- 10.
I went to a party.
We had fun until 9 pm.
I had a bunch of missed calls.
It was Mom and Dad.
Dad called again.
I picked up. He was worried.
He said, “Autumn, Ashley’s sick. Don’t be
mad. We’ll take you shopping.”
I laughed. “It’s okay. I’m leaving tomorrow.”
く
He didn’t say anything.
I hung up. Then my phone started ringing
again.
It was Mom.
“Autumn, where are you? Why aren’t you
home?”
I was surprised.
Ashley was sick. Why would they be coming
home?
But I still told her. “I’m at a restaurant with
friends.”
She said, “Wait for me. I’ll be there soon.”

Pick me up?
They hadn’t done that since middle school.
I waited until 10:30.
It was summer, but I was cold.
I got a taxi and went home.
