Diaries of District 2
Chapter seven
Yesterday was fun. When we got home, Posy couldn't stop talking about how she and Johanna had such a great time.
"And after that went down to the kitchen and she gave me lots of cookies and candy! And then we pulled a prank on Plutarch by filling his coffee mug with frogs! But then Gale came to get me and we came home." she explained at dinner.
Even though I live on my own, at dinnertime we gather together and eat. Excluding Aliena. She goes somewhere else, though I don't know where. I would never ask though.
"Ohhh, I see." my mother said as Posy finished her speech. "So she seems like a very nice young lady. Is she your friend Gale?"
I was just about to answer when Posy interrupted me.
"Oh Johanna is much more than just a friend to Gale momma!"
I almost choked on the beverage that I was drinking.
"What are you talking about Posy? Johanna and I are-"
"Perfectly wonderful for each other but are way to blind to see it!" Posy butted in again.
I was going to kill this girl. I know I said that she was my life and soul but she is still a nine year old that gets on your nerves time to time.
"Posy, nothing is going on between Johanna and I, alright?" I make sure. "Yet." she added.
I had enough. I was getting frustrated. I was about to do something but my mother sensed that so she changed the subject. "So Rory honey, how is Mysti doing?"
Rory blushed some. I chuckled. Mysti Graden is a Black haired, green eyed, tall and skinny eighteen year old lady that my brother is in love with.
They've been dating for the past seven months. They started out as best friends when we arrived in the District, but then it got serious. And now here we are. In fact, it's a matter of time before he proposes to her.
"She's fine." he announced. "She can't wait to come and have dinner with us again."
"Good, we can't wait to have her here. And we can talk about the upcoming wedding also."
"Mooooooooooomm..." Rory whined.
"What Ror? Everyone knows it's about time for you to pop the question. But you keep waiting. Coward." Vick teased.
"Shut up Vick! Rina's coming over too. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiinaaa." Rory retorted.
"Ugh! Really Rory? Really! She's just a really good friend!"
"Emphasis on 'really good'."
As much fun as it was to watch my brothers argue about girls, my mother had to put an end to it.
"Boys! Stop it!"
They grumbled some but they obeyed her. We finished the rest of dinner talking about how school was over and how we were going to spend the summer.
No one brang up Johanna.
I was so grateful.
