Angela
Fall 17th
Even though I love living near Carmel Falls it would be nice to live near town sometimes. Oh well, I needed to get more work clothes all my old ones have holes in them and I needed to get some exercise. It was a nice day for being fall, but something was different about today. I shrugged the feeling off and kept walking. When I got to town there was no one in sight and all the shops were closed. What was going on here? I heard a loud noise out by the dock. There were no festivals today, so what could be going on? "Only way to find out is to investigate." I mumbled to myself and started towards the dock.
"Chase your back!"
"I can't believe it!"
"Wow! You're so tall!"
"We've heard so much about you!"
"I missed you!" Everybody was standing around someone I couldn't see. There was yelling and cheering for this guy named Chase. I tapped Ellie who stood in front of me on the shoulder.
"Hey! I didn't see you there!" she smiled
"What's going on here?"
"Chase is back!"
"Who is Chase?"
"Oh! I forgot you're new to the island. He is Yolanda's apprentice. He has been gone for six years!"
"Wow, that's…just wow!" she smiled and turned her attention back to Chase. I tried standing on my tip toes and getting a look at this famous Chase but I had no such luck. Giving up I walked away back to my house. I had plenty of things that needed to be done around my farm and I could always meet Chase later, it's not like he was leaving right away. As I turned to walk back into town I saw Luke heading towards me.
"Yo! Angela! Where are you goin'? "He gave me a cheesy smile.
"I am going home. I only came to town to get a few things but it looks like everyone is busy with Chase back in town."
"Tell ya what. I will walk you back home so you don't feel lonely!" He grinned. Normally I would decline but it was a nice day, he was a good guy so why not? "Alright you can walk me home. For your effort I will even make you some cooked spinach." Luke gave a loud whoop, looped my arm through his and we took off to my house.
I barely paid attention to what Luke was saying while we walked to my house. I wondered what made Chase leave for six years. More importantly what made him come back? It just doesn't make sense to show up out of the blue all of a sudden something was wrong and I was going to find out.
"You know what Angela," Luke nudged me snapping me out of my thoughts. We were on the porch of my house. "As much as I love spinach and being with you I have to take a rain check. I promised Chase I would have dinner with him tonight!" I faked a smile.
"It's alright. I understand go have fun." He frowned
"Come with me."
"No it's okay I have to tend to my crops and animals." He frowned again.
"Are you sure?"
"Go already Luke before you miss dinner!" He gave me a kiss on my forehead and left. I walked into my house and sat down in the kitchen. It was only 5 p.m. what was I going to do for the rest of the night? I could mope around all night or call it an early night. With a huff I got ready to go to sleep, so much for a nice day.
