The Happiness Of Tragedy

Chapter 70

"No Mom, that's definitely not why I'm coming in with you guys" I roll my eyes at her.

She shakes her head but Dad speaks up before she does.

"Well Katerina, next time you can drive your own car here"

"And I'll go with you, we could have a girls day" Macy grabs my hand as we walk across the crosswalk to get to the doors of the mall.

I nod, "yes beautiful, we will have just a girls day but maybe after classes are finish for the both of us"

"Okay" she smiles up at me.

"See Kat, I told you. You will need more things to wear for these last couple days and look" she points to the emptiness as we approach the cool open space of the malls entrance.

"Theres not many people here also" she smiles and I shake my head.

It's been a couple days since then, and by couples days I mean classes begin in two and I'm definitely not ready. Well I feel ready but theres just somethings I don't feel ready for and this is one of them. All I've been doing is working on the small details and things that could make my writing better, my planner for the future. Things like certain type of animals I plan to study on or want too and even as I haven't been to the beach yet, I have been writing little facts about the ocean. I know it seems as if wanting to be a marine biologist is going to be so much more than just writing things down and studying the animals I want but it's a good place to start.

I've also talked to my friends, they've all been getting ready for the last classes saying how they want the best outfits and things like that but not me. I've been trying to relax my mind and rid myself of all the things I've manage to mess up on in the past.

That's why we were at the mall now, Mom took note in what I said about getting rid of all the bad thoughts and also following after my friends. She thinks I need new clothes even though I've told her plenty of times that I already had enough.

"This is going to suck" Kevin's voice broke though my thoughts and I laughed at him.

Macy squeezed my hand tighter, "you should've stayed in the car" she tells him.

"Shut up Macy"

"Guys" Mom sends them a glare and they grow quiet.

"Where too honey?" Dad asked Mom and she looked around, her eyebrows coming together in thought of where to start first.

"Let's go this way to Eagles" she turns to the left and we head down the empty walk way to the store.

Theres not many people here like she said, which is completely weird because the mall is always packed and I'm sure that's everywhere. I let go of Macy's hand and she rushes to grab Mom's, I step toward the balcony that overlooks the stores and center stands along with a couple people below. I look to one end and then the other.

"That's weird" I say to myself.

Someone looks up at me as if they heard what I said.

"Katerina come look at this" Mom calls for me and I step away from the glass railing and step into the store. The lights from the ceiling shine down on everything, making the clothes look luxury and expensive when they really aren't. Something shines out of the corner of my eye, a ring and I step closer to it. Its pretty and blue and shaped like a diamond. I smile tugs at my lips before I walk away from it.

"What is it Mom?" I say and she stands up straight and meets my eyes.

"This is too cute Kat, for you"

She holds up a navy blue cropped shirt with the same color skirt and it goes perfectly together.

"This is perfect" her face brightens.
