Since the fall festival was today, my parents decided it would be a great time to spend some time together. So far they were right, this place is amazing. The town shops were decked out in fall colors, creating a sense of fall in the air. I couldn't wait until Halloween to see what they do around here.
"They have face paint Gabriella, let's do that." Dad said.
"Alright." I said. Lucky for us, the line wasn't as long so we didn't have to wait long.
"What do you think of your first week of school?" Dad asked.
"It was ok I guess, I met a girl named Savannah that shares three classes with me and she introduced me to her friends, so we became close. There was only one thing I really didn't understand." I explained.
"What was it?" He asked
"They all bow at their teachers, and when I asked, Savannah said it was an inside joke." I said.
"Well it could be an inside joke or it could have a meaning. You'll find out when you're sixteen." Dad said.
"Why do we have to wait until I'm sixteen?" I said. Dad didn't get to tell me because I was next in line.
"What would you like painted on your face?" The man said.
"How about a cat." I said.
"Alright here we go." He said before he started to move the pastel on my face.
"Looking good girl, I went with a butterfly on my cheek." Someone said. I couldn't place the voice bit it sound familiar.
"Who's there?" I said.
"It's me Savannah." she said.
"Oh hey." I said.
"When did you get here?" Savannah said.
"A few minutes ago. My dad wanted to get our face painted and mom is somewhere around here." I said.
"Hello, I'm Gabriella's father, Mr. Scott." Dad said. It was silent for a while before I heard her voice again.
"I'm Savannah." She said in awe.
"I know, Gabriella mentioned you." My dad said.
"Alright, I'm done. Here's a mirror." The man said. Once he handed me the mirror, I observed his work, which wasn't bad.
"It looks great, thank you." I said getting up while Dad sat down in the chair.
"Can I have my face painted to look like a lion, I always wanted to be a lion." Dad said while I rolled my eyes. Dad always acts like a kid more than I do. It's like he's an adult, but a kid on the inside.
"Where's your parents?" I asked Savannah. She was looking off into the distance.
"Savannah?" I said again. She turned back to me.
"You said something." She said.
"Yeah, I said where are your parents?" I said again.
"Oh, they're talking to your mom ." She said pointing to two people standing close to my mother.
"What do you think they are talking about?" I asked.
"I don't know, could be a lot of things. Hey, why don't we go check out the different booths." Savannah said.
"Alright just let me tell my dad." I said. I walked over to where Dad was still getting his face painted.
"Hey dad, you don't mind if I go with Savannah to look at the booths." I said.
