~Althia~
"Montgomery is here, I'm leaving" I announced as I raced down my stairs to quickly put my shoes on
I was almost out the front door when my mother stopped me
"Where are you going?" She asked me
"To a basketball game" I answered
"And you were planning on telling me this when exactly?" Mom questioned
"I asked dad and he said I could go" I replied
"Althia, this new thing of yours where you only tell dad about your whereabouts will not work anymore" She crossed her arms
"Sorry. I thought if one of my parents knew where I'd be, I wouldn't have to tell the other" I said
"Yeah, well maybe you should consider telling the parent that you know will be at home with you instead of the one that will be away" Mom told me
"Alright, I'll do that next time" I said and went to open the front door again
"Who did you say was here to pick you up again?" Mom asked me
I turned around to look at her again
"Montgomery" I responded
"Mmh, okay" Mom simply said but I knew she wanted to say something else
"I'm sorry mom that Zach can't be the one that's picking me up because he's the one playing the game tonight. And Jeff couldn't either and neither could Tony. Gosh, what will people think when they see me with yet another male friend?" I told her "I'm really going to have to be careful with that, right?" I added
Mom opened her mouth but then closed it again
"Text your father when you're on your way back home" Was all she said before she turned around and headed to the living room
I rolled my eyes and finally made my way out the front to get in Monty's car
"Well don't you look like a happy camper" Monty sarcastically said to me as soon as I closed the door
I glared at him and he chuckled
"Your mom?" He asked
I nodded
"I just can't with her" I sighed and put my head in my hands
I continued to rant to Montgomery about my mom and when I was done, a comfortable silence joined us
"Hey, Mont?-" I started but stopped myself as he looked at me, smiling widely "What?" I asked him
Montgomery's eyes drifted back to the road and he shook his head a little
"Nothing" He answered as he tried to stop smiling but failed
"No, there's something..." I said "What is it?" I asked again
He glanced at me for a little bit before looking back at the road
"It's just you called me Mont" Monty answered
"I'm sorry, would you rather have me call you Montitty" I teased him
"Um, no thank you" Monty laughed
"In all seriousness though, do you have any problems with me calling you Mont?" I questioned
"Not at all" He responded "I'm just happy that we're on a nickname basis now" He admitted
I smiled a little
"Well of course, as my friend you deserve a nickname" I told him which made him smile again
