The Bucket List

Chapter 6

The Bucket List Chapter 6: My mom helped me into the car, I wore a bandana so it covered my head. That’s the down side of having chemo and cancer. If you have no hair, people stare. They stare like you’re an alien, like you don’t belong. It hurts truthfully. I just want to be treated the same. I pressed a button in the car and music started playing. Some strange song, came on, it was bad, scratch that it was beautiful. It spoke to me, it made me love myself for who I am. “That was One Direction, with their song Little Things. Watch out ladies, the boys are here in London done with their tour. Now here’s another song.” Another song came on, but I paid no attention to it. Little Things. I took my journal and wrote little things on the top with the date and my feelings, plus what had happened. That was the second page. I already wrote on the first page. “You think I can go get some Starbucks? Then go for a walk mom by myself. I want to enjoy the sun.” She was hesitant. “Sure, but call me if you need me to get you or anything, not be out too long.” I nodded she dropped me off at Starbucks and left. I walked in and ordered a water since I didn’t know what to get. I couldn’t find a seat, they were all taken. I saw an empty seat with a boy sitting next to it. I walked over it him. “Do you mind if I sit here for a while?” I asked sweetly. “Go ahead love.” he said. He had a deep husky voice and curly brown hair. He was wearing sunglasses. “Why are you wearing sunglasses? You aren’t next to a window?” “I don’t want to be seen.” he said. I gave him a confused look but just nodded. “Why are you wearing a bandana?” I didn’t know what to say. “Uhmm, it’s the new trend.” I lied. He chuckled and smiled revealing adorable dimples.
