Diary Of Us

July 4

I saw the fireworks with dad tonight. We drove out to a hill near our old place, where we hiked up to watch the show. There were a lot of people I knew. I think dad felt uncomfortable. He was quiet the whole time, but it's okay because we actually stayed there for a good two hours. I heard the loud booms everytime fireworks went off, but it didn't faze me like before. Actually, I felt nothing when I looked at the fireworks. They were pretty, but pretty doesn't really do much these days. I really wish mom was here to watch it with us. I still have about 5 books to read from her shelf. I want to try to read it before the end of the year, since when school starts, I won't have as much time.

Up on the hill, I ran into Heidi. She looked ditzy. She smiled very big and called out my name before she ran up and hugged me. I don't know what was in her system, but she told us to hang out soon. I don't know if she knew what she was saying. Maybe I will call her again one day, although our last interaction over the phone wasn't that great. Dad and I went back to our house, the drive took about forty minutes.
