I guess I'm racing today. I mean I don't care I'm good at it. If I win I'm donating the winnings to charities. Plus some. I don't know yet.
"Hey Temp are you coming today?" Terrance asks walking into my room without knocking.
"Yeah, I'm going to be leaving soon if you wanna ride with me." I reply to him as I keep packing my bag for tonight. I'm not packing anything extreme, just my outfit, helmet, and a gun just to be safe.
"Okay I'm riding with you. Everyone else is being annoying today." I nod to show him I'm listening.
Everyone in this house has been on edge lately. I don't know why but it's whatever I guess. I'm the one running our business so it doesn't make sense for them to be stressed out.
"Are you planning to go to the ball this year?" T asks me. I think he is just trying to start conversation. It does get boring being in this house.
"Yeah. I'm not sure how long I'll be there to be honest. I mean I am the hostess this year so I kind of have to stay till the end of the night. But I doubt anyone actually expects that from me." I shrug. I mean I have never stayed at the balls longer than an hour. Everyone knows that. I don't do crowds for long periods of time, no matter who is hosting. They better not get their hopes up this year.
"Yeah that's understandable. I doubt anyone expects longer than an hour from you." He pauses before continuing, "Do you have a date this year?"
"I never bring someone. You know this better than anyone because you also know the reason I don't bring anyone. This year is no different. Every year you ask, and every year the answer is the same. Sorry bud." I reply with a calm tone. I know he is just curious. It's not his fault. He knows why I don't bring any plus ones with me but he can't help but ask every year. I'm happy he keeps asking I guess it shows me he cares.
"Yeah I know. But there is that boy you met at the cafe." He looks up at me giving me hinting eyes. And too that I roll my eyes.
"I was being friendly. That's it. He looked like he needed a friend so I was being friendly. There is no room in my world for him. He realizes that and I know that. There is nothing that is going to happen because there is nothing that can happen. Like I said I was checking to make sure he is safe for auntie." Again I speak to him in a cool tone keeping the emotions out and not losing it on him.
"Okay well it's 10:30 we should probably get going soon." T says as he walks out of my room.
I finish packing my bag so I move on to braid my hair. It's just going to be in the way if it's down. I'm changing at the track so I'm just going to stay in my sweats.
"Terrance? I'm leaving, you ready?" I ask as I walk down the hallway. Looking at my phone its 10:46. we will be fine getting there on time and still have some time to mess around. Maybe we will stop for breakfast.
"Yeah let's go." Terrance grumbles as he passes me.
We walk out the front door not saying bye to anyone. There are all still sleeping. I don't know why T said they were being annoying if they aren't even up.
