Chapter 37 Ada's House
"Actually, what I like most are classical clothing, but those things are really a bit... too heavy. Just talking about those equipment weighs 40 pounds."
What Lisa said was not clothes, but equipment such as waistbands. In the 19th century and even the mid-20th century, clothing like meteors in the upper classes of Europe and the United States. Unlike Catherine, those clothing were extremely terrifying.
40 pounds, almost equivalent to 18 kilograms.
Some girls are even asked to wear masks, single gloves, chastity belts, etc.
However, it is now at the peak of the feminist movement, and various thoughts have been liberated, so few people are advocated now. But tucking is still a popular trend - and it seems to have been popular all the time.
"The most important thing is that those clothes wrap the body completely. Doesn't it look good if you expose some of the skin?"
Ada interjected.
"Maybe I think we should go and discuss the premiere."
Katherine crossed the topic at the right time.
"By the way, it's going to premiere in two weeks...ah, why do I think this summer vacation will be very long?" Lily came to her spirits.
The United States will have a holiday in June, but the club activities are not over yet. Catherine comes to school, in fact, for the gymnastics club... They are going to participate in the performance. Lily and the others come to school because of their respective clubs. Especially for the photography club, the girls are already extremely excited. They come from different places, but for this premiere, they don’t even want to go back, but want to stay until the 30th and wait for the premiere in New York.
Although transportation in the United States is very convenient, it shows from another aspect that the students of the photography club are passionate about this movie.
After all, student movies are rarely screened in cinemas.
"Maybe."
Katherine shrugged.
"Let's go to the photography club tomorrow. Since filming "Blair the Witch", they have been trying to make another movie, and they have already made it. But... hehe, it can only be screened internally."
Obviously, the quality is not good.
After all, Katherine and Aida were the protagonists in the last movie.
Especially in the part where Catherine tells herself to the camera, it can be said that the terrifying atmosphere is strengthened to the extreme.
To be honest, Catherine never thought that she could have such good acting skills. Perhaps there was some gap between her first-tier movie stars in Hollywood, but at least she could not see the appearance of "pretending" and "deliberateness".
"Uh..." Ada was stunned for a moment, then said, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't. I want to go to the hospital with my father for a follow-up visit."
"I'm so sorry."
"It's okay." Ada smiled. But Catherine noticed that things seemed not that simple, and Ada seemed to be hiding something.
After everyone had parted, Catherine found her.
"Ada, what's wrong?"
"Dr. Bitman said that my father's depression seems to be developing towards schizophrenia and rampage. I...I think I should have my father go to the hospital."
It is simply depression, after taking antidepressant drugs and mental guidance, it will develop in a good direction, but if it really develops into schizophrenia or tyranny, it may be a bit dangerous.
After all, American presidents who were shot in history were all killed by mentally ill people. (You know)
"Ada, don't you mind telling me about your father?"
Catherine continued to ask.
Ada did not refuse, and then told the story.
"My father was a veteran during World War II, but in 1946, my mother was dysfunctional...so...and at that time, my father was still in Germany. After he came back, he got the news and he suffered from depression."
"According to the doctor's judgment, it is very likely that my father had a psychological disorder when he was on the battlefield and then caused depression. It is very likely that this disease was also caused by neglecting during previous treatments."
"Ada, can I go to your house?"
Ada was stunned for a moment and then looked at the friendly Catherine, finally hesitated and nodded.
Katherine gently gave Ada a hug.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine."
The biggest convenience for girls to guide girls is that when they are physically in contact, the girl will not be rejected by another girl. And there is a very likely situation of backward payment.
On June 19, 1961, Catherine participated in a school performance, which perfectly put an end to her first school year.
To be honest, the training of gymnastics is not worth mentioning compared to ballet. Especially this is still non-professional.
In fact, the only person Katherine agrees with is President Bonnie, who really looks like she has learned gymnastics.
Moreover, compared with ballet, Catherine also believes that gymnastics is better. After all, although ballet is beautiful, it causes a lot of harm to the body. After every exercise, Catherine will carefully care for herself, for this reason.
As she grew older, Katherine felt that ballet seemed to have become her obstacle, but she was not easy to explain to her mother.
After all, that was her wish.
By the 20th, the photography club began to hold the last screening of the school year, and Catherine accompanied Ada to her home.
Ida lives in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and her home is in a downtown apartment.
In the United States, most of the people living in high-rise buildings are below the middle class. Families like Catherine live more in single houses.
But Catherine didn't expect Ada to live in such a place.
Opening the door, Ada took Catherine into the house.
The house was very neat, but there was actually not much. On one wall, there was a revolver from the 19th-century American Civil War. There was also a leather hood next to it, which seemed to be bullets.
It seems that this is the most valuable thing in the house.
“Like my father participated in World War II, my ancestors participated in the Civil War.”
Ada answered briefly.
"Do you want to drink something?"
"Thank you, no need."
At this moment, a middle-aged man walked out of the inner room.
"Ada, are you back?"
The man is about 180 cm tall, with a little wrinkles on his face, and a calm face. He doesn't look like a mentally ill person at all.
"Yes, dad. This is my classmate, Katherine Ederson. Kate, this is my father, Mars Roster."
"Hello, sir. Just call me Kate."
Katherine smiled friendly at the other party.
