I walked over to my locker after the last bell rang. My best friend Jordainne was already standing there.
"How are you doing Kiara?"
"I've been better."
"I know hon. Do you want to come over tonight? We can call AJ if you want."
I smiled to myself thinking of my boyfriend. My father had forbidden me to see him.
"Yeah that sounds good. Thank you Jordainne. I don't know what I would do without you."
"You would sit home feeling sorry for yourself."
"Oh shut up."
"I'm just telling it like it is."
We walked out to Jordainne's car. My parents had taken mine away because they didn't want me going to see AJ.
"When we get to your house I'll call my parents. My dad shouldn't be home yet. I won't have to worry about him saying no."
"OK, that's fine."
It had been a week since I had been forbidden to see AJ. It had been one of the worst weeks of my life. I had to sneak behind my parent's backs to even talk to AJ. It felt horrible, but it was the only way we could be together.
"Jordy, do you think my dad will ever accept me and AJ"
"I don't know sweetie. Your dad is pretty stubborn. I don't know if he ever will."
"Why can't he believe that I love AJ?" I don't understand him."
"I know you don't. I really don't either. AJ's a nice guy."
"Too bad my dad can't realize that."
"I think the tattoos kinda scare him. The constantly changing hair probably does too."
I laughed.
"Yeah I guess it would scare any dad. In fact, he kinda scared me when I first met him."
"I'll tell you what, that boy scared me the first time I met him."
We both started laughing.
"It's really good to hear you laugh. I don't think you've laughed all week."
"I know. It feels good to laugh."
Jordainne pulled into her driveway. We walked into her house and tried to get up the stairs before her mother saw us. Her mom is like this psycho that gets all excited when Jordainne or one of her sisters has a friendd over. Don't get me wrong, she's really nice. I love her like my own mother. She's just a bid hyper.
We managed to make it upstairs to Jordainne's room. She was luck she had her own room. Her three younger sisters shared a room. They were triplets. They were pretty annoying too. All except Amie. She was quiet. I have always wondered if Amie felt left out. The other two were always together and often discluded Amie.
I lay down on Jordainne's bed, but the sat right back up.
"I've gotta call my mom Jord."
"OK, go ahead and use my phone."
I picked up the phone and hurridly dialed my phone number. My mom probably thouht I was off with AJ right now.
I heard someone pick up and my my older brother's voice.
"Hi Jason. Can I talk to Mom?"
"Yeah. Where are you? Mom thinks you're with AJ. She's about to spaz."
"I'm at Jordainne's house. Now will you please put mom on?"
"Yeah hold on."
I heard Jason set the phone down then my mom pick it back up.
"Kiara where are you? You better no be with AJ."
"I'm not momma. I'm at Jordainne's house. Can I spend the night? We might go to the movies or something."
"Yes, I guess it's all right."
"Thank you momma. I love you."
"I love you too honey."
"Bye momma."
I hung up the phone and turned to Jordainne.
"She's letting you stay? I can't believe it."
"I know. I'm glad she did though."
"Yeah. Do you want to call AJ now?"
"I will in a little bit. I want to spend some time with you. I'd feel bad if I came here and talked to aJ the whole time. Anyway, since I started going out with AJ I haven't spent as much time with you."
"Ok. How about we go to the movies with AJ and Luke later."
"Ok, that sounds like a plan."
