Gia
I swingmy eyes on my textbook Normally the room is loud but it’s quiet today I don’t knohere everyone is, but I swear it’s like they know I have so out
It’s Sunday and in the Fisher family you never miss family dinner Ever
I read the page in the book over again as I wait for everyone to get here The quiet of the fa I can hear are the quiet sounds my mom makes as she cooks, but my dad hasn’t even made an appearance yet
I glance up, feeling my mom’s eyes on me “Do you need help?” I ask for the fifth tiot here, but when she saw I had my backpack with me she told me to sit and work
“Nope” She cocks her head to the side, trying to read my mood, which she knows is off
Everything about ht now At least it feels like it because I’m in love—head over heels in love It’s different than anything I’ve felt before and I knohat love is My family is a close bunch and there’s so ht hard, too
It’s why I’o down I need to tellsomeone, but he’s the one I can feel it in my soul
She keeps on staring at me, so I look back down at the textbook so I don’t blurt it out I’ to tell theet the sa to do it over the dinner table That way all ation
Somehow I’ve been the first to find someone, which is crazy because they’re all older than ht someone hoht it would keepit They’d be happy if I lived out in They even try to play up how great her life looks She can do whatever she wants and doesn’t have someone else to worry about! I’m not that wet behind the ears and I’m on to them I love Aunt June, but I’m pretty sure she’s crazy
Maybe I should have warned Marco I’ht I started to tell him that I loved him and that I was ready to take us to the next level My best friend Caroline told ht
I wondered why he hadn’t said it first, but I know Marco greithout a family Caroline re I love you like I am and that maybe he’s never had those words spoken to hi a jerk and needed to tell hi him
Then everything in Caroline’s life exploded and distractedhim how I feel I know Marco loves me because I don’t see how he couldn’t, not with how he treats me I’ve never met a man like him before and htat ho brothers tend to scare away everyone with a dick Theyimpossible
“How’s Caroline?” Mo where she is
She fit right back into our fa home She usually comes to faue to say that she’s banging a married man, but thenattention off myself and Caroline doesn’t need that crap
“I’lance back up at my mom, who doesn’t look surprised at what I told her
“Good for her” She nods as she stirs the red sauce on the stove
Myevasive and I wonder if she’s on toit’s A-OK for Caroline to date soree about it so that I’ll ad Marco
Again I bite, even though it can be useful Right now I’ to be, but we’re both pretty blunt
