"Nessa, I was starting to wonder if you were ever going to come out," Destiny said as I walked into the driveway. I knew she was standing right next to the lamp post like always.

"Sorry, I had to convince my mom to let me hang out with y'all."

"Okay well Sydney will be here in like five minutes to pick us up." Sydney was a year older than us so she was pretty much our ride if we wanted to go anywhere. We are friends, but she is more Destiny's friend since they have known each other longer.

"So are we going to Poppin?" I ask. Poppin is short for "What's Poppin?", a local restaurant that's kind of a hang out place for Charlottesville students. No matter what day it is, Poppin is the place to be, and we always go there.

"You know it. I was thinking we could swing by the baseball game for maybe like thirty minutes then grab some food there after."

"Sounds good," I say unenthusiastically.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtawww0VTEH
Destiny must have noticed my tone and asked "Did you have something else in mind?"
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJj3Gu5FGN
"No, I'm just a little flustered because of a conversation with my mom earlier. I thought she was doing fine with the whole new school thing, but I guess she's not handling it too well. She obviously isn't getting to spend as much time with me, and it's bothering her more than I thought," I reply.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5GZqTfCdG
"Well you are handling the whole school situation great, and this was going to come at some point. Your mom will be fine, she just has to get used to it. Just don't worry about it, and focus on having a good time tonight," she says, giving my arm a tight squeeze. Destiny always knew the perfect thing to say.

"You're right, I'll try."

Sydney pulls into the driveway, and Destiny and I hop into her SUV. We always like to joke about her "mom" car. "Well at least I have a car and a license. Y'all brats should be thankful because y'all couldn't know how to get around without me," she would say playfully.

"Syyyyd, what's up?" Destiny shouts.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gSAw7oezR
"Ahh, nothing much," Sydney responds, "So where are we headed, Poppin?"
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJh5XzvAqPf
"Duh, where else?" I say sarcastically, "But first stop by the school."
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLX1nsgOUi4
Sydney makes a sound indicating disgust. "Why would we go to the school, nerd?" She asks trying to hold back a chuckle. Our whole friendship was just based on joking and teasing each other, and we learned very fast to never take what we said seriously.

"Keep your pants on, we just want to watch part of the baseball game," said Destiny, "but if anyone needs to go to school after hours it's you, Syd. Aren't you like failing geometry?"
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLC9MWK8rD
"Oh shut up!" Sydney exclaimed, "The only reason you want to go to the baseball game is so you can see Luke!"
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgThh5ifniP
I could sense that Destiny was extremely shocked and confused. "What are you talking about?"
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcXedVEyqf
"You know exactly what I'm talking about, Dee," Sydney whispers and then her voice returns to a regular volume, "I don't know why you always deny stuff like this when it's so obvious. Heck, I bet Nessa even knows about it by now, and that's saying something!"
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5V760w1OA
I let out a weak laugh not really knowing what Sydney is referring to, but I decide to go along with it anyways just to mess with Destiny.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIlI52xBi8
"Yeah, Dee, I hate to break it to you, but you are pretty much the worst at hiding crushes," I say smugly.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIurdI5LkXg
"Wow, I didn't realize it was so obvious," she replies with an annoyed tone. "I mean I guess I do like him, but my feelings are so small I barely even noticed myself."
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKgZffKIwF
Bursting with laughter, Sydney sounded like she was going to explode right then and there. I didn't really know why it was so funny, but I couldn't help but laugh because of Sydney's outburst. Soon, we were both in a full-on laughing fit.
