School, Summer, School, Summer, Love? ( To Kill A Mockingbird)

Fighting - Chapter 2

Scout's POV

After they walked past the tree a little I made my break for the house. When I got home I went straight to bed, about 10 minutes or so later I hear them come in. I am so tired but I can't sleep, so I decided to count sheep. Then I hear Dill come in my room,"Whatta want Dill?" "To tell you somethin" "What?". He crawls into my bed before continuing, I wonder if he's going tell me everything. "It's somtin Jem told me" "What?" I don't want to let on that I already know, "He told me...." "Go on" "He said....that" "Dill, get to the point" "He said that you were being real annoying lately." "Oh?" "Yeah, I thought I shou-" "That it?" "Yeah that it" "Okay, night Dill" "Night, Scout?". I woke up the next morning alone, so I went downstairs and looked everywhere no one was home. I went to the kitchen and found Cal,"Whatcha doin'?" "Cooking, ya hungry?" "Starving!" "Good, and tonight for dinner dress nice your friend Walter Cunningham is coming with his family" "Okay?". I don't know why he's coming over I haven't talk to him in almost a year. Well this might just be what I need I'll have a friend to hangout with for when the boys leave me behind. I decided to wear my black dress, it is just casual enough to wear for dinner with the Cunningham's. When Walter and his family arrive so do Dill and Jem. I gave everyone in Walter's family a smile and asked him to play outside with me,"Sure, Scout" "Follow me" When I pass Dill he looks at me funny like he doesn't like me playing with Walter. "Walter over the summer do you wanna hangout with me more often?" "That's a weird question" "Well just anwser it please" "Sure I don't mind." After that we played, then went in side to eat, and after dinner they thanked us and left. "Why are you hanging out with him?" "What does it matter to you Dill?" "Nothing. You just never have hung out with him around me that's all." "Well he's my friend so get used to it Dill he'll be around a lot this summer." And with that I walked away, I'm still angry with him so I don't care if he doesn't like Walter.

The rest of the summer went by quickly. Walter and I, from what I would think have become the best of friends. Over the rest of the summer Walter and I only had a few fights with Jem and Dill. Mainly, Dill bugging Walter and Jem just went along with it. Tomorrow is my first day of grade 5. Today we're bringing Dill to the train station right know I'm getting dressed. I decided to just wear overalls. When I opened my bedroom door, Dill was standing there about to knock, "What do you want?" "To talk to you..." "What?" "I just wanted to say sorry about bugging you and Walter this summer...It was stupid of me. I was angry you had another boy-friend. Sorry, again" "It's okay. Dill I first started to hangout with Walter because you and Jem always ditched me." "Oh?" "Yeah, and we better get down stairs." "Yeah, I guess we should." We took Dill to the train station.

Next summer Dill came and he started to like Walter, Jem decided he was to old for us again. Jem had his first girlfriend, her name was Maggie they dated the entire summer. The first week into grade 6, Jem and Maggie broke up. Jem was heartbroken, he told Atticus that he loved her. He's crazy, love is for ADULTS, he's no where near an adult even if he thinks he is. A few months after Christmas Walter, asked me to go on a date with him. I said yes, after I told Atticus about and he told me to do what pleased. Tomorrow is my date with Walter, I asked Cal to help me pick out a dress, for my date tomorrow. She chose the purple dress for me to wear. The next day, I was so nervous but I didn't understand why so I asked a Cal "Cal, I think I'm sick" "Why would you say that baby?" "My tummy feels like I'm gonna get sick" "Hunny, that's called butterflies!" "I have butterflies in my stomach! Is that health?" "Hahahahaha, not real butterflies, it's a sayin', and that means you have feelings for Walter." "Oh?" "Yeah, baby". Walter came and got me from my house for our date. He took me out to the milkshake place, he had saved for 3 months to get us milkshakes. I felt really bad, but he demanded we got them. It was fun, he made me laugh, and he walked me home. The night was great and I was happy.
