Flower · Harvey Mills

Chapter 67

I went down for breakfast, looking at Vince awkwardly. It's been a week since... we got in a fight and we haven't made up. The parents don't know what happened, but they know something's up.

I smiled at him across the table, but he just shrugged it off and took another bite of breakfast. He hit me. Why am I trying to apologise. I didn't even do anything wrong! Let me rephrase that; I wasn't the one who threw a hand first!

I know I'm not innocent, but I'm not as wrong as he is.

"Oh, Luna, I have great news. I talked to the girl's parents and it looks like it the end of the school year, we may be able to take a vacation to California," Jenna grinned.

"Seriously? That's amazing, Jenna! I can't imagine seeing them again," I said, smiling genuinely for the first time in a few days.

"One bad side; it's for two months, so it may be difficult for you and Harvey. There aren't dates yet. I want you to pick them, so get back to me when you figure that out, okay?"

"Sure, yeah," I said. It didn't actually hit me in that moment that I would be leaving Harvey for two months. I was way too excited to see my friends again in about two months.

I called Harvey, going upstairs to my room.

Harvey-Bold
Luna-Italics

"Hey Luna. I'm glad you called. I was just about to call myself. I have some news."

"So do I!"

"You go first."

"No no. You!"

Just now I realized how hard it was going to be to tell him. Talk about bad timing...

"You seem very excited... *sigh* That makes this even harder to do. I'm going to be leaving in the summer. I'm going to California apparently."

Well, that made it easier!

"What? Seriously?"

"Yeah I'm so-"

"What part?"

"Los Angeles... I didn't expect you to be so excited..."

"I need dates. When will you be gone and when will you be back?"

"Um... June 12 to August 5. Why?"

I got out a pen and wrote down the dates on a piece of paper.

"You're kidding me. That's two months, right?"

"Roughly, yeah. Why?"

"I'm coming with you," I could barely hold my excitement at this point.

"What?"

"Just a few minutes ago, Jenna told me that she'd talked to my friends parents and I was going to California for two months. It's crazy, but she told me to pick out dates. It might not work the best. I don't know the details, but it's possible. Then you could meet my friends, Max could meet Sophya..."

"You're kidding me, right?"

"Nope *giggle*."

"Maybe Jenna and my mum could Meet up and discuss it at the cafe and we can also have a date because we haven't had a proper date in a while..."

"I think that's a very good idea."

"Yeah? I'll talk to my mum."

"I'll talk to Jenna. Bye Harvey."
