"Wake up my sweet grandchild! I
have a big day planned for us""Ugh 5 more minutes"
I pull my pillow closer as my grandma opens the blinds
"No way! Come one sleepy head I wanna show you something get ready"
I sigh and get up from my bed and walk to the bathroom and splash cold water on my face and look at the time
What on earth does she want to show me at 7 am on sunday morning.
I got ready and put on simple outfit
the fit>>
(if you dont like it pretend your wearing something else)
I walk down the grand staircase and make my way to kitchen to get something to eat
"Oh sweetie don't eat this crap ill take you to breakfast"
"Oh ok can we leave soon though im hungry"
"We are leaving now come on I just need to change"
I grab my small leather backpack put my new book, chapstick and my phone in the bag and walk out the door to see my grandma holding a purse in her hands and wearing this beautiful floral dress and green button up and pretty sunhat.
Keep in my mind my grandma was pretty young to be a grandma, she was only in her late 40s she had my mom was young too, I guess it just runs in the family.
"Grandma what are you wearing?"
"An outfit sweetie"
"We are just going to breakfast though?"
"Well sweetie I just like to look presentable" The car pulled up and the driver opened the doors "Oh hunny the cars here get in"
We sat down and drove off
I look at my grandma
"Is something wrong Dylan?"
"Why did you want me and mom here do bad?"
"Just lonely"
The car came to stop and as we got out of the car I see that the streets were filled with flowers and pictures of my grandmas sister. Would that make her my grandaunt? I don't even know this is so confusing. But why was she so important.
The second we started walking, people everywhere were bowing their heads, many saying sorry for you loss, few were crying and I didn't know if i should be crying too. I looked up to see my grandma waving and saying thank you and thank you over and over again.
"Come on dear we are gonna be late"
"Yeah okay sorry."
She put an arm around me and one my shoulder protecting me from the crowd. I really wanted to yell at everyone to shut up but that seemed rude and obiously she was pretty popular and I wasn't gonna be the one to ruin that.
As we walked I stayed a little behind cause I didn't like all the attention even though everyone kept asking me who I was.
We came to stop at a beautiful café with what it looks like a great selection of books
"Oh my! Isabell you're here Im sorry sorry about your sister, your breakfast is on the house dont worry about."
"Oh Lucy please its okay"
I discreetly hide behind my grandma scanning the bookshelf making a mental list of all the books that look interesting.
"Oh Lucy this is my grand daughter dylan" she nudged my shoulder and I
quickly focused my attention to the woman infront of me who seems closer then before."Hi im Dylan nice to meet you" I put my hands in my pockets
"Well its nice to meet you Dylan how old are you" She led the way to a table and me and my grandma sat down
"Oh uh 16"
"Thats nice, I have son that age, you know he should be here. Hes supposed to be helping me.. ugh where is that boy." She walked off in a rush after pouring us both a cup of coffee and gave us both a muffin.
"I think you and her son would get along, hes a very nice man."
"Grandmaaaa" we both giggle a little and take a sip of our coffee
"Oh what is taking Lucy so long" She got up from our table and went to the counter
I pulled out my book and started to read, I haven't gotten the chance to really sit down and enjoy it ever since I was in the store.
"Come on Lou just say hi"
This place was pretty loud for a café.
"No mom I'm not in the mood"
"Seriously what is wrong with you?! Ever since you got back you have been so. so. Weird I don't even know. Just please be nice she's Isabel's granddaughter."
"Fine."
I felt him getting closer then stop and stare at me but I try to ignore it honestly I agree I'm not in the mood either.
"Hey nice book"
I continue to look down and put my book on the table "Yeah It is" I rolled my eyes
The boy took the book and started walking away
"Hey!" I grab his arm and he turned around and we make eye contact
"Oh its you."
"Awww I missed this" he pouted, put the book down and gave me a hug
"Louis?! What the f-"
"Shhh" He put his finger above my mouth. He gently held my wasit and led me back to the table and we sat down. I look over to see my grandma and Lucy gossiping and drinking more coffee at the counter
"So hows the book?"
"I don't know yet, Ive been too busy with the move to start it"
"Oh well make time...When you starting school?"
"Tomorrow"
"Tomorrow?!"
"Yes tomorrow"
"Oh well I'll see you there" He got up and stopped at the door and smiled, He walked out and joined a group of kids and the two girls waved at me. I waved back just to be nice.
The second he got out of sight my grandma and Lucy came running
"Sooooo?"
"So what?"
"Please tell me he was nice"
"No Lucy he was so mean, he ruined my whole day."
"Please tell me your joking"
I burst out into laughter
"Im kiddinggg!!"
