Chapter Five: Me, Myself, and My Name

12 July 2017
I woke up with the biggest smile on my face. I dreamed about what happened yesterday, which was one of the greatest nights of my life. I woke up at 9:27. My parents already went to work and Connie said she was going to hang out with her friends. Greta was going to a family gathering of hers, so that leaves me alone. I checked twitter, instagram and snapchat. I finally got out of bed, brushed my teeth, showered, and got dressed. I wore black jeans, a Harry Potter t shirt and some white vans. I tied a knot on my shirt because it was too long. I did my hair into a messy ponytail. I went downstairs, and ate some pancakes my mom left me. I wrote a bit of my Harry Potter fanfic after I ate. Then I had an idea of where I should go. Brighton. The beach, the pier, and the arcade.

I got my bag, went to my car, and drove to Brighton. It was a fun drive. I sang a few songs in the car. I looked crazy. I got to the pier and stated to think of what to do first. I thought of ice cream. There was an ice cream place not to far from the pier. I walked over there and went inside.

" Hey Eva! How you doing? " It was one of my friends from college. Her name was May.

" I'm good,and you? "

" Good too. So, rocky road? "

" Of course. Duhh... "
I loved rocky road ice cream since I was a kid. May always knows what ice cream I always get.

" Thank you. "

" Anytime. "
I paid and then left. I went back to the pier and sat down on a bench. As soon as I sat down I got a text. It was Greta.

Greta: Hi Eva! The family gathering got canceled. Where are you?

Me: Oh, I'm in Brighton. The Pier.

Greta: Can I join you?

Me: Always. 😃

Greta: Great! Meet you there!

I took my baby blue headphones out of my bag. I placed it on my ears and played some songs. I played a few of my favorite 80's songs. So while I was waiting for Greta to come I just took out my book out from my bag. The book was " To Kill a Mockingbird", the one I bought yesterday.

I was about fifty pages in when someone closed my eyes. It was Greta of course.

" Greta! Hi! " I said

" Hi Eva! So, reading already? " she asked

" Yup. Why did your family gathering get canceled? "

" My uncle, who's hosting the gathering, he threw up. While speaking in to the microphone. It was a mess. Some of my cousins actually fainted LITERALLY. So, my family decided to cancel it and moved it to Friday. "

" Wow. Tell that story to your future children some day, " I said. It made her chuckle and snort too. Eventually, I continued reading and Greta started reading too. She was reading the book she bought yesterday. We read and read but eventually, got bored. Super bored.

" Eva, do you want to get ice cream? " Greta asked.
"No thanks, I already ate rocky road. I'll be like Augustus. I'll be FAT. "
" Come on Eva, just once? It's summer! All you need is just plenty of exersice to balance it. You have a healthy diet he has a diet filled with junk food. Just love your body girl! "
" Okay, fine" I answered.

So we went to the ice cream place ( again). I bought a mini vanilla ice cream. Greta, was hungry so she got a large cone of mint chocolate chip.

While biting every bit of my ice cream cone, I remembered I wanted to go to the arcade. So, I asked Greta if she wanted to go.
