The end where I begin

Lauren's POV

Today was the day I was going out to dinner with Danny's mother. I was actually excited for that as I really liked her. She was very kind and down to earth just like her children. I was going to meet her at 5pm. I finished school at 4pm today so I had to run home to get ready. Right now I was still in class which was over soon. Then I had 2 more lessons today before I was finished. Luckily they were easy and fun classes left so time would go really fast. I also had a few friends in those classes that I could talk to as well. I didn't have that in the other classes as I usually sat down at the edge of the row and paid attention in class and really didn't talk that much. In the other classes I had friends we did some group project so I was basically forced to work with others, but it was okay as they were nice people and I liked them. After the projects we still talked and had some days where we would study together like a group. Hopefully we get to choose the ones we wanna work with in groups for the rest of the year. We were a good group and stayed together in the classes and worked well together so grades were no problem for us as we always paid attention and did what we were supposed to do.

'Hey wanna study today?' One of them came up to me as I was walking down the hall on my way to the next room where we had a class. The girl was named Mary and was accompanied by Wendy and Olivia who were also in the class. It was us 4 who usually worked together after being put together for that project.

'Sorry I can't today, I'm going out for dinner.'

'Ooohh like a date?' Wendy asked.

'No, not at all. I have a boyfriend but he's not in town, so his mother asked me to go to dinner with her.'

'Ah dinner out with the possible future mother in law, sounds scary.' Mary said.

'If you voluntary go out to dinner with yer boyfriend's mother ye must really like her, I would never do that.' Wendy said.

'That's cause your boyfriend's mother hates you.' Olivia joked making us laugh. Wendy glared at us at first before she chuckled a bit.

'Yeah I actually like her. She's really nice and says I'm a part of the family now. Of course I wish my boyfriend was home so he could join in as well so it might not be that awkward, but he's working still and won't be home for way too long.'

'Never met anyone who actually likes their boyfriend's mother until now, wow...This means there's still hope.' Olivia said. She had been in a relationship before where the mother was a bitch and basically made them break up. That was when Olivia was in high school so it was about a year ago. After that she's always been careful with guys.

'And what did ye say yer boyfriend worked with again? Was it some music stuff?' Mary asked. I had told them my boyfriend was in a band before but not really more than that. I liked to keep it private at first then give more away as time passed, but now we just talked around the subject and I didn't say anything more. A lot in the school knew I was with Danny as it was in the public, but no one seemed to care luckily. And Mary, Wendy and Olivia weren't really into music, they were more into TV series and reading so I'm not sure they even know who The Script are.

'Yeah he's in the music industry. He sings and plays guitar and keyboard in a band.' I said.

'Ah so he's out with his band trying to make a career? That's why he's gone for so long at the time?' Wendy asked. I chuckled at her and wondered whether I should tell them or not. Now that we're talking about it I think I should just tell them and get it over with.

'No not exactly. Well he's out traveling with the band cause they're doing a tour at the moment. They just released their 5th album and now they're traveling the world again.'
