It was last lesson, there were only a few minutes left of it. We had French with Madame Mitchell and she was strict as hell. I sat at the back just to catch up with the gossip, to be hones, no one was listening to the Madame. I was constantly steering at the clock until Madame asked me a question.
"Mlle. Martin que faites-vous le week-end?" She crossed her arms. I sat petrified thinking what the fuck she said.
" She asked what are you doing in the weekend..." this guy behind me whispered.
"En dormant?" I said quietly.
"Pardon?" Madam raised her voice.
"Je dormirai." same guy whispered . I repeated it and the bell went. I just threw everything in my bag and went to my locker. Took my jacket and that and started walking towards the exit of the school. I had plenty of time till I had to meet jasmine in the schools car park. So I took the public buss again. I had to walk a bit to get to the nearest bus stop but once I got there it was crowded. I checked my phone to see if I had any messages and I had one from dad.
Dad: Hello honey. hope you had a good day.
Me: it was great.
Dad: glad to know.
I didn't think it was right for me to reply back, if I did we would've gone into details about everything so I plugged in my earphones and waited for the bus to come. I looked around and saw loads of familiar faces. I saw this guy that does physics with me. The jocks kept looking at me and talking to each other. I just ignored them.
The buss finally came and I got on and sat at the back, great! So did the jocks, it's like they were encouraging this guy to talk to me. I tried to ignore them but it was really hard because they were so loud I Could cut their throats off. But it wasn't long until the buss stopped at a station near my house and I got off. I was so happy to leave the jocks, they better not go to Jasmines party. I got pretty close to my house and I saw someone's car parked in our drive way which made me anxious because, we don't have a car. I looked around and started fast walking towards my house. I got to the drive way and looked at the car. it looked pretty expensive. I walk up to the porch and slowly open the front door, I could hear my dad talking to a woman, I tiptoed towards the living room and saw that they were having coffee.
"Lourdes! Come sit down." dad said tapping the sofa. I walked over and dat down with my bag on my lap. " this is your godmother Sarah." Dad said really happy. I never knew I had a godmother. she seems really nice. she had blonde hair up in a ponytail and green eyes.
"She offed you to live with her."
"What..." I looked at him madly.
"It's for your own good." he put his hand on my lap.
"Trust me honey." she said. I nodded.
"That's good then!"she said laughing." were moving your stuff on Sunday morning." she smiled. Thats 3 days away, I won't be able to help Jasmine. Thank god.
I would have to leave dad behind in Carolina and move to wherever she lives. I was gonna miss Carolina, I was gonna miss Tina and dad but you know, life is worth changing, starting it again, the way you want it to be, not the way people make it. I really want to stay but I feel like I should move on.
I thought about spending the last days with Tina because we've been blood sisters since forever! Since I started high school.
I smiled at them and walked into my room. I couldn't feel my body or my mind, I laid on the bed and wanted to cry but I couldn't. I knew id have to tell Tina tomorrow. I kept thinking about LA until my phone vibrated in my bag, I roll off the bed and went to get it. I'd got a message from unknown.
Unknown: Hi u were supposed to meet me? Remember? 😡
Me: Uhh yea, I had a emergency.
I knew it was Jasmine, since I was supposed to meet her.
Jasmine: fine, but help me hand the flyers tomorrow😢
Me: sure...
I didn't get an answer after that. I sat at my desk and took my physics homework out, I tried dong it but it was complicated when you had loads of thing on your mind, so I thought some music would help, so I put Meet me half way by Black eyes peas, old but class song. so I was kinda singing along and trying to do the dam homework because it was getting late, I've nearly finished my homework but I could hardly keep my eyes open and fell asleep, but not for long. What would dad do on his own? He won't be okay, all these thoughts are destroying me. I won't be selfish and just move. I'm staying, doing it for dad. I've lost mom, won't loose dad this time. I got off the bed and went over to the living room where dad is 24/7 stuck to his chair watching TV. I sat on the sofa that was next to him and he smiled at me.
"Everything alright?" He took a sip out of his coffee, he was staying up late to watch this soccer match or something I don't know.
"Yea, I mean no, I don't want to move-" I said disquieted.
"Honey, this is your chance to begin again, it's a chance-- that you may never get again." He looked at me confused.
"It not about the chance!." I said raising my voice. "Its you that I am worried about!" I slowly inhaled he turned the TV off and looked at me.
"I will always be fine, you need to stop worrying about me."
"It's kinda hard." I mumbled.
"You need to take the opportunity Lour, don't worry about me, I've got your mother in my heart, I'll be fine." we not smiled at each other and hugged. "Now go to bed" he tapped my back. I stood up and went back.
