“Honestly no, I think it is better for me that way. My mother is pushing college but I feel like I would rather just bounce around and get a feel for life.”
“Don’t take too long to figure it out, you might end up being stuck bouncing around.”
“Is it unavoidable like that even if we try?”
That I cannot say, even if my father repeated it to me constantly, it still felt like I might not make it. There was always that fear. After all I was competing with so many graduates just like in Everscape, there were so many players the competition was fierce.
Funny they say Everscape was not real, but in a way it is. It is more real than can be.
He still tried to push the ice cream in my face.
He starts to pretend like I am a child, “You know you love this strawberry,” I tried to ignore it. “love it, love it…eat it.”
I burst out laughing.
“Come on, eat it.” He pushed it up to my nose and I slap his hand.
“If I eat it, you have to come to my graduation.”
Chester shakes his head as if thinking it over, “ok I will do it.”
I slip the top into my mouth and grasp it in one big gulp.
“Celina not so much!”
The cold was biting, I swallowed as my head shivered, losing focus I moaned to the chilling sensation.
I shake my head, looking at Chester with his eyes wide.
“What?” I ask.
He raised the cone, and half of it was gone, with part of the ice cream slipping further down the side. “Nothing, so I will see you at graduation?”
“You better,” I point in his face.
“Yeah alright, I won’t fail you.”
I smirk as I grab hold of his arm and pull him along with me to wherever the road takes us.
