Finding Them [ON HOLD]

Chapter-4

Ira's pov

Wow… I still can't believe this. I got in. Should I wake mom and dad? No, I really don't want to argue with them. Oh, did I mention that they don't want me to move away for high school? Yeah, they don't.

My sister, Rose, has always told me to go to high school or college in Santa Cruz. I don't know why, but Stella and I checked the city out last year and it was amazing! So, we convinced our parents to send us there for high school.

My parents still don't want me to go, but they don't have a choice. Why? Because before she left, Rose wrote my parents a letter telling them to let my brother and I do what we like. That was her last wish, and I'm really thankful to her for that.

I opened my bedroom door slowly, trying not to wake anyone up, and went down the hallway to Ray's room. I twisted the door knob quietly as I went in and closed the door behind me.

"Wake up sleepy head!" I whisper-yell in his ear.

"WHO IS THIS?!?" He suddenly gets up and yells, hitting me with his hands.

"Oww! Shut up you idiot!!" I tell him as I cover his mouth.

"Ira? What are you doing here? Don't tell me you were trying to pull a prank on me again."

"No, stupid! I came here to tell you that I got accepted into Muart High!!"

"Congrats dude!" Ray said, patting me on the back and giving me a thumbs up.

"Ok, go away now."

"Fine," I say as I walk back to my room. I was very tired, so I just turned off the lights and went to bed.

~The next day

As soon as I woke up, I went downstairs to tell my parents the good news... or the bad news. I don't know what they will think of it.

"Mom, Stella and I got in! We got the email last night!!"

"WHAT?!"

"Yeah..."

"Oh, um, okay! Congrats sweetie."

"When does the school start?" My dad asks.

"Umm, I think in a week."

"Just check once again!" My mom says as she signals me to check my phone. I am 101% sure that it starts in a week, but I check once to please them.

"See, I told you, it starts in 1 week, so I have one week to pack," I say to my parents, showing them the phone screen. They don't really look that happy, but who cares? I don't.

"Fine, I'll book your flight soon," my dad says as he leaves for work.

"Tell me when you want to pack Ira. I'll take a leave on that day!" My mom says as she exits too. Ray's already at his college, so I just go back to my room and take a shower.

It's 1 o'clock now, so I go to the kitchen to make myself a sandwich for lunch. I take my food, turn on the TV, and start eating.
