Chapter 11

“Do you mind waiting for me? I want to go say bye to my friends real quick,” I ask my mom before we make it to the car.

“Oh, sure. I’ll just wait in the car, and check my email," She responds and waves me off to talk to my friends.

“Great, thanks!” I say then jog over to my friends.

“Hey! Great job!” Emily’s parents compliment me.

“Thank you! It was so much fun!” I make small talk then her parents leave us to mingle for a bit. “Well, I have to get home. I’ll see you guys tomorrow,” I say to Emily and Elizabeth then turn to Max, “you coming out for day two of homecoming?” I ask Max when Emily and Elizabeth walk away.

“Oh, I don’t know. Today was a lot,” Max comments and he laughs, I laugh as well.

“Hey, we can pick you up on the way here?” I offer up a ride with myself and Emily. It would be good to see where he lives, maybe meet some family members, and just get to know him a little better. He’s still mysterious and having an unknown factor in my life is not safe.
