What am I going to say?
5-16-06
What am I going to say, showing up at her house at 10:30 in the morning? She’s probably sleeping. Probably? It’s 10:30 of course she’s sleeping. Even if I do wake her up with the doorbell, there’s no way she’ll get herself ready in time for us to go meet Molly at the intersection... What am I going to say? Well at the very least I can tell her that there’s something wrong with her cell phone service.

What kind of cell phone service doesn’t let you leave messages? Yeah, but would I show up at her door just to tell her that her that there’s something wrong with her cell phone at 10:30 in the morning? I’ll have to tell her about Molly.
Yeah, since all the roads are blocked Molly and I are going to walk around Hooksett and take pictures of the flood.
That’ll work. When have you ever known her to volunteer herself and get dirty or wet...? She’ll probably make that face, curling one side of her lips and say those two words I loathe most coming from her: I guess. I guess, with no heart behind them, and clearly no desire to actually do what is proposed. She just does it to stay in the loop. She’ll say I guess because Molly is going to be there. If it was just me asking her to come outside in the rain (even during the most exiting thing that has happened to Hooksett since 1938) then she would say: I don’t know. Then she would hesitate as she thought of something else that we could do or something else that she should be doing. Or my favorite, she’ll stall. She’ll show me something online, or on her favorite video game, until it's time for me to go home.
Maybe she won’t be there. Or maybe I won’t be able to wake her up. Maybe I should only ring the doorbell once, if her cell phone didn’t wake her up, then the doorbell surely won’t. Well, if no one answers the door, I’ll just leave my bike by the boat and walk down the hill to wait for Molly. What if her parents wake up? What will I say to them? I’ll just ask them if Kelly’s awake. Then they’ll tell me that she’s not, so I’ll turn around, wait for them to close the door, and go put my bike by the boat.
What if she is awake and her parents are just the ones who open the door? What if they don’t let her out in this weather? It’s not safe. We might drown. We might get arrested. What if there’s an officer by the road block and he’s not letting anyone through? What if Molly’s not there? Should I try and walk through to her house? How long should I wait for her? How long will she wait for me? If I tell the officer my story, will he let me walk through? What if I promise not to take any pictures? It is rather disturbing that we’re trapped within one square mile of land. There really isn’t any way to get out of here. In fact, if there was school, I don’t even know how I would get there. I’d probably have to take the highway. That’s crazy. I hope school isn’t canceled for too long. I wonder what they’re going to do about the concert on Wednesday... I wonder if we’ll have to go to school on Saturdays... I bet this is all everyone will be talking about for the rest of the school year. I wonder what she’ll have to say about it. Her mom works for the newspaper, I’m sure she’ll know a thing or two about it... So she’ll take on that tone like she knows everything and everything she knows is right because her mother told her so. I’m sick of talking about floods and rain. I should think of a way to avoid bringing it up. How can you possibly avoid bringing it up? What am I going to say, showing up at her house at 10:30 in the morning?
Excellent ending, for once, a full closed circle. There are too many questions, it misconveys the mood of the moment. It sounds panicked while the moment was only mildly stressful. The issue is iffy, there's no organization.
