Everyone wrote theirs and put it in the box, we shook it and took a random paper out we waited till everyone got one and opened ours my heart missed a beat as i read it. no no noooo there's no way i'm doing this no no noo this is not happening . I hate this resolution thing now !
I can't believe i'm going to be doing skateboarding for the whole of next year , this is torture i hate skateboarding. Just imagine a hijabi skateboarding not any hijabi this one me YASMIN JONES on a skateboard.
"WHO ON EARTH WROTE THIS ON ?" i shouted pointing at the crumpled skateboarding paper in my hand
Ella started giggling and she owned up by saying " I did"
"Why would you write skateboarding ?" i asked
" I can't predict the future how would i know you would get it " she said rolling her eyes and giving me a 'duh' look
"Arghhhhhhh i hate you Ella" i screamed
"That's not a nice way to speak to our guest , young lady" my mum spoke
" yes young lady don't speak to me like that it's not my fault that you got skateboarding i got much worse but you can cry " Ella said like a baby even though she was 17
" I got joining a football club but luckily i don't have to do it because i'm already in one" Xander boasted
"I got eating mum's cooking for 3 months good luck to me if i'm in hospital you know why " James said as his mum glared at him
"Paul your so lucky you didn't do it" i said
"Yep at least i don't have to waste my money like last year by buying this idiot a bloody car" Paul said he was so quiet today he rarely spoke he was just sitting there texting someone, paul didn't join because he said he wasn't risking wasting money because he was moving out of his mom's house in a month. Uncle Jerry and Aunty Ava had a divorce so they didn't live together.
"I got being nice to your siblings for 2 months mmhm let me guess who wrote it you"Sarah said pointing at me with her long red fake nails
I laughed and said "At least you know me so well"
"It was supposed to be for me but alhamdulillah i didn't get it haha" Xander said sticking his tongue at me as he stood up to pour a glass of apple juice in the kitchen
" I got trying snails at a expensive restaurant " Ella said as she cursed under her breath
" I wrote that one for Yaz" Xander shouted from the kitchen
"It's getting late guys yallah lets go upstairs to bed "mum said
"But we have to see the fireworks mum" Arlo argured
"Sorry habbibi but not this year you can see it next year inshallah" mum said to Arlo
Arlo and April were so quiet today they were sitting on the dining table playing card games and we were sitting on the couch doing our resolution while mum and aunt ava were sitting on the floor talking about 'adult stuff'.
We went upstairs to get ready for bed , i gave Ella a new pair of my pajamas and got them mattresses to sleep on. They were sleeping in my room on the floor. I made wudu and prayed isha then went to bed.
"goodnight guys" i whispered
"night" sarah whispered
"Can i ask you something please"ella asked
"what" i said
"erm why do you keep chocolate and crisp packets under your bed , your such a weirdo" she muttered
My face flushed with hotness i felt so embarrassed , i knew i shouldn't cleaned my room and listen to my mum for once.
"Night anyways" Ella whispered as everything around me blurred

I woke to the the fresh breeze and the beaming sun shining in my eyes and of course my loud alarm. I checked the time realizing it was only 9:24 and it was a sunday so i decided to rest my head for a few minutes but i could hear my mum speaking loudly to someone on the phone which disturbed me. I looked down forgetting my cousins slept over and i took out my phone to take a picture of sarah she was sleeping with her mouth open and she was drooling everywhere. I took lots of pictures and sent it to her snapchat. I put my phone on my wooden table next to my bed and did my morning stretches until my phone buzzed twice. It was my dad i couldn't believe my eyes i rubbed them making sure i wasn't dreaming .
"hello baba"i stuttered
"Hi my darling how are you doing ?"my dad said
"baba did you get my voicemail?"
It was a awkward silence between us he didn't say anything i decided to speak if he wasn't going to.
"baba are you okay? When are you coming back? How long is this work trip?" i asked my mind was fuming with questions i had more to ask but i didn't want to ask too many
"woah woah slow down how many questions are you asking ? i don't know how long i'll be here but i have something to tell you it's very impo" before my dad could say anything else i stopped him "What is it just tell me ?" i asked quietly realising ella and sarah were sleeping on the floor
"I can't really tell you now when the time comes i will tell you inshallah my darling" my dad said quietly
"Why can you just tell me now please you might be busy next time so maybe you won't be able to tell me"
"sorry i got to go habbiti tell your brothers i love them and tell april too ma'salama" he said quickly and ended the call
I sunk my head in my pillow and cried thinking about everything , today was going to be a long day and then i thought of school tomorrow and cried more. I just wish i could rest and watch netflix all day with amina. I love my cousins they are very kind and caring and respectful because they respect my family because we are muslims and i love my auntie ava because after my mum became muslim her parents cut her off but my aunty was always there for my mum but now alhamdulillah my mum is talking with her parents now , she calls them every week .
