I Wish

Chapter 10

I woke up to the sweet sound of irresistible by one direction from my phone's alarm that I set. It was 8:00 am. I slowly got up and decided to get breakfast.

I greeted my parents in the kitchen and started to pour some cereal.

"What are your plans for today?" My dad asked me looking through his glasses at me over the newspaper.

"I'm gonna go meet a friend at the cafe near the mall around 11:30. Is that ok?" I asked my him.

"Sure. We're gonna be at work all day," my mom replied to the question.

"Ok," I said through a mouthful of cereal. They both left the kitchen and left for work. I stood in the kitchen tapping my fingers on the counter. It was now about 8:30 I had a while until I had to meet Kaden.

"What to do what to do...." I said as I wandered around the house. My mom always said that of I get bored I should clean but that's definitely not going to happen. I walked downstairs into the basement and sat down at my piano.

A lot of people didn't know that I sang and played the piano. And the guitar. I've always been really embarrassed about it though because I was afraid of people thinking I wasn't good.

I sat down in the familiar piano bench and started playing the all too familiar instrument. I sat peacefully as my fingers moved all over the piano as I played Perfect by Hedley.

I kept playing for around an hour and then decided to shower before I left. I took a quick shower and started to do my makeup. I did it light as always but changed up the eyeshadow a bit and added some light pink lipstick.

I changed into the outfit that Sky picked out for me. After this, I curled my hair into soft loose curls before adding a black beanie as it was cold out and I'd be walking to the cafe.

I put on my boots, jacket, and mitts and left to go to the cafe. It took about 15 minutes to get there. From the entrance I could see Kaden sitting at a table by himself.

I walked in and he smiled once he saw me. I smiled back and sat down across the table from him.

"Hey,"he said shyly. He was wearing a red plaid button up shirt and a pair of jeans. His hair was the way it looked always. Messily flopped on his head but in the way that it looks like its supposed to be that way without trying.

"Hey," I smiled at him.

"Do you want something to drink?" He asked me.

"Sure," I said standing up to get in line. Kaden followed behind me and stood beside me. We stayed in a sort of awkward silence until we both ordered our drinks and sat down again.

"Thanks for coming," Kaden said smiling at me.

"No problem. It's always fun to hang out with you," I told him. He smiled and took a drink of his coffee. "I don't know that much about you so let's play that question game," he suggested. I nodded in response.

"Family," he stated.

"That's not a question, but it's just me and my parents. You?" I told him.

"I have a little sister and an older sister who's in university now and my mom. My parents divorced when I was ten," he told me. He was lucky to have siblings. Sometimes at my house it can be lonely.

"What's your biggest fear?" I asked him.

I learned a lot about Kaden at the cafe. His favorite color is blue, he hates snakes from a childhood incident, he has moved around a lot, and a bunch of other stuff.
