What did I get myself into:
“Come on little kermit.” Says my mom. “Let’s go say ‘hi’ to your friend.” She says already walking over.
This is why you should never tell your parents you know someone in a public space. I start to bite my finger nails, but notice I’ve already bitten down to my nail bed. I hide nervously behind my 5’8 mom. Her brown to red hair quite noticeable in the mall.
I love my mom. I really do, but when she does this type of stuff, especially with this person, I want to jump in a trash can and stay there forever.
“Hi! My son told me he knew you and I thought I’d say hi!” Says my mom tapping on Jonah’s mom’s shoulder.
“Oh? Who’s your son?” Says his mom. Jonah turns and catches my eye. He sends daggers in my direction, his gaze piercing.
“It’s Kai.” Says Jonah. “We went to the same preschool, elementary, and middle school.” He smiles happily and I feel shivers go down my back. So his acting skills were quite good.
“Kermit sweetie, why didn’t you ever tell me you were friends with him for so long?” Says my mom. She shakes his mom’s hand and they start talking about our school. Their voices go mute somewhere in the middle of the conversation. My gaze fixed on Jonah and his evil grin.
“Hey Kermit, wanna go grab a smoothie with me? I brought some spending money.” My mom nudges me forward and I swallow hard.
“S-Sure. Thanks.” I say. I follow him and his brown headed figure. He has brown eyes, perfect facial features and the tips of his hair is bleached so there are some lighter brown streaks here and there. His hair is slightly wavy and frame his face. He has some bangs that reach his eyebrows.
Apparently girls like that because he always has a girl with him whenever I see him. We stop outside Jambi Juici and he turns to me.
“So, kermit. What’ll you be drinking today?” He says laughing. I feel my face flush.
“Whatever’s fine with you.” I mumble. He gets me the same drink as him and sat me down.
“What made you think it would be a good idea to get your mom over?” He says immediately. I shiver and try to hide in myself.
“Can we not do this here?” I ask miserably. He rolls his eyes and we continue sitting in silence until his name is called. He grabs the drinks and hands me mine. I take it cautiously, careful not to drop it in case he was planning on tossing it at me.
“Let’s continue this conversation at school.” He says. I took a long sip of my drink so I don’t have to respond. Weirdly it tastes pretty good. Well at least he has good taste in smoothies.
We meet back with our parents and we say our goodbyes. I release a breath I didn’t know I was holding.
“His mom’s nice. We actually can relate a lot. She’s also a single mom taking care of her little JJ.” She said with a smile.
“And I thought I was the only one near here. His mom invited us to go over to their house for dinner tonight? What do you think?” my mom says. She looks desperate for an answer. She must want to go, after all, taking care of me is tiring. To be able to relax and relate is a rare occasion for her.
“Sure. No problem.” I lie right through my teeth to my own mother. What did I get myself into?
