•SALOME ALAN•

I've been trying to distract myself from thinking too much about what I saw and heard on Saturday. It wasn't pleasant to my ears at all, my Dad announcing to me that he proposed to Maria that same day. At first, I laughed it off, saying he's joking, not until I saw a gold ring glistening on Maria's left hand.

"We will go on with planning the wedding and all, just wanted to tell you..."

My Dad's words replay in my head, making my heart remorse in pain. I glanced at my aunty but she looked like she had nothing to say and is equally accepting it. From then, I ran up to my room in tears and haven't gone out since then.

Today is Monday and I'm still lying beneath my duvet, forcing my eyes close to go back to sleep. That's the only way I can prevent over thinking for while. Hopefully.

A light knock jolts me to open my eyes again, accompanied by aunt Jenny's voice.

"Salome..." She calls and I can hear her sigh before saying something else. "Open the door."

I groan loudly so she'll know I'm awake but just don't want to answer. I feel bad for shutting her out but it's just too much right now. I can't imagine myself with a step mom. A mom who I didn't grow with, all of a sudden acting like she has known me forever.

"You're keeping me standing Salome, it's not fair at all." Aunt Jenny says in a low voice and I glance to my bedroom door, pushing my thoughts to the side and sluggishly get up to open it.

I turn the knob open and Jenny looks at me before walking in. She seat on the foamy stool and cross her legs and arms.

"Missed me?" She asks, a lopsided grin on her face and I sigh softly, move toward my bed and bounce back on it.

I drop my eyes to my hands, I know she's not happy with me but is just trying to cover it up. Aunt Jenny has always been like that but now I feel I'm taking advantage of her.

"Don't tell me you're not going to school today." Her voice make me raise my head Instantly, I've totally forgotten about school.

"I'm sorry..." My voice is low and calm, it wasn't my intention to act rudely but it just came over me.

My aunt smiles, nodding.

"It's okay. What you should do right now is get ready for school." She glance st the wall clock. "It's 7:03, you should be fast, we'll talk later. Okay?"

I find myself nodding, her energy influencing mine. I get up from my rumpled bed, pull out my uniform from the wardrobe and walk to the bathroom. But then, I spin around when I remember the good news I forgot to tell Jenny.

Excitedly, I drag my foot back to her and she raise her head to see me.

"Guess what aunty!" I say, popping my hip to the side, standing akimbo and she arch a brow, probably wondering what's going on.

Jenny giggles, getting up.

"What is it, Salome?" She asks, bobbing her head to the side.

I press my lips to stop my lips from stretching in a smile. I think I now agree with the lineage that money makes people happy. Or money makes me happy rather.
