I was putting my jacket away in my locker when I saw Zeke down the hall. He was wearing his leather jacket and a pair of black jeans. He had sunglasses on and a resting bitch face. He walked over to me slowly.
“Hey Zeke” I said happily.
“Please… Don't shout” he said putting his hand up.
“Did someone get a little drunk last night” I whispered smiling.
“Was not my idea” he said leaning against the locker.
“Alex's?”
“Nooooo, in fact it was his girlfriend, Brandi” he said I laughed he covered his ears.
“God your laugh his loud.”
“No you just have sensitive ears”.
“Zeke!” Chelsi fueled down the hall.
“Ow!” He said angrily.
“Ouch who made you roll off the wrong side of the bed” she said laughing even through the glasses I knew Zeke was giving her the death glare. The five minute warning bell rang Zeke covered his ears again.
“God I can't take this, in going home” he said and started walking away.
“You known you can always come with me princess” he said spinning around smiling.
“Go home already” I said laughing and started walking with Chelsi to class. I walked into my science and took a seat in the back ok class.
“Get your textbooks out and do pages 71 and 72 problems 1 through 17 and 21 through 26” the teacher said then went back to grading papers.
“Hey Lindsey” I heard, I looked over to a guy at the table next to me.
“Hi..” I said
“So I have a question” he said
“I might have an answer” I grabbed a piece of paper from my binder.
“So, rumors going around that you at that New guy, Zeke are together.” I started laughing quietly.
“We are not together.” He smiled leaning back running his hand through his thick black curly hair. His bright green eyes contrasted with his dark skin as he looked into mine.
“That's great… i mean I was wondering if.. Wanna go out sometime” he said laughing nervously. I laughed quietly looking down on my paper.
“Ohh no you're laughing” he said standing up.
“No no not in a bad way, just you were so nervous” I said smiling.
“Well, I get nervous when talking to cute girls.” He said, I squeaked then looked down. He just called me cute I laughed awkwardly.
“No no um my sisters the cute one” I said.
“You're not interested are you..” He said
“Chris, your athletic, smart and caring all things Mia is and I'm not, I seriously think you should ask her out.” I said smiling.
“You really think so?” He asked.
“Yes, now if you want I can introduce you guys”
“That would be awesome” he said smiling.
Class went by quickly after that, so did all my other classes, until it was the end of the day. I found Chris and dragged him along with my till I found my sister Mia.
“Miiiiii Aaaaaaaa!!!!” I yelled after her she turned around, another book in her hand.
“What's up?” She asked smiling.
“This is Chris” I said smiling pointing at him.

“Hi” she said
“Hi” he said smiling.
“Mia there's this party tonight and I was wondering if you'd like to go.. With me?” He asked.
“I don't know I mean” she stared
“You. me. talk now!” I said dragging her away.
“What” she said once I stopped.
“Mia he's hot! And he's into you plus he's really smart he's athletic and things your hkt” I said.
“Lindsey you look pretty much exactly like me” she said
“But I'm not you Mia please just give him a chance, I'll I'll do your homework tonight if you go” I said.
“Please” I begged.
“Fine fine I'll go” she said walking back over to Chris. By the smile in his face I can tell he was excited he gave her his number and she walked back over to me hitting me on the arm. We rode the bus back to school and I went straight to my room and plopped on my bed.
“Sweety are you home?” My mom yelled.
“Yeah”
“Can I come in?”
“Yep” I said sitting up she sat at the end of the bed.
“So how was school?”
“It was good I guess”
“And how was Zeke?, are you two together?”
“No mom we're not dating” I said laughing.
“That's too bad, your father's company is throwing a formal party and he wants you to come, and you'll need a date. And I'm sorry but you can't bring Kayla this time” she said.
“Ughhh, do I have too” I whined
“Yes both you and Mia have to come, and there might be other kids your age there.”
“Mom but we got rid of the dress from last time” I said.
“I've got a new one coming in that will look amazing on you” she said smiling.
“Mom, when you were a kid you never had to do this” I said mom kind of froze slightly.
“When I was your age my mom disappeared and I took custody over your uncle, that's why. Now Lindsey I know these aren't your favorite things but it will mean a lot to your dad.”
“Ok, I'll do it” I surrendered.
“Thank you sweetie” she said kissing my forehead and leaving my room.
“I have to as Zeke to be my date… Great” I whispered to myself and started on Mia's homework.
“Mia!” I said bursting into the room in the morning.
“Yeah?” She asked she was putting in her gold flower eating that matched the floral print dress she was wearing.
“Can you give me a ride to Zekes?”
“Yeah why?”
“Mom want me to ask him to the dinner party”
“Mom? Or do you want to” she said with an evil smirk
“Mom” I said with the death glare.
“Ok let's go” Mia took me to his house then left to go to school. I walked up to the door knocking on it, my palms were sweaty and i didn't know why as Alex opened the door.
“Lindsey? Hey what's up?”
“Hey Alex, is Zeke here?” I asked rubbing my hands together.
“Yeah, is everything alright?”
“Oh yeah i just have to ask him something” i said walking in.
“Zeke!!” Alex yelled. I heard stomping down the stairs until Zeke showed up at the bottom of the stairs he was shirtless and had a towel draped over his shoulder and his hair was wet. I went speechless looking at him.
“Lindsey hey what's up?” he asked walking over to me.
“Hey.. umm can I ask you for a huge favor” I said as Alex left to go finish getting ready for school.
“Yeah whats up”
“My mom.. My mom wanted me to ask you if you'll come to my dad's company party this weekend?..” I said speaking quickly.
“Wait what was that, can you rephrase that please” Zeke said with a smile i groaned looking at him.
“Will you be my date to my dad's company party?” i asked.
“I'd be delighted” he said bowing laughing. I laughed looking at him.
“So it's this weekend, and you have to wear a tux” I said. Now he groaned and plopped on the couch.
“Can I have a ride to school?” i asked sitting next to him. He scooted up so his head was in my lap.
“Sure” he said smiling. I laughed and flicked his forehead smiling, we stared into each other's eyes for a little bit till Alex came down the stairs.
“Zeke you need to get dressed if you're not gonna be late” he said grabbing a glass of water. Zeke sat up and looked at me with a smirk on his face, he stood up and walked back up to his room leaving me slightly confused. A few minutes later he came back down in a pair of dark sweats and a red t-shirt on, his wet hair fixed into a messy spiky look.
“Lets go princess” he said walking to the garage.
“Don't call me princess” I said swinging my leg over, it has become a now habit of just casually swinging it over now a days. He drove to school and I got off his motor cycle taking of the helmet and letting my barely brush hair fall back down onto my shoulders. I looked behind me and on the sidewalk against the fence was a pomeranian looking lost. I walked up to it slowly and picked it up. It had a collar on it with the owner's phone number, Zeke was right next to me as he pet the dog.
“Hey Lindsey” I looked up and my friend Nathan was there, his a grade lower than me but is really smart and nice.
“Who's the rat?” he asked
“This is… Tucker” I said looking at the dog tag.
“And who's the dog?” he asked smirking.
I started laughing but Zeke gave him the death glare. Once i realized Zeke was still eyeing him down i spoke up.
“Nathan this is my friend Zeke, Zeke this is Nathan.”
“Nice to meet you” Zeke said coldly holding his hand out to Nathan, Nathan took it to shake it but you could tell that Zeke was squeezing to hard but the pain in Nathan's face.
“Okkkk well, ima go to class” I said and dodge the awkward moment.
