STRANIERA

Part 8

I walk onto my new place.A place I rather don't want to live in.It is a very small cube house with white walls and the roof ,well it was a zinc roof. And the house was in the middle of the field about 5km away from the school .There was nothing around me just golden yellow grass-no followers.

I walk inside and yuck.There was a single bed in the corner and the toilet just there in the open,no door. And then a small muffed wooden kitchen. Well,they didn't lie when they said they're poor.

I turn around and Miss Geller smiles at me.I put a fake smile on , "Well it's something else" I said and my yaw starts to hurt from my fake smile. A lot of fake smile heading their way ,that is a promise.
"It's not much ,but I hope you can call it home." 'Home' is a strong word for this place this ,I hope is a temporary place and that I can scrap a few money together so I can move into the city.Then again I don't have a car so probably I should save money for that first.
"Yea" ,yet again a fake smile.

"Where can I freshen up,it has been a long trip and I don't see any bath or shower in my home?" "Sorry about that there is no water in the ground here and we can't afford pipes to lead the long distance. You can just walk to the school and around the corner there is a bathroom." "Sleep well." She said with a motherly smile and she felt like a godmother,bubbly babble boo. She turned around and her long white lace dress sweep against the rough floor as she exit my home. As she walked out into the fields she kinda looked like a floating angel.

I put my bags and boxes on top of the mattress.I grab my toiletries and some clean clothing.The best thing right now would be clean clothing.I close the zink door behind me and I stumble . I start walking to the bathroom.

It's about after 18:00 p.m and the sky is light blue and a little touch of purple.It is beautiful.I stood still for a second or two just taking in my surroundings and enjoying the landscape.

I start walking again, it's a long walk to the bathroom.My feet still hurts and I can't wait to wash of the dry blood. I enter the bathroom and it had touch of green, and I don't mean a touch of green paint ,I mean a touch of green mold. A lot of touch of green mold.

I get out of the filthy onesie , the yellow has faded.I trough it in the dustbin next to the broken toilet and I step into the shower.

"BLOODY HELL!" I yell out,this water is colder than Mount Everest.

I move the shower head away from my body and hide my body in the corner of the shower.
The shower wasn't very big,it was a shower and bathtub ,2 in 1. I'm very glad I didn't decide to bath ,it reminds me of football players after practice sitting in filled up ice cubes bath.

I spat a few drops of water on me ,there is no chance I'm getting under that water.I decide to sit on the bottom of the bathtub and I put my feet under the cold water.It helps to relieve the pain of the cuts  ,but my body is freezing.

I wash my body continuously participating the the spatting method to wash of the soap. I get out of the shower as soon as possible and wrap myself inside my towel.I sat myself on the toilet seat  and waited until my body dried itself.

I got dressed and slip into flip flops and when I exited the bathroom it was pitch black outside. And something I admired at the moment was the stars.That's not something you can see in Toronto ,but something that you can admire in Canada are the lights. I enjoy the stars more at this moment.

I walk back to my house and the only thing that I'm thinking about is that I really hope there isn't a snake in these grasses because that would be the cherry on the cupcake for this day.

Luckily I reached my doorstep snake free.I breath in the fresh air.Something I quite enjoy about this place is the fresh air and not the stuffy air like in the city.I already found two silver linings:
1.)The fresh air
2.)And the beautiful landscape at night.

As I walk to open the door I spot I brown object what I assume is just a leaf.I step on it to hear that satisfying crack.A high pitch screeching sound emanated from my vocal cords. Out of reaction I jump and forget to hold my grip on the towel.The towel falls off my naked body. "Oh,shit!" I bend to collect my towel and take in my surroundings  to make sure nobody saw my naked ass. "Ribbit." "Shit",my towel fell again.That disgusting little thing.I bend down to be level with the frog blowing at it to make it move. "Come on little ugly creature." "Ribbit."  "Come on pretty , pretty froggy...Oh,screw you!" "Bye-bye hideous thing." I wave at it as it flies thru the air. Yes,I kicked it. No,I don't feel guilty."

I move the boxes and bags from my mattress to the floor and grab a blanket I packed in.I didn't packed in a whole converter,so the blanket is going to have to do the job.

I wrap myself inside the blanket and reach for my phone.No service.Great.I can't message my mom and talk to her about my awful day ,filled with dumb decisions like in the olden days when Danny was still with us.

I shut down my phone and erase the memory.I have made peace that nothing will be the same again.Not because it's not possible,but because we as a 'family' chose to go our separate ways.I hated that for us,I wished we were stronger.I believed we could have carried each other's weight and sadness,but instead we hid behind close doors and cried ourselves so sleep-alone.
