                                              BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ
                          My phone blared as I groaned from being awake from my dreams.
                          "Hello?" I croaked.
                          "Good morning, my wildfire," my father greeted with eager laced in his voice.
                          "Hi daddy."
                          I yawned.
                          "Still sleeping?"
                          "Yes it's...", I said checking the time, "seven thirty."
                          "Ah that is too late for you to be sleeping but when you're here we'll hit the gym by six and start the day right after."
                          "uhuh"
                          "Okay well I'm calling to ask if your mother told you about the moving to London with me?"
                          "Yes she did."
                          "Wonderful, I need to go now. My business is in need of his CEO. Have a good day and I love you wildfire."
                          "Love you-" the disconnecting beep of a call made me pause, "daddy."
                          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
                           Walking to the ice-cream store, I passed the last place I spoke to Miguel.
                          The basketball court.
                          I saw him shirtless, dripping with sweat as he dribbled the ball.
                          He scored right into the netted basket and everyone gave him a high five or bro hug after his score.
                          His eyes landed on me looking at him and I continued my walking until I reached the ice-cream store.
                          "Good afternoon, I would like two scoop of cookies and creams with chocolate syrup in a waffle cone please."
                          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
                          "Katryn."
                          Someone yelled.
                          I found Keon jogging to me.
                          "Hey" I said.
                          "Can I have a lick?" He asked.
                          I stared at him.
                          He chuckled and pointed at my ice-cream with a grin. 
                          I smiled, nodding and giving him my ice-cream.
                          He smiled, "Thanks K" 
                          "So I hear you are moving to London soon. Is it true?" Keon asked.
                          "Yes, ending of the month."
                          "Yeah, your mother seems happy you are moving."
                          He said with a scrunch nose.
                          Keon may be one of my mother's gambling friends but he's the younger and acts as my older brother at times at least after furiously blushing the first time he grinned at me.
                          "You're precious baby." 
                          He grinned and hugged me.
                          When we are in front his house, we bid out farewells.
                          But I made eye contact with Michele who is leaning against a pole wearing a grey hoodie now.
                          I kept walking towards my mother's house.
