Bread for Breakfast
I woke up at the 5 a.m and put on a new
long-sleeved shirt, denim jeans (the overall thing was way too
nerdy), and some boots. I walked outside and stretched my arms out
'reaching to the sky'. My stomach grumbled and since I usually
started work at 6 I'd go get a bite to eat at the Café. To
my surprise there were a lot of people there. Michael, Bob, Joe, Tim,
Woody, Theodore, Dia, Gwen, Doug, Eve, Gwen, Dan, Eve, Maria, Meryl,
Ronald, and Lyla were there. Why are there so many people at this
time? I walked up to Carl.
"Why are there so many
people?"
"Don't you know? Everyday a lot of people come
inside to watch the sunrise. It's too cold outside and they get a
bite to eat here. I look forward to morning everyday. The cash reels
in at this time."
"Oh! I didn't know. Could I eat
something?"
"Sure."
He went to the kitchen and brought
back some bread, eggs, and milk.
"If you haven't noticed I
have a big window that looks at the sunrise. And if I were you I'd
stay here and watch the window. Too much people crowd it."
"Okay."
I
began to eat my food. The food really was good. I felt a small tug on
my jeans. I looked down to see Meryl looking up at me. Meryl was my
little friend. She would always want to play with me.
"Mister
Kyle. Watch the sunrise with me."
I looked into her big brown
eyes and smiled.
"I will Meryl. I have to eat first."
She
smiled and skipped to Ronald. I looked at the counter and saw that
Carl was gone. I suddenly felt someone cover my eyes.
"Hello
Kyle."
"Hello Katie. I know its you."
She let go and
sighed. Ever since the Cooking Festival she kept on doing that and I
always knew it was her.
"So you came to watch the sunrise
huh?"
She put her arm on my shoulder. She looked at me with her
blue eyes.
"Yeah."
I finished eating and told her to come
with me. I went to Meryl and picked her up and put her on my
shoulders. She towered above me and we watched the sunrise
together.
"Mister Kyle. Is Katie your girlfriend?"
"Meryl.
When did you start thinking about other people's business?"
I
held her in front of me and looked at her. I laughed and put her
down.
"It really is beautiful Katie."
I did another daring
thing. I whispered into her ear, "Your more beautiful than the
sunrise and sunset."
Her face turned crimson red and we both
looked at the sunrise. She really is more beautiful than the
sunrise and sunset.
