Chapter 9
A week passed and Bernie was beginning to worry about Raph. He had been sending more and more explicit texts, telling her he couldn't take it much longer…she was also worrying about school for once. She was no closer to finishing (or beginning) that essay on the box turtle's mating season. She had gotten the algebra test back and had gotten a B+. She was satisfied. She was smart; she just usually applied her street smarts rather than book smarts.
It was early Sunday afternoon and Bernie was typing away on her laptop in her room before her phone buzzed. She turned it on and read the text quickly.
Waverly: Hey u wanna go see the Age of Adaline with me?
Bernie: The romance? Really?
Waverly: Come on, it's the ONLY thing playing and I bought 2 tickets and mom don't wanna come. Pleeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaasssssssssseeeeeeee?
Bernie: Fine. Now?
Waverly: Yup I pick u up in 10, k?
Bernie: k
Bernie was glad to have an excuse to get away from her work. She hurried to get dressed. She pulled on a brown sweater Taylor have her, shorts that stopped about four inches from her waist, and a pair of black Jordan sneakers. She pulled on a white beanie and pulled on her little brown purse just as Waverly pulled up in her mom's car.
…
The movie was actually pretty good. It was a romance, which Bernie would usually hate, but the movie had a really good story behind it.
Choices.
Adaline's life, Bernie's life, they all seemed to revolve around some damn choice that you have to make about some dude. And a sexually driven one at that.
But Bernie pushed these thoughts to the back of her mind and continue to have her girls day with Waverly.
…
Hey guys, I am honestly stuck. I was thinking about Raph beating the shit out of Casey, or something but I just couldn't write it. So I want you guys' feedback. Should I just end the mating season (as in time skip to June) or (if not) you guys give me some prompts, please. If I don't get any feedback, I'm just gonna do a time jump. Thanks, lovelies!
