A Random Girl in California

Chapter 18: A Surprised Mood

It is a wonderful Monday morning, waking up with a huge, much brighter smile on her face; she knew it was school week.

So rising up and cleaning up her bedroom, Mama Louisa came in and said, "Hey, good morning, Melly, I have called Mike's parents about yesterday event, and I called them again, to ask permission if Mike would be able to be your ride for the week, because of mine and your father's schedule, by our office. So are you okay with that?" With a huge smirk and happy look at her face, Michaela said, "Yes, mother, I would appreciate that pretty much, thanks for the recommendation, for the lift of course." Adding on, will my brother come along too?" Answering quickly her daughter, Mama said, "Yes, Lucas will ride along you guys, for the week. So get ready now, go and wake up your brother, make each other breakfast, okay, and you know the rest. I got to go, bye, see you guys later and behave yourselves." As soon Mama left the house, the task had started and on time too. Lucas immediately woke up, greeted Michaela, saying, "Good morning, Mel, where is the rest of us?" Answering her brother, she said, "Mother, Daddy and Daniel went out early today, and also Mother and Daddy will be having a busy schedule this week, so they will not be able to drop us early at school too. So mother called our dear friend, Mike, to be our ride, this week, for picking up and dropping us back here after school. Are you okay with that, Lu?" With a calm silly look, he said, "Alright, I am gonna get ready and do the other stuff. Can you make us breakfast, sister?" Walking away, she said, "Yes, I am going to do that now, boo. Get ready!"

I can never get over the amazing sunrise here, in the villa and in the heart of California. Especially when this weekend, it's my second match up, in basketball, against a team from South Korea. Amazing team, but locally famous back in their home, of course. This basketball season is at the elimination round, so they are our second team. Cannot wait to win this round, and make it to the top 10 team, nationally. It is a huge expectation, if you ask me, but I am confident that my teammates will make it, as their captain and leader.

It is school week, and I have received a very friendly request of being Miss Johnson ride for this week, which made me happy and highly lifted, with happiness, and excited. Alongside with her brother, Lucas, so I am thrilled about it. So as I am getting ready to leave, alongside with my brother, Jack, Mother, Daddy and the twins had waves us goodbye. Jake was the first to say, "You look really happy these days, may I know why you are or should I guess this time?" Laughing and giggling, I said, "I am going to give you a lot of reasons, starting with number one. I am have been hired to pick Aunty Louisa's daughter and her brother for the week, because of their busy schedules, number 2, we as a team, we going to have an upcoming match against the teams of South Korea, and thirdly, I finally going to asked Miss Johnson, on a real one-one date with me, soon." As soon I was done, we have arrived by Michaela's place, waiting outside with her brother, Michaela had locked the gates, and headed straight for the front seat of the truck. As she was seated, I greeted her with a huge smile on my face, saying, "Good morning, there, again, Mel, how are you? And hi there, little buddy, how are you, man?"

Lucas, all buckled up with a seat belt, he said, "Yes, I am doing good, Mike, and thank you for the ride for this week, I appreciate it." Stunned by his answer, I said, "Don't mention it I like your family a lot, so anything, I am here. No pressure." When I was done saying that, Michaela said, "Yes, we have noticed it and to add, a very Good morning to you, and I am doing well though. Just happy for you being our ride this week, Mike, so thank you for that." Focusing on what I was doing, I just smiled and parked the truck in front of Lucas's school. I came out from the car and said, "No stress, Mel, I can drop him. Be back soon." I left and walked alongside Lucas until the school gate, he did a quick goodbye, telling him that I will pick him up after school and told him to have a good time in school. I returned, turned on the vehicle and quickly drove to park my car by my park spot, by the school parking lot.

As we were entering the school gates, a group of girls were jumping and quacking with joy, and they were laughing and smiling to Jake, making  Michaelq and I very uncomfortable, so luckily, in our relief, our friends came out from the crowd, and joined Mel and me. I was the first one to say, "Hey guys, nice seeing you guys on this amazing morning of CA, so what's seems to be the huge moment there?"

After a awkward moment from the entering of the school doors, we had assembly time, and during that summit, the principle gave the school announcement about what's happening this week, for example, the school will be celebrating school day, on the special date of when the school built and took one year and 6 months, to get these results. Next, an upcoming basketball game on a Saturday against a team, here on the basketball court, and other upcoming school activities and sport that our school represent, will be happening this week.

The reason why the girls came running to Jake this morning, was because, he signed to make a publicity on the new sporty perfume for the young boys, also modeling one of Reebok clothes and accessories. As a new face, he has got many fans, and some of them are yes, girls! The only person that was somewhat okay, was Daphne, I could see it. As I was walking with her, she said, "Yea, I am not okay with this fame, especially with all that girls reaching him, and taking pictures with him. I feel uncomfortable, about this, but deep down, with all this sadness, I am proud him, I do see him as a model and a famous player on his team, and I realized that I should support him, through anything, or most of it. I must just remind him and be there for him before he decides anything, together with his parents' support and permission.
