On the porch at Enchanted Forest
It's a gorgeous day today. Not too hot, a little breezy. The sun overhead casts dappled shadows through the leaves of the trees, and all in all it's the kind of day that makes me glad I live in California. I'm sitting on the porch after my shift at work, waiting for Avasa. He's supposed to meet me here, and we're going to go for a walk. Might even get ice cream. Just like any normal couple on a date.
I'm a little surprised nobody at home has asked me about my ring. If you look at it closely, you can tell it isn't junk jewelry. You know, a few months ago I would've said that any of my family finding out about Avasa would be the worst thing that could happen, but now that I'm 18? It isn't bothering me so much. I mean, if Buffy finds out, she might still have a fit, but... it just feels different.
I'll be living on campus when school starts, and that gives a feeling of independence, even though it isn't really like living out on your own somewhere. I need to get on the roommate situation pretty soon; seems like Jan told me she and Amanda were going to room together. I should call Sophie and see if she has plans to room with anyone yet. I think she'd be a cool roommate. And I'd rather have someone I already know, I think, than some stranger that Student Housing assigns... or someone like that Cecile chick that was all over me and J at the Espresso Pump. Scary.
...where is that boy? I've never even noticed if he has a clock in his cabin.
