I'm Short You're Tall, So What.

My mother walked into the garden with a bright lovely bunch of lavender flowers, with the money I won at the school's festival. We renovated our floral shop and extended the garden so the plants can have more space to grow.

I went back to treating the young plumeria plant, one of the sweetest flower you could smell, it had a light relaxing fragrance. Mother and I constructed a plant nursery for the newly sprouting plants where they can develop under a thin net covering. It was like a little green house which was much efficient. The money had helped us out a lot, there were more customers too.

I sighed spraying the leaves of the plumeria with an organic treatment, my phone stopped working and I can't afford a new right now, I wanted to message Chase but there isn't a way for me to. I'm always thinking about him, I hate it that he's all I can think about. There were even some romantic thoughts of him which surprised me at first because I hated romance to the max.

I wondered why I felt so sad when he left, I'm really stupid for crying. Something was wrong with me! Chisa get a hold of yourself you stupid ass.

"Chisa, Chisa."

I gasp a little glancing up at my mother, she sat down beside me.

"Sorry mom, I didn't hear you."

Her lips curved into a smile and she moved away sweaty strands of hair that was sticking to my lips.

"I was standing right next to you."

She said removing dried up mud from my face.

"Chisa, I've been noticing you lately. You're my daughter and I know you better than anyone else, you might not understand but I'll tell you."

I couldn't quite understand what she was talking about.

"Mom, I don't understand what you're talking about."  I said.

Her hand gently touched my cheek.

"You might not know it but you're falling in love."

She said. I can't be falling in love, that's absurd.

"No mom, I can't fall in love. I'm not falling in love."

I said covering my face. I don't know how to handle that, how can someone fall in love?

"You're falling in love with someone Chisa."

She said.

"Someone?"  I asked glancing at her way.

"Hmm - Chase perhaps?"

I felt my heart racing and I didn't reply to her.

"Aw, you're blushing."  She said with a smile.

I got up.

"Mom, stop with the mushy stuff. I refuse to believe that I'm falling in love."

I said taking off my gardening gloves.

"You can leave early today if you want honey, I'm planning to actually. I need to go to the grocery store."

She said.

"Ok, I'm going to the library."

I washed up and changed my clothes before leaving.

Damn it, I'm getting cold. I needed a scarf. I can't be falling in love.

"Hello witch of St. Paul's cemetery."

It was Bree, her eyes were scrutinizing me.

"You're blocking my way."
