I get out of the shower and get dressed in baseball shorts and a tank top. I brush my hair, and tie it into a high pony tail. I check my phone, having one text from Kian, but I can look at that later. I place my phone under my blanket, on 'Do Not Disturb' knowing my mom will want to take it after what I did last night. I go down stairs into the kitchen, where my mom is cooking something. I clear my throat and she looks up at me and I brace myself for the interrigation.

"Where were you last night?"

"With a friend.."

"Name." She says more than asks.

"Kian."

"Last?"

"Lawley.."

"Does Sam know him?"

"Yeah.." He knows him.. But doesn't like him.

"Does he like him?"

"Not really..." I say and bite my lip nervously.

"Sam!" My mom calls up the stairs. No, no. Don't bring him into this.

"Yeah mom?" He yells running down the stairs, standing next to me.

"Do you know who Kian Lawley is?" She asks him, turning back to the stove.

"Yeah.. Sage seems to know too." He says looking at me, and I look at the floor.

"Do you like him? As a person?"

"Eh, not really. He's a player." Sam says casually.

"Okay. Story over. Sage, you can't hang out with Kian again. I want your phone." she says, looking back at me and Sam.

"I-I don't have it. I left it over at Kian's last night." I lie to her.

"Then I guess you wont ha- Wait. Sam, do you know where Kian lives?" He shakes his head, and my eyes go wide. " Sage, you are going to direct Sam to his house, he will ask Kian for your phone back. Go."

"B-But mom!"

"Give me your phone."

"Fine!" I yell back at her and run upstairs into my room, closing the door and locking it, taking my phone and texting Kian back before she could come up and take it.

From: Kian

Wanna hang out again soon?

To: Kian

Mom is taking my phone. Pick me up after school tomorrow? I'm not actually supposed to hang out with you, but i dont really give a flying fuck. after school tomorrow, maybe we can get out of town? xx

I type as fast as I can and turn off my phone, and go down stairs. I place my phone on the counter, go back upstairs and put on black shorts, and a white tank. I slide on my combat boots again, and grab my penny board.

"Mom, can I go to the store to get a Arizona? Pleassseeee." I ask, and she slowly nods her head, and I jump up and down, hug her and bolt out of the front door.

~~~

I slide out of my bed, rubbing the 'sleep' out of my eyes. I finish getting ready, and Sam drives us to school, and I have my penny in my hand, and tell him not to worry about me after school, that I want time to think. He nods his head, after protesting.

The day dragged along, and I took my time at my locker, waiting until the halls were empty.

I quickly run outside, seeing Kian's truck, and running to it. I knock on the window, and he smiles before unlocking it, letting me in.

"Hey." he smiles, putting the cigarette back in between his perfect lips. I take it out again, taking a drag. I puff the smoke back into his face and he laughs.

"Let's get out of here." I say, tossing my bag in the back seat, looking over at Kian, who was blowing smoke out of his mouth. I took the opportunity and leaned over, and kissed him.
