I was in Mickeys Diner doing homework. Part of me was hoping Charlie would show up so I could talk to him but mostly I was just hungry. It was the weekend so I'm going to stay with my mom for a couple nights. I miss her so much and I have so much to tell her. Once I was done with my homework I road the bus back to my house.
"Honey I'm home." I said as I walked through the front door.
"Oh my goodness sweetheart what are you going here?" My mom asked.
"I felt home sick so I decided to stay here for a couple night." I told her.
"It's everything okay at school? Are you getting good grades? Hows everything?"
"School okay, I'm getting mostly A's. I'm okay I guess."
I set my bags down and sat in the couch.
"Charlie and I are fighting. He's also mad at Banks because he made Varsity and Varsity hates us. We tried battling them the other day but that ended in a big brawl."
"Are you okay? Did anyone hit my baby girl?"
"I'm fine mom, Luis had my back and I had his."
She insisted on checking to make sure I didn't have any bruises or anything. I told her about all the fights Charlie and I've been having and how Luis is acting and Banksie. Then she told me about work and how she met this guy and how he was coming over for dinner tomorrow. By the time we were all caught up it wa stone for us to have dinner, a.k.a. we just order some pizza and watched "27 Dresses".
"What if you have Luis come over for dinner tomorrow?" My mom random blurted our in the middle of the movie.
"What? Mom no."
"Why not? I can met him and he could stay the night and-"
"Is this some sort of trap?" I wondered.
"No I'm being serious."
"Okay who are you because you are not my mom right now. You're acting like the sister I never had. It's creeping me out."
"Just invite him over." She smiled.
"Will you shut up about it if I do?"
"Yeah."

I was so nervous about tonight. I was meeting my moms boyfriend and she was meeting my, uh, Luis. I was brushing my hair while sitting on my bed in a towel. I was trying to think of something to wear. I walked over to my closet and found a nice pair of skinny jeans and a cute blue and grey striped sweater. I matched it with my Uggs and put my hair in a cute messy bun that took me half an hour and lots of bobby-pins. Quickly did my make up with some foundation, mascara, eyeliner int eh shape of a wing, highlighter, lots of it, and some bronzer. When I was done I heard my mom yell that Luis was here. I ran downstairs and hugged Luis.
"Welcome to my house." I giggled.
"Hello Mrs. Reid." Luis said shaking my mothers hand. "Pleasure to meet you."
"Pleasure to meet you too Luis. Dinner?" She smiled.
"Yes please. I'm starving."
We all sat down at the table. I sat next to Luis and my mom sat next to Keith, her boyfriend. The one thing we all agreed sounded good for dinner was chicken wraps. I love spicy food so I drowned mine in hot sauce, Luis was normal and put ranch on his, my mom put mustard and Keith put mayonnaise. (Is mayonnaise an instrument?)
(I don't know what else to write plus if I keep mentioning food I'm gonna make myself hungry so I'm gonna skip to after dinner)
Luis agreed to stay the night although he was skeptical about sleeping in my room at first until my mom told him for the hundredth time it was okay. We were watching The Sandlot (😏) when he wrapped his arm around my waist. I turned around and faced him.
"Do you like me?" I asked.
"Yeah of course I like you." He smiled.
"You don't really act like it."
"What do you mean?" He looked at me confused.
"Every second you get you keep going after Mindy."
"I like both of you."
"You don't even know her." By now I was getting mad, mostly at myself for bringing this up.
"Okay let me put it this way. Who taught me how to stop even if it only works five percent of the time?"
"Me." I said rolling my eyes.
"Who do I stay up all night with just to talk?"
"Me."
"Who was there to help the other day when we were all fighting with varsity and kicked ass?"
"Me." I smiled rolling my eyes again.
"Do you see the pattern here?" He asked playing with my hair. "Everything leads back to one person and that one person is you Hayden."
"Keep talking." I giggled burying my face in h s neck to hide the fact that I was as red as a tomato.
"I like Mindy, but I love you."
I think my heart just stopped. Did Luis Mendoza just say he loves me?
"Y-you love me?" I stuttered.
"Yeah."
He smiled like an idiot and I squealed like piglet. If it wasn't ten o'clock at night I'd run back the dorms and tell Julie and Connie.
"Will you be my girlfriend?"
"Uh, yeah. Duh." I kinda shouted.
A/N- okay this went down a lot better in my head and it was way more cute I don't know what happened. Sorry it sucks.
