Just Another Day...Sure..., Andrea Diaz [read out loud books .TXT] 📗

Damian was on a trip with his dad today, but tomorrow I'm going back to school and I'm going to see him there. What would I say to him? What would I ask him? I was so worried about how it would go. All I did was think about how the conversation would go. The next morning I woke up and got ready to go to school. When I got to school I went to go clear my absence in the attendance office. I thought it would be easy to find Damian but it wasn't. He wasn't with everyone else. 

"Hey Jenny! Have you seen Damian?" 

"No." 

"If you see him can you tell him I'm looking for him, please." 

"Yeah sure." 

"Thanks" 

I walked over to my locker and started grabbing my things. I started realizing I missed a week of school. Ugh, I'm going to have a lot of school work to do. I went to my first period class earlier so I can get my homework. I smiled when I saw Mr Hernandez. 

"Hey Mr Hernandez." 

He had a nice smile. 

"Hello Lily. We've missed you around here. How are you?" 

"I've missed you guys too. I'm ok, and I'm ready to get to work." 

"That's good because you've missed a lot this past week." 

I smiled and sat down in front of him while he told me what I've missed. 

At lunch I went with Mr Hernandez so he can help me. I had so much to make up. I even went after school for tutoring with him...ughh...I hate this. 

It's Tuesday and no sign of Damian. I wonder if he's avoiding me. What if he is? What if him finding out I was a witch scared him and he thinks I'm a freak. I need to see him once more. 

I've waited all week and there was no sign of Damian. I'm worried. I'm afraid.  

The school bell rang signaling the end of the school day. 

"Hey, do you want to go to the movies?" 

"No, I'm going to visit my mom and dad's grave." 

"Alright. Bye Lily." 

"Bye Jenny." 

Lily walked over to her car and got in. She past by a florist shop to buy her parents flowers. 

She walked over to the graves imprinted with the names 'Zane Diaz' and 'Ana Diaz'. 

On top she laid two beautiful bouquets of white carnations. 

Lily covered her face with her hands and began to cry. 

"Its sad to see a girl so young feel so much grief." 

*Gasp* She turns around. 

"I apologize, my intention wasn't to frighten you." 

"It's fine." 

He stepped closer to her but before he put his hand on her shoulder a familiar voice screamed to him. 

"Griffin! Don't you dare touch her!" 

"Damian?" 

Lily looked over at the person she's been waiting a whole week for. 

"Ah Damian. It's nice to see you again." 

"Damian. Where...? What are you doing here?" 

"Lily come with me. We must go." 

"But why?" 

"Yes Damian, why? You just arrived." 

"Lily please. Just come with me." 

Lily looked at Griffin then back at Damian. 

"Alright." 

She walked over to Damian. When she looked back Griffin was gone. 

"Where have you been? I thought you got freaked out. What was that all about? Who was that? How do you know him?" 

"Lily please calm down." 

They got into her car and she began to drive home. 

"Alright. Who was that? How do you know him?" 

"His name is Griffin. I don't want you near him, he's a bad guy." 

"What why?" 

"Just stay away from him." 

"What the hell is your problem Damian! You find out I'm a witch. You disappear for a week, then you come back like nothing and tell me who i can or can't talk to!" 

"I'm sorry Lily, it wasn't my intention to hurt you. I just had to go clear-up some things. Please trust me, promise you won't go near him, especially when I'm not there." 

They got to Lily's home and she parked in the drive-way. 

"Fine. But you need to promise me you won't disappear without an explanation ever again." 

"Alright, I promise." 

"You also need to promise you'll tell me who he is." 

"Fine, but not yet."
