I had forgotten all about the good news. My sophmore year in college I screwed around a little bit and dropped down to a 2.0. It took a lot of hard work this last semester to bring it back up. I was suprised I was able to do it in only one semester. "Thats great!" Grandpa shouted. "I'm proud of my little girl." He said. "You know, you guys should probably let Christopher eat. He was being a jerk, but he is 17." I suggested. "Yeah. CHRIS!!!!!" My dad shouted. "Dad?" Christopher answered, coming around the corner. "Go ahead and finish your breakfast, but no smart ass comments." My dad told him. "Why don't you see if your boyfriend can come for dinner tonight?" Grandpa suggested, "Then I can meet him while I am here." "Oh." I giggled, "I don't know about that, Grandpa." "Sounds like a great idea." My Mom said smiling. I quickly finished my breakfast. "Maybe." I said going back to my bedroom. I started unpacking one of my bags and called Alex. "Hey you." I said. "Hey, what you up to?" He asked. "Ugh. I just had a very interesting breakfast with my family. I told them about you." I said. "Why'd you do that?" He asked. "I figured since you were telling your family. . ." I said. "What did you tell them?" He asked sounding worried. "All I said was that I have a boyfriend named Alex. They asked questions. I told them you teach Psychology." I said. "Okay, I think you told them a little too soon." He said, "Now I'm freaking out." "What? Why?" I asked. "Ally, I could get fired from my job." He said. "But, you said you weren't going to hide me from your family, so I figured I didn't have to hide you from mine." I explained. He didn't say anything. "I'm sorry." I said starting to get upset. "It's okay." He said. "They want to meet you. . ." "Ally, if they find out I was your teacher. . ." "They won't. I promise." I said. "Okay." He said. "Please don't worry about it. They won't find out." I said. "Thank you." He said. "Would you want to come over for dinner tonight?" I asked. "Tonight?!" He asked surprised. "You don't have to." I said. "Wow, um. I guess so." He said, "I bet your father wants to kick my ass, hu?" "Everything will be fine." I said. "I'm already nervous." He said laughing. "I promise it will be fine." I said. "What time?" He asked. I gave him directions and told him to come around five. I knew my Mom would still be cooking and my Dad would be in the shower, so I would get a chance to fill him in on some things and show him around the house before it was time to eat. "Thank you for doing this." I said. "No problem." He said, "See you in a few hours." After I hung up the phone, I took a deep breath. I was so nervous, my hands kept shaking. I was able to unpack most of my things before I decided to take a break and get a shower. After my shower, I got ready and then called Tristin. I had to tell her everything that just happened.
