Chapter Sixteen

                                    

                                          
I've been taking 3 more classes and I've been drowned with homework. Ansel wants to hangout, but I don't have the time. He gets mad when I tell him I have to do homework, and he can't come over. He usually comes over anyways and bugs me. 
                          
"Come on, let's go get Icecream." He begs as he bounces a bouncy ball against my wall. 
                          
"Ansel, I have to finish this." 
                          
"Whyyyy?" He whines. 
                          
"Because you wanted me to graduate early. Only 2 more weeks of this, and then I'll be done." 
                          
He smiles and walks over to my desk chair. He lifts me up and throws me on my bed. 
                          
"Ansel, I don't have time for this!" 
                          
"Come onnn" 
                          
He crawls on top of me. 
                          
"Maybe I have a little time." I laugh while he kisses me. 
                          
"Sarah! Come meet the new neighbors!" My mom yells from the bottom of the stairs. I know it probably seems crazy to have new neighbors, since we just moved in, but the whole block had a for-sale sign in their front yard. I groan, but Ansel doesn't stop kissing me. 
                          
"Ansel, you wanna come?" 
                          
"Sure." He says sitting up. I laugh and we walk down stairs. 
                          
The whole family is sitting in our living room. I see a little blond girl and two boys that look like twins. 
                          
"Ah, there she is. This is my daughter sarah." My mother introduces. I wave. 
                          
A woman on the other side of the room speaks up. 
                          
"Hello, I am Becky. This is my oldest daughter Melissa, oldest son Markus, the two twins are john and jake, and then the littlest is Jessie." She says as she points to each kid. I just smile. 
                          
"Would you like to come over for dinner?" She asks. No. No. No. 
                          
"Sure!" My mom says with more cheer in her voice than necessary. I continue smiling, trying to not be rude. Ansel grabs my hand, he must've noticed I didn't wanna go. 
                          
"I'll go with you." He whispers in my ear. Now I genuinely smile. He squeezes my hand. 
                          
   Once they are out the door, I run to my mom. "Ansel is coming to dinner with us!" Before she has the chance to say another word, we run up the steps. 
                          
"You are a life saver!" I yell as I wrap my arms around him. 
                          
"I know." He smirks. Then, he bends down and kisses me. 
                          
"Hey, I think the boy was about our age, maybe you guys could be friends." I suggest. 
                          
"Not with the way he was looking at you." 
                          
"He didn't look at me in any way." 
                          
"Mhm.. I saw it." 
                          
"Whatever babe." I smile and kiss him again. 
                          
"Babe?" He says with a smirk, picking me up. I wrap my legs around him and look down at his lips. I kiss them. 
                          
"Babe."
