I lifted my eyes and saw...Raf running to us.
“What?!” I screamed.
“Do they know each other?” Agatha asked my granny.
Yes, I stood there with 2 grannies. I didn’t run to him. I thought, that it would look weird. We haven’t talked for a week after that day. I still don’t know who we are to each other.
“Why didn’t you run with Linc?” grandma asked me.
I shrugged and looked down.
When Linc and Raf came to us, I looked up and saw Raf glancing at me. Maybe, he waited until I ran to him and hugged him. What? No! If he wanted to hug me, he would come to me and do it. I shouldn’t be the one, making this step, considering that he pushed me away from him, not the other way round.“Hey!” he said to me.
“Hey!” I answered.
“How do you know each other?” my granny asked.
“Come on! Their parents have always been friends with mine! And we always played together, when we were kids. Besides, we go to the

It was already the morning, when our grandma called us:“Guys! Don’t forget about our walk!”I got up and started getting ready. When I was ready, we went for breakfast. “Good morning, grammy!” I stated, coming downstairs.“Good morning, Kylie!” she answered.Soon, Lincoln came and sat with us.“I thought that we wouldn’t go for a walk today. Doesn’t Agatha have some things to do before her birthday party, or something?” Linc asked, rubbing his eyes.“No, it’s Raf’s surprise, so he won’t come,” granny explained.I felt disappointed. I don’t know why. We hadn’t talked normally, even if he would was there, we wouldn’t talk. But his presence made me feel better. Linc was noticeably frustrated and he started whining like a child. We laughed and grandma stated:“If you were a child, it would
“Raf?” we exclaimed. He looked at us.“Guys, what are you doing here?” he asked us.“We are looking for a gift for your grandma,” Linc stated and laughed. “I guess, you are doing the same!”“Stop, Walker! I didn’t have time to choose anything for grandma!” Raf smiled. “Let’s do it together. I have no idea what to buy for her. Maybe we need a woman’s thinking here?” he glanced at me.“Oh, I don’t know as well! But I will try to find something worthy,” I stated and went deeper into the store. There was nothing interesting, except for some cups, signs and t-shirts. “Nothing! Next!” I exclaimed and went out of the store.I noticed a beautiful clothing and accessories store and thought about different pendants, bracelets or bags. I left guys near the entrance and went to find something interesting. I
The next morning passed as usually. We got up, had breakfast and went to the park. This time Raf was also there. I wondered, what he was thinking about me not answering him.Flashbacks:“I don’t want to,” he whispered, still looking into my eyes. “What?” I asked. “To have you out of my life anymore,” he continued whispering.I didn’t answer, because I didn’t want to promise anything. When we met in the park, he looked tired.“Hey!” he turned to me.“Hey,” I answered.Linc and Raf started talking and I was following them silently.“Do you have a cigarette?” Linc asked Raf.“Yeah, but I can’t give you it now! Grandma doesn’t allow me to smoke near her. She believes, that I don’t smoke at all,” Raf whispered.
I started leaning down to the surface of the water to row by my hands to the right way. But suddenly I fell down into the water.“Ohh!” I screamed.“Peanut!” I heard him screaming.Then I heard the splash of the water and saw him swimming to me. I could have swum by myself, but I panicked and froze. He grabbed my waist and we started swimming up to the surface.“Thank you!” I panted. We approached the canoe and sat in it. “Okay! Let’s continue the way.”He resumed rowing.“How is your family?” I asked, when I suddenly remembered that day, when I got to know them.“Good, James went to his grandma and others are in Spain,” he told.“Why did’t you go with them?” I asked bewildered.“Because I hate that place.”“Why?”“A lot of bad memories surround me, when I
“Raf?” I said. He turned to me and nodded. “Are these kids Linc, you and I?” I continued. He stood up and so did Linc. They approached me and looked at the photo. “Yes!” Raf affirmed. My eyes widened. “Linc, did you know that Raf has been your best friend since childhood?” I asked Linc. “Of course! Well, I did forget about him, but then I was thinking about it and remembered him. How do you think we have become friends?” Linc said. “But why don’t I remember anything?” I asked. “Because you didn’t know his real name, you called him Batman. Remember?” Linc started laughing. “You are the Batman?” I asked flabbergasted. They started laughing. “When someone called him Raf, you didn’t understand who it was. Don’t you remember, how his family visited us frequently? And we paid them a visit too.” “Damn, my life won’t be the same anymore!,” I stated and put my palm on my forehead. They laughed
In the next morning, I woke up a bit earlier than granny. I decided to make breakfast and make some coffee and tea for her and Linc. I put on a robe and went to the kitchen. I started making toasts and frying eggs and bacon. It smelled amazing. At six A.M. granny went downstairs and came to me.“Kylie? What are you doing here so early?” she asked me, as she kissed my forehead.“Just wanted to make breakfast for you, guys!” I replied and kissed her too.“It smells so delicious!” grandma breathed in the wafted smell of soicy meat and eggs.“I will wake Lincoln up! You can sit at the table and wait for us! Don’t do anything!” I pointed a finger on her and she laughed.I ran upstairs and started yelling:“Lincoln!” Wake up! I am giving you a minute! If you don’t wake up, I will pour cold water on you!”I started knocking on hi
“Do you know each other?” Linc asked.“Yes! We are-“ Ashley started, but Raf interrupted:“Are we going, or what?”“Yes, let’s go!” Agatha stated and we started walking around the park.Ashley ran to Raf and asked him:“How are you doing? We haven’t talked since forever!”“Yeah, and what?” Raf asked.“Wait! Can you tell me, how the hell do you know each other?” Linc stated annoyed. “As far as I remember, Raf wasn’t in Wrightwood, when Ashley and Bella were here.”“Yes, but 2 years ago, you weren’t here,” Ashley turned to Linc.“You were in USA 2 years ago?” Linc turned to Raf and inquired bewildered.“Yes, I haven’t told you about it. But I was,” Raf replied remaining calm.Why haven’t you told me about it? For God&rsq
“Where is the festival?” I asked, when we were already far from the park.“It’s in the center of the city!” Raf stated and I fell silent again.Linc, Bella and I were walking together, while Ashley and Raf were going with their hands intertwined. I found myself rolling my eyes a lot. When we were already there, I noticed a lot of people. There were attractions and stalls with toys.Everything was decorated with orange, red and green colours. Exactly like the autumn. The time passed so quickly. It was already the end of the autumn and soon we had to go back to LA and back to school. Everything was so beautiful, that it made me smile. This atmosphere in this place, with a soft wind and with my friends by my side made my mood rise.“Look! The Ferris wheel! I’m definitely gonna try it,” I stated.“But it‘s scary!” Ashley said and pulled Raf closer to h
