When he got home, it was getting dark. He unlocked the door and stepped inside. "How was your day Liam?" His mother, Mrs. Wick, asked.

"Great, and you?" Liam responded as he walked over to her.

"Okay. Not perfect, but not too bad either."

"That's nice, do we have anything planned for this weekend?"

"No, nothing except some stupid work party on Sunday. I mean, haven't they ever heard of a lazy Sunday?!"

"I guess not."

"Do you have any plans this weekend?"

"Uh, yeah, I'm going out with Mia on Saturday at two. We're going to the bookstore."

"Like, on a date?"

"Yeah."

"Ohhh, Liam! I'm so happy for you! Come here!" Mrs. Wick reached out her arms to hug her son. Liam hugged her back.

"Thanks."

"No problem... what are you going to wear?"

"My black jeans and my 'I speak fluent sarcasm' T-shirt."

"Okay. That's good. Dinner will be ready in a few."

"Do you need help with anything?"

"No thanks Liam, I'm okay."

"Alright, see you later mom."

"See you in a bit, Liam."

Liam walked to his room and shut the door behind himself. He laid down on his bed and read.

In a half hour or so, his mother called for him, "Dinner's ready!"

"Coming!" He called back. He exited his room and walked into the kitchen/dining room. "What's for dinner mom? It smells great." He inquired as he stepped into the room.

"Macaroni and cheese."

Liam breathed in the smell. "Mmmm!"

The two ate dinner, then watched a movie. Around eight o' clock, Mrs. Wick went to bed. It was early, but Liam didn't feel like reading, so he went to bed as well.
