His countenance changed my mood. Mass wasn't looking pretty anymore to me. I wanted to get over the whole church thing.

'what have I said or done, I only called him poor' I said to myself warily.

I looked at him one more time hoping he looked my way. He didn't. He was concentrating so hard, reciting the apostolic creed with the congregation. I could tell he was pretending. when he is done with the creed, I definitely will apologize again.

Time went by so fast. After the sacrament, I had my chance again.

"Hey! I am sorry I was just irritated by the smirk on your face" I said remembering the irritating smirk he had on, that warranted the name calling in the first place.

The couples ahead over heard us and turned again, with the is that why you are in church face".

But I cared less, all I wanted was for this cute guy with the sexy smirk, I confessed to myself, sitting close to me, to forgive me. he looked my way and nodded his head. I took that as a good sign. And decided to be more familiar, it wasn't a bad idea, I thought to myself, he was a very cute guy, so why can't I?

"I was thinking you weren't prepared to forgive me" I told him smiling,

"I wanted a chance to tell you what about the Holy communion you just had, you can't be in holy state and not forgive someone " he looked my way again and smiled.

I liked how the smile spread across his face, but why was he not making an effort, at least he should talk to me, say anything I wondered

"I'm Wendy" I introduced myself, trying again, hoping he will say something this time, Just anything, just so I Know, we were finally cool.

"Jeremy" he replied and stood up for benediction.

Jeremy, I said to myself, tasting the name on my lips. That was a good one, even if it wasn't what I expected, but I got his name which sounded nice. I stood up as the officiating priest ended the mass.

My family came towards me. I knew it was time to go. I turned to say goodbye to Jeremy, I found out he was gone, sadness took over me immediately. 'Where did my eye candy go?' but you just called him a pauper not too long ago, how come you referring to him as your eye candy?

Papa came standing in front of me, staring at me intensely. I knew that look, but I wasn't ready for it. I sluggishly followed them out of the church. Outside, friends stood around in groups saying hi to themselves and asking how the mass was, papa joined his friends while I searched for my "him", but he was no where in sight, where did he go? How did he disappear I kept asking my self.

"Snap out of it Wendy, let's go" my annoying sister came from behind, startling me. I followed her grudgingly to where papa parked his latest Audi Q5. My papa was a car freak and he wasn't afraid to spend his money on it.

As I was about entering papa's car someone came around and said "Bye Wendy"
I turned around only to find Jeremy moving away with some group of girls, he waved and turned his back. I felt relaxed, never realized I was tensed. This feeling was new, I entered papa's Q5

"New friend"
he asked strapping himself with the safety belt, before I could answer Ronda answered

"new boyfriend dad"

"shut up bitch" I said angrily at her

"words Wendy words" papa scolded "you just left church." He finished as he maneuvered his vehicle out of the church premises. I rolled my eyes, not liking how he was staring at me

"You made a new friend, today"

My dad wouldn't rest until he gets to the bottom of it. I wished he could drop it, but no he wouldn't, as long as his daughters were concerned he was concerned. He was a single father who knew all our friends. We never really made friends, but the few we had, papa knew them.

"No" I said. He looked at me with the "how then did he know your name look"

"I called him a pauper", I could see the shock in papa's eyes. We told our father the truth, no matter how hard it was.

"He ain't far from it" Ronda fired

"Ronda" papa said alarmed. Staring at her from the rearview mirror

"What dad, Wendy is right, did you take a look at him?" she asked papa

"I hoped you apologized" papa said ignoring my sister, he knew her so well, ignoring her when she was been silly was her medicine to shut the hell up.

"Yes sir" I replied papa, "Then I introduced myself, that's how he got to know my name", I said and got out of the car, since he already stopped in front of our house. I wasn't ready for more questioning.

Papa understood that and he let me be.
