That night as mom and I were doing dishes I told her about the church thing. "I think it would be fun mom! It would be nice to think about something different for a while other than Derik." I said quietly.
"Honey, I'm sorry that he broke up with you really and I think that that would be a great thing to go to! I'll try to get off work early tomorrow so that we can go."
"Thanks mom, I know you mean it. I think that it may be fun to go to one of those things. I never knew that church stuff was fun."
"Well I guess it is." Said mom as she finished with the dishes. "I am going to go watch some TV, do you want to come along?"
"No thanks mom, I think I will go upstairs to work on my homework." I answered.
"Homework on a weekend? What will they think of next." Muttered mom as she walked out of the kitchen and into the living room.

As I finished up the dishes I could hear the TV in the next room. Mom couldn't make up her mind of which show to watch. The downside of having dish, I guess. I put away all the dishes after I finished drying them all and I hung my towel up on the stove side.

As I headed upstairs I thought about the homework assignment that Mr. Jerighal had assigned us. We had this long page of math questions that made no sense whatsoever! When I reached my room I put on the rap music and began to get at my math homework. That was at 6:45.

When I finished it was already 9:00! It took way too long to do that! If I found out that it is done wrong, I will kill someone! I laughed to myself. I am getting tired. I could tell that because I was already making corny jokes...and laughing at them! I decided to call Sara. Sarah is my best friend and she is the prettiest and most popular person I know! I like to hang out with her because she is so outgoing! And when I'm with her, the popularity sort of rubs off on me.

"Hello?" Sara answered.

"Hey Sara, it's me, Chris." I said "Oh, hey Chris. What have u been up to?" she asked.

"Nothing except for crying I guess." I answered.

"Why are you crying? What happened?" she asked.

"Well, Derik broke up with me after school today, and ya, that's why I've been crying all afternoon." I answered.

"Oh no!!!!! That's so sad! I am so sorry!" she said to me.

"It's alright." I answered her; "it's only one boy. One boyfriend, like I mean he only stayed in my life like 2 years. It's not like I was going to marry him or anything."

"Chris, you sound so depressed!! We are going to do something fun on Sunday, just you and I! Got it??" she asked.

"Ya, I got it. What do you have in mind?" I answered.

"Well, I think I am going to make it a surprise, just wear you walking shoes and bring your purse! I'll come by Sunday at around 11, alright??" she said.

"Ok, well then I should get to bed now then. Love you!" I said.

"Ok, I love you more!" she said. Then we hung up.
