I arrived home that night to the aroma of Mom's famous gingerbread cookies. I came in through the kitchen door and spied a big platter laden with cookies. I reached my hand out to grab one, but just as I did, a hand grabbed my wrist. I turned my head to see Mom staring at me.
"Hi, Mom!" I said with a smile.
"Don't 'Hi Mom' me! You were out with that good-for-nothing boy Tony again weren't you? Look at the time! Its past midnight!"
"Don't say that about him! It's not true! He's a perfectly fine guy! He knows what he's gonna do in life and everything! And besides, I wasn't out with him! I was out with.uh.umm.KEVIN!" I was nervous as I talked. I didn't want her to notice the.
"What's this?!?" She pulled my shirt collar to reveal my neck, totally bare. No hickey like she had expected. Just my silver chain.
"What? This?" I held up the chain. The chain with an "I love you" charm attached to it. "You mean this lovely charm that Tony gave me tonight?!" I put my hand to my mouth, realizing the mistake I had just made. Mom didn't need to say anything. The look on her face spoke a thousand silent words. Her disappointment was more than I could bear. I hung my head left the house. I pulled my cell phone out of my purse to call Kelley. Maybe I could spend the night there rather than here. I didn't want to deal with Mom's anger tonite. I had enough to deal with already.
