"That was pretty weird."I said.
"What?" He asked.
"She thought that we are together."
"Yeah, it was." He said. We walked together to the street and he called a cab, I tried to open up a conversation as we waited for the cab to arrive.
"Where's your car?" I asked. I have seen his car back in Minnesota. It was a dark grey Toyota Corolla which was pretty elegant.
"It's not my car. I rented it for a couple of months during my stay here in the states, the rent period is over, I am leaving in a couple of days anyway."
"Yeah, don't you have a car?"
"No, I have one in Canada."
"Was it your dad's?"
"Yes."
"And did your mum agree with it?"
"No, actually I don't know where she is. She don't live with us. I have never seen her before, I don't even know if she is dead or alive."
"I am sorry."
"It's okay actually, I am not really affected. My dad is doing everything he can do for me. He is my best friend and he taught me his work since I was a little kid, he took me everywhere he knew, we always did things together, he is the perfect dad." Actually I felt sorry for him and for myself at the same time as he talked: for him because he wished that his mother would share these precious moments with them. It would be a perfect childhood, but nothing is perfect and nothing good lasts forever.  For me because I wanted to know how to have a father who is your friend felt like. Dad would always be at work and we stayed forever for a little time. We went on trips together for like two or three times at most. If someone asks me a bout any memories that I share with dad, I will tell them really little memories that are barely countable. Mum doesn't give me any of her time. She is always at work.
My thoughts were cut when the can arrived. Chris opened the door of the cab and let me ride first.
"Thanks." I said smiling to him and he smiled back. We rode the cab and Chris told the driver our destination.
"So, about that prom when is it?" He asked.
"It's next Thursday." I didn't want to talk about that.
"Oh okay." He said.
"And what does your dad do for a living?" I tried to change the subject.
"He had many jobs but he was graduated as an engineer." He said.
"Why did he have to have several jobs? Wasn't engineering an enough source of money?"
"He has never worked as an engineer or something related to engineering."
"How?"
"He worked as a waiter from the morning to the afternoon, he can play the piano so, he plays the piano in a casino at night."
"Really? Can you play too?" I asked.
"Yes, I play the piano in the End of the year party of my school every year."
"So you can play really well." I said with a smirk.
"I think so." He said smiling at me.
"I don't believe you, you don't seem like a musical person." I said.
"You don't?"
"No."
"Okay, next time when I come from Canada, I'll show you that I can't play."
"Okay. Deal." I said. We reached my house.
"Here we are." Chris said. We got out of the cab and Chris insisted on carrying the dress for me. He asked the driver to wait for him.
"Thanks." I said as I opened the door.
"Welcome. Have fun next Thursday." He said giving me the dress.
"Good night." I said.
"Good night." He said.
I entered the house and went straight to my room. I was so happy with that amazing dress.
"Sophia." I heard mum calling.
"Yes mum." I put the dress on the bed and went downstairs.
"Hey Sophy." Mum said as she sat on the couch watching the TV.
"Hey mum." I said sitting next to her.
"Did you bring the dress?"She asked.
"Yes." We had some moments of silence just watching a movie.
"How did you meet Chris?" She asked. I told mum what happened and how Agatha was kind and generous to us. But I didn't tell her that she thought that we were dating. We watched the movie till the end and then I went to my bedroom to have some sleep and get ready for school. I texted Harry before I sleep and told him that I will pass by him in the morning and go to school together. I put my head on the pillow and went into a deep sleep.
I woke up the next morning on the alarm. I had an hour and a half before school starts. I had plenty of time to go to Harry so I took a long shower to relax and got dressed for school. I had my usual breakfast and went for a walk in the breeze of air in the morning as the weather was good. On my way to take Harry from his house I took out my phone from my pocket to make sure that Harry had seen my message the day before. Harry hadn't seen my message. I am sure he is still sleeping. I texted him a bunch of messages while walking to tell him to wake up so the sound of notification could wake him up. I was texting while walking till my head hit someone's chest.
"Oh, I am so sorry." I said before I look up and I saw Chris.
"It's okay." he said.
"Chris, good morning."
"Good morning Sophia."
"What are you doing here?" I asked and gestured for him to complete walking.
"I am having a walk."
"Yeah."
"And you?" He asked.
"I was on my way to Harry's house. We are going to school together."
"Yeah, I see." He said.
"And how is everything?" I asked trying to open up any subject.
"I broke up with Karen." He said. I wasn't sure of what I just heard.
"What?" I asked trying not to believe what I had just heard with my bloody ears.
"I broke up with Karen." He said with a slightly loud voice.
"Why?" I was so sad for her. I was literally shocked. Why would they break up? They were the perfect couple.
"Because of you." He said.
