Witt Parkinson

As a Day Past

September :15

I made my way downstairs to hear my mom on the phone with someone.
She sounded Happy... i havent heard her pitchy 80's mom voice in a while.

"Ya.. ok, no problem!"

I peele around the corner.

"Mom? Who were you talking too?"

"Oh Witt it was your friend charlie?, she called too see if you can hang out tonight i said sure you... you can right"

"Uh...sure but how'd she get our number"

"School registry? Maybe... but anyway! She is going to come over to pick you up, i think your going with your other friends as well"

"Um...have you asked what i should wear?"

"Just...through on something Hip"
I have officialy a 'Hip' type of mom.

"Mom! "

I was in such utter shock she had the odacity to say 'Hip'

Its always my mom.

"Ok ok! Just...your shorts or something"

"Ya ok.."

I made my way upstairs in still disbelief that charlie got my number.
I opened my closet too see what utter disaster of cloths was waiting for me.

Ok lets see...what can i wear.

I start too peel cloths off hangers and throwing them on my bed untill i found my beach shorts, my beetles shirt and a beanie.
I make my way downstairs and halfway out my room i hear my mother.

"Hey! You must be charlie,
witts getting ready upstairs"

..she is in my house.
I thought too myself.

I make my way downstairs bracing myself for embarrassment.
I think every kid has had a mother embarrassing moment.

I pretended like it was still me and my mother in the house as i made my way around the corner.

"Mom do you think this outfit is ok?"

"Yea witty"

I remembered that voice and even though i know she is here i pretended charlie wasnt.

"Hey charlie!"

"Whats up witt, are you ready?"

"Ya but where ...exactly are we going..?"

"Dont worry itll be fun."

She was keeping something from me.
We made our way out the door as quick as ever to avoid as many Mother moments as possible.

"Alright mom were out"

"Ok be safe, what time are you guys getting home!?"

I looked at charlie as if she had the answer.

"Id say 10:00 the latest"

"Well...alright , nice meeting you charlie!"

"You Too Ms.Parkinson "

Mothers.

We made our way into the car and saw Erick's Car.

"Whats up guys"

"Hey witt" Erick said.

"Hey hun" Darling said.

and we pulled out the driveway.

I recognized the street but yet again i just moved.

"Where are we going?

"were going to 'forest jam' "

"Wasn't that supposed to be a while ago? "

"Ya but we had trouble with the weather co-operating

We pulled up too a open woodland area and we made our way out the car.

"Here it is..."

"Here...?"

It seemed too shady of an area.

"Yep. Lets go inside, we just got to walk a bit"

We made our way Into the woods and approached a LOUD noise, like blasting music, there were red solo cups everywhere, Flashing lights a very old barn house that seems too where everyone is and quite a lot of people.

"Thats it...?"

"Yep.. forest jam"

---------------------------------------

As we made our way past kissing teens and drunken beans we came up to the barn,
Erick and Darling went right in as me and charlie sort of just stood like a deer in headlights.

"Have you ever been to a party witt?"

"No not necessarily..."

"Ok well, lets go in"

As soon as we walked inside a podent oder of hay and sweaty armpits hit us and knocked me a few steps back,
I could tell in charlies face that its awful everytime she comes.

She brought me over too a table that had multi- foods on it
The usual party stuff.

Nearly yelling at me over the loud music charlie said.

"Ill be right back witt im a go see when the show is gonna start"

"Ok!..."

She left and i scanned the table, i immediately noticed a huge bowl of wet gummy bears, it didnt seem harmful and it didnt have a smell due to all the sweat glands passing by your nose.

So i picked up a cup and grabed a few of the gummy bears and started to eat them, they kind of had a almost too chewy, soaked in water for a year type feel.

Charlie came back and i started feeling a bit bubbly.

"Hey! Witt im..."

She stopped in the middle of her sentence and noticed me with the cup.

"Charlie these are good, what are they?"

"Witt are you eating gummy bears?"

"Well ya , but it does seem a bit odd for you guys to soak them right?"

She chuckled a bit.

"Witt...thos are...your eating vodka..."

"Really?, i never had alcohol, kinda makes me feel fuzzy "

I started to giggle as she looked under the table for something.

"Here Witt drink this"

"What is it?"

"Its just water witt..."

"Oh.."

I grabbed the water from her hands a took a few sipps.

"Well the song starts in a couple of minutes and i think we should go outside to relaxe a bit"

"Huh?"

"Come witt...

She took my hand and pulled me outside, it felt tingly untill i realized i was holding her hand and my heart started to race.

We made our way outside on too a little perch by a tree.
