The Summer Of Grey

Chapter 23

Chapter 23

Okay so maybe the story is getting too safe and boring so I thought its time to get it going again!
...........................
School has been so freakin busy lately, so many big tests to take the SAT's ,ACT's, mid Terms not to mention all the pressure to make the decisions I'll have to make in order to be an adult. I haven't even decided where I want to go to college yet. I always dreamed of going out of state to an Ivy League like Yale but Christian is going to USF which is like 15 minutes from where we live and I don't want to be separated from him. His dad went to Medical schools in Seattle and Tampa and I think Christian feels obligated to follow in his footsteps even though he's told me he would someday like to be the CEO of his own communications company. I could see him running a big company like a boss!

He said maybe after a year at USF he would figure a way to transfer to Washington state maybe I should apply there too I could study English literature or something. I could see myself in book editing one day, the perfect job for the introverted!

I told my mom that I would like to just go to community college for a year until I can make a positive decision about my future and she was disappointed, I mean I guess I can take some classes at USF but its not my first choice and since I haven't applied I have no choices. Right now I'm going to focus on High school for the next 6 months and maybe I'll have a better idea of what I would like to do with my life.

I love art but I don't think I want to spend my life as a struggling artist. It's something I can do on the side for now. I would really like to work in a quiet stress free environment doing something I enjoy and books and art go hand in hand , maybe I could illustrate children's books and be an editor too. Yes that seems like a good fit for me but I still need time to think about it.

The weather has been slightly cold outside the past few weeks and I really love it. In the mornings it's like 35 degrees sometimes and by noon it's usually around 65. It's a nice change from being in the mid 90's most of the time. Every girl needs some cold weather so we can put on a baggy sweater and some boots or a cute hat and gloves and just cover up for a while.

Most people think how lucky we are being in the heat year round but I would give anything to see some snow. Next Christmas I'm going somewhere really cold and snowy so I can build a snowman and drink hot chocolate while looking out a frosty window overlooking snow filled streets and holiday shoppers. I'd better get a job again soon and start saving. Christian and I had fun this week, we went ice skating and took a few long drives and pretty much spent every minute together the past 6 days.

Christian had a really bad cough yesterday and he went to the doctor, he is on antibiotics for a sinus infection and he has a nasty cold. He was coughing so bad I felt awful. I hope I don't get sick too. I offered to bring him soup but he didn't want me to get sick so I guess I won't see him until he gets back to school. I'm going to stop by today anyway and bring him a little care package with some cough drops, lollipops, a box of tea and some soup from Panera.

Tomorrow is back to school and I'm stuck on the stupid bus until my baby is all better. I spoke to him before and he said he will probably be out all week. He could not stop coughing the whole time. I told him we can just Skype so I can see him and so he doesn't have to talk.

Back to school was interesting today. Everyone by the lockers was talking about what they did over the holidays and all the gifts they received. It was funny listening to how some of the girls were practically competing about who got better gifts. That's so dumb. I mean I love my gifts from Christian but I wouldn't have cared if he didn't buy me anything as long as I was with him that's a good enough gift for me.

There is a new guy in my Math class named Sean Sylar who just moved here from NY. He was seated next to me and we began talking about NYC and I told him I was originally from Staten Island and the rest of my family is from Brooklyn. He is originally from Massapequa Long Island but has lived in Manhattan for the past 4 years. The conversation was very casual until I looked up and took notice of him. (Damn he is super sexy! Okay Christian is sexier but this guy is hot. Ana you have a boyfriend who you love, I'm only looking, just gawking and besides even if I didn't have a boyfriend this guy is as usual out of my league)
