In Your Dreams

chapter 7

* Semi edited.

Graduation is right around the corner and I couldn't wait. I recently got my acceptance letter to the institute of culinary education (I have no clue about the school, I just googled it and it was the first one to pop up) I cried when I got it because it's an extremely prestigious school and I'm still surprised I got in.

Mom and dad were so happy for me they both cried, along with Addie, and Hunter was extremely happy for me, but I think he's realizing that I'm actually leaving because he hasn't left me alone, he's basically been my shadow.

I still love him, but I'm not as in love as I was with him. I can actually be around him when he's talking to a girl, but seeing him kiss someone makes me uncomfortable just not sick to my stomach, so I've definitely made some progress.

Prom is coming up and I'm super excited for it. I didn't go last year when I was a junior because I wanted to wait until my senior year, I feel like it's more special your last year.

I already picked out my dress and shoes, Addie and I went together. I'm thinking about asking Hunter to go with me as friends, but I'm not sure yet because he's been talking to this girl in my grade recently. They're just friends right now, but knowing him it won't last long.

Right now he's helping my dad set up for my sister's birthday party.

Today is my sister's 10th birthday, we're doing a pool party. My family is coming and so are the Thompson's, currently Hunter is helping my dad with helping set up the waterslide.

Mom rented one of those giant inflatable waterslides. I think we're more excited than anybody considering we all have our bathing suits on to try it out before the party starts.

Luckily when we moved to this house it came with a huge backyard so we could fit this waterslide. After my parents found out they were pregnant with Charlotte, they moved into a bigger house and with luck, it was only 2 houses down.

After they inflated the waterslide we all raced to try it out. I'm pretty sure all of us (by all if us I mean Addie, Hunter, and I) got a bruise or rugburn from going down the first time since everything wasn't ready yet and we didn't wait until the bottom pool was filled, so we basically went into a puddle, but we had fun no matter the injuries we got.

We also turned it off and got a lot of patio furniture cushions to put at the bottom of the pool area so nobody hurts their ass when they slide down.

We waited for the bottom pool to fill up, then we were good to go. We went down the slide more times than my siblings, Hunter and I went down together and that was a big mistake because I guess with his extra weight and height we went over the side of the pool right on the grass, we were laughing our asses off.

The party was in full swing and we did our own thing and let Charlotte's friends play on the slide because we still had it until tomorrow. We started getting a game of basketball in the pool going with my brother and cousins. I was just about to make a shot when I got pelted with a stream of water

I turn and see Hunter holding one of the water shooter things you'd get from dollar tree. He has a smirk on his face and a evil glint in his eyes.

"You're dead Thompson!"

He takes off and when I run after him, I see a bucket full of them near the slide.

I grab one filling it up, and go to find him. I go around the back of the slide to see he's not there. I move around the side of the house and see he's hiding by our shed. I get close enough to hit him and I spray him with everything I have.

"Nice shot princess, but I'm going to give you 3 seconds to run" He smirked.

Before he starts counting I run away from him, trying to find a spot to hide. I hide behind the slide, but not before filling up my shooter. I wait and wait, checking around the slide periodically, but I don't see him. Just as I'm about to move from my spot a bucket of water is dumped on my head.
