The Summer of Changes

three

~Ellie Reynolds~

I fell asleep while reading a book called 'Gracefully Grayson'. Its a beautiful book and everyone should read it. I woke up at about 10 am so I decided to go take a shower.

It put on some blue jeans, all white sk8-hi high top vans, and a graphic t- shirt that said 'lol. ur not lana del rey'. I guess you could tell that I'm literally in love with Lana Del Rey.

I had my hair in a ponytail, as always, and my glasses. I looked in the mirror of my bathroom and stared at myself. I look pretty but I don't feel pretty. And trust me, there is a difference.

"Ellie!" Maddie called me.

I went downstairs and I was hit with the smell of pancakes, bacon, and eggs. It smelled like heaven.

"Morning Maddie." I sat down in one of the island chairs.

"Morning Ellie." She put down a plate of food in front of me. I thanked her and I began to eat. Then came in Luca.

And then my mood of happiness went away. Do you guys see how a person greatly affects someones mood?

"Hey Madd." He said and sat down. Maddie put food in front of him and instantly he dug in.

They must be close for him to be barging in here, and eating breakfast here like he has no sense.

I must have been staring at him because he looked up from his food and raised an eyebrow at me.

I shook my head and looked away. After ten minutes we finally left the house because Luca's greedy self ate two plates. I took my phone and my moms credit card, just in case.

We got into his range rover. It was beautiful.

"So where do you want to go?" He asked pulling out of the driveway .

This is the first sentence he's ever said to me without insulting. I'm really shocked.

"I want to go to a bookstore." I said smiling. I really need some new books. I did not bring any with me except for 'Gracefully Grayson' and i'm almost finished with that.

"What?" He made a grimace.

"I want to go to a bookstore." I repeated slower like I was talking to a child.

I was speaking English wasn't I?

"You get to choose anywhere to go in the city and you choose the bookstore?" He shook his head at me like I was making a terrible mistake.

"Look I said that I want to go to the bookstore. That's it. Now can you just please take me there?" I asked him rolling my eyes.

I am so tired of him having a problem with everything about me.

First he says that I dress badly, then he says that I am not beautiful, then he says that I'm not pretty, and now he wants to criticize the fact that I want to go to a place of books. I haven't even known him for a full day and i'm tired of him.

We get to the book store within ten minutes and I'm honestly grateful because one, I don't have to be stuck in a small space next to Luca and two, books!!

I hop out of the car before it's even parked and go to the bookstore. It was called 'McNally Jackson Books'(This is an actual bookstore but its in New York City and its so cool). Books were hanging from the ceiling.

I don't know if Michael followed along behind me but I really didn't care. I was in book heaven and I could die.

I went to the non-fiction section. I usually only read non-fiction books but ill read fiction every once in a while.
