the story?”
“Romeo and Juliet.”
“I love that story! It is very romantic.”
“I’ve read that story before and I don’t want to read it again...”
“Sweetheart, you read it when you were young... Now you’re old enough to understand it and maybe go through the same thing, but not killing yourself for a guy!”
“It would be nice to refresh the memory about this story...”
“Were you reading it now?” she asked...
“Yeah... I’ll go and continue...”
“No stay and help me cook...”
Mom knows how much I love cooking, so she always asks me to help her... I normally chop what’s needed to be chopped, but sometimes my mom lets me do the entire meal to make me ready for when I grow up...
“Bed time.” Mom said...
“I have a bed time? Since when?!”
“Since now... go to bed!”
I did what she said... but why did she want me to sleep this early!? It was still 9:30! And tomorrow’s Saturday!
I sat down on my bed and called Katy...
“Hey Kimmy! What’s up?” she said.
“Just one thing... Matt asked me to have a snack with him after school... Do you think he meant it as a date or just as friends?”
“Kim, you met him like yesterday, of course he didn’t mean it as a date! And he just got your phone number! He’ll call you when he needs to ask you out!”
“Yeah, you’re right... Thanks Kit Kat!”
“You’re welcome...”
And then I hear a knock on the door...
“I got to go Katy, talk to you tomorrow!”
“Okay, bye!”
And I hung up the phone and pretended to be sleeping...
“Come in!” I said...
“Hey sweetheart!” My mom entered and closed the door.
“Hey mom... Why did you ask me to sleep early?”
“Oh you know your brothers! They get so mad when they have to go to bed before you do!”
“This thing is just for today right?”
“Yeah sure!”
“So why did you come up here? Did you want to talk about something?”
“Two things actually!”
“What’s the first?”
“Was it Matt you were talking to after school?”
“Yeah... he was just telling me to go have a snack with him but I told him I have an Italian session.”
“Good... You didn’t run off like what happened with Davis.”
“Yeah... What was the second thing?”
“Don’t make any plans for tomorrow between 12 at noon till 3 in the after noon... You are going to an Italian restaurant with Mrs. Edmonda!”
“Why?”
“She wants to show you the art and food and life of Italy...”
“Okay...”
On my mom’s way out, she turned off the lights... So I turned on the lamp next to me on the table, and continued reading ‘Romeo e Guilietta”. I started imagining weird things, like; what if Matt was Romeo and I was Juliet?
