Dear August

chapter 6

Kady's POV:
I really was uncomfortable for no reason, I was fine until he asked about tris. I swallowed big trying to come up with something to say but I just couldnt, I couldn't depend on my voice.

I just nod hoping maybe he would change the subject which he finally did. "So, kady, how is the school here?"

I was kind of caught off guard by his brother who walked through the room wearing a panda onesie. "Erm it's good... good teachers, good kids" I just watched his brother walked back and forth in his unique outfit choice. "Ok, what's with the panda walking through your house?" I started to crack up, he turns around to find his brother mimicing bigfoots walk. He just looked at him and then looked back at me "I'm sorry about anything he does in advance." He whispers to me. I couldn't control my laughter. It was one of those moments where it's not that funny but you still histarically laugh anyways.

His mom came in and told us she was going to bed and his brother had gone into his bedroom and didn't come out for awhile. So we were just sitting in the dining room all alone, we talked for a while trying to make conversation and get to know each other. I found out he had just moved here from Europe because his dad died and he was 5'11 and he had only ever dated two people ever, also he strongly believed in 'treat people the way you want to be treated'. I had a new respect for him now because he opened up to me, I knew it was the first time we had ever talked but he seemed like and amazing person.

He yawns and looks at the clocked which is blinking 10:53. "OK, kady it's getting late but I have one more question" I yawned and shook me head. "OK so optimist, realist, or pessimist?"

"I'd like to think I'm a little of all, but probably a realist or maybe a pessimist..." I shrug my shoulders.

"Interesting" he rubs his eyes. I stand up, indicating I need to go "well kady it was great meeting you, I'll see you tomorrow."

"Goodnight august." I walk to my house all alone. Left thinking about today. This was the first time I actually just stopped and thought about everything that happened. I could just feel a hot stream run down my face, realizing everything, I felt like I could just lay down on the road and cry, but I knew I needed to get home so I wouldn't worry my mom. I tiptoed to my room and just laid on my bed until I fell asleep.

*BEEP BEEP BEEP*
My alarm buzzes indicating I need to wake up. Then I heard a loud boom right outside my door, I jumped up and cautiously walked to the door, grabbing my hairbrush before I opened it. There was nothing there... I closed the door and walked to my vanity and started to brush my hair. BOOM! The same loud sound startled me again, I run to the door with my brush again and I swung the door open. There were bright flashes from my parents camera, then my mom and dad engulfed me in a huge hug "happy birthday baby." my mom gets out between sobs. After my mom let's go and steps to the side my dad grabs me "my baby girls growing up. Kady Nicole Hollins, 18 years old." He starts to get choked up.
