I started to get ready for midsummer ignoring my parents yelling. I put the dress that my mom bought me, it's a long red dress with a cleavage

"Are you ready?" My mom asks as she knocks on the door "yeah come in" I says, she enters my room with a wrapped box in her hands "what is it?" I asks "open it" she says with a smile as she hands me the box

I open it reviling a gold necklace "I thought it would get along with the dress" she says as she took the necklace from the box, I turned around letting her put the necklace around my neck

"thank you, I love it" I says with a smile as I looked at myself in the mirror "you are beautiful" she says making my smile bigger

"I know your dad can be annoying sometimes but just give him some time" she says "he wouldn't be happy about me hanging out with the pogues will he?" I says turning around and facing her

"Even if he will it doesn't mean you'd have to stop hanging out with them" she says "like last time?" I asks, referring to the last time it happened and I did stopped seeing the pogues.

"I promise everything will be fine. Get downstairs when you'll finish getting ready" she says and I nod

I finished my makeup and my hair before I walked downstairs "hey honey" my dad says "sorry about earlier" he adds "that's fine" I says before we gets inside the car

We all walked together into midsummer as a family, I planned on walking in with Rafe but that obviously didn't happened.

I waited for Sarah while my parents talked to some of their friends. Me and Sarah haven't hang out in a while, just talked on the phone but nothing more.

I saw the Camerons walking in, Topper wasn't with Sarah which was good but confusing because she said they were planning on walking in together a few days ago

I know Sarah and Topper haven't been great lately, I wanted to ask her about him tonight. After they have finished waving I walked up to her.

"hey" I says with a smile as I hugged her "I missed you" she says making me smile "yeah me too" I says facing her "I thought you were walking in with Rafe" she says

"I thought you were walking in with Topper" I says "okay obviously we need to catch up, and I was dying to tell you some stuff" she says

"Okay now you're freaking me out" I says "how didn't you told me you're in a treasure haunt with John B?" She says with a chuckle

"Wait- how do you even know?" I asks "I went to Chapel Hill with him to help him found some map and he told me about the treasure haunt, he also told me you're in it too" she explains

"wait hold on- you went to chapel Hill with John B?" I says "yeah" she answers "what's been going on there?" I asks "I don't know I kind of likes him" she says and I watch her face turns red

"this is great I've been dying to get rid of Topper oh my god I am so happy for you" I says

I was angry at the way John B treated me today but I honestly hates Topper and I prefer anyone but him and I was mostly happy for her

Obviously if John B would ever talked to Sarah the way he talked to me he won't be able to talk anymore, but I'll take care of it when I'll need to, now I am just happy for her.
