Chapter 7 (JSH)
When I get home I lay down on my couch completely tired out. I take a deep breath then hear footsteps coming near me. I open my eyes to see, of course, my mom.
"Hi sweetie" she says as she sits near me. I have no energy to pull myself up to look her in the eyes so I lay there motionless."Hi mommy." I always call my mom, mommy. Except for when I mad at her, of course. "So you know how I said we would meet the neighbors?" I knew exactly where this was heading. "Ya?" I say. "Well I have arranged to meet all of the neighbors." I really hope none of the 'visits' falls into this weekend because I'm booked. Between the party and meeting Dylan's parents. Oh gosh. I forgot to even tell my mom about Dylan. Well I'll tell her after this conversation. "Ok. Do any of them happen to be this weekend?" She seemed puzzled but answered politely "Just one of them on Friday. No one else was really available. Why?" I have to tell her. It's the perfect opportunity. "Can I tell you something mom? But you have to promise not to freak out." She scooted closer to me with concerned eyes and said"Do not tell me you got bullied today." She seemed so concerned and it made me feel good that she was. "What? No." I lied. But right now I want to focus on my new boyfriend. "I have, a boyfriend." She smiled and threw her head back. "Oh my goodness! Savannah! This makes me so happy! What's his name?" It's nice that she's a supporting parent. "His name is Dylan. Dylan Dauzat." She threw her hands in the air and awed at the fact I had a boyfriend. This is why I didn't want to tell her. But I still hugged her.
After about a minute of hugging I asked my mom," hey, what house are we going to first?" She 'unhugged me' and replied back "Some house on the hill. Their kids are cute as all get out. One of them is your age actually." I really want to know what this kid looks like, or kids. "When are we meeting them?" I ask. "This Friday actually. Sorry I don't know if you have plans or anything we can cancel if you want to-" i cut my mom off. "No I don't have any plans. At least not on Friday. But I have plans on Saturday and Sunday." She looked at me with a childish grin,"Oooh do any of them involve Dylan?" I love my mom so much but she always gets in my business but I'm going to tell her the truth. "Ya I'm meeting his parents on Sunday." She threw her hands in the air again and squealed with joy. "Oh my goodness my little baby is growing up" I saw she was about to tear up so I told her,"But it's just a stupid thing like that. He'll come over to meet you sometime." She smiled then asked,"Wait, what's his name again?" "Dylan Dauzat" she looked like she was thinking but answered,"I think I know someone with a name like that" she smiled. I was worried but it was probably not even him and if she knew him it was on good terms.
I walked over to the kitchen to grab a snack while I looked at my phone. No messages from Dylan. But it's not like we've texted before. I put my phone down on the counter and grab some strawberries to chop. I start chopping the strawberries and my mom calls my name from outside.
I put the strawberries away and walk outside. It's still bright outside so it's easy to see outside. I look around and find my mom by the barn house. She spots me and yells,"Come here honey!" I run towards my mom and find her setting up the saddles on the horses. "What are you doing?" I ask. She finished the last saddle and turned towards me. "We're going for a ride." She smiled she grabbed two boots for both of us.
I zoned out for most of the ride. Not because it wasn't fun because riding horses in my own backyard will always be fun. But because I couldn't take my mind off of Dylan. He was just so, alluring. So perfect. I don't think I've ever met a guy like that before. Someone who takes up so much of my attention span. Which I have very little of. As I get out of my daze I see ourselves riding up next to the river. "Savannah?" I shake my head back and forth in response and said,"Say it again?" She giggled and looked back at me. "I said, what do you think about going to the neighbors tomorrow?" I give her a confused look "But today's Monday." She slows her horse down just to a walk as I do the same. "Honey remember? Today's Thursday since we took longer to unpack." I remember now. "Ooh. Haha okay."
The rest of the ride was a dread. My butt was sore and my back ached. But I put on a happy face for my mom. When the ride was over I ran inside and immediately rubbed icy hot, yes on my butt, and back. I decided that after hours I was going to text him first. I pull my phone out and lie down on my bed.
Hey it's Savannah ;)
Oh hey;)
