Hello, Goodbye

part 2

I woke up the next day looking a mess, I slowly sat up and rubbed my eyes before going downstairs to the smell of pancakes. Yum! I sat down and soon enough my dad served them up. We sat there eating them in silence for a moment, "What colour do you want your room to be? I'm going to paint it while your out, oh and I'm going to get you a bigger bed. Do you want a theme for your room? So I know what bed sheets to get." I sat there thinking for a minute.. do I want a themed room? Not really..

"Uh can I just have white walls and uh a white bed sheet.. I have a couple of pillows and blankets that will be shipped over from florida so I'll put those on the bed when they arive to add a bit of colour..." I smiled at my dad as I finnished my pancakes. I stood up and placed the plate in a sink.

"Oh yeah I'm going to make your chores list today aswell, how much pocket money do you want, the more you want the more chores you'll have. No more then 15 dollars per week though." He raised his eyebrows waiting for an answer. "I don't really mind dad, whatever you can afford easily I guess... I don't mind how many chores I get, mum used to make me do all the house work and then I got nothing for it, not even a thankyou.." I yelled down as I began walking up the stairs. I had 45 minutes to get ready for this picnic.

I quickly jumped into the shower and washed my hair. When I got out I realised.. my blinds weren't shut and Samuel is able to see me where he was sitting. I saw him look up and see me before he jokingly covered his eyes. He then got a piece of paper and held it up to the window, 'sorry' I chuckled and signaled that its fine before shutting my blinds.

I sat infront of my suitcase unsure what to wear. I eventually picked up a blue floral summer dress and slipped it on.

(For those who can't picture anything, something like this)

I put my hair in half up half down then curled it and put on some makeup. I hate cake-y looks so I only put on concealer, blush, lip gloss and mascara. It's all I really need to be honest. I rarely get pimples so my skins pretty clear.

I decided to wear my white converse and as if on cue there was a knock on the door. I heard my dad answer it before calling me down, "Yeah I'm coming!" I yelled down, checking myself in a mirror before leaving my room. I saw Sam smile at me as I walked down the stairs. "Okay buttercup please be safe. Samuel please don't let her out your sight. One of you call me if anything happens, okay? Oh and Maddie here's 10 dollars incase you want to get anything." My father pressed some money into my hand.

"Dad I'll be fine I promise." I hugged him tightly before leaving. "So what group are you in at school?" I questioned Sam as we walked to the park. "Well I play football so I mostly just hang around with that lot.." he looked at me with a small smile, "ahhh so your in the popular group then.. noted.." I chuckled, "do you get loads of girls flirting with you?" I teased him as he laughed and rubbed the back of his neck.

We soon arived at the park and I had no idea where to go. I just awkwardly followed Samuel round as he introduced me to people. When we went off to play soccer with alot of the boys I sat down on the grass and saw a group of girls whispering and looking my way. Gosh I wonder who the mean girls are?! I stood up and was about to go over when I stopped myself. I walked over to 3 girls who were also sat on the grass all talking. "Hi... I'm maddie.. I'm joining the school next Monday and wanted to come introduce myself." I gave then a sweet smile.

One of the girls then began speaking, "Hey! Nice to meet you, I'm Ava, that's Hannah and thats Morgan! Sit down!" Ava introduced them all. I sat next to Morgan and we all began talking. From what I can see Ava and hannah are the closer two of their  trio. Morgan was so nice though. We had alot of stuff in common aswell.

Suddenly Hannah spoke up, "how comes you arived here with Sam? He's so cute! And nice! Unlike half the football team." She rolled her eyes making me laugh. "We're neighbours and before I moved to Washington 6 years ago with my mum I lived her so me and Sam were really close but I've moved back in with my dad now so.." I explained. Thats when ava spoke up, "do us a huge favour the first 2 days your at school can you sit with the football team and just talk us up a little then you can come sit with us after! We'd owe you a huge favour!" They squealed making me laugh again.

"Sure! Sam said I can sit with him anyway so I've got to now as he invited me and I don't want to be rude!"

We all talked for another half an hour before I saw Sam walking over with his phone to his ear he then handed it to me, "it's your dad apparently he's been calling you." He chuckled as I rolled my eyes and put it up to my ear.

"Hey dad.." Before he eventually said he back he bombarded me with questions, "are you okay?! Why weren't you answering your phone?! Have you ate?! Drank!? It's hot you need to stay hydrated!" I sat there as he yelled into my ear in a panic.

"Dad. Calm down. I'm fine. I promise." I couldn't help but let out a small laugh. "Okay.. okay just stay safe... see you later then..." I said bye back before my dad hung up and I handed the phone back to Samuel. I know full well I hadn't ate or drank yet but I didn't want people to judge me eating and I wasn't thirsty.

Eventually the whole group of people began playing tag for some reason. I was being chased by someone when suddenly my eyes went fuzzy. I bent over to try and catch my breath but still couldn't see. Soon enough I hit the ground.

I woke up to see Samuel, ava, hannah and Morgan all standing over me and a lot more trying to see what happened behind them. Fuck I must of passed out. "You okay?" Samuel asked while helping me sit up, "here you can have some of my water.." he handed me his water bottle and I took a small sip. I looked round and saw just how many people were looking at me like I was an alien. Samuel must of noticed how nervous I looked because he began telling everyone to stop crowding round me.

"Alright you okay? I'll walk you home... I need to go home anyway  to uh.. uhm.. help my sister with her dance routine..." he stumbled over his words. I felt him helping me up and we began walking back. Soon enough we arived at my house and he knocked on the door but there was no answer. "Oh I think my dad's gone out to get stuff to redecorate my room..." I spoke.

"Uh alright you'll have to come in my house and we'll message your dad.." he suggested while helping me to his house. I was still extremely dizzy so I had one arm over his shoulder and he held onto me by my waist.

He unlocked his door and walked me into the lounge where he sat me down on the sofa. "Uh I'll be right back I'll go get you something to eat and drink..." he mumbled while walking into the kitchen. I heard him whispering to his mum before she walked out and crouched down opposite me.

"Hi sweetie.. you alright? Sam told be you fainted and that your dad's not home... you didn't hit your head did you?" She asked while rubbing my arm comfortingly. I shook my head no.

Sam came out a moment later with a glass of water and a granola bar.. I drank the water bur was hesitant with the granola bar. What if they judged me? I didn't want to be rude though. They were both looking at me waiting for me to eat it making me extremely nervous.

"Uh.. sorry I don't really like eating infront of People..." I mumbled while looking down at my feet. "Sorry sweetie, we'll go into the other room.." Mrs Johnson announced. Once they left I began eating it slowly.. I was looking round when I saw Mrs Johnson watching me by the door frame. She went bright red when I saw her. "Sorry I just wanted to make sure you ate something.. I'll shut the door.." she shut it quickly. I'm so embarrassed I feel like I'm about to cry.

So that's what I did. I silently cried while eating the stupid granola bar. I screwed up the wrapper in my hand and tried to stifle my cries.

Thats when the door slowly opened, "you done? Can we come in?" I heard Sam's voice on the other side of the door. "Mhm.. yeah..." I quickly wiped away my tears but my eyes were still red.. they obviously know I'd been crying based on the awkward silence. Before anyone could say anything there was a knock at the door. Mrs Johnson got up to answer it but Samuel stayed and gave me a pityful look. It's like he wanted to say something but his mouth was glued shut. I saw my dad walk into the room and I smiled.
