I've packed up already. My train doesn't come for another hour! I suddenly miss home. I want to see Grandma very badly, I can't logically explain why. Rose has been at home taking care of her, so I shouldn't be this worried right? Right??

It's quiet at home. Undeniably, uncomfortably quiet. Nobody is here but me. All that was left was a sad looking little note telling me where everyone had gone.
-Sorry were not here to greet you. Went to the hospital Pinako wasn't feeling well.
I bit my lower lip and tried to tell myself it wasn't anything serious…. But at that age what wasn't? I took my stuff up to my room and began to unpack, when the phone rang.
I ran to the phone hoping it was from Granny or Rose, saying she was ok.

She's fine. I can't say how much I'm relieved. The last thing I could take was something happening to Granny. She's all I have left. Still she'll have to stay over night. She'll be back tomorrow; I have the house all to myself. It's funny how the house seems to have grown over the years, without a single addition added to it, since ever. Now it was the biggest it's ever been; a three level house with only one person in it.

I'm still unsure of how the heck it all started. There was a knock at the door early in the afternoon. I ran down from my room (I was tinkering on the arm again) thinking it was Miss Rose and Grandma. It wasn't, instead it was one of the boys I had helped earlier that year. Surprised by my new guest, I simply stood there and said Hello. He had a bouquet of flowers in his hand, my favorite kind too, but I wasn't about to tell him that.
"Hi, Miss Winry! Uh, these are for you! Thanks for helping me!"
"Sure no problem. Thanks for the flowers." My voice was hollow; polite, yes, but still hollow.
"Um, a-are you free this Saturday?"
Was he asking me out?
