Here's the fourth chapter, I did my short rambling at the end of it. All I have to say is, enjoy!

Getting off the bus, Mimi walked home quickly with Matt following her. "So, we're going to do our homework at your house?" He asked, jogging to keep up with her. Upon hearing that, Mimi's eyes widened and she spun around quickly.
"No!" She gasped, causing a surprised look to come over his face. "I mean, my parents are both out, and I can't have anyone over unless they're home, sorry." She said, turning back around, contiuning to walk home.
"Well then you can come over to my house." He said, following after her.
"Sorry, but my parents won't let me go to someone's house whom they don't know." She contiuned walking, until she realized he had stopped. Turning around, she walked back to where he was. "Tomorrow afternoon, in the park. Is that ok?" She asked while looking at him. A grin appeared on his face.
"Ok, tomorrow afternoon, in the park. See ya!" He called, as he walked away, back towards his house. Sighing a small breath of relief, she turned and continued on to her house. Upon entering, her Mom came out of the kitchen, a smile on her face.
"How was your day, Mi-chan?" She asked, while hiding Mimi's bag behind some plants.
"It was ok." Mimi replied, as she changed out of her dirty clothes, and into a clean tank top, and a pair of shorts. "Tomorrow I'm going to meet a boy at the park to do my homework." She continued, while putting her clothes in the laundry room.
"Why don't you go watch tv, while I finish cleaning the kitchen." Her Mom said, while heading back into the kitchen.
"No thanks, I'd rather help you." Mimi said as she followed her Mom into the kitchen. An hour passed as the two cleaned in silence. "Mom, I was thinking of getting a job." Mimi said, breaking the silence that had grown between the two. "I was thinking of getting a job at the local pet shelter. And that way, I'll be earning money so we could go to America sooner." Mimi looked at her Mom, to see her smile and nod.
"But your father will only let you do that if you give him the money you earn," her Mom said, looking sad.
"I know, but I was going to lie to him, and give him less then half of the money I get paid." Mimi said, smiling at her Mom.
"As long as you're happy, go ahead." Her Mom said, while hugging her. Mimi hugged her back, and both of them jumped at hearing the front door open.
"Where the hell is everyone?!" An angry voice demanded, causing them to walk out to where the voice was coming from. "My friends will be over soon to watch the 'girls'. The food better be done soon, and it better be good. Why are you two standing there?! GO!!" He yelled, causing them to jump again.
The two of them quickly entered the kitchen, and began to pull out ingredients to make pizza. "I can't wait till tomorrow." Mimi whispered to herself, as she began to make the dough for the crust of the pizza.
"Mi-chan, we're out of pepperoni. Can you go to the store and get some?" Her Mom asked, her eyes full of concern. Mimi nodded and left. Walking down the street, she stopped as she got to Matt's house. The garage door was open, and Matt, along with three guys and a girl were playing instruments.
Mimi stood there, for awhile, listening to them. The girl saw her watching them, and stopped, causing the rest to stop and look at her. Blushing furiously, Mimi quickly began to walk past the house, and her face grew even redder as Matt came out and began to walk next to her.
"Well?" He asked, looking over at her, as he placed his hands in his pockets.
"Well what?" She replied while quickening her pace.
"What'd you think?" He questioned again, a small grin appearing on his face.
"Think about what?" She asked, hoping he'd just give up and go back to where his friends were.
"About the song." His grin turned into a smile.
"It was good." She said, wondering if her cheeks were as red as she thought they were.
"Really? Do you like it?" He asked, finally looking away from her and instead in front of him.
"Yeah, it was nice." She stopped to look both ways before crossing the street. Turning around, she noticed that he hadn't crossed the street with her.
"I'm glad you like it. Well, I should be getting back. Bye." He said, while waving to her, before turning around and walking back to his house.
"That was close." She muttered, while turning back around, heading back towards the store.
~*~*~*~*~*
Ok, so the ending wasn't that great. But I something to say that'll make you get excited about the next chapter. Hopefully. Mimi's Mom didn't give her any money, so how is she going to buy pepperoni? I want five or six reviews, that's not too much to ask for, right?
