LibraryI slide a note to Golden from across the table. She picks it up and looks at it.I would like to make it up to you for what happened yesterday.If you’d let me.P.S:  I text/write in full sentences because you texted me  in full sentences the first time. She smiles and looks at me. She reads the note again, turns the note over and then writes a reply.She slides the note back to me. I pick it up.I’ll agree to your offer on one condition:If you let me drive you to and from school everyday.P.S: I like the full sentences.I frown at her. She shrugs at me like; take it or leave it.I write a reply in the little corner of the note.I won’t lie to you and say I’m comfortable with you driving me but if it means you accept my apology then we have a deal.I’ll buy you

“Those are beautiful flowers.” Mom says when I get home my bouquet in hand. She’s making herself tea in the kitchen.“They really are.” I say sniffing them. I love that Leo did this for me. it’s so sweet, I know Mrs. Grootboom talked him into it but still it’s so sweet. He could have said no to her suggestion if he didn’t want to give me the flowers but he didn’t.“Would you like a vase for them?” She says placing her tea up down. She looks like she really wants to touch them. I get why, they’re truly beautiful.“Yes please.” I say sitting on the kitchen island. She opens a cupboard and takes out a vase. She fills it with water and places it in front of me. I untie the string holding the stems and place the flowers in the vase.“Where are you going to put them?” She says looking at them dreamily. She touches one of them delicately, she’s in love.&

I brought Leo to an old farm that allows people to have picnics on the property. The farm is so big that there can be multiple there and they would never be in the same place. It’s like a private place in public. I personally love places like this but I don’t know if this is Leo’s speed.I am walking by faith here. I am hoping he likes it here. We walk across a field littered with wild flowers. The flowers are the main reason I chose to come here with him. I thought he would love it here, since he loves flowers. I look back at him as we walk towards a tree that looks like the perfect spot to have our picnic.  He’s quiet so I don’t really know what he’s thinking right now. This makes me even more nervous.“I thought long and hard about what we could do today and I came up with a very cool idea for our date today. I’m not afraid t say I came up empty, I wanted us to do something fun without the has

  “Milk, Eggs sugar and corn starch.” I say out loud reading the items on the list my mother gave me this morning. I’m doing the groceries today because she didn’t feel like doing it. So I offered to do it for her, I wanted to do something nice for her. It feels good to be out of the house. The past week went by so fast; I’ve been on auto pilot going from home, picking Leo and his siblings to go to school in the mornings. Then getting through the school day and then dropping them off after school. After all that I get home study for hours; sometimes I study until the next morning. Next week we start our end of term tests and I’m determined to ace of all them. This end of term report card is my ticket into university. If I don’t do well I might as well quit while I’m ahead. I want to go to med school so I need to be serious. At the same time I realize I need to take a few minutes to breathe. Or else I’ll burn out; at least that’s what my mother sa

I invited Zach over to my house for lunch today. I need to talk someone about what went down. And he’s my only option, it’s not live I have girlfriends I can talk to. Amara unfriended me and Gina is loyal to her is so whatever I say to Gina is going to end up in Amara’s ears anyway.On top of that Gina is the one that sent me the video. Granted it came with a message of concern and remorse. But I know how this goes, Amara asked her to send it.So that’s why I reached to Zach, he’s my one and only friend that’s left. I messed things up with Leo so. I must admit I was surprised when he said he would come through. I expected him to tell me to go die since Leo is his best friend. But he’s here.We’re sitting under an umbrella in my parent’s backyard. Zach freaked out when we walked out here. He’s in love with the pool he screamed when he saw it. He’s been staring at the water the entire time, it&rsquo
