well, today's the day. it's 8 and i just dropped off Harp at school. I have time to shower and get ready so i do that. As i'm getting ready for our date. is it a date? i hope she doesn't think it's a date because that will make me seem more nervous. i got out of the shower and got nervous and started sweating. i know gross. so, i decide to get in the shower. after i get dressed in something for cold weather because right now it is cold in la. once the clock hits 10:30 i start driving to the park.
i get out of the car and text Brynn.
connor brashier ☕️:
Hey! i just got to the park. meet me by the pond?
Brynn Whitaker 🙈: yes! just got here be there in 5
i get to the pond and sit on the grass area. i'm looking out on the pond at the ducks.
"boo!" i hear.
i get startled and looked back to see Brynn. Wow she looks amazing. i smile and stand up.
"hey whitaker" i say in a teasing voice.
"hey brashier" she says hugging me.
she's wearing a black sweatshirt and a denim jacket with a pair of black ripped jeans

"how are you?" i ask as we sit on the grass.
"i'm good. i went to my parents house for a visit yesterday and it was nice to see them. how are you?" she asked
"i'm hanging in there" i say trying not to get into depth about my mom but staying honest
"everything good with Harper?" she asks with a smile coming to her face after she mentions her
"she's good. happy and healthy" i say smiling
"you guys get along pretty well huh?" she asks smiling
"yeah she's my everything. i love her to death. she's my favorite person. i could go on for hours about her" i laugh
"so tell me a bit about yourself miss Brynn Whitaker" i say looking towards the pond
"well i covered the basics at the cafe but i attend UCLA for counseling. i've always wanted to do counseling for elementary or middle school. i grew up in Dana Point where my parents live but now i am renting an apartment in LA and i'm 20 years old" she says. i could listen to her talking about herself for hours
"that's so cool. do you have any siblings?"
"yeah i have a little brother who is turning 13 next month" she says
"nice what's his name?" i ask
"parker" she says smiling
"your turn" she says
"well umm im 20 and i attend UCLA as well for film and cinematography. i grew up in laguna beach where my grandparents still live but my mo-.....sister and i moved to LA and we live in an apartment in LA as well" i say not mentioning my parents cause that's a conversation for a different time. Brynn looked at me sympathetically knowing that i don't have good relationships with my parents
"well we seem pretty alike" Brynn says and we laugh
"what do you say we go for a bike ride" i ask motioning toward the rent a bike racks with my head
"let's do it" Brynn says
we ride around the huge park and mess around for a while until we are sitting on a bench and i at the time.
"time to pick up Harper?" she asks
"yeah sorry" i say and stand up
"it was nice seeing you again Brynn" i say hugging her
"you too con" she says. god the nickname took me by surprise and my face turns to a dark shade of pink.
"bye Brynn let's keep in touch" i say
"yeah for sure. take care" she says and i walk to the car with a smile on my face.
