Of course she yelled at me. She always yelled at me, for the stupidest things too. God
sometimes I just hate my mom. I mean she yelled at me for being sarcastic to my brother!
It's called joking around. God, I wouldn't reply in a sarcastic tone if he didnt ask stupid
questions.
I sped away from the house that had once brought me so much happiness and now just
brings me pure pain. I needed to relax, to get my mind off things. I decided that it would
be best if I went to my favorite book store and just sat down to read. I parked my car,
making sure not to hit another car.
I grabbed my bag and made my way inside the store. I sat down at my usual spot in the
corner and took out my favorite book, we'll always have summer. I had read it before and
I was going onto my third time re-reading it. Something about the love triangle between
belly, Conrad, Jeremiah always made me want to re-read again, and again.
I had only made it to chapter sixteen where Belly sees Conrad again for the first time in a
year. Right as I was about to finish the page I was on, I felt a light tap on my shoulder. I
swear to god if it was one of those annoying waitresses from the cafe asking me if I
wanted to get something to drink I was going to slap her silly.
I turned around, ready to slap a bitch, when I realize it wasn't a waitress. It was one of the
most gorgeous guys I have ever seen in my life. His hazel brown eye reeled me in like
bait on a hook. He flashed me a great white smile which only made me melt even more
than I already was. Then I realized that he had said something and was waiting for me to
reply.
" I'm sorry, what?" I asked.
" I think you dropped this." He replied holding out a pen, I shook my head and smiled.
" No, I'm pretty sure that's not mine." I replied expecting him to shrug it off and leave me
all instead he just gave me a cheeky smile.
" I know, I just needed an excuse to come over to talk to you." He said. I smiled at his
sweet attempt to start conversation. Just as I was about to say something I felt a vibration
in my pocket. Great my phone. I took it out and realized that it was my brother Jonathan. I
answered and gave the guy I was with the hold-on look and he just nodded.
" What do you want!" I exclaimed into the phone.
" Guess who's report card got here." He teased me. I mentally slapped myself. Of course
today is the first weekend of the month. Report cards got sent out yesterday.
" Fuck. I completely forgot. Has she seen it yet?" I asked referring to my mother.
" Let's just say that you should write your will before you get here." He explained before
hanging up. I sighed heavily before putting away my phone and looking up at the
mystery guy.
" Is everything alright?" He asked looking at me. I shook my head and started to gather
up all my things.
" No... er- I um... I have to go. I'm so sorry, but I really have to go." I began to make my
way towards the entrance.
" Wait, at least give me your number? Or your name!" He exclaimed, but I was already
halfway out the door. I turned around to see him just standing there.
" Amy! Amy Calderon!" I shouted before turning back around and getting into my job. I
drove away wishing that I at least got his name.
