"Amy! Hey!" Julie said.

"Hey!" I greeted, balancing the phone on my shoulder as I ripped open the package of semi-cold pasta. "What's up?"

"Uh, I dont know. What's up with you?"

"Um..." Wow, thats quite a loaded question. "I was just about to eat my dinner..."

"Oh, I won't keep you busy, then! See you tomorrow!" Click. Just as I was about to apologize.

"Who was that?" Aaron asked, digging into the plastic tray of pasta with bare hands. I smacked him playfully and handed him a fork. He made a face at me, sticking his tongue out. Haha, I love that tongue!

"Guess."

"Kyle?" Aaron made a face when he said his name, but was it out of disgust or jealousy? Neither of which he had any reason or right to feel towards Kyle?

"Nope!" I smiled, watching him try to think of who else would be calling me. "It was Julie." I laughed.

"What did she want?" Aaron asked, his mouth full of pasta.

"Nothing, she just called." I answered, digging into the pasta with my fork.

"For no reason?" Aaron's face was apparent with amusement. "Interesting."

I smacked him playfully again. "You are SO sick!"

"Why am I sick?" he said, confused.

"Ugh..." I rolled my eyes. "I'm too hungry to explain." Digging my fork into the leftovers, I paused before putting the fork in my mouth. Unlike my boyfriend, I don't talk with my mouth full of food. "Um, Aaron... One more thing."

"Yeah?" He answered, not even looking up at me as he ate my dinner. Hey, isn't there food at your house??

"My parents don't know you're here." Not that its a big deal, I just want him to know...

"Haha, I hope not," Aaron said. "Otherwise you be in a lot of trouble."

He stuffed another fork full of food into his mouth. "When they go to sleep, which will probably be soon, you can sneak back to your house."

"Aww, do I have to?"

"Yes, you have to. You can't stay here all night. If they saw us together in the morning or saw you or whatever, I'd get in a lot of trouble. It's not that I don't want you to stay over for the night, it just that you can't. Maybe sometime Julie or Gina could cover for you and you could spend the night at my place," he said putting aside the now empty leftover tray.

He leaned in and kissed me, I kissed back, and pretty soon we were back to what we'd been up to downstairs. Until someone knocked on the door...

We released our grasps on each other, but not soon enough.

"Aaron?" My Dad's incredulous voice broke through the air. Nick and Mom were behind him, watching us curiously.

"Uh, hi?" Aaron shrugged meetly, practically throwing me across the bed. Dude, I know that we didn't want them to see us groping each other, but its a little late for that.

"What are you doing?" my dad asked accusingly, pointing at both of us in general.

"Uh, we were just eating." I pointed to the empty tray of food carelessly thrown to the ground in our mad snogging frenzy.

My mom giggled, "It looked like you had finished eating and decided to move on to another activity."

I laughed nervously and whispered to Aaron, "I think that's your cue to leave..."

"Yeah, I do too.." he got up and slinked past my dad, blowing me a kiss goodnight from behind his back. My mom stiffled another laugh.

"Goodnight, Aaron!" Dad called. "And I noticed that!" he added.

"Goodnight, Mr. Sean!" I heard Aaron shout. Nick laughed as he stood in the doorway.

"Goodnight, I'll see you all tomorrow." He said, waving to me as he followed his brother out of the house.

"Remember what we talked about, honey." Mom said. I nodded, and she dragged Dad out of my room before he could say another word.

That was close...

~The Next Morning~

I woke up and found my mom sitting on the edge of my bed. "Good morning!" she said cheerfully.

"Mornin'..." I yawned.

"Uh... can I help you?" I asked her trying not to sound too rude.

"Uh, no, I'm fine," she said brightly, obviously missing my sarcasm.

"So I'm guessing you just like smushing your daughter's legs at..." I squinted at my nightstand clock through bleary eyes, "6:45 in the morning, huh?"

"Well, I was coming in to wake you up. I was assuming you were planning on going to school today."

"Well, I kinda had a hard day yesterday..." That was an understatement. I was about ready to punch the next person who looked at me and whispered something. I didn't even want to know what everyone had heard, I really didn't care. I can only imagine this is only a percentage of what Aaron, Nick, and their sisters had to deal with all the time.

"So you don't want to go?" Mom asked. I nodded. "Okay... I'll call the school. See if your friends can pick up your work again, okay?" I nodded again, and she left my room.

Once she was out of my vicinity, I let my head drop down onto the soft cushiony folds of my pillow, sighing. I really have to go to school sometime, or else I'm gonna be like the worst student of the year.

A small thud sounded against my window, followed by another, and another. Not again, I groaned as I crawled off my bed and walked over to the window.

"You're gonna break my window!" I yelled, wrenching the darned thing up and sticking my head out of it.

A small pebble hit me square on the forehead.

"Sorry!" The guilty party shouted. I looked down and Kyle was standing there. "Thought you'd need a ride to school."

"Thanks, but I'm not going today." I replied.

"Oh..." He frowned. "Well, I hope you feel better."

"Thanks! See you around." He smiled and waved goodbye as he walked away.

Kyle, Kyle, Kyle. I quickly glanced out the window to see if Aaron was anywhere near the windows or front yard, but the house was seemingly empty.

"Kyle! Wait!" I called after him, he stopped mid-step and came back.
