I let out a nervous breath and grip onto my binder seeing Lisa's car pulling up. I was a little worried to see if she's still upset about yesterday, but, seeing her beautiful smile, I couldn't help but smile in return and sigh in relief.

I open the car door and slide right inside,

"Hey," I greet while buckling my seat belt. Lisa smiles at me and turns to fix her sight on the road,

"Hi! How was school?" She asks. I chuckle and and playfully roll my eyes,

"It was wonderful mom," I tease. She laughs and nudges my side playfully,

"Shut up, I'm trying to start a nice conversation with you," She whines out while sticking out her bottom lip. I feel the familiar heat in my cheeks return as the idea of biting that plump lip appeared on my mind, but quickly shook it off.

"Are you sure you're 19 and not 9?" I tease. She playfully rolls her eyes and chuckles,

"And here I was going to be a good friend and take you to get ice cream, shame," She feigns a look of disappointment while clicking her tongue. I gasp and quickly gripped onto her arm,

"I'm just kidding! I love ice cream more than life itself!" I exclaim causing her to laugh lidos and nod,

"Okay relax you demon, how can I say no to those feline eyes of yours," She teases causing me to giggle and remove my grip from her arm.

After a few minutes of driving, I began to smile hearing Lisa singing along to the radio. I've always loved hearing her sing. Especially when I couldn't sleep, she would hold me, play with my hair and sing a song so soothing to the ears that I would sleep instantly.

"Wow, I haven't heard you sing in a really long time," I breathe out with slight disappointment laced into the tone of my voice. Lisa nods with small smile,

"Well, I'm performing at a festival this Saturday and you're welcome to come," She states. Grinning, I look over to her and nodded,

"I'll let you know," I state. She looks over at for a second and smiles in — excitement?

"I missed this," She suddenly says. I tilt my head to the side and observed her features that seemed to be slightly tense but also calming.

"Missed what?" I ask. She simply shrugs and flickers her eyes to me for a moment before turning it back to the road,

"Talking to you like we use to." She admits. I remain silent for a moment before placing my hand on her thigh and smiling softly,

"I did too," I respond, earning a content smile from her lips to be made while she placed her hand over mine.

"What changed?" She cautiously asks. I stiffen and slowly looked away from her while removing my hold on her thigh,

You fell for the wrong Kim.

"I don't know."
