“Um, oh yeah.” I said trying to keep myself from blushing, “Mom, this here is Stacks. She goes to my school.” I said trying not to sound or act dorky. And then I introduced my parents to Stacks, “This here is my mom and John… I mean my dad.”
“Hello Stacks. It’s a pleasure to meet one of Alvin’s friends,” John said and I was remarkably shocked at how he wasn’t doing or saying anything stupid to embarrass me, like he has always done in the past when meeting one of my friends for the first time.
Stacks smiled politely at my parents and said, “Actually, it’s Hillary. Stacks is just a nickname.”
