That Summer

Package

By the time I knew it, it was Friday. I woke up as usual at 6.00 and got myself ready for my morning run. I ran with my headphones in so I got focused into the music that I forgot I was running. It's what I needed, I was and always have been a bad runner. I like to go on my own so I have no one with me to judge me. I decided to make the run longer and go past Rachel's house, it was less bumpy and flat. I always avoided Rachel's house so I had to go the back roads which were gravel and in even. I always landed on my ankle funny and ended up with some kind of injury. I was focused and landing on each foot to the beat of the music. It was to Disturbia by Rihanna. It was an old song but still upbeat and was a good song for running.

I ran back home and stretched out on my front porch. By this time my grandparent were both awake so I could have a shower. I always sneak around in the morning because I hate waking them up. I know this because they love their sleep just as much as I do. I turned the hot water on as I came through the front door and poured myself some water with ice cubes. My grandad was downstairs in the kitchen making grandmama breakfast in bed. Love doesn't just stop because you're getting older if anything it gets better.

I got out of the shower and dried my hair and powdered my face. I got dressed and headed to the kitchen for some breakfast.

Grandad opened the door and greeted someone, grandad was laughing. At this point I thought it was one of grandads friends until Kyle walked in.

'Hey Kyle, let me just grab my bag and I'll be ready. Has my grandad got a friend round? Or?'

'Uh no, it's just me. Your grandad opened the door and we started talking, turns out it doesn't take much for your grandad to laugh or Naturally, I'm a funny guy' he joked.

'Ill take my chances with the first option. Two seconds.' I ran up the stairs and snatched my school bag from my desk. I thumped back down the stairs and got my breath back.

'.. Ready?' I panted.

I was getting so worked up and wondering what Kyle said to make my grandad laugh so hard. In fact what were they talking about anyway. They have only spoke before school and that only last for 10 minutes while I finish getting ready.what would they even talk about?

'What were you talking to my grandad about?' I questioned.

'I er, I told you. I'm a funny person'

I was so suspicious for no reason. Maybe it really wasn't anything and Kyle just said something funny.

I wrapped my arm around his left arm and held onto it tightly.

'Okay, I'm just glad you two get on so well already.' I blushed and lent my head on his muscular arm.

Today school was so boring. I had bad lessons today, however break and lunch were okay. I didn't see Kyle though, I was with Rachel, mini, Amy and Alice. I use to be close with those too, but now I'm back with Rachel I've started talking to the girls again too. We all just sat at the lunch table in the canteen and gossiped like any other teenage girl. Fangirled about Justin and Beyoncé. Me and Rachel were so obsessed with Ian Somerhalder but the others weren't so we tried to persuade the girls to like him. Life was getting so much better and with this so did my grades and work. I concentrated more and engaged with the teachers, listening more to the tasks. Life was good.

The school bell went after 5th period and I hadn't seen Kyle all day, I texted him to see where he was and I'll meet him at the gates. I walked to the gates whilst waiting for a reply. Kyle wasn't at the gates and I had no reply either. I looked around and there was no sign of him, I decided to walk home on my own. I got home and checked my phone, he still hadn't replied. I left it, maybe he had to leave early and didn't have his phone on him.

I greeted grandmama and grandad walking into the living room. I sat beside them both and told them about my day. They shared their day with me and spoke about plans for the weekend. I didn't have any myself but they were both planning on going to town on Sunday morning. Not many shops would be open but they love going to the pond together. It was a cute tradition they had done for years.

After tea I thanked grandmama for making it and helped her clean up. After cleaning the kitchen and dining room I kissed her cheek and headed upstairs. I shut my door and climbed into my duvets. I scrubbed my makeup off with face wipes and chucked my hair up into a bun. I was so tired, I turned the tv on so I wasn't led in silence and closed my eye lids.

Vibrations from my phone woke me up, I checked the time it was 19:04 Kyle sent me a text. It said ' sorry Anna. I had to leave early after school to go dentist. I forgot to tell you. I'm so sorry how was your day? Xo'

I'm so grumpy if my sleep is interrupted but I made an exception for Kyle. I replied ' it's okay. I walked home all on my own :( how was the dentist? Xx'

I woke up at 9 am to annoying sound of the doorbell. I put on anything I could find, I slumped down the stairs and opened the door to no one. I looked down to the floor and found a white rectangles box with my name on it.
