"I had a lot of fun today, thanks." I say when we reach my front door.
"I wanted you to." Jaxon smiles at me. "Even though I couldn't win you the penguin, I'm still glad you had fun."
"I told you the game was rigged." I gently push him.
"And now I believe it."
After much attempts, and much loss of money, Jaxon finally agreed he couldn't win me the penguin.
"I'll see you tomorrow?" He asks.
"Of course. Goodnight." I wave at him
"Bye." He waves back.
I turn to walk away but on second thoughts, I turn and quickly give him a peck on his lips before hurrying inside.
Leaving a shocked Jaxon outside.
...
I woke up early the next day. By myself. Without my mom's call.
Usually if she isn't home or she's working a 24 hours shift at the hospital, she usually calls me on my phone to make sure I've already gotten up but she didn't today.
I got up, showered, brushed my teeth, combed my hair into a bun, dressed for school and headed to the kitchen to make toast.
