The Only Thing Different is the Way I Feel About You

It’s Monday you are sitting at a table outside at Deegan’s place doing your homework. Jacko came and sit next to you.

“Hello Sheila, math again?” Jacko ask.
“Yep, I got two classes,” You said.
“Crazy.”
“Thank you, anything you want?”
“I was seeing if you mind me taking you out tomorrow out for lunch?”
“I don’t mind, but with Todd being in town I got to ask him about it.”
“And he says no.”
“I’m sorry I can’t go, but I want to go.”
“So you ask him then get back to me.”
“Yeah”

“What you two talking about?” Todd asks.
“Hi Todd,” You said.
“Hi Baby girl, what you two talking about?”
“Jacko wants to take me out for lunch.”
“No, two dates are enough”
“Ok, I leave you alone to do homework,” Jacko said before walking away.

“What’s wrong with going out to lunch with him?” You ask.
“It’s a date, you guys shouldn’t date,” Todd said.
“But Todd.”
“No, it’s finale.”
“Ok I’m going home.”
“Ok have fun.”

You drive home and lock your door. You finish your homework. You hear Todd come home.

“Give me the dame phone,” Todd said.

You give it to him and sit down and look at the wall.

“Anna,” Todd said.
“What?” You said.
“Come on I give you everything it’s only one thing.”
“Yeah it’s only one thing, but it’s not right. I don’t see anything wrong with Jacko. He is sweet and a lot of fun to be around.”
“It’s just, what are you going to be doing once you out of high school?”
“Really I have no idea, I don’t think my drawing is good enough to sell.”
“Aren’t you in an art showing thing?”
“Yeah, it’s at the start of June.”
“So you want to go to Art School?”
“I haven’t heard anything back from the schools I applied for.”
“Here it’s mom.”

“Hello mom,” You said.
“Hello Annabella, are you going to be at Todd’s tomorrow at three?” Your mom ask.
“Yes.”
“Ok I bring over your mail.”
“Ok bye.”
“Bye.”

You hang up and Todd took the phone away.

“Let’s wait a week, then talk about you doing something else.”
“Ok”

You guys eat.
