21st December
Autumn sat by the lake smoking. Dan overshadowed her. ‘Your mom said you were out here. I thought we were doing it at yours?’
She looked up at him. ‘I needed time out.’
‘Sure.’ He said sitting next to her. ‘So your mom bugging you?’
‘Yeah, too many questions.’
‘What about?’
‘All of you.’
‘Oh..’ He said looking at her. ‘What you say to her?’
‘We’re all friends and I was helping you out with your school work.’
‘Well you ain’t lying.’
‘She still doesn’t get why all my friends are boys and not girls.’
‘I see.’
‘Shall we,go somewhere a little warmer?’
‘Yeah good idea the library os the warmest place right now and it’s got all the books we need. So let’s go there.’
‘Sure.’ She said pulling herself up throwing her back pack over ehr shoulders.
They walked away from the lake heading onto town and going into the library to get what they needed to do their project. They pulled out their, note pads, pens and pencils starting their assignment.
