Skylar's Crush

Chapter 4

It was another weekend. Many families came to the summer homes on weekends. It was a Saturday and my dad was hanging out with his friends so I decided to go to the colony where he was hanging out.. so I could see Riley. I put on a floral dress, did my hair, and put on makeup. "Where are you going so dressed up? You know.. ever since we came.. you have been thinking so much about what you look like. Is there someone you are trying to impress?" My mom asked. "Um.. uh.. no! Psh who would I want to impress? Let's be honest Mom!" I said. "Alright, but if whoever you're trying to impress is the one.. then he wouldn't judge you by looks." My mom said. "Uch.. Mom.. I just want to look nice! Not to impress anyone! I want to look good." I said. I was surprisingly a good liar that one time. I walked up hill slowly so I wouldn't sweat. I didn't like looking sweaty.. especially in front of Riley. Why am I SO OBSESSED? I thought. I think it was because it was my first crush. When I got to the colony I got greetings from all of my family. "Wow Skylar! You look so pretty!" They said or "Beautiful!". Did I get ONE compliment from any kid my age.. NO! Of course not! I was close to the field and I started talking to some kids who were about nine. I talked about old memories from when I was about seven. I knew a lot of people before the summer (from the summer home), but all of the people I knew were about ten years old and below. I walked up to my dad's friend's bongalow and saw my dad, sitting, and eating food (as always). It was one of the main reasons he liked coming to his friend's houses. (To come and eat all of their food.) It amazed me how he can eat so much, and not be fat at all. When I ate a small bite of something, I gained loads. In the summer I lost a lot of weight because of all te excersize I did, and watching what I ate. I walked around to try to find Riley. I saw my friend Michael. "Hey Mike!" I said. "Hey Skylar! Did you watch the latest episode of that show I told you about?" he said. "Actually.. no. I have been  doing a lot of other things lately." I said. "Oh.. well I'll see ya later!" he said and then waved to me before he went back into his house. I waved back. I saw Dylan. "Oh hey! Wanna talk!" I asked. "Um.. will you tell me who your crush is?" he asked. "Um.. no." I said in an annoyed way. "Then bye!" He said and then rode his scooter away. "Well that was mean.. why would he act like that all of a sudden?" I thought to myself.
