Silver Soul

Dear Mother

It was Saturday morning the room felt a bit colder than usual,i guess fall is coming quicker than I expected. I rubbed my sleepy eyes trying to adjust my blurry vision,next to me sat the bowl of brown grapes from last night. I felt guilty for almost letting Descamps kiss me yesterday he was nothing but trouble,I mean he didn't even helped with the project.

I got up walked myself to the bathroom,I stopped my tracks and leaned against the wooden staircase rails. My father was on the phone he looked quite tired I wonder if he stayed up late last night?

"Alright tonight at six son"my father said

Tonight at six? What's going on tonight? I didn't think much of it and did my usual morning routine.

I was back in my room brushing my tangled hair,I'm surprised that my hair brush hasn't broke yet. When my hair was brushed out and puffy I did a fast braid. I had to take my morning smoke outside but feared that I was going to see the one eyed boy. I walked outside my balcony still wearing my black silk sleeping gown that reached up to my thigh.My face hit the cold Saturday morning air. It was sunny outside and the cold weather made it even better. I saw the neighborhood waking up. People were walking on the streets leaving their homes for the day. I see local businesses closed signs turn to open.

Some strands of hair were falling off the braid so I just tucked them behind my ears. The sound of the lighter turning  on is like music to my ears. I felt the big cloud of smoke in my lungs,and smelt the smoke when I blew it out. The relax sensation my body felt after the first puff made shivers run down my spine. Or so I thought

It wasn't the cigarette that made feel chills it was the boy across the street that was staring right at me.

His hair was a miss he probably just woke up like me. He had on navy blue matching pajamas and brown slippers. And of course his unforgettable leather eye patch. How can someone that just rolled out of bed look so damn attractive. It's not fair boys have it easier. One brush through his hair and he would be ready for the day,but for me I had to go through multiple steps just to look presentable.

"Morning" said the one eyed boy
"Morning" I responded dry,I wasn't sure if we were in an awkward situation or not. I was leaning against the railing forgetting I had on my silk night gown, but Descamps took notice right away.
"What a wonderful view to wake up in the morning" he said with that annoying devilish smirk.
"Thanks for ruining my morning Descamps" I rolled my eyes at him and walked back to my room,I was an idiot why on earth would I go out in this short night gown in public.

I decided to wear my black dress with my cozy white cardigan and some white ankle socks and my black loafers. I didn't want to wear heels because I will be walking a couple of blocks. I went down stairs were I bumped into my older brother in the kitchen.

"Where are you going?" Sebastian asked
"I'm visiting mom today"
"And you didn't bother to ask if I wanted to join?"
I lead out a big sigh "Sebastian would you like to come with me to visit mother"
"No it's okay you get your own time with her and I'll go tomorrow" he said while giving me a sassy smirk

"Waist of time" I poked at him
"Waist of life"he spoke back
I shoved him into the pantry door making him slam his entire body on the door and shaking the house windows. I made him drop his bread with jam on the floor.
"Come back and make me a new one you asshole"my brother yelled but I just kept walking ignoring him.
I had packed a basket for myself with water strawberries and some crackers with a new packet of cigarettes. I also decided to bring my Latin,and math homework/notes and a novel that Annick recommended.

Before I could open the front door I heard my brothers footsteps approaching me,was he actually being serious about me making him a new slice of bread and jam?
"Hey before you go dad left early this morning he told me that Jean Pierre called" my brother said
"Is everything okay?"
"Ya they wanted to have dinner with us tonight so be home before four okay they're coming at six"
"Why does everyone want to have dinner with us?" I asked my brother
"Not sure but be back before four okay,oh don't forget your wallet they charge now to go into the cemetery you know"
"Are you serious that's so awful" I yelled
