"She was really nice, and i feel like this can turn something good." I tell grandpa as we're sitting on the couch.
Sarah and i spent almost whole afternoon together, there wasn't a moment were there was queitness, awkward or not. We talked about our lives and our dreams, what we wanna do in the future.
What i like most is that i feel that she is interested to get to know me as well and that is not a familiar to me.
Most of the time back home i felt that i was the one who were more interested to getting to know someone than the other party for me. I always was the one who asked how other person is doing and all those real questions what people usually wish to be asked.
Example, i'm not at all small talk person. When i'm getting to know someone i wanna know what they are really about.
But i've learned that you don't always have to be the first one who asks how is the other person doing or carrying too much responsibility that the person you're talking to feels welcomed, appreciated and heard.
But that doesn't mean that you wouldn't treat them with respect and humility. It's just that sometimes you have to do it more distant way.
"I told you, everything will workout." He says as he eyes the newspaper.
"yeah, hate to admit but you were right." I snicker and then mom comes to the downstairs.
"Are you again here teasing grandpa." Mom hints, jokingly with a smile and comes to the doorway.
"My whole existence depends on that mom." I smirk at her.
"Oh, dear lord." Grandpa sighs.
I laugh and pat his knee. "Oh, you never believe where Sarah asked me to come." I quickly say as the excitement invades me.
Mom looks at me with curiosity in her eyes, waiting for me to tell.
"New York." I smile.
"What?" Both of them ask in a hint of shock.
"W-well, she said that there's an Elvis concert and she wants to attend and then she asked me to come with her." I explain to them. "Apparently it's weird that i'm not a fan to this guy."
"And for a good reason." Grandpa scoffs. "What that man has done to our culture is...frivilous and is the reason to the fact why people — especially youth nowdays are irresponsible."
"We have just moved here and already you're leaving to different city. Maybe it would better to adjust here first." Mom reasons and comes sit to the armchair.
"It's not until june 9th." I explain.
"Please let me go. Mom you were the one to encourage me to go get to know Sarah and now there's the possibility. In fact, when we are just the two of us going it surely can deepen our friendship." I basically beg with hands crossed.
"I think, it's a bad idea." Grandpa goes to his cabinet and takes a bottle from there, and pours a drink to his glass.
Yeah grandpa, that's a good idea. You might become a more lenient.
"Are you sure of this?" Mom asks, uncertain.
"Yes, it would be great to see new places. And like i said, i wouldn't be alone."
I look at both of them. Grandpa is leaning to the cabinet and mom's looking at him and then to me.
"I guess we can't stop grown-up woman." Mom gives in.
I feel like grandpa rolls his eyes...i'm sure of it. I look at his direction and he takes a sip from his drink. "What your mother said." He says and comes sit back next to me.

I look at the clock and it's 11 pm. I've spent remainder of evening reading, and the book that i'm currently reading is Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. I wasn't before into reading timeless classics because i've thought that they are pretty boring, but now reading this...i love it.
The books character's are interesting and endearing. Especially Protagonist Elizabeth Bennet's sisters who are so frivilous and pompous. In the other words, cringe but usually those characters are the ones that you can find yourself in them.
More so than the main character.
I wish i could be like Elizabeth. That kind of courage to be your ownself without caring the society's opinions and this book shows that even though you aren't from the golden family, you can be so much more educated, and have a sense of who you are.
Elizabeth in this book has defenetely all the other characters confidence in herself.
I put the bookmark on the book and close it and put it on my nightstand, and turn the lamp off.
I lay down on my bed and pull the duvet. I'm really suprised how things has moved so fast. Yesterday i just moved in and tonight not even all my stuff was dismantle when i got a new friend (hopefully.) and we're already planning a trip to the different city.
My eyes start to get sleepy from my internal thoughts and i let the sleep take over me.
Little bit short chapter, but sometimes it can reveal much more from the person. Next ones i promise, will be more exciting and lengthier.
With love 💙
