Can you juggle your teenage life?
You pick up your outfit and you put it on...
You pose in the mirror, looking at yourself at different angles.
You: (Casual...Good Choice, Toby)
You smile through the mirror. You go downstairs through to the kitchen. Your mother greets you and informs you of your piece of toast on the table. You eat it within seconds and thank her.
Your Mother: "Wow, hungry, aren't we? Would you like some more?"
You: "Nah...no, thanks. I gotta go somewhere"
Your Mother: "Where?"
You: "I'm going out...with a friend"
Your Mother: "Oh, thats lovely. Was it that girl who came by yesterday at 6 in the morning?"
You: "That's the one"
Your Mother: "Oh, so you are going out with a...'female'"
You: "Yes, that is-"
You notice the sheepish, inappropriate smile on your Mother's face. You know what she is thinking.
Your Mother: "Has my Toby found himself the love of his life?" *smiles*
You: "Mom, it's just..."
You chuckle at yourself trying to think of an excuse to hide your girlfriend. You try to get yourself to stop smiling.
You: "Her name is Tamsin. She has helped me through a lot and...well, yeah..."
Your Mother smiled.
Your Mother: "Awwww, my little Toby with his own girlfriend"
Your Mother gave you a hug that smoothered you. After seven seconds, she finally let go.
Your Mother: "Oh, and send my apologies to Guy's Parents. Tell them I can't make it to the funeral because I have to visit your seriously sick auntie"
You didn't think about Guy this morning until your mother mentioned him.
You: "Yeah...yeah, that's fine"
Your Mother kissed you on the cheek then left for work.
========================================
Ten minutes later, there is a knock on your door. It must be Tamsin. You get up from watching TV. On the way to the door, you took one more quick look in the mirror.
You: (Nice...)
You put your hand on the handle of the door, you take a deep breath then you open the door. After you open the door, you see Tamsin and she was looking as beautiful as ever. She was wearing a white summer dress that ended length at her knees. She was wearing yellow sandals with an interesting pattern on them. The best part was: She wasn't wearing any make-up. You hated make-up. To you, it is just a way of covering up the real you. You were happy you had a girlfriend who was happy to express herself without the use of make-up. She had a bag around her shoulders. You assumed her bikini, towel and her other beach stuff was in there.
Tamsin: "Hey, you..."
You: "Hey, you..."
You both laughed again because you failed to start a conversation. She gave you a hug.
Tamsin: "So, how are you?"
You: "I'm good, seeing as I'm about to go on a date with the most beautiful girl in the world"
With that, you smiled at her. You sure do know how to sweet talk a girl...Too bad it only happens WHILE you are in a relationship.
Tamsin: "Awww, thank you" *smiles* "So, are you ready to go?"
You: "Yep, let me just get my stuff"
You grabbed your back pack with your beach stuff in it and you put it on your back. You shut the door and took Tamsin's hand. You could see some of the kids in the neighbour hood staring at you and Tamsin with their mouthes wide open. You didn't know whether it was because they thought Tamsin was the sexiest girl they had ever seen or whether they were suprised you could actually get a girl to talk to you, let alone go on a date with you. Either way, you didn't care.
You: "So..." *whistles* "...what are we doing?"
Tamsin: "Well, I kind of planned it for us"
You: "What have you got planned?"
Tamsin: "Well, we are going to the local museum to look at fossils that were found in prehistoric times! Then, we are going to take a history revision class that will last for about three hours. Finally, we will go home to watch a four hour educational documentary on 'Our Endangered Animals'!
You looked at her as if she was speaking in Spanish. You quickly shook off the face.
You: "Errr...well, Tamsin, that sounds...interesting..."
You looked at Tamsin. She burst out into laughter.
Tamsin: "No, I was just kidding! Did you think I actually meant that?"
She playfully punched your arm.
You gave out a sigh of relief but you decided to play along.
You: "Yeah, of course...I knew that...I mean...yeah...No, but, seriously, what have you got planned?"
Tamsin: "Well, we can go to the Entertainment Centre to watch a movie and annoy people by throwing Popcorn at them. It will be romantic..."
You: "And funny!"
Tamsin agreed with you.
Tamsin: "Or there is a new italian restaurant that has opened. It isn't too far from us and it looked quite romantic. I figured we could go there if you wanted. I don't know if we can understand their accents but we'll try" *smiles*
You nod and smile back.
Tamsin: "But, the thing I really wanted to do with you is go to the beach for a relaxing swim and we could watch the sunrise together..."
You nod.
You: "That's cool!"
Tamsin gave you a three second hug, then a one second kiss on the cheek. The neighbourhood boys watched in amazement.
She grabbed your hand and dragged you playfully while smiling at you.
Tamsin: "Come on! Let's go! Where do you want to go?"
You pose in the mirror, looking at yourself at different angles.
