"Sure..." he replied before walking out of the kitchen. And before I could do so, she called my name.


"Yeah?"
"Straighten your back." she told me as I nodded, doing so.
"Yes ma'am!" and with that I followed Cody.

When I finally got to school, Cody quickly drove off as I instantly met up with Zoey who had just arrived as well. And with that, we made our way inside the building and, hopefully, I didn't kiss any object this morning.

Cody already knew that Zoey was coming over, so he wouldn't be wasting any gas by driving me home-which made him glad.


And when we made our way out of the school's parking lot, we quickly got in Zoey's car and drove off the school's property with, of course, music blasting through the back speaker.

I opened my mouth to object, but then I thought, "Yeah you're right," I confessed.

When, all of a sudden, a yell from downstairs caught us off guard. "Madison, it's for you!" I recognized the voice belonging to my mother.
"Are you expecting someone?"
"Not that I know about," I mumbled before getting up to go downstairs, with Zoey behind me.
