New beginnings

Neighbour Besties

I gulped and looked at Becky who was as terrified as I was

"Do you wanna go see who it is? " I asked

"Hell No" she shook her head

"Great let's go," I said pulling her toward her house

"Freen this is a bad idea"

"A bad idea is my middle name" 

"Freen no time for jokes" she whisper- yelled as we were near the gate

I took a deep breath and looked at her 

"Stay behind me" I pulled her behind me and entered the house.

I was ready to attack but I calmed down seeing that it was just our mom's talking

"Oh Freen," Mom said as if she was excited to see me

I rolled my eyes and looked at Becky who was equally shocked and confused

Our parents were sitting outside chatting and laughing while sipping on wine in the broad daylight of 5 pm, like WTF

"Mom you scared me," Becky said going towards our moms and we followed behind

"Aw why"

"Well you are supposed to be home in an hour not now" she almost yelled

" oh come you guys are being pathetic, its the start of school the school knocked off quickly" 

Becky just rolled her eyes and said nothing

"and since I met with Freen's mom at the school we came together and she joined me for a cup of wine"

"Mom why were you at her school," I asked

"Geez I feel like we are in an interrogation room......I went back to teaching and it happened to be the same school as Miss Armstrong"

I nodded

 Actually, my mom was a primary school teacher before I was born but after marrying Dad and getting pregnant with me she stopped working because of Dad's wishes. Even after I grew up he said it was ok if Mom didn't work so she became a housewife

"Is the interrogation over now?" Becky's mom asked and we nodded

"Good join us and tell us about your day" She gestured for us to sit

Becky got excited and sat down so did I

"Do we get to have wine too? " Becky asked clapping her hands like a kid

The moms laughed

"Hell no, I would have to die first to see you drink" Her mom

"Yeah no way," Mom said and Becky frowned

"Whatever" She stood up and went inside the house leaving me alone.

I looked at her figure going inside the house and looked back at the moms who were looking at me smiling. 

God, well this is awkward

"So how was your day baby," Mom asked

"Umm it was good mom, I have home-work so yeah," I said standing up but Ms Armstrong pulled me down

"Not so fast young lady," She said and sipped her wine

"Tell me what Becky is doing in school"

"studying" she scoffed

"Am not stupid I know that, I mean the things she does that are not for her age"

Oh shit do I say it, Becky will hate me but I can't lie or can I, God what did I get myself into
