After school, I meet Brandon in the parking lot. "Let's hang at my house for a while. I want you to meet my mom and sister," he says as I watch the other guys exit the school. Justin watches me, and I tell him, "I'm heading to Brandon's place. I’ll see you later." I hop on my motorcycle while Brandon gets into his car, and I put on my helmet. When I arrive at Brandon's house, another vehicle is parked there. Moments later, Brandon pulls up and says, "My mom is home; let’s go inside." He opens the front door, and we enter the kitchen where a slim woman in her late thirties, with dark brown hair and brown eyes like Brandon’s, stands smiling. "Brand, you’re home, and you brought Ana! It’s nice to meet you, Ana," she says. "Nice to meet you too, Mrs...," I begin. "Call me Kateline,"
