As I walk out of the bathroom I try to keep myself calm and debate whether I should tell my mom or not.
I don't know if my mom can handle all of this supernatural stuff let alone my dad being alive.
She wouldn't even believe me without any proof and I can't even control my powers.
I don't even think I've seen a picture of my dad.
It's like he dropped off the face of the earth.
What the hell am I going to do about all this?
This just keeps getting messier
***
I decided to take cheer a little more seriously.
To my and Taylah's surprise, I'm not as bad as I thought.
I was getting all the steps down like it was no sweat Taylah even complimented me which is a nice change from her screaming at me like an hour ago.
I am very serious when I say my balance is worst than Bella Swan in Twilight.
So to get through cheer without tripping on air and embarrassing myself was a miracle.
When I was doing the cheers I saw Nathan look at me a few times and smile.
I felt so giddy over that.
Taylah even saw in which she made a disgusted face but I didn't care.
"Okay, guys we are going to practice again tomorrow and Thursday by Friday you should have all the steps and cheers down. But remember we are only taking the best of the best so if you mess up at any point in time you will not proceed with us. So get some rest, eat healthily, and practice hard because you will need all the help you can get. Break!" she shouts and we all disassemble.
I walk over to my stuff and make sure everything is still there.
You'd be surprised how many students steal in this school.
"Hey," a voice said in a cool low tone.
I jump a little bit before I turn around, it's Nathan.
I smack his arm hard "Don't do that you scared me."
He shook his head and chuckled "Sorry I didn't mean to scare you. You did well out there."
"Did I?"
"Yeah, it was…hot to see you like that."
I tried to fight a smile "Thanks. Well, I have to get home."
"I can walk you? My car is in the shop right now."
"Right your window…sure why not."
As I and Nathan walk halfway through the field Taylah pops up in front of Nathan.
"Hey, Nathan you haven't called me back since Friday is everything okay?" She asked in a higher tone than she usually speaks in.
Fucking pick me.
"Uh, I've been going through some things so I haven't really had the time to. I'll call you later ok?"
"You better." She says with a giggle that sounds like she's choking on needles.
When she walks away I blurt out "Pick me. Choose me. Love me." In almost the same voice as she was faking.
Nathan laughs and I smile.
He then wraps his left arm over me and begins walking.
"She's not too bad, a little clingy but she's actually pretty cool and she's not the jealous type."
"Are you two dating?" I question secretly hoping the answer is no.
"No. Why would you like to have that title?" he answers and I push his arm off of me.
"Absolutely not. But I do have something to tell you and it's kind of a long story."
"So talk."
"I'd rather tell you later it's a long story and you are going to have questions. What are you doing tonight?"
"Nothing I just finished my slides for the oral presentation so I'm pretty much free."
"Good meet me at the skate park at ten."
He looks at me with confusion "I thought you were grounded?"
"I am but I'm going to sneak out."
"Are you sure that's a good idea?"
"I am not sure I have a choice."
"What does that mean."
When we get down my street I spot my mom on the porch and stop in my tracks.
"I'll tell you tonight but my mom is waiting on me."
"Good! I'm going to meet your mom" He said with a huge grin.
"What? No your not."
He just smiles again and makes his way to my house.
I internally call him every curse word I know us in every language I know.
"Hello, we didn't get to me before due to circumstances, My name is Nathan Price."
He's charming my mom.
She smiles widely at him "Hi I'm Jamila Alston, Dre's mom."
"And I'm Dre," I state sarcastically but they both ignore me.
"It's a pleasure to meet you I was just making sure Dre was getting home safely."
"Awe that is so sweet of you! I was actually going to the school because" she points at me "you forgot to call me and I was getting nervous."
"Sorry I forgot."
"Anyways I should get going my mom is waiting on me."
"Ok dear, it was so nice to meet you."
"Same to you ma'am." He turns to me "Bye Dre."
"Bye," I say as he walks away.
I walk up the porch and into my house.
"I'm sorry I didn't call I really forgot," I remark.
"I can't believe I met one of your friends that isn't Barry! He is so kind" She exclaims and I grimace.
"He's okay. Are you going to work?"
"No, I took a couple of days off to keep an eye on you."
"How long until you trust me again because this is getting out of hand."
She walks up to me and pats my shoulder
"As long as it takes."
She then smiles and walks up the stairs.
Should I tell her?
How would she react?
Would she even believe me?
