"Are you listening to me? Cassidy's mother asked from behind the kitchen counter. She was holding a pan, staring at her.
"What?"
"Lord Jesus, Cass, your head is seriously elsehere." she said, shaking her head.
"Yeah. The final science project is killing me." A lie. A little, tiny, white lie that couldn't hurt anybody. "Wassup?"
Her mom turned around, ready to serve the just fried eggs in the plate in front of her. "I was saying that I'll be late today. A new friend invited me for dinner and well, It's been a while since I last met somebody."
Cassidy squinted.
"A friend?" Her lips twitched a little, making her mother snort.
"It's not a man, Cass... I met her yesterday during my drawing classes. A new student. she's younger, but seems like a sweet girl."
"What a bore. I thought you finally got yourself a boyfriend."
She laughed, finally taking a seat next to her daughter. "Don't get me started with that. I don't have time to waste looking for a man at this age."
