Chapter 2 - Cleaning Up

I couldn't believe what was happening.

There I was. Sitting on the kitchen floor with flour all over me. But even with that, this was the best moment of my life.

I tried to talk, but my brain was fried. Instead, I opened my mouth and odd sounds came out.

Caitlyn giggled at me, understanding that they were meant to be words.

"I'll take that as a compliment?" She asked, while smiling at me.

"Yes." I smiled trying to recover from my jibberish talk.

"So...does this mean you'll be my girlfriend?" She asked with a nervous smile.

I felt like my heart was flying.

"Yes!" I almost screamed, as she starting laughing at my reponse. I placed her hand in mine and was about to lean in and kiss her again, when my wonderful mom of the year walked in.

"What- Mitchie?!" She exclaimed while looking around at the mess.

"Oh, I'm so sorry mom. We'll clean it up!" I promised while standing and letting go of Caitlyn's hand as she stood up next to me.

"What happened? Are you girls alright? What's that smell?" She asked while sniffing at the burnt smell that filled the kitchen.

It clicked.

"The cookies!" Caitlyn and I yelled in unison. My mom gave me a look that showed her anger then turned around to take the cookies out of the oven behind her. As she began waving the smoke away, Caitlyn pulled me to the side.

"Are you gonna tell her?" She asked in a whisper with a concerned look.

"How can I?" I asked like she was crazy. Did she really expect me to do that so soon?

"You know how fast secrets travel around this camp. It's better for her to know the truth from you." She reminded me while brushing some flour off my face. I shivered at her touch.

"Okay." I sighed while nervously turning around and walking over to where my mother was standing.

"Hey, mom?" I asked, trying to sound calm.

"Yeah, sweetie?" She asked while tossing some of the unedible cookies in the trash.

"You'd love me no matter what...right?" I asked while biting down on my bottom lip.

She set down the cookies she was holding and turned to look at me with an almost scared look.

"What did you break?" She asked in a stern tone.

"No, nothing mom, this is different." I replied as she grabbed a wash rag and cleaned off her hands.

"Oh, like what?" She asked while grabbing a broom and walking over to Caitlyn and handing it to her. "If you could clean some of this off the floor, that'd be great."

"Yes, Mrs. Torres." Caitlyn sweetly replied while sweeping away at the floor, her eyes still on me.

"Well, you see...it's kind of hard to explain, but I...uh, well I'm no longer single." It was a start.

She turned to look at me with one of those mom faces that said, my baby is growing up too fast! I hated that look.

"Aw, well who is he? I want all the details." She asked in an almost teenager way while placing another batch of cookies in the oven.

"Actually, mom, that's the part that's hard to explain." I replied while glancing over at Caitlyn who's eyes were still watching me as she blindly swept at the floor.

"Oh no, Mitchie, don't tell me..." Here it comes, I braced myself for the yelling. "...that you're dating that awful popstar boy."

"What?! No! Never!" I quickly clarified as her body relaxed.

"Whew, that was a close one." She replied with a small laugh.

"Mom, and this is just a completely off topic question but...you like Caitlyn right?" I asked while glancing over my shoulder at her. She stopped sweeping and just stared at me, wondering where this was going.

"Of course! She's been a really good friend for you." My mom answered while looking over at her aswell. She immedialty began sweeping again while smiling at my mom like she was just an innocent by stander.

"Would you feel the same way if I told you she was kinda my girlfriend?" I nervously smiled while looking for any signs to run while screaming for someone to call the police.

She stopped what she was doing and looked over at me, her eyes showing her answer.

"Oh, honey..." She glanced over at Caitlyn who had stopped sweeping again but was staring at us still. "As long as you're happy, I'm completely okay with it."

I smiled and hugged her. I felt Caitlyn join the hug a few seconds later yelling, "Group hug!"

"Aw, you know what? You girls take the afternoon off. I'll clean up here." She giggled while taking the broom from Caitlyn.

"Really? Thank you so much mom." I replied while looking over at Cailtlyn who was smiling brightly.

"Yeah, go have fun." She laughed as we began to walk to the door, hand in hand. "Just remember not to do anything you wouldn't do in a public place! But if you do, remember that talk we had when you were 12!" She called as we were walking out the door.

"Mom!" I yelled in a tone that said, shut up before my entire social life disapears! I could hear laughing as we walked away from the Mess Hall...still covered in flour.
