Snowing in Summer

Chapter 2

"Thank you, Ms. Daley! I'll be expecting you this coming Monday?" 

Mr. Smith asked. I smiled politely and nodded back in response as I hand him my report. "Yes, sir. I just can't believe that I'll be graduating this coming Monday, you know?" I exclaimed. He smiled and adjusted his reading glasses. "Oh, learn to believe Ms. Daley. Believe in yourself, believe in everything." he replied giving me a father-daughter hug. "Congratulations, Ms. Daley" Mr. Smith mumbled. I smiled and hugged him back. 

I really am going to miss Mr. Smith. He's my second father here in our university. 

"Lianah Darling!" A familiar voice called.

I pulled out from the hug and grabbed my things "Thank you Mr. Smith for everything, I have to go now." I said gesturing at Chad. "Oh, I see. Well, take care!" he said. "I will, oh and say hi to Mrs. Smith and Winona for me!" I replied heading out of the room. 

"Well, what took you so long?" Chad asked. I rolled my eyes and shruggged. "I just gave Mr. Smith my report and said Goodbye." i said. "Oh. I see. Well, we need to go to Starbucks, young lady!" He squealed pulling me with him. God, what is wrong with this guy? 

"What? Why? As long as you treat me Choco Chip Frapp" I said firmly. He just nodded back in response and dragged me to his car. What's up with this guy today? He's all excited and stuff.

Oh well.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

"Lianah Autumn Daley, meet Tom Aiden Riddle. My boyfriend"

 WHAT.

WHAT.

"I-I'm sorry, he's your what?" I asked dumbfoundedly. "He's my boyfriend" Chad replied emphasizing the word 'boyfriend'. I blinked a few times and suddenly squealed.

Holy crap.

My Chad Zachary O'neal has a freaking boyfriend.

"Calm your horses, woman!" Tom replied chuckling. I felt my cheeks burned red "Oh shut up! Why didn't you tell me?" I asked searching for Chad's dee blue eyes. "I'm sorry! it's just that... I forgot" he trailed off. I rolled my eyes and smiled at them

"Well, as long as your happy about it, I'll support you" I said with a smile "Oh thank you thank you thank you! You're the most awesome best friend I ever had!" Chad exclaimed.

"And you, Tom. Hurt this thing and I'll shove 200 dart pins in your mouth, got it?" I said sternly looking at Tom. He nodded back in agreement and saluted me. 

And that hit me. I never had a boyfriend. N-E-V-E-R. I mean look at Chad, he's gay and he had the charm to get one, And here goes myself. Ugh. I know that I need to focus on my studies, work and stuffs like that but seriously, knowing that your gay best friend has a boyfriend and you, a true woman raised by an awesome uncle doesn't have one and trust me it's somehow shameful and embarassing. I'm now 23 years old and I am still a virgin and single, ugh. Yay me.

"Earth to Ms Daley!"

I shook my head and looked at the both at. "W-what were you saying?" I mumbled giving them an apologetic look. Chad rolled his eyes and sipped at his drink. "We would like to invite you to this after your graduation" Tom said politely. "I-I don't know. I mean.. Hang on" i pulled out my phone and punched in Joe's number

Ring...

Ring...

Ring....

"Hello?" A familiar deep voice said through the line. "Hey uncle." I greeted. "Hey, princess! how are you and Chad? I heard that your graduation will be this coming Monday?" He asked. "Yeah, will you go here? I mean if you're not busy and stuff" I asked. 

Please say yes. please say yes.

 "I'm so sorry honey, I can't I would love to but I need to do some business here" He said with an apologetic tone. "O-oh. It's fine. i mean-"

"I will make it up to you. I promise" he said reassuringly. I smiled and nodded. Uncle never break promises.

"Okay, uncle. I have to go now. See you soon! Oh, tell Aunt Jane I said Hi!" I said 

"Will do, honey! Okay. I love you!"

"I love you too, Uncle." And with that, we both hanged up.

"Sooo, are you available?" Chad asked? 'Hmmm, i need some fun time for my own too' i thought.

"Okay, I'm in"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Come on! If you want to look stunning in this party, wear these!"

Chad scolded me as he hands me a red dress and a black high heels. I glared at him took the dress. "And the heels, Lianah" He said. I gronaed and grabbed the heels.

After 10 not-so-good minutes, I finally tried on the dress and the 4 inch black high heels. I walked out of the fitting room and settled myself.

"Do I look horrible or a slut?" i asked Chad. He looked at me and left his mouth hanging. "Uhh, hello? Earth to Chad?" I said waving my hand in front of his face. He closed his mouth and cleared his throat.

"If I were a straight guy, I'd so totally hit on you. No joke." He said eyeing on my outfit. I rolled my eyes at him and had an another turn.

"So, can I take these things off now?" I asked. He just nodded and smiled "I'm going to pay for that. No buts"

'I'm calling this a day and I'm tired.'  I thought.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Thank you for making me shop, Chad" I said unbuckling my seat belt. "Anytime" he replied. I got all of the paper bags and got out of the car. God, I really am exhausted. Physically and Mentally. 

I walked in and rushed up to my room. 

"Lianah! Do you want pizza?" Chad shouted from the living room. Well, I need to eat first before I go to sleep.. So.

"FUCK YEAH!" I yelled back. I walked into my room and threw all of the paper bags. Don't blame me, I'm tired. I took a quick shower, changed into my pjs and rushed downstairs.

"So, where's the pizza?"
