Krysta’s obsession with making every day fun meant life in the commune had taken a 90 degree turn. It was a literal never-ending party. Even Claire showed up one night!
The garden was deteriorating from lack of care. Trash was left on the ground and ignored. Broken objects weren’t being repaired for long periods of time.
Suddenly Liliana’s perfect life was dirty and lonely. She wasn’t allowed in the karaoke bar and it seemed like the others hardly came out of there these days.
A boy in her class convinced her to play hooky with him at the ancient ruins one rainy summer day. (Luckily it was still very warm outside.)
Since they were already soaked they might as well have a water balloon fight right?
Liliana was finally being a kid again. I’d never seen her act so goofy. Normally she was playing violin, cleaning, or doing extra credit work for school.
Playing hooky isn’t exactly how I’d like her to spend her time, but technically her parents have no idea so I decided to let it play out for a while and see where this friendship leads.
Enjoy your slice of freedom while it lasts kiddo.
