Author's Note: Thanks for the reviews! Here's an update.
I know you are all confused right now. Let me start from the beginning…
The last period of the day had just let out and Troy and I were walking towards my locker to collect my things. As I was getting my things we were talking.
"So do you want to come over my house?" Troy asked me.
"No, I can't. My mom wants me to come home right away. She wants me to meet someone." I said closing my locker and me and Troy walked out of the building.
"Who does she want you to meet." He said putting his arms around me and it made me shiver a bit.
"I don't know." I sighed. We got into his car and he drove me home.
"I'll see you later?" He asked me brushing a piece of hair out of my face.
"Of course." I said before giving him a kiss good-bye and afterwards he drove off. I walked up to my house as I fished my keys out of my purse. I finally found them and opened the door. I threw my things in the corner and called for my mom.
"Mom, I'm home." I called out.
"I'm in the living room." My mom called back. I went into the living to see her sitting on the couch with a man. He looked like he was in his late 30's –early 40's. He had dark brown hair that was neatly cut. He wore nice dark blue jeans with a striped button-up shirt. I looked at the two shocked and he smiled at me.
"Mom, what's going on?" I asked looking back and forth between the two.
"Gabriella, this is my new boyfriend, Mark." She said smiling and then lacing her hands in his.
"Hi, Gabriella. It's a pleasure to finally meet you. Your mom has told me so much about you. Plus, she said that you were pretty but that was just an understatement." He said standing up and holding out his hand for me to shake. I shook his hand and his grip was strong, it sort of freaked me out so I let go quickly.
"Thank you." I said. There was just something about him that I didn't like.
"Honey, Mark and I are about to leave for our date." My mom said smiling.
"It's only 3:30." I said looking at my watch.
"Well, he has something special planned for me."
"Yeah, it's top secret." Mark said smiling and again it freaked me out.
"So are you going to be ok?" She asked me.
"Yeah, I'll probably just go over to Troy's house or he'll come over here." I said.
"Ok. Well, don't wait up for me." She giving me a kiss on the cheek before her and Mark left. After I had finished my homework I called Troy for him to come over. He was here in about 5 minutes and he greeted me with a kiss.
"So what's up?" He said after breaking the kiss.
"Nothing. I just wanted some company." I said wrapping my arms around his neck.
"So who was the mystery person your mom wanted you to meet?" He asked sitting down on the couch and pulling me with him.
I just sighed and said, "It's her new boyfriend…Mark."
"Oh, new boyfriend." Troy said.
"Yeah, it's kind of weird, you know seeing her with some new man…ever since…" I faded away.
"Ever since your dad died?" Troy said carefully.
"Yeah, I know it was a long time ago but… you know?" I asked looking at him.
"Well, maybe she is just lonely."
"Maybe you're right. It's just it's something about him." I said.
"Well you just met the guy, give him a chance." He said tucking a strand of hair behind my ear.
"Alright." I sighed.
A/N: Ok, I know that chapter sucked but I have a little case of writers block. I know what I want to happen in my head but I just don't know how to put it down exactly. Well, I'll try to update sooner. Trust me later on in the story there will be drama, that's my specialty.
