>>>Lennon's Pov<<<
The bus dropped me off at my house. Miranda and Riley asked if they could come over, I told them no because I had stuff to do later with my family. My dad said that we would be going to a dinner tonight for his work; In all honesty I didn't want to go; because I still had to talk to Isaac and Zach about some things.
"Lennon?" My mom called for me in the kitchen. I walked into the kitchen to what she needed of me. "How was school?" She asked as she saw me enter the room.
I shrugged, "It was the same as every school day. Miranda and Riley wanted to come over today."
She gave me a look, "They can't because we're going to daddys banquet thing tonight."
"I know," I rolled my eyes, "I already told them."
My mom walked up to me and gave me a hug, "Hey, I know you don't wanna go, but neither do I... So let's suffer together, while you look beautiful." She grabbed a bag that was behind the counter.
"What's this?" I asked.
She kissed my forehead, "Go upstairs and look for yourself."
I eagerly ran upstairs to my room and dumped the bag out onto my bed. I was in awe! These clothes were very beautiful, and very expensive. It was a white dress that faded into sparkles at the bottom, and black stilettos. Very beautiful.
While I slid it on I started to think of how I was gonna do my hair. A bun was the first that I popped into my head. I quickly did my makeup, and then fixed my bun. I wore one of my necklaces, and complimented myself in the mirror.
Text Message: Zach Lanter
Hey Len, just wanted to apologize for being a total dick. Maybe we could hang out again sometime?
I angrily tossed my phone back on my bed. I rolled my eyes and let out a sigh. Was I acting childish? Was I the one at fault? Should he even apologize? My heart started to beat faster, I don't know if it was an angry beat, or sad beat, but I clicked on my phone and decided to text him back.
Me: Hey Zach, I can't talk rn... I'm about to be at a banquet, maybe later we can talk
Text Message: Zach Lanter
Ok, that's cool! :) well, just shoot me up a text later... peace out cutie
I shoved my phone into my small purse, and walked downstairs to my parents. My sister did everything in her power not to go. She wasn't the type of person who liked to be patient for food, or for anything in that matter. Sydney turned to face me as I walked entered the room, she let out a gasp, "Lennon? You look astonishing, where did you get that?"
"Momma." I smiled, "And thank you."
She looked at my mom with her jaw dropped, "Do I have one?"
My mom shook her head, "No, because you have more dresses than Lennon does, so therefore you may choose from your closet. Now hurry so we can leave."
Sydney rolled her eyes and stomped upstairs to her room to get ready. "How long are we gonna be there?" I asked as I sat at the bar.
My dad grabbed something out of the fridge and then smiled at me, "Hmm, I think about a good four to five hours."
A giggle escaped my mouth, "That's enough time to kill someone, or have a baby."
"Those are two things, that we will not be doing tonight." My dad chuckled, "Well, it's not something that I've planned... but if it comes down to it, you bury the body, and I'll have the baby." I laughed, and made a silly face at him. He grinned and winked.
My sister came downstairs in one of her older yellow dresses. She still rocked everything she wore. It was a bright Sun yellow dress, with a black bow tied around her hips, and black high heels, with a yellow bow on each one. "See, you look gorgeous in your dresses!" I complimented her to boost her self esteem.
She blushed, "Thanks," she walked over to me and surrounded me in her arms. "You look stunning though."
I didn't know what to say, other than smile. "Are you guys ready?" My dad added, "Because, I'll leave y'all here if I have to." He grabbed the car keys and walked outside to the car. We followed. As we all pillied into the car, I got a text from Isaac.
Text Message: Isaac Winters
Hey, I'm gonna be home alone today... wanna come over and draw with me? I also got you a present!
I smiled as I read the text. Did he really buy me a gift? He's just the sweetest. I started Clicking my phone on and off re-reading the message, and thinking of what to say back.
Me: Hello Isaac Winters! Long time no talk... haha jk, idk what I'm saying? But I can't hang today, bc I'll be at a meeting thing for my dad, talk later?
Text Message: Isaac Winters
Mkay, well... have fun! And of course, I'll hold onto your present. Ttyl.
I clicked off my phone, and enjoyed the ride to where ever it was that we were going. Once we made it, I pulled my dress down; just in case I had a wedgie, or my dress was ruffled.
We walked inside this huge building that said 'Physical Therapy Banquet' what, the, hell? Who could afford something like this? It was huge, and beautiful, and did I already say HUGE?!
As we walked around each table would have names or companies, or colleges. It was smancy fancy. I sat down at the table across from my mom and dad. For some odd reason we got moved to sit with the college kids. I looked at the names, I saw Andrew S. and I saw Andrew W. I wonder if Andrew W. Was Andrew Winters. He got sat next to me. Oh boy.
Soon more people started coming in, and filling the tables. I don't think I had seen this many people in one room at once.
Then he walked in with a sharp black blazer on, along with a black tie, and nice long dress pants. I barely even recognized him.
