I have one dress and I wore once and NEVER again .. I've let's think 5 skirts but I like them xD..

Here you go a new part!



Mom’s imagination wasn’t in the best shape when she was thinking a present for Pete, a bouquet of roses and a card with money. What did an adult man with the bouquet?! We walked inside the house in a beautiful queue. Mom was the first one, then dad, I was the next one and Timo was the last. I envied Elina who could avoid all this. First time Elina was spending the summer somewhere else than at home. She had got a summer job from Helsinki where she was studying so she wasn’t coming home during the summer. It knew a more silent summer for me because Elina’s friends weren’t visiting us almost every day like before. It actually showed how fast time passed by and how fast we grew up.

I shook hands with Pete murmuring congratulations. Right after that I was asking from Tuula where the buffet table was.
- Eveliina! mom yelled terrified while looking at her work mate apologising.
- What? I thought you said yourself before leaving here that you won’t make any food at home. I’m a growing teenager, I have to get food, I explained angel look on my face.
- I’ll show the buffet table to Eve personally, Pete promised while his eyes glimpsed playfully. – You never can know if she can even take the food by herself. She’s so little.
- A little?! I shouted while trying to look as tall as I could. – Between me and just graduated young man is only five centimetres, not even that. So be happy that I don’t have high heels.
- Why didn’t you wear them then? Pete was teasing me, pulling me away from our parents at the same time.
I heard how they were wondering how we didn’t grow up ever.
- You know very well that I hate them, I said starting to take cold salt food to my plate.
- You can go already, mom wants to know what you’re going to study, I said when Pete was following me.
- That’s why I don’t want to go there, Pete said.
- Oh, so mom’s little golden boy doesn’t know what he’s gonna do now? I teased him.
- Don’t you start that too! Pete snapped angrily.
I was satisfied because I could hit Pete’s weak position even once. I sat down to kitchen to eat my plate which was full of food. I haven’t eaten anything since my breakfast and now it was almost afternoon already.
- So you said something about growing teenager, Pete wondered after following my eating.
- Don’t worry, I haven’t grown anymore after a few years, I mumbled my mouth full of food.
- Oh, you’re now in the same kind of situation like all those who are growing their width, Pete grinned maliciously.
- Screw you! I snapped. – I use the most of my food I’m eating.
- Petri! Here are more guests! I heard Tuula shouting from the hall.
There was another mother who couldn’t use her child’s nickname.
- You must go now to explain to the new guests how you’re a total drifter about the studying, I said teasing him again.
Pete glanced to me murderously and left to his guests. I sniggered myself and left to take my first piece of cake. At least Tuula took care of that nothing was missing from her only child’s graduation party. I didn’t understood why there was an old man playing an accordion in the back yard. Horrible.

Later I heard that dude was entertaining the older age class, which major of the guests were. And Pete didn’t have time or he didn’t want to talk with all old people who had come here.

I was wandering around the house trying to find at least someone who I could talk with for a moment now that I had my stomach full of delicious cake. But I couldn’t find any people who I would have known. It was almost five o’clock in the afternoon when I decided it was time to go. I searched my parents and pulled them away from a talking group.
- I’m leaving now, I told them straight away.
- How come? You don’t even have a ride and we aren’t leaving yet, mom started to argue immediately.
- If dad can’t drive me to centre, I’ll walk, I said looking at my dad askew.
- But the distance is over three kilometres from here to there! mom shouted.
- I’m in good condition, I have good shoes and it’s great weather outside. I’m tired of being here! I gave reasons for my decision.
- You’re not going anywhere! mom argued rising her voice.
- Oh yes I’m leaving! You can’t stop me! I raised my voice also.
- Hey, why are you arguing here? Pete appeared there.
- This young lady claims that she can walk to the centre, mom started to explain to Pete.
I made a face while hearing the “young lady” and Pete couldn’t be without noticing it. He was suppressing his laugh while answering.
- I can believe that well. But I can drive her there, I’m leaving there soon also, Pete said seriously.
My face looked a bit unsure when I heard Pete’s words. There was surely a joke in this thing. But there was also that fact I could get a ride with Pete’s motorcycle. But, but…
- There’s only one condition. You must dance the next waltz with me, Pete said turning his face towards me.
I knew there was something I wouldn’t like! I looked at Pete doubtingly. But that motorcycle…
- Alright, I fizzed through my teeth.
- How nice it’s that Eveliina can come with your ride. We don’t need to worry that something happens to her, mom said feeling relieved.
I guess she didn’t know Pete liked to drive a motorcycle rather than a car. But I didn’t correct the misunderstood, it wasn’t my task.

Just in time the player of accordion told the next song was going to be the last waltz for this day. Pete offered his arm to me and I grabbed it. I had manners too, even I could swear like a child who has lived always in the streets.
- I was already hoping you couldn’t dance waltz, Pete said a little disappointed when we were swinging around on the grass among the old people.
- The P.E. teacher thinks we have to know how to dance waltz, I rolled my eyes.
- But why did you want to help me with my mom? I asked.
- Well…You have to help your childhood friend, right? Pete answered.
- Thanks for that, I said, there would have been a bigger fight without you.
I hated for thanking Pete but I still had some manners left that I could say it out loud.
- You’re welcome, Pete grinned to me.
I was doubting that surprises wouldn’t stop appearing here, I knew Pete. Usually he didn’t let me go that easily.

Haha
Great part , loved it

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it!

Loved it!

I think I"m gonna like Pete

Thank you Katja!


Hen, the motorcycle has something to do with it, right?
Anyway, thanks. Gonna try to post more sometime.

New part is here now!



Finally the player agreed to stop playing so I could leave here. I went to bathroom and changed jeans instead of the skirt. It would be easier to sit on the motorcycle. Actually I took the jeans with me because it would be nicer to walk, but it would apply well to this situation too.

Pete was waiting me outside with his bike. On the spur of the moment I went to say to my mom I was leaving. Then I rushed to Pete and grabbed the helmet he was holding and put it to my head.
- As soon as mom appears to the door, let’s go then! I said when I jumped behind him.
Pete looked at me askew but a glimpse to door was enough to explain all. Mom had realized finally that my ride to centre was going to be with two-wheeled. Until this day she had forbidden scooters and all two-wheeled which were bigger than that. I had decided myself that when I would be 18, I would have driving license to cars but also to motorcycles. I wanted to have one myself one day too.

Mom’s wide eyes and terrified look was enough for the credits when I had to come to this party. I waved my hand happily when Pete gave some gas and drove loudly from the front yard. He was jiggling because of suppressing his laugh all the way to the centre. He drove straight to a marketplace where youngsters usually spent their time on weekends and holidays.
Pete parked on the other side of the marketplace and climbed off from the motorcycle after me.
- It’s never boring with you, he still grinned.
- How come? I asked looking like innocent little girl when I gave the helmet to him.
- You’re provoking your mom’s nerves so bad.
- It’s not my fault she thought you were driving with car here. It’s totally her own fault, I said without feeling guilty at all.
- Did I already say how much the ride costs here? Pete asked suddenly.
- Well… The price was that dance? I suggested while bad thoughts started to round in my mind.
- No, that was only a promise from the lift here. It costs a kiss, Pete told me totally calmly.
I burst into laugh. - Don’t you even dream about that! I can pay the gas you used driving here.
- No way, my lifts can’t be paid with money, Pete said strictly.
It started to look like Pete was absolutely serious. I knew what kind of womanizer he was, a new girl almost every week. Was he going to try to hit me?
I turned around and simply left to walk away, but Pete grabbed my hand strictly.
- I guess you didn’t understand this right, Pete said silently and turned my face to him.
- And I guess you didn’t understand either that NO WAY! I yelled.
- Okay. It can be done this way too, he said and chained me tightly against his cycle and kissed me even I tried to stop him.
I was ready to slap Pete straight to his face but he was faster than me and could stop my hand just in time.
- Haven’t they taught any manners to you? Pete asked teasingly.
- Let me go! You’re the meanest person I’ve ever met! I yelled.
- And some time ago you were thanking me how I saved you from your mom, Pete grinned. – Your mood is changing a lot…
I spitted some swore words which would have got many people to blush, but Pete only laughed. I dragged my hand of his and when I was marching away from him, I could still hear his laugh. It got my mood even worse.

It didn’t help at all that I realized our quarrel had got some publicity from the marketplace. Many, too many of my ex-schoolmates were sitting on the other side of the marketplace which was near the bank of the river. They were looking at me interested. This couldn’t become any worse.
- Eve!! Who was that cute boy? a half of the girls were drooling after Pete.
- One asshole, I said giving the last angry glance towards Pete’s back which was becoming tinier and tinier.
- So good-looking guy can’t be an asshole, one of them sighed.
- Oh, yes he can, really easily actually, I said still angrily.
Even he had a dark brown hair and brown eyes and also his being was like a cute boy, it really didn’t tell much about his nature. Pete could be nice and he could behave well but at the same time he could drive other people crazy with his behaviour.
- Is he your boyfriend? one girl asked her mouth wide open.
- No way! I shouted.
I really wasn’t going to lower myself to the level of that kind of Casanova. I wasn’t even interested in having a boyfriend who would be beside me complaining about everything I did. I didn’t require it. I had seen how girls were crying after a boy for days. I think it was just stupid, it was much easier to be alone. I didn’t need to explain where I was going to and where I was coming from. I didn’t need to be jealous of every word which was said to the opposite sex.
- Why were you kissing then if he wasn’t your boyfriend? a girl asked.
- It was a payment of the lift here, I answered murmuring.

It continued with the same way all night. Many people couldn’t believe that Pete wasn’t my boyfriend. They thought it was weird I hadn’t told them I had a boyfriend. On the contrary I had given an image I didn’t need boyfriend. Finally I couldn’t stand any questions or conclusions about the relationship between me and Pete. I left to walk around the city centre hoping that there would be someone wise person I could talk with. I saw some people I knew but they were so drunk that the conversation wasn’t really wise. I couldn’t understand why they had to drunk even there would have been a reason for that. That’s why I had got some kind of nerd’s reputation because I haven’t ever drunk myself until the drunkenness. I didn’t care about the reputation, my decisions didn’t belong to others.

It was around midnight when I finally left back home. The centre started to be quiet, there were left only the most stubborn drunken people who nobody could stand anymore if you weren’t drunk yourself. There was a new surprise when I got at home. Mom was still awake and wanted to know where I had been and with whom.
- Breathe towards here! she demanded then.
- You should know pretty well that I don’t drink and if do it, I take so little that I’m not drunk, I said but breathed to her.
Maybe it was better not to piss her off anymore.
- We’ll talk about this in the morning, she promised while walking to upstairs.
I sighed and climbed to upstairs too after her. Sometimes I wished I would live all alone.

I knew it! I knew that Pete was going after her!

Amazing part, I liked it (:

You're extremely sure that he was going after her?
Duude, how the hell I can keep my mouth shut now...? haha

Coz i'm cool

Great part!

Thank you girls!

Sorry guys for letting you wait so long... First I wasn't at home for a while and then I had other things to do...




A couple of days later I was again lying in the hammock reading a book. The sun was shining and it was warm outside. A perfect summer weather. But I felt still irritated when I remembered the Sunday morning. Mom had lectured me how I had risked my life with Pete’s motorcycle, I hadn’t told during the all night where I had been, with whom and when I would come home. Like it would have been the first time I was late out. It really wasn’t the first or the last time. Dad tried to speak for me saying I was a sensible girl. It didn’t help at all. Dad was most of the time totally under mom’s thumb so there wasn’t much help of his words. Mom just thought I was rebellious teenager who was testing the boundaries. She couldn’t really understand that I was this kind of person. I couldn’t change to anyone and I didn’t even want that. I even understood that complaining was only because of mom’s nature. She couldn’t tolerate the fact her own child was different than she thought. She couldn’t accept that and tried desperately put me to a mold which she wanted. But I fit so badly to it. I tried to remember me that it was only mom’s way to take care of me. Even so her behaviour irritated me so much sometimes that I just wanted to shake her so badly.

My look attached to the house next to ours. It was the same kind of like our house; two-story wooden house. In the downstairs there were living room, kitchen, utility room, sauna and another bathroom. There were four bedrooms and another bathroom in the upstairs. The neighbour house had been in sale all spring and now it looked like they had found the buyer. In the yard there was a van where they were carrying stuff from. I became curious. What kind of family there would move in?

I got the answer to my question a couple of days later when I woke up in the morning to a sound of a removal van. The sound was so loud that I couldn’t sleep anymore. I was in a bad mood when I went out only because I couldn’t sleep when I wanted. I took the newspaper with me and went to the hammock to read it. I had a straight visual contact to my neighbour’s house so I could examine them in peace. I was reading the newspapers and glancing at my new neighbours at the same time. It seemed that there were parents and a boy about my age in the family. There were also two younger children running around the yard.

I read the papers and there didn’t seem to be any interesting happenings in the neighbour. So I decided to go to rollerblade when the weather was perfect for that. I did about 20 kilometres long circle and when I came back the removal van had disappeared and the neighbourhood looked calm. I took a shower and went to take clothes from my room. I took a T-shirt and shorts from my closet. I could see the neighbour’s house from my window and I automatically had a look at it. I already turned away but suddenly I felt there was something wrong in the image I had seen. I went back to my window and examined the view again. The boy I saw earlier was sitting on the roof. What the hell he was doing there? The landscape couldn’t be so stunning, there was a forest behind the house and in front of it only same kind of houses. I followed that boy all day and mostly he was sitting on the roof without doing anything special. Sometimes he climbed down but after a short moment he had appeared there again. I felt really curious against this boy. During many days when I saw him, he was sitting on the roof. I had always been curious about other people and this kind of weird behaviour just raised it.

One day I couldn’t help myself anymore. The boy from the neighbouring house was sitting on the roof again, his back leaned against the chimney. I decided to climb to the roof of our house if I could understand why that boy was sitting there so often. I took the same kind of position like the boy but I couldn’t notice anything that would have explained everything. And the boy even didn’t notice me, after a moment he climbed down and went in. I still stayed on the roof, I didn’t have better things to do. It didn’t take long when the boy rushed back and climbed very quickly to the roof. Then I noticed how the little siblings, a girl and a boy ran around the corner and started to yell and complain that they wanted to the roof too. Mom chased the kids away soon so they wouldn’t really start climbing along the ladder. Was the boy hiding from those lively little children? I realized the boy was staring at me curiously. I smirked to him and after a while there appeared a grin to his face. How could I talk to him without looking like a total weirdo?

An opportunity for that was offered easier than I could believe. The next day I was out in our front yard bouncing a basket ball and throwing it to basketball hoop which was hanging on the wall of our garage. I had played basketball together with Timo a short while ago but then he had to leave to see his friend. All of a sudden I saw how a ball flew from the neighbour’s garden to ours. I took the ball and walked to the railing which separated our gardens.
- I guess this is yours, I said askew look on my face, looking at a girl and a boy who looked so much like themselves.
- Yeah, we were playing with it, the boy said and I gave the ball to him.
I couldn’t see any adults in the garden to look after these perhaps about 4-year-old twins.
- Are you totally alone here? I asked.
- No, Vili is there, the girl said and pointed towards the roof.
- And he should be looking after us but he’s only sitting there, the boy continued.
- But he can see you very well from there, I tried to explain.
- Could you go there and say to him that he should come down, please, the girl asked nicely.
- But you two could shout to him yourselves, I suggested.
- He won’t believe us, the boy claimed.
- Why would he believe me then? I asked.
- You’re big, the boy started, and you can sit on the roof too, the girl continued.
- Well, okay, I’ll talk to him but I won’t promise anything, I agreed finally and climbed over the railing to neighbour’s garden.
I walked to the other side of the house and started to climb up along the ladder. For a moment a thought what the hell I was doing again appeared to my mind but I ignored it. At least there was happening something different. I sat down near to the boy, on the rooftop.
- There are some people who would miss you down there, I said after a short silent moment.
- Yes. Okay. It’s the same for me, the boy called Vili said.
- The same for you? I raised my eyebrow askew. – Shouldn’t you take care of those little kids?
- Yeah, I should. But I don’t give a shit about that.
I was wondering what kind of angst-ridden teenager I had got as my neighbour.
- Okay. I’ll tell it to them, I said and I was already ready to climb down.
- Why did you even climb here? he asked even so.
- Your little siblings asked me if I asked you to come down.
- Actually those kids aren’t my relatives at all, the boy said.
- A blended family? I made an askew sound.
- Yeah, dad found a new woman. He didn’t only remember to tell me that there would come two that kind of pain in the ass with the woman, before I gave my permission to their being together, Vili told bitterly. – And then we moved here in the middle of nowhere, where is nothing!
I understood that Vili hadn’t accepted his new life situation yet. I felt he would need a neutral person to talk with now.
- What if we would go down and would talk there more? I suggested carefully.
Vili seemed to be that kind of guy who would get mad easily so I didn’t want to make him angry right away. After a little nod we climbed back down. There were waiting two impatient children.
- Okay, go to play now, Vili chased the kids away.
- Oh, I didn’t even introduce myself at all. My name is Eve, I said.
- Yeah, I have heard when your bro has shouted your name. And I’m Vili. But I guess you already knew that, he smiled.
- Yes, nice to meet you, I smiled him back.
Maybe the summer wouldn’t be so boring after all.
