Brendan's POV
"Hi Brendan."
I sat down at my desk. "Hey Emily."
"Hey, so are you going to the winter dance this Friday?"
"Probably not."
"Oh, how come? Do you not have a date or something?"
"Well yeah, but that's not the reason. I'm just not into dances that much."
"Why, they are so much fun."
"I don't know… I just never have."
"I think you should go and maybe you can go with me."
"I don't know…"
"Quiet down class." Ms. Turner said. "Please pass up your homework and then open your book to page 213."
"Just think about it and let me know. I can assure you you'll have fun."
I reached into my backpack and passed forward my homework. "Yeah…"
Teddy's POV
"Mmm… you're going to love sweet peas." I sat in front of my daughter who sat in her high chair as I stirred the jar. "Mmm… Okay, open up." I started to make airplane noises. "Mmm, yummy."
"I don't think she likes it." Spencer said standing behind me.
"Hey, thanks for taking Char to the airport."
"I'm just happy she's finally gone. She's definitely been here too long." Spencer replied.
"I'll agree with you on that. I'm happy she decided to be with my mom and go to school in Denver." I started to make more airplane noises. "Yuuuum."
"I honestly don't see how babies can eat that. The only thing good is the mashed fruit." Spencer said.
"I know and some of the veggies are good like the carrots, but you're right. She's starting to have a tooth coming in on the bottom."
"About time, what is she now, eight months?"
"Yeah, about." I put another spoon full of sweet peas in her mouth. It started to spill. "Okay, I think that's enough peas." I wiped her mouth with a napkin. I picked her up out of her high chair and took off her clothes so she was only in her diaper. "Put these in the laundry room for me while I go put some clean clothes on her."
I walked up to the nursery and then Spencer came up a minute later.
"Hey, so what do you want for Christmas?" He asked.
"I honestly don't need anything."
"There has to be something you want, something you have your eye on."
"If I did, I'd go out and get it myself. I really don't need anything. You know Brendan is begging me to get his permit."
Spencer laughed. "I'm not teaching him how to drive. I'm not ready to die yet and he's not learning in my car."
"Yes you are teaching him when the times come. And I agree, he shouldn't learn in the most expensive car we got." I picked up the baby off of her changing table and put her on my hip. "Are we going back to Denver for Christmas?"
"Do you? I'm not really in the mood to travel but we can if you want."
"I'd rather just stay here for the holidays."
"Then we will." Spencer smiled.
"Are your parents expecting us to come?"
Spencer shook his head. "I told them probably not the last time I talked to them."
Brendan's POV
"Hey, did you think it over?" Emily asked.
"Yeah, I really rather not go, sorry."
"Oh, you sure?" She asked disappointedly.
"Yeah, I hope you have fun though."
"Yeah, thanks. Bye."
"Bye…"
"Wow, Walsh." Andrew said. "Why you'd turn the girl down?"
"Because Daniels, I don't want to go to some lame dance."
"You should take Amanda." Lacey said.
"Yeah, dude."
"I'm not going and you can't make me."
I got up and threw my food away.
"We're gonna make him. I'll get Amanda to come if you get him to come." Lacey said.
"I don't know…"
"Just say you're going to a party and then bring him here. Or tell him we're going to a party and I'll come pick you guys up."
"Yeah, yeah, I guess that could work."
Friday December 6, 2030
"B, your friends are here." Mom shouted.
I grabbed my phone off the charger and headed down. "I'll be back later."
"You need to be back by midnight."
"Yeah, bye."
I walked out with Andrew and got into Lacey's car seeing Amanda in the back.
"Hi Brendan." She said.
"Hey B." Lacey said.
"Yeah, hey. So where's the party at?" I asked.
"You'll see in a minute." Lacey said.
Thirty minutes later Lacey parked the car in the school parking lot.
"I told you I didn't want to come." I said.
"Stop being a party pooper. The dances at this is school are awesome because it's filled with awesome people." Lace said.
"Plus, you'll be the only one on the basketball team not going." Andrew added.
"Why is Amanda here then?"
"Because she's your date. Have fun."
I rolled my eyes and got out of the car. "You guys are the worst."
"In my defense I knew nothing about this." Amanda said. "But still, let's just have fun."
"Yeah, yeah."
