That following say was Midsummers.I sat at the kitchen table scroling through all the photos John B and I had taken.

"You're not dressed"Wheezie asked walking in

"No,i'm not going"I said

"It's Midsummers,you've been talking about it since last year"She said

Rose walked into the kitcehn franticly.

"Y/n said she's not going"Wheezie told her

"The hell she isn't.You father is being coronated as Guardian of Knights of the Rhodoedendron.You're going" She said

"You're not my mother,I don't have to so anything you tell me"I reminded

"Whatever,your daughter said she's not going"Rose said to my dad as he walked into the kitchen.

"Wheezie,go.Whats going on"He asked me

"I don't want to go with Topper.We broke up like forever ago-"

"Maybe you could--"Ward started

"I just don't want to go with him."I repeted.

"I know,I know.What if you just paste on a smile ,and you go,and we have a good time,all right?"He asked

I rolled my eyes.

Since there was no way to get out of this,I ran upstairs to get ready.

When I got to the venue,I saw a bunch of Kooks dressed nicely.When my family walked out in the back yard everyone around us started clapping.
I saw Pope cooking on the grill.

"Hey Pope the Dope"I greeted

He laughed at the cringy nickname.

"Where've you been"He asked

"Oh you know...around"I shrugged

I looked over at my brother and his friends.They were all laughing at something Topper had said.

"Have you heard from JJ"

"What do you mean"I asked

"Shoupe took him in yeaterday,he uh...took the blame for sinking Toopers boat"Pope admitted

I laughed.

"That was you"

His eyes widened.

"Literally everyone's talking about it"I sais

Topper started to walk in our direction.

"I gotta go.I would much rather be cooking oysters then having to dance with that asshole"I mumbled before walking up to greet topper.

"I thought we were gonna walk in together"

"Yeah,well I came with my parents"

"Can we...talk for a second"He asked

I nodddd and followed him over towards the gazebo.

"Hows it going he asked"

Here comes the small talk.

"Its going,how are you"I asked playing along

"I'm alright.You look beautiful"He said

I smiled trying to make it look like I actually gave a shit of what he thought.
"Thank you"

"Where were you yesterday"He asked

"What is it to you"I asked

"Oh,you know,rehersal "

"I was out of town"

"Where'd you go"He asked

"Chapel Hill"I replied
