Andy's POV

I drove Lilah home after she insisted that she should've gone home by now.I pulled into her driveway and saw that her house was small, had dying plants and unhealty grass all around it, and downright looked shitty. I frowned and gave her another hug. She should be living in an upbeat, lively place. I walked her to her door. It was locked so she had to knock. And her mom answered.

"Well, well, well. Look what the cat dragged in. Where have you been all night?" She said in a mean, unmotherly tone. "And who's this guy?" she scowled. "Boyfriend? Oh no no, missy, you will not be with an emo-kid. I mean, look at his piercings! Disgusting. He'll end up just like your father."

That sure pissed Lilah off.

"MOM. Andy is NOT my boyfriend, but I won't have you bad-mouthing him like that! He's too good of a person to be insulted by the likes of you." Her mom looked up and me. "Get to your room, bitch." She shouted at Lilah. Lilah walked in, turned around, waved and mouthed me a "goodbye" and "thank you." I smiled and winked at her. Her mom spit at my feet and slammed the door in my face.

I got into my car and backed away. I remembered how I blew off Chance yesterday so I sent him a quick text.

"Srry bout yesterday." I said. He replied, "Thats alright bro. did u get some?"

I stared at my phone in disbelief and sent back, "im not the kind of guy to take advantage of a girl while she's sad and weak. Asshole."

"Srry man. But if you dont make ur move quick , i will. she's goddamn hot."

"theres no way in hell ill let you get even within breathing distance of her."

He didn't answer back.

I drove for a while with my mind blank, then pulled into a Wal-mart parking-lot to think awhile. I took long, deep breaths and rested my head in my hands. She was so quick to say that I wasn't her boyfriend,I thought,wait, why do I care? I'm not her boyfriend. But then, why do I feel so disapointed? I lifted my head and saw that in was around lunch-time. I had to get home and eat, and then be ready for band practice around 5.

When I got home, mom already had veggiburgers cooked and hot. (My mom and I are both vegitarians.) I sat down with her at the table and started to eat a little.

"Are you okay?" My mom asked. "You seem distracted."

"I'm just...what was the question?"

"I said you seem distracted."

"Oh, Packers."

"I didn't ask you about football, dear. Are you okay?"

Oh, I thought, I forgot, today's Sunday. That means I get to see Lilah in school tomorrow.

Why do I keep thinking about Lilah?

My mom folded the newspaper she was reading and stared into my eyes.

"You know, Andy, that Ceceilia is very pretty. She's also very polite and nice. She's not like other teenage girls, all preppy and snotty and such. Andy, do you like her?"

Thats when I stopped eating.

I stared onto my plate and felt my face burn up.

"Mom...I think I'm in love with Lilah."

I left to go to band practice around 4:30. Half of me wished that Lilah would be there. Half of me was too embarrest to see her. I got to CC's garage and had a hard time trying to get the broken door to open. So I went to his front door instead, and knocked. Ash answered and let me in. "Sorry, forgot to tell you that we're eating and watching some of the game first. CC's mom ordered pizza, want some?" "No thanks."

I was gonna ask if Lilah was coming, but Jinxx did that for me. "Yo Ash" he said "Your girlfriend comming or what?" That made me a little angry. Or jealous. I couldn't decide.

"She's not my girlfriend. She couldn't come cause she's grounded. Apparently she snuck out and spent the night at some dude's house. I swear, I'm gonna find that guy and beat him to a bloody pulp."

Uh oh.

"Speak of the devil. She just texted me." Jinxx then jolted for Ash's phone. "Come on Ash, whats it say? Whats it say?" I wanted to know too. Badly.

"It says, 'I gotta talk to you, pick me up after school tomorrow?'" Ash blushed, which made me more angry. Or jealous. Still couldn't decide. But I was a little panicked. Shit. What does she want to say to him? She might say that she thinks I'm creepy for kissing her cheek twice. I was just being friendly, I didn't know that I fell for her then...but she was so worried about me...she said so this morning...I wish I had kissed her on the lips instead of the cheek...wait, no, that'd be way more creepy...

CC was waving his hand in my face and I suddenly remembered where I was. "Earth to Andy! Hello?" I slapped his hand away, "I'm fine." He turned around and shrugged.

"Lets go rehearse."

Haha...I realize I made Chance sound like an asshole XDD but he's a funny guy XDD! Trust me, go to youtube & search "Chance and Andy", watch, and laugh.

Anyways, AWWWH. ANDYY.
