Chapter eight

"Ashley mentioned that a boy dropped you off the other day?" Mom asked breaking the silence, I almost choked on the food i was chewing, I shot Ashley an accusing look which she returned with a smirk

"You don't need to look like that, you're going to turn eighteen in a few weeks, I'm just bothered that you have very little social life  , you barely even hang out with your friends these days is everything okay with you?"

I wanted to tell her that i wasn't, that I have a cruel ,sick manipulative bully who just wouldn't stop but I didn't, instead I replied with a slight smile

"Just busy with school work that's why" I replied instead

"So about the boy? What's his name ?"

Why wouldn't she just drop this?

"His name is Hayden McAndrew and mom we aren't friends" I say standing up from the dinner table

I thought I saw something flash across her gaze , and did her face seem to get a little paler?, I was probably mistaken
