I looked at Harvey with wide eyes. "That's alright, Harvey. Why don't we just continue our date? HMMMM??????" I try to get him out of a rage trance.
Harvey stood up and held out his arm for me. "You're right, hon. I think it's best we enjoy this day." Harvey pulled me closer to him, making it visible to the girls that me and him are really legit.
We could hear the irritaue grunts and curses of the girls as we walked away and start to hike down the mountain.
"I'm sorry we had to leave early. I don't want them to ruin our day." Harvey said as we hiked down.
"it's alright. We can just go have a walk in the park if you want." I suggested.
"Then let's go." Harvey said.
_____________________________________________
Me and Harvey walked in a city park where th people don't know us. Harvey drove to this place because I know that he cares about me and because of the rumours that would be circling the town if we'd be seen together. I already know that Ruby, Sierra, and Cindy are gossip girls who know a lot of people and it would really damage my sanity if I were the talk of the town.
Me and Harvey set up a picnic in a part of the park where there is shade and a few couples around us.
"Caroline..." Harvey gently called.
"Yes?" I looked at him looking at the clouds.
"I really did talk to your parents about moving and they gave their blessing for me to marry you."
My eyes widened as I looked at Harvey in disbelief. "You really did?! When???"
Harvey sat next to me and puts an arm around my shoulder. "Last month. We're moving in two months. You'll be having your debut after we move. You're family will be living to where your aunt, uncle and cousins are since they requested it. I promised them a good life and the best life for you."
I looked at him, still processing everything.
"Harvey, are we really getting married?" I looked at him with a smile.
Harvey nodded. "Yes we are. but whenever you're ready."
I sudden had all this confidence surge through my body. I felt that I am more...more...I don't really know.
I looked at Harvey and gave him a grin. "Let's get married in the eighth of December." Which is five months away.
Harvey looked at me with an overjoyed expression. "We're not in a hurry, hon but if you want to then it's settled."
I hugged Harvey and felt very happy. "I love you, Harvey."
"I love you too, Caroline."

We went home and took Bruno for a walk. We walked around the neighborhood when the time where the older people are out.
I got nervous when I started hearing the women whisper and I held Bruno's leash tight, convincing myself that they're talking about something else.
We walked by Boris' house and his mom and Sierra's mom were outside. I heard them talk to each other since they were not even whispering.
"She's the smartest girl in our sons' school but what is she doing being with a boy? She'll ruin her life if this goes on." Boris' mom said.
Sierra's mom nodded. "I bet she'll be a part of THAT percentage of girls."
Harvey held my hand tightly and walked faster til we were far away from them.
He huffed. "I change my mind. We're moving next week."
"Next week?" I asked in shock. That's not enough time.
Harvey gave me a sad smile. "I've had enough the people here treating you badly and seeing you suffer. I'm sick of not doing anything about it." Harvey gave me a tight hug and patted my back. "You don't need to worry about your stuff, I'll help you pack. I promise it will be enough time to say goodbye to your friends." Harvey said as he looked at me in the eyes.
My phone started ringing and I answered it while Harvey gives a couple of treats to Bruno.
It's Briana's number.
"Hello, Briana?"
"Hello, Caroline."
Oh it's Briana's mother, aunt Lois.Maybe she's looking for Briana. Maybe she forgot to bring her phone with her. Unfortunately, I don't know where she is.
"Aunt Lois. Did Briana forget to bring her phone with her?" I asked.
Briana's mom sighed. "Actually..."
I gasp.
"What?!"
