Dallas and I ended up winning. He practically carried us through a landmine and No Man’s Land to win. The most points I got out of the two matches was 70. I don’t even know how it’s possible to be so bad at bowling.

Today is Thanksgiving, and Dallas and his parents are coming over for dinner. I have never met his dad before, and I’m a little nervous to do so. It’s clear that he’s distant from his family. Is it going to be obvious? Will it be awkward?

Dallas informed me that he’d be over at noon to help set up and make dinner. When I tried to deny him, he insisted and didn’t leave room for argument.

It was kind of him; I didn’t expect him to want to help make dinner. He didn’t look like the type who slaved in the kitchen. Maybe there’s a lot I don’t know about Dallas.

No, I know there is a lot.

I decide to dress up again today, mostly because it’s a holiday and partially because Dallas will be here. I’m wearing a honeydew green sweater dress that meets at my mid-thigh with knee-high brown boots. I also accessorize with a long silver locket that my mom bought for me many years ago. It holds a picture of my dad. I then decided to straighten my hair and then pull half of it back, so my bangs aren’t in my face.

Pleased with my appearance, I go downstairs to see my mom dressed in a long black dress with a belt at the waist. My sister is wearing a red dress with a bow at the back that is very flattering on her. I can tell she’ll get a lot of male appraisal in high school.

“You look beautiful. Again,” Katie says, walking over to hug me, and I roll my eyes, glancing at the clock. Dallas will be here in ten minutes.

We stayed out later than I anticipated, going to Steak N’ Shake afterward, where we hung out for another two hours. I didn’t get home until one in the morning. Luckily, my mom didn’t mind or wait up for me.

Therefore, I slept in later than usual, waking up at ten. It’s the latest I’ve slept since summer.

“Thank you. Mom, do you need any help?” I call out to the kitchen.

“Yeah, you can get all the bowls and trivets out!” she hollers back to me. I walk into the kitchen and grab our nice glass bowls that we use whenever we have company. I set them on the kitchen counter next to the sink. I then grab three trivets from the drawer and carry them to the dining room table, where I lay them out.

A knock sounds at the door, and I look at the clock. He’s early.

“Come in!” I shout. I hear the door open and glance over my shoulder to see Dallas walk in, a bouquet of pink roses in his hand. He’s dressed in nice black slacks with a dark blue shirt tucked in.
