We can pretend
Meetings and goodbyes
After school Krystal gathered her books and walked home, taking in all of the scenery while the snowflakes fell onto the bare trees, she watched as some little boys ran laughing down the street. "If only I could live like that..I really miss those days, mom was more relaxed..And dad-" SMACK "shit.." Krystal muttered while she gathered her now snowy homework "listen I'm really sorry, I just have some stuff on my mind and-" "Krystal!" she heard an eager little voice call "Charlie!" she said while wiping snow off her clothes "we really have to stop meeting like this, I've never knocked down someone twice in one day before" Krystal said embarrassed, "what were you doing this time Charlie?" Krystal asked while looking down at her soaked books and papers "I was looking for you actually" Charlie said while dusting snow from his hat. "Me? Why me?" "because after you gave me the Wonka bar my Mum insisted on meeting you." Krystal looked down at him worried "oh Charlie, I didn't get you in trouble did I?" Charlie smiled "Oh no! My Mum just wanted to meet the girl who was so kind to me." Krystal looked down at her soaked books once more "It can wait" she thought to herself.
"Mum! I'm back! And I brought Krystal with me" Charlie called while pulling off his coat and mittens, Krystal looked around, the house was in shambles, if she had just been walking by she would have thought it was abandoned. There were cracks in the walls and holes in the ceiling, all the furniture was old and wooden, she felt sorry for them as she spotted four elderly people huddled together sleeping on what seemed to be a table. Suddenly a woman with short curly brown hair walked towards her "hello Krystal I'm Mrs.Bucket." she said while extending her hand, "hello Mrs.Bucket, you have a lovely home" Krystal said while she shook her hand, "well its not much-" Mrs.bucket said remorsefully "but its home." Krystal looked down at her watch "shi- I mean..I gotta go..I'm really sorry, I'll see you later Charlie, goodbye Mrs.bucket" Krystal said while letting herself out.
Krystal rushed home dropping her books two more times from falling on a patch of ice, by the time she arrived home, she was sore, cold, and hungry, not to mention is a foul mood. "And where exactly have you been young lady?" Krystal heard her Mother call from the kitchen "I lost track of time." she said while kicking off her frozen boots "and exactly how much homework do you have then?" Her Mother asked while stepping into the hallway, "just a bit...I'll Finish it after dinner". "Oh no! You'll finish it now and eat after! I'm not paying for that expensive college so you can slack off" She said while she scooped salad back into the bowl, "no..You're paying for it so I can support you.." Krystal mumbled, "What was that?" her mother yelled. "I said your right Mom." Krystal said while running up the stairs to her bedroom, she was too tired and hungry to work, started to read a book she had been reading but quickly fell asleep.
Ring ring ring Krystal awoke to the sound of her cell phone, "Hello?" Krystal asked groggily "Krystal! Its Olivia, what happened you were supposed to call me!" Krystal glanced at the clock, It was 9:30pm, "Ugh sorry I fell asleep, and now I have a splitting headache" Krystal said while laying back onto her bed. "Oh..Okay well Krys the reason I called is because I've got something to tell you.." "Mmm what?" Krystal mumbled while searching for some aspirin in her side drawer, "well, I'm going away for a month" Krystal coughed up the pill she had popped into hermouth "what! Olivia we haven't been away from each other for more then a couple of days! Where are you going!" Krystal shouted despite her pounding head, "its for business Krys, this music festival Adrian wants me to come to..I don't have a choice, you'll be alright, your to busy with school work anyway, we'll be able to talk on the phone and stuff so no worries, anyways..Gotta go, talk to you before I leave okay?." Olivia said trying to make Krystal feel better, but Krystal could tell they wouldn't be talking for a while.
