“Mrs. Walter’s assignment is due tomorrow!” Drew reminded me as I was getting inside.
“Yeah, I know I’ll do it. “I replied remembering that I have a paper to submit and I haven’t even started it yet.

I was about to close the door when drew called again, “Zoe?”
“Yeah?!”
“Nothing…. Just wanted to say good night.” He said with a huge grin.
“Idiot! Good night “, I replied with a smile.
I finally closed the door half expecting him to call me again, but he didn’t. I smiled to myself as I headed for my room.
“Zoey? Is that you honey?” Mom inquired.
“Yeah mom it’s me”. I replied going straight into my room. A while later Mom was standing in my door way, “Was that Reid again?” She asked.
Reid…. It was not Reid, It would never be Reid again….. dropping me home kissing me goodnight …….
urghhh…. Why should even I bother thinking about him? When he doesn’t care why should I? I blocked all thoughts of him out of my mind. “No Mom, It was Drew” I said flatly.
“Oh Drew?! Why didn’t you invite him in? it’s been ages since I’ve seen that young man”
“He said he was tired so he headed straight for his home”
“Is everything okay between You and Reid?”
“Um.. yes..no, I mean we Broke up.”
“oh honey! Are you fine?”
No Mom I’m not fine. It’s killing me! “Yes Mom I’m perfectly fine!” I assured her with a big fake smile.
“You know what? He was never actually good enough for you. And I knew that he --”
“Mom, I really don’t wanna talk about him, I’m tired plus I’ve got school tomorrow!” I said before she could continue on Reid.
“Okay, good night.” Mom said placing a kiss on my forehead.
“Good night Mom.”
Fore some reason Mom never liked Reid. Never, since the first day she met him. She always used to tell me that there was something off about him, he was trouble. There were so many occasions in which mom and I had gotten into argument about Reid. I always used to take his side, defending him, trying to convince mom ‘bout how great he is….. but I was wrong and Mom, she had been right all along .
I took a quick shower and slipped into comfy t-shirt and trousers. Even after taking a warm shower I still felt exhausted. I deserve a rest after all I did have a long day today with all that running, eating and stress. But I couldn’t sleep now, I Shouldn’t. I have assignment to submit tomorrow. Still a small nap wouldn’t hurt much would it? I looked at my watch it was 8:40pm. Thus, I decided to take a short nap for 20 min, and then I’d wake up exactly at 9:00 and start writing the paper. So, I took a ‘short’ nap.
The next thing I knew was that my alarm clock was going crazy ringing louder than a smoke alarm. I opened my eyes and closed them immediately because the sun was too bright ….Blindingly bright. It took me my complete will power to open my eyes again and when I did………………………… HOLY SHITT!!!! I t was 7:15 already!! I was so going to be late for school. What the hell happened to my 20min nap!? Damn… Damn I should’ve known, I shouldn’t have taken that turned-into-a-deep-sleep nap. Now, I don’t even have the time to whine about it.
I washed my hair as quickly as possible , grabbed my brush and started packing my school bag. Trig Book! I couldn’t find my Trig Book. I searched for it everywhere like crazy with a tooth brush on my mouth but it was nowhere to be seen. I was totally panicked. It would be third time in a single year that I lost my Trigonometry Book! Suddenly I remembered My Trig Book was in my school Looker. [-.-!] I really need to stop over reacting about everything .
“Yeah?!”
“Nothing…. Just wanted to say good night.” He said with a huge grin.

Before leaving I called out, “Mom I’m leaving”
“What about your breakfast?”
“I’ll have it at school.”
“You sure? ”
“Absolutely. Bye Mom”
Then I left and texted Drew.
Me
“Just left, you where?
Drew
“Outside my house”
Me
“Okay, I’ll be there in 10 min”
Drew’s house was only two blocks away from my own. Going to school together was something that we did since primary classes.
He was standing right outside is house watching two kids play in the park on the other side of the road. I stood there looking at him as the wind tousled his dark brown hair which looked a little reddish in the sun. His was perfectly tan, neither too much nor too little, his eyes was glassy light brown which seemed so warm, understanding, captivating ,full of life…..
“Zoe! We are late all thanks to you!!” He yelled again interrupting my thoughts. I wonder if he’ll ever stop interrupting my smoothly moving train of thoughts [: D]
“What are you grinning at young lady?” I figured that I was sub-consciously grinning, apparently for no reason. “Do I look that good?” he asked giving his heart-warming stupid smile.
“I wish I could say that, but you look….. average!”
“Average????!! You must be kidding me!”
“Okay, I said just because I didn’t want to hurt your feelings. The truth is you look below average.” And I started laughing.
”Hey! What are you laughing at?”
“You Lameass” and I laughed even harder
“Laugh as much as you want but soon it’s gonna be my turn.”
“Huh?! What do you mean?”
“Zoe Dear, Where’s your assignment?”
“Which assi—oh no! Oh god no!! Shit! I’m surely gonna get killed today! I was supposed to stay the whole night doing it. I.. why did I ever take that nap….” He was laughing as I kept on babbling, “I guess I have to skip the school today. I’m not going there without assignment to get myself killed.”
“Whoa! Stop there girl, you are not going to skip school otherwise I’m going to tell Samantha about it!”
“No you are not going to tell mom anything and I’m not going to school. Don’t you get it Drew? Mrs. Walter will kill me if I got to her class without my assignment!”
“Who said you are going without assignment?” he said with a huge grin.
“HUH?!” What the hell was Drew talking ‘bout?
“What about your breakfast?”
“I’ll have it at school.”
“You sure? ”
“Absolutely. Bye Mom”
Then I left and texted Drew.

Drew opened his bag and took out his assignment and handed
it to me. I was confused as ever, “What ? I can’t take this. It’s yours. What will
you submit?”
“I’m not so stupid Zoe. I did the assignment twice. One for me and another for you. ‘Cause I figured that you’d probably forget about the assignment as your mind was totally occupied by other ‘stuff’ or let’s say ‘people’.”
I ignored him and started going through the assignment, he had actually done a pretty good job.
without a word I kept the assignment in my bag and continued walking.
“You’re Welcome!!” He shouted in my ear. I laughed but he surely seemed annoyed :))
