What happens when...

The week went by pretty fast and now I'm laying in bed leaving for lusaka in less than 24 hours.
I haven't come into contact with Adrian since our last encounter. I heard from some of the guys that he was accepted at University of Lusaka due to his athletic abilities.
I spent the entire week hanging out with Kelly, Torah, and Tess trying to keep my mind occupied. We went to the farmhouse antic store, I love vintage things, and I wanted some collectibles to use in my living quaters.
Oh and I finally got my driver's license and it wasn't an easy thing. I first started with practice from home so I wouldn't embarrass myself at the driving school. Trust me it wasn't an easy thing. Dad was very lenient with me which played a huge role in my learning process.
I almost crashed the car several times. I'm not really into cars so I had to get accustomed to operating it. Either way, I passed the test and got my driver's license.
*** ~The Quads~ Group Chat.
Tess: Is anyone active?
Torah: No we're dead.
Tess: I didn't knw the dead could text.
Torah: I was buried with my phone, ever heard of "THE WALKING DEAD?"
Tess: Haha so funny, anyone active other than "the walking dead?"
Kelly: I was enjoying the drama.
Me: Hey stitches.
Tess: okay so let's get to business, oh, and Zozo? That was dry.
Me: what a way to kill someone's morale and don't call me zozo you know how I hate being called that. Anyways what's cutting? must be serious if you're group texting us at this time.
Kelly: yeah, and I hope it is serious because your notifications woke me up. If it is not, know that you'll be a duo of "THE WALKING DEAD."
Torah: please don't start with the drama. (Crying emojis) I'm tired of your boy huffs.
Kelly: please tell me I didn't get woken up to advise on boys because you know I suck at that. Why didn't you just directly text Zoe, we all know that she's the queen at relationship talks even if she doesn't follow the advice that she gives out.
Tess: I'll pretend as if I haven't seen your text @Torah because I'll walk to your room and murder you for real and Kelly? ill make sure to disturb your sleep at a more inappropriate time when next I get the chance.
Me: why is everyone talking about murder? that's my thing ( crying emoji)
Tess: Anyways, Zayne said he likes me. (Skeleton emoji) that scares me.
Me: Scares you?
Tess: yes scares me, what if he just wants to use me? I don't want to get my heart broken again. I closed off from this so-called love shit, I promised myself to never date. But with him? it's different and that scares the living daylight out of me.
Torah: You guys should just fuck already, I see how you look at each other with hypersexual eyes.
Tess: Not everyone is a fucker like you Torah.
Me: .........
Kelly: That escalated pretty fast.
Torah: you're right.
Tess: Torah i'm sorry I didn't mean it like that.
Kelly: but it's the truth.
Torah left the chat
Me: Not now, shitface.
Kelly: Eh, How rude.
Tess: Sorry for disturbing you guys.
Tess left the chat Kelly left the chat
And I'm left alone to wander in the group that now only has one member, which is me. I think of calling Torah to find out if she's good but I refrain from doing so. it's a misunderstanding between two siblings, they'll figure it out in no time, they always do.
Tess picked an awkward time to text us. Right now im sleep deprived and I have a flight to catch in 6 hours. I'm not complaining about her texting us because we're always there for each other it's just that she picked the wrong time and now I can't even go back to sleep because I have a lot on my mind.
I miss the younger me. Younger me would have to find something magical to sleep on. It was really easy to go to sleep. But now, I don't even want to think because it's hard for me to sleep if I do.
I remember how I used to want to grow up so fast in elementary, but growth comes with a lot of responsibilities and stress. If I knew what I know now. I'd stop myself from growing and never want to mature but that's just part of learning and growth.
My journey from here to Bradston is 251 hours on foot, which I can never do because it is the same as fasting for forty nights and forty days. And It is 27 hours by bus, 64 hours cycling, 10 hours 38 minutes on a personal car, and 4hrs 59 minutes on a flight which I'm taking because my impatient ass cannot stay still for long hours.
Dad booked my economic ticket flight two days earlier. My flight takes off at 07AM, im very enthusiastic to try out this new experience but at the same time it's startling.
*** I got to The University of Zambia and I was trying to settle into the environment, the first place I went to was the registrar's office for the first year check-in, then the school's check-in. I then went for the covid 19 testing.
I haven't been far from home without any of my parents before so this is a first-time experience.
I'm very eager to find out the outcome but i'm also nervous. Does that make sense? I think it does.
