Today was a good day.
On top of starting for the school's swimming team, I aced the competition. Granted I was in second place, but for my first competition in high school, it was pretty bomb. I was sitting in my room gazing at the medal when my dad came into the room. My heart sank. I had been dreading this moment.

"Look son, I know with what happened with your mother and I know that your stepmom isn't able to completely fill her place, but hey! You grades are good, sports are fine......."
"I was second at the swimming tournament," I cut him short.
"Oh that's good"he replied, "Good"
"I'll cook dinner" I offered.
"That's nice"
Dinner was a quiet affair. At least he wasn't as angry as id expected him to be.
"I'll come watch next time" he broke the silence.
I nodded, acknowledging his answer. I didn't think he would come though. Work kept him busy enough.
