to the kitchen
"I'll be here bright and early." Phil said then hugged keely Good bye.
"Please be up at midnight. I'll call you then." keely whispered in his ear.
"Ok I will" Phil whispered back. After he left, keely went to find her mother
"Why did you invite him to tea tomorrow with us, you know my sister doesn't like the boy." Her mom said.
"Because I want him to be there. He has a right to meet my family; the only one he knows is you.
"What about you? Do you know anyone besides his parents and sister?
"That's different his family lives far away, they never visit him. Yet our family comes here every month. You never let them meet him."
"He's just your friend, is it that important."
"Mom you know we've been dating for a week now,
"Oh, you guys have been going out a while haven't you?" her mom said in a sarcastic tone.
"Please don't make fun of us, we've been in love for a while, it just took us a while to admit It." keely said looking down.
"Keely don't give me that, your only 17. You don't know what love is, you barely know yourself."
"That's not true. I mean sure, I know we're young and to tell you the truth I'm scared of what might happen in the future, but I know there is no one else I want to be with."
"How can you be so sure of that?"
"Because I have become a better person because of him."
Keely looked down at her attire. She used to wear things that made her look "cute" or "hot." But ever since she started hanging out with Phil, She stopped trying to impress people. She now wore things that made her feel comfortable on the inside and out. She now also stopped buying 100 dollar shoes that hurt her feet she does most of her shopping at thrift stores. One more thing to point out is that she hardly wore make up now. Some eye liner and lip-gloss but that was it. Now she didn't feel like some circus clown. She would also admit that she had become smarter. No longer was she the stereotypical blonde but now she had become more analytical and could hold an intelligent conversation with Phil. Sometimes even about math. Yes, Keely had become a different person from then what she used to be.
"He has taught me much and for that I am grateful." Keely said.
"Honey bun look at me, you're a Teslow; we are the pride of Picford. You were already a great person." Her mom said.
"Mom I admit that we have most money then people in Picford, but that doesn't mean we're better than anybody else."
"Keely, Keely, Keely, you're young so you just don't understand."
"I think I already do, I'm going to bed." Keely said
"What about dinner." Her mom asked.
"I think I lost my appetite." Keely said going up to her room.
"Be ready tomorrow, my sister we'll be here at 8."
"Wow that sounds hash." Phil said over the phone.
"I just don't know why she has to think she is better than everyone else. It really makes me mad."
"Well, I'm just glad you're not like that." Phil said.
"There was time when I was. I was really terrible to people."
"I don't believe that, you were nice to me on my first day at school…sort of."
"Believe me I was worse than that. I would always talk bad about people behind there back, and would be nasty to their faces, I was nothing like Tia but I was still pretty bad."
"Come on Keel, everybody talks about people behind their back, I talk about Pim all the time."
"That's not the same thing and you know Phil." Keely said.
"Ok, your right but all I'm saying is that it doesn't matter what you did back then because you're a better person now."
"Thanks Phil, you always know the right thing."
"It's my duty as a boyfriend."
"By the way, Phil?" keely asked.
"Yeah…?"
"I'm sorry for the way I treated you when I first met you. At the time I thought you were very weird."
"What about now?" Phil asked.
"I still think you're pretty weird, but that's what I love about you. I want to be by your side forever." Keely said.
"I feel the same way" Phil said.
"I better go, don't forget tea time with my aunt."
"Great…breakfast with 2 of your family member that hates me. I'm sure it will be fun" Phil said.
"Please Phil, I need you there. I know it's not the best place you would rather be but it would mean a lot to me if you would come."
"You already know I'm going to be there." Phil said sighing.
"Thanks Phil. I love you." Keely said.
"Love you too"
"bye." Phil said
"bye." Keely said then they hung up the phone."I don't care what my mom says, I love Phil" Keely said before lying down.
I know this is moving slow, but I promise that after the next chapter the story will move along
