Josh was sitting with Mackenzie in the cafeteria.They didn't really say much for awhile.It's not that they didn't have anything to say.But Josh was kind of shy still.He looked at Mackenzie.Mackenzie started laughing and smiled.Josh thought she's laughing at me.Great.What is so funny?Did i do something wrong?Josh sighed.

Mackenzie laughed and said:Why aren't you saying anything?

Josh said:I don't know what to say.

Mackenzie said:I didn't think i was that difficult to talk to.

Josh said:Your not i just.Josh touched his neck nervously.

Mackenzie smiled and said:Are you nervous?

Josh said:Sort of.

Mackenzie smiled and said:So am i.

Josh said:You are?

Mackenzie smiled and said:Yes we've only known each other for a couple days.So i wasn't sure what to say.

Josh said:It's not stupid.I wasn't sure either.

Mackenzie said:Wow we really gotta get to know each other more.What movies do you like?

Josh said:Anything but horror it really scares me sometimes.

Mackenzie said:Me too.Which ones scare you the most?

Josh said:All of them.I shouldn't be scared but i am anyway.

Josh's pov:
I didn't know if Mackenzie liked me.We aren't really dating.What is so different about going out as friends and going out otherwise?I don't wanna tell her i like her.Until we get to know each other.I do like her but this is way too hard to handle.I never thought i'd like a girl so much.Now it's really hard to deal with.Were basically only friends right now.She said she had the same problem.Does she like me?Or do i like her and she doesn't feel the same?Friends isn't bad.Unless you like your friend and it's not the same for her.Friends it is i suppose.Josh sighed.

Mackenzie said:I know so am i.You know it's not real but you find yourself getting scared still.

I smiled and said:Yup.What singers do you like?

Mackenzie said:I hate to admit it but i am such a huge fan of britney spears.Who do you like?

I smiled and said:Really?I like britney spears.Who else?

Mackenzie smiled and said:That's great.I hear there's a dance coming up in november.

I said:Yeah.Are you going?

Mackenzie smiled and said:Noones asked me yet.Are you?

I said:I'm not sure.

Mackenzie looked down and said:Oh.

I smiled and said:Well if noones asked you yet.Wanna go with me?

Mackenzie said:Like a date or friends?

I said:As friends.I wasn't sure what to say we hardly knew each other yet.I had no idea if she liked me or not.

Mackenzie smiled and said:Sure as friends.Wanna go to the mall or something?

I said:Alright.I have to call my mom and dad first.

Mackenzie said:Okay.

Josh called his dad.

Josh said:Hello Dad.

Walter said:Hello Josh.What's wrong?

I said:Nothing.I was wondering if i could go to the mall with a friend?

Walter said:That's okay with me.With what friend though.

I said:Mackenzie we go to school together.

Walter said:Oh a girl well i guess if it's alright with her parents then sure.Do you need me to drive you there?

I said:No.I think her mom will pick us up and take us.

Walter said:Then okay have fun and don't be back too late.Be back by seven okay?

I said:I will.Bye.

Walter hung up the phone Audrey smiled.

Audrey smiled and said:Who was that?

Walter smiled and said:It was Josh he met a new friend in school.Their going to the mall.

Audrey smiled and said:Oh that's nice.Is this friend a girl?

Walter smiled and said:Yes Mackenzie is her name.Josh seems to like her.

Audrey smiled and said:That's nice that Josh has someone he can hangout with from school.Is this girl nice?Do her parents know she's going to the mall?

Walter said:Yes Josh said it was okay with her mom and she would pick them up and bring Josh home.

Audrey smiled and said:Great.You did tell him to be back before dinner right?

Walter said:I didn't forget.

Megan walked in the kitchen and said:What is everyone smiling about?

Audrey smiled and said:Josh has a new girlfriend.

Megan said:Josh has a girlfriend?

Audrey said:Yes.Why is that hard to believe?

Megan said:Because he's kind of a dork.But if he's got someone who will tolerate his weirdness then good for him.

Audrey said:Megan don't talk that way.

Megan smiled and said:Why?You know it's the truth.

Audrey said:Megan nomore of that.Josh tolerates you and so does Drake when your always going into their room tricking them into trouble.

Megan smiled and said:Yes.It's only since i'm smarter then them both.She smiled coyly.

Audrey smiled.

Meanwhile Josh and Mackenzie were at the mall.Mackenzie's mom Anita was across the street working for awhile until they were done.

Mackenzie said:What do you think we should do first?

I said:Whatever you wanna do.

Mackenzie said:We could go get something to eat.

I said:Sounds good.

We walked into the diner in the mall.And ordered burgers and two pepsis'.

Mackenzie said:I love this place they have the best food and the best milkshakes too.Don't you think so?

I said:Yes they do have the best stuff here.

Mackenzie said:Are you feeling well?

I said:Why?

Mackenzie said:Because you look really nervous still.

I said:No i'm great.

Mackenzie smiled and said:I'm glad you are.I'm happy you were allowed to come to the mall with me too.

I smiled and said:Me too.So your mom works across the street?

Mackenzie said:Yes it's a really cool place.Ever been there to eat before?

I said:Not yet.

Mackenzie smiled and said:They have great food.My mom is the cook there.

I smiled and said:I should go there sometime.

Mackenzie smiled and said:You should.I could give you a personal tour.They play music there and even have a place where you can dance.I'm sure my mom would be happy if you came there oneday.

I smiled and said:I'd love to.It sounds really interesting.

Mackenzie said:Yup interesting.So what do your parents do?

I said:Oh they.Josh reached for his drink and spilled it on Mackenzie.

I said:Oh my gosh i'm so sorry.Here's a napkin.

Mackenzie said:It's okay it was just on accident.

I said:Your not mad are you?

Mackenzie said:No i'm not.In fact i'm usually the one who's always making mistakes by dropping things.I'm a total clutz.

I said:I'm glad your not.

Mackenzie said:It's okay honestly.I'll just be in the bathroom getting it off.I'll be right back.

I said:Bye.

Josh's pov:
What is wrong with me?This day with her has been a total disaster.Was it a date or just going out with a friend?
It must be a date.And here i am making a idiot out of myself.Spilling a drink on Mackenzie.Is she really okay about it?
Or will she officially never wanna see me again.I can't tell at all.About whether were friends or not.
I'm not usually the one worrying about this kind of stuff.Sure i'm sort of clumsy.But it's definetly gone overboard today.Why do i have to be so stupid?She said it was okay so why am i getting worried that she's not telling the truth?I've ruined my chance with a girl i really like.Alot.Josh sighed.Maybe i didn't yet though.

Mackenzie walked out of the bathroom and sat down.

I said:So you got it off?

Mackenzie said:Yes.

I said:Good.

At that minute i wished i could get out of there as fast as i could.Although i knew it would seem rude and mean of me.
I felt like such a dork spilling the drink on her.Why did i have to make that mistake?

Mackenzie said:So wanna go walk around for awhile?

I nodded and faked a smile.We walked around in the arcade and played a few games then in the cd store.It was soon time to go so Anita picked us up.

Anita smiled and said:Did you two have fun together?

Mackenzie said:Yes.We had fun.

Anita smiled and said:So you both go to school together?

Mackenzie said:Yes mom.Annoyed.

Her mother hardly had time to say the least to even ask her about her life.Now because she had no other choice she was concerned.It still seemed odd to Mackenzie.
Why is she being so weird?She thought.

Anita said:So do you take any classes together?

Mackenzie rolled her eyes and seemed upset.

I said:Yes we take math, science, and history.

Anita smiled and said:That's really good.School is very important if you wanna get somewhere in life.Do you plan on going to college?Are you two dating?

Mackenzie said:Mom why are you asking so many questions?

Anita laughed and said:Can't a mother be concerned about her daughter.And who she spends time with.

I said:I think i will go to college when i graduate.

Anita smiled and said:That's really decent of is a great idea.Are you dating?

Mackenzie said:Why do you all of a sudden act like you care what i do?

Anita smiled and said:I care about you.When have i not?

Mackenzie sat in silence at least when it came to her mother.

Josh's pov:
I almost wasn't sure if she was upset with me or more at her mother.They seemed to not have a good relationship.
I wasn't sure why though.She seemed nice but something must of been hard for them both.
They couldn't talk without arguing.Everything seemed okay but it must not have been.We pulled into the driveway of my house.

Mackenzie said:Bye Josh.I had a fun time with you.I hope you had a good time too.She smiled.

I smiled and said:I did.Well i'll see you later.

Mackenzie waved and drove off.

One things for certain today wasn't like any other day i've had.It was good and bad at the same time.Which was pretty confusing.

Hey!Confusing chapter i know.But josh isn't sure really if Mackenzie likes him.As you can tell lol.The more reviews the more i'll update not to mention sooner.So go ahead and r&r.
