The Truth Behind a Smile #21

When i say unthinkable, i mean really unthinkable. Never in a lifetime would i have expected this to happen.
"What are you thinking, Matt?" someone screamed from behind me. Matt and i jumped apart. I heard a gate click shut. I turned around and running straight towards us was Matt's mom.
"Were you actually thinking of kissing her?" his mom asked. The way she said her was the someone would talk about vomit or a bug. Not a person. My face flushed beet red.
"Is that a bad thing?" Matt said.
"That's a horrible thing! She's a- she's a-"
"Mom, she has a name!" I had a feeling i knew what Matt's mom was about to say. And after Matt found out, everything would be over between us and he'd regret ever trying to kiss me. Or even wanting to.
"Do you know anything about her?" I squeezed my eyes shut. "Did she tell you anything about her family?"
"No, not really!"
"Then i can see why you'd think of kissing her! This, this filthy girl."
"What did you just call Macy?"
"I never want you seeing her again." I wanted to be anywhere but here.
"What'd she ever do to you?"
"Matt, people like us and people like her don't belong in the same world."
"What are people like her?"
"Drunks." I opened my eyes again. "And she's too scared to admit that." Matt looked at me with confusion plain on his face. And then he said the one thing i had never dreamed of anyone saying.
"I dont care, Mom. I'm in love with her."
