Aurelia's diary: Between Chicago skies

3. A disaster dinner

I arrived at home.

Me: ''Hi, mom! Where should I put the eggs?''

Mom (Eliza): ''Hi, sweetie, put the eggs on the table, thanks!''

Me: ''You are welcome!''

Me: ''When are the guests arriving?''

Mom (Eliza): ''After 30 min, you should get ready!''

Me: ''Yes, I will''

Then I went to my room to get ready. I picked a white floral dress with white shoes and some rose gold earrings. Lastly, I brushed my hair and did light make up.

Guests arrived. I was the one who welcomed them in.

Me: ''Hello, it's so nice to meet you all!''

Ethan's mom (Stacy): ''Oh, you must be Aurelia, right?''

Me: ''Yes, I am, please come in!''

Then they came in, put down their coats and shoes and entered our house.

Women (Stacy): ''Hi Eliza, I haven't you seen for ages! How are you?''

Mom (Eliza): ''Oh hi Stacy! I have been good, you?''

Ethan's mom (Stacy): ''I have been good, thanks!''

Mom and Stacy talked for a long time.

Mom (Eliza): ''Everyone find your seats, food is ready!''

I was first to sit in front of the table, I was hoping that Ethan wouldn't dare to sit beside me, but guess what? He did. I would have changed seats, but there were no free chairs left.

Mom served us a dish with roasted potatoes, chicken, green salad and some homemade lemonade. It was so delicious! While we waited for the dessert, my mm started to talk with Ethan, she had to catch up a little after 4 years.

Mom (Eliza): ''Ethan, can you tell us a bit about yourself? What are your plans for the future?''

Ethan: ''Oh, yeah of course, a while ago I decided, that I want to become a doctor, so right now I'm concentrating on Biology, Chemistry and Math.''

Me: ''A doctor, huh?''

Ethan heard me and turned around to face me.

Ethan: ''Is there any problem with that?''

Me: ''Um no, I just didn't expect you to choose that profession.''

Ethan: ''Oh okay''

Then after some quite time, Ethan's mom Stacy broke the silence.

Ethan's mom (Stacy): ''Aurelia, would you mind telling us about your future plans as well as Ethan did?''

Me: ''Of course, I'm studying to become a lawyer''

Ethan: ''A Lawyer? That's interesting''

Then everyone turned their faces to him

Ethan: ''What? I'm just saying it's interesting.''

Ethan's mom (Stacy): ''Thanks, Aurelia!''

I smiled at her and nodded.

After a while Ethan wanted to get the drink, but it was on the other side of the table.

''Hey, give me the lemonade'' Ethan said quietly

Me: ''No, you can just get up and go take it''

Ethan: ''That's not nice from you!''

Then he stood up with his empty glass and went to get some lemonade himself. Making his way back, he accidentally splashed my white dress with lemonade.

Me: ''ETHAN! WHAT DID YOU DO?! Are you crazy?''

Ethan: ''Ups, my bad.''

Ethan's mom (Stacy): ''Ethan! Apologize to her! Now!''

Ethan: ''Okay, whatever, I'm sorry.''

Me: ''It doesn't seem that you meant it.''

Mom (Eliza): ''Aurelia! Take the apologize! It was just an accident!''

Me: ''OKAY!''

And then I stood up and went upstairs to my room. I was so angry at him. And I'm 100% sure that it wasn't an accident.

I changed my dress and went downstairs to say goodbye to our guests of this evening.

Ethan's mom (Stacy): ''Before we leave, I and Eliza have gotten you Ethan and Aurelia a present, so open up!''

We both were pretty surprised. We took the gift, opened and saw 3-day trip card to Canada.

Ethan: ''Um... what is this supposed to mean?''

Me: ''Yeah''

Mom (Eliza): ''So...we know what happened a little time ago, so we want you guys be friends again and that's why you both are going on a trip together!''

Me and Ethan: ''What?!''

Ethan's mom (Stacy): ''That's for your own good! I suggest you to pack your bags, because your plane is leaving at 7AM tomorrow.''

We both were too stunned to speak, but the only thing we said was okay. IDK how I agreed to this.

Then they said goodbye and I went to my room to pack my bags. When Ethan was home, he started to pack too.
