Of all the things Andrea and Miranda expected to find in their living room when they came home, Caroline making out with a piercing-covered boy was not one of them. After a silent moment where they both just stared, Miranda and cleared her throat loudly. Both of the teenagers leapt to their feet.
"Who's your friend?" Andy asked.
"Um, my boyfriend, X-Ray," Caroline said, looking sheepishly at her feet, and Miranda raised one eyebrow.
"X-Ray?"
"Yeah," the boy said, grinning. "You know, like, I see right through people, dude. Like, their emotions and shit. Right into their soul."
"What exactly does my soul tell you I'm feeling right now?" Miranda asked icily, and upon seeing the look on her face, the boy quickly grabbed his backpack off the floor.
"I'll see you tomorrow, Caroline," he said in a rush, hurrying out the front door.
Caroline looked torn between outrage and embarrassment. "Mom, did you have to be so mean?"
"Caroline, go to your room," Miranda ordered, glaring at her, and the girl burst into tears and pushed past her, heading up the stairs. Miranda turned her gaze back to Andrea, looking resigned. "I can't forbid her to see him, can I? After all, she’s only sixteen…."
"Nope," Andrea said, smirking. "It'd just make her sneak around anyway. She's smart; she'll get tired of him. He sounded like an idiot.”
“He called me ‘dude’.” Miranda wrinkled her nose in disgust.
Andy laughed. “I think you scared him.”
“One can only hope.”
