Chapter 14: Unpredictable

You’re joking right? Is today really your birthday?
(laughs) Of course not.
Then why did you-?

I stopped Harris from what he’s trying to say by putting my hand over his lips.

Shh! Not too loud, or they’ll hear us.
Who?

Just then a group of presenters came up to us and played music with their violin.

I told them it’s my birthday and you’ll get this for free.
(laughs) What if you get caught? Don’t they ask for an ID or something?
No, but you have to do this trick once a year or they’ll find out.
You’re good. I’ve got to hand it to you.

After we ate at the restaurant, we went to the park.

Wish you are always like this.
Like what? Normal? My life is far more close to normal.
Cassie, if you dwell on the bad sides of your life, you’ll lose out on all the good ones.
Since when did you turn out to be Mr. Psychologist? Hey, race you to that garden!
Hey, no fair! You have your skateboard with you!

My heart was beating so fast when I had stopped. I closed my eyes as I try to catch my breath. Harris sat beside me in the grass.

I-I had never ran so fast my whole life.
I double that. You were so quick.
You’re weak big guy.

“Hey...” a voice called. I looked up.

You...
Galvin…
