An Endless Date

Chapter XIV

I was 15 when I first read the novel "The Fault in Our Stars". John Green is one part of my inspiration to start writing. That man never fails to collect words and put them together in a way that will make you realize that there is more to life. He never fails to go into your heart and find that emotion that he wrote that is already in your heart from the first. But especially, in this novel, he tells something about infinity. It really made up my mind blow.

Infinity is not always the space between the least minus value and the greatest positive value including zero. Infinity-s are different. He says some infinity-s are smaller than the other infinities. It really makes sense. You can put numerous amounts of numbers between two naturals. Well, you take one and two for the instance, and you can fill up the gap between them with infinity values after the points. 1.1, 1.01, 1.001 until it reaches two, which makes it infinity. While being endless and uncountable, it will be always less than the values that we can put between one and three which makes it another infinity. It will always be less than the values that you can put between one and one million. Infinity is endless. Some infinities are smaller than other infinities. Just like me and Anna.

From the day she met me, from the day we talked, we lived in our own infinity. We didn't care about anyone else. We found what we long for in the places we don't fit. Maybe she still gets me as I am. But, this might be the millionth time I said the same thing to myself but I am just waiting for her to meet up again with her. I can ask her to meet now but I just don't want to waste her time. I thought it'd be best if I meet her on Sunday and just apologize and make things normal. Even if I want to meet her now, she's not replying to any of my texts. I dare not go to her house too. I just have little hope that she will definitely meet me or at least give me chance to explain myself.

I took a round long way around the town and now walking by Anna's home. I tried to catch sight of her but nothing. Looks like she is not home. I took my home route.

"Hey, William!" I heard someone calling me from beside me. It's my father.

He pulled off the car and said by opening the door, "Going home? Come on in."

I got in and tried my best to hide the gift I just bought.

"You came early today, it's not even the weekend."

"Yeh, they are doing some renovation at the office. So had to come early. What about you? where are you coming from?"

"Just came to meet Lucas."

"What's mom doing at home?" he asked

"Reading magazine probably"

"Of course, she will be, she's such a bookworm at that time."

"Yeah, she's one of the reasons that I got into novels," I said

"It never interested me though. I always feel better with TV shows. She even gave me some books and asked me to read back in school" said my father as he stopped at the ice cream parlor.

"Really? We're bonding with ice cream now?" I said and laughed

"Come on. It's been many days and the climate seems good for ice creams. Let's grab something quick" my father said and go down from the car

We sat at a table and took vanilla for me and chocolate for my dad. Sometimes I feel though, he's just old but still really a kid. I don't know why I wanted to ask, but I really want to get some wisdom on girls. Maybe he's a boy, or my dad, I wanted to tell him about Anna.

"So, dad, you and mom know each other from the school, right?"

"Yeah," he said not taking his eyes off his ice-cream
