" Sorry...Troy" she said realising that I was in sorrow .
" About what ? " I said trying not to dig deep in that.
" About your dad " she said
" Oh ... that I rather not talk about it ." I said to her turning away from her gaze.
"It's okay" she said .
" Looks like I'm on my own today" she said with a sad face .
" Why do you say that ?" I asked her confused of what she was saying .
" Jerome left me again " she said
" Don't be sad I'm with you " I comforted her .
" Thanks chilly " she said as she smiled.
" So are we gonna move or we get a cab ?" she asked .
" No way I'm pretty tired from all that training " I said to her.
" so I'm I let's get a cab " she said as we moved .
We got out of school and got a taxi .
We sat in the taxi and I saw the taxi driver looking at us and smiling .
" You guys make such a cute couple together " he finally said .
" Actually..." before I could complete my statement. Jenny touched my mouth with her finger making me keep quiet .
" Yeah we do " she said and put her head on my chest . I won't lie I felt good about that but I was wondering why she did it but I just kept quiet. Her head rested on my chest hearing my heart beat for the whole ride We reached in out neighborhood . I was about to pay but Jenny made for me a sign and I put back my wallet .
She got out her purse and paid the Taxi guy but she gave him half of what she was supposed to. To my surprise the guy didn't quarrel or do anything he just smiled and said
" Thank you " then we got out and he drove off. I expected her to explain what that was all about.
" What ? " she said realising that I was looking at her like she owed me something.
" What was that all about ?" I asked her .
" Oh that ...it was nothing it's just that couples are given a discount so I decided to go along with it
the couple thing the guy said " she calmly stated .
"Why did you hug me that way?" I asked her again .
"Just to make it more believable" she said .
We moved a few feet then we reached her house " See you tomorrow chilly " she said as she entered her house.
I moved to my house while wondering how I didn't know about that discount for couples. Maybe because have been single my whole life .I also wondered how she knew about all that. But anyway she's full of surprises .
I entered the house and found mom cooking .
" Welcome back Troy " she said .
" Yap I'm back " I said then went upstairs to clean up since I had sweated so much .
After cleaning up I came downstairs and ate with Mom.
" I qualified for screening for the school team"
I told her .
"Really ... that's amazing Troy" she said to me in surprise.
"I thought you said you will never play basketball again " she added .
"Mom you promised never to bring this up again " I said to her a bit annoyed.
" Sorry ..." she said .
After that I went to my room played some video games and an idea flashed in my head.
I remembered Tess gave me her number I felt like texting her but didn't know what to text. So I decided to continue with my video games. I played until midnight I didn't have school tomorrow so I didn't have any worries .
I slept extremely late .
" Troy open up " I heard Mom knocking on my door . " Mom it's a weekend can't I sleep" I said aloud so that she could hear me .
"Some one is hear to see you" she added .
I wondered who it was so I woke up went and gave myself a quick shower and brushed my teeth . Put on an orange shirt and I wore a long black damage - jean it was kind of cold since it was still 8:00. I put on a black jean jacket .
I went downstairs only seeing Jenny . sitting on the couch with Mom conversing. When Mom saw me coming she stood up and went to the kitchen.
She was wearing a white dress which went up to under knees with orange spots plus a black leather jacket her hair was tied in a messy bun .
" Hey " I greeted her .
" Hey " she greeted me with a smile .
" What are you doing here ?" I asked her .
" Well ... you said I should visit you sometime ... here I am " she said with a smile
" Well yeah I said so but not so early in the morning." I complained to her.
" You over sleep it's not good to your health" she said .
"For your own information it's very healthy how do you think I got all this " I said stretching my biceps.
" Haa you call those muscles " she said while laughing .
" Break is ready " Mom interrupted .
" Actually I finished eating " Jenny said .
" It's okay you can have a second one " mom pleaded to her .
" Miss I ... " I cut her off .
" Come on Mom cooks great pancakes" I tried to convince her.
" Okay I will give it a try " she finally agreed and we head to the dining room.
