"Yes, of course" I say
"Good" he smiles at me. we finish our meal, we went outside
"So" I say
"So"
"What now?" I ask
"Well we could go to your place or mine. or we could watch a movie, go get ice cream, or we could check out the record store" He says I smile.
"We can go to my place and watch a movie" I say
"Okay" He wraps his arm around me and we get in the car. Nick holds my hand the whole ride. We went inside and saw Mom and Dad sitting at the table with Aunt Lydia. oh, shit. I grabbed Nicks hand and turned around
"Kiara, is that you?" Mom asks
"Uhh... yeah"
"Come in here" Mom says I turned to Nick
"Stay here" I went into the kitchen and saw my aunt Lydia.
"Hey, aunt Lydia" I say
"Hello, Kiara, haven't you grown into a young lady" She smiles

"What was that about?" Nick asks
"My aunt Lydia is such a snob, she thinks she can just get rid of me" I say
"What are you talking about?"
"My aunt Lydia is sending me away on Sunday to go to this spoiled rich kid school" I say
"What? your leaving?"
"Yeah, I have to choice thanks to my rich aunt"

"Come on," I smile he takes my hand and we enter the cafeteria to see the Vice President We sat in our usual spot
"Ladies and Gentle man, as the Republican National Committee Student liaison, For McKinley High School, I am Honored to present to you...the Vice President of the United States of America George Bush" Cindy says
The Band plays Hail to the Chief
"Yeah! Hail to the Chief!" Ken yells "This song Rocks!" Ken says.
Nick wraps his arms around me,
"Now we're going to open up the floor so the vice president can take some questions from our student body and our first question comes from Ms. Lindsay Weir"
Lindsay stood up
"Mr. Vice president my name is Lindsay Weir, my dad owns A1 sporting goods on 16 mile road. My question is... why did your staff reject my question? are you afraid of an open discourse with the students?"
