Merlin Blasser is not your typical teenage girl. She's so uninterested in boys or anything related to love, this may have something to do with her upbringing. Her ideologies starts changing when she is pushed to live as a normal teenager by those s...
"Brrrring" sounded my alarm clock. It's 9am already, I have no choice but to get out of bed as I have a lot to do today. Marco said he'd visit before college reopens but it's already Saturday and we go back to college on Monday. Maybe I should phone him ??, no I shouldn't. He must be busy with something more important. First he doesn't inform me about his arrival and now he's blowing me off, I guess I'm not as important to him as I thought I was. Why should I care ?? It's not like I'm his girlfriend or anything; we're just close friends. Besides, he's handsome, hot and very popular among the ladies; not like he'd want me as his girlfriend. "Okay come on Merl what's all this about Marco, it's not like I'm into him" I murmured under my breath as I headed towards the bathroom. Or maybe I am ?. No !! No !! I'm not; "I know better than to fall for such a playboy like Marco" I said to myself. The arguments and debates that go on in my head are so stressful. I should just shower already and head down for breakfast.

"This will do" I said staring at myself in the mirror. "Merlin !! Get down quickly breakfast is ready" shouted Ms. Hannah. I should stop admiring my outfit and head down. "Mmmmm! Ms. Hannah these pancakes are delicious" I said. "You should try the scorched eggs they are so yummy" said Luke. "Awww you children flatter me so much, okay enough of the talking and go back to munching" replied Ms. Hannah.

College reopens on Monday, I have to get a few items to make sure I'm ready. I wonder if Jessica would accompany me to get some stuff. "Hey Jesse" I said over the phone. "Hey Merl what's up ?? Missing me already ??" she replied jokingly. "Yeah I sort of am, I'm going shopping would you like to come ??" I asked. "Sorry baby girl I'm kinda busy right now but we should totally hang out later, my house at 6pm" she replied. "Okay, ttyl lub you" I said disconnecting the call. Guess who's going shopping alone ?? Me ! your girl. "Hhhh" I sighed sounding a little bit disappointed.
Mom and Dad deposited some money in my checking account so now I can use my debit card for shopping. At least I don't need to stress about cash. "Vvmm!" Why is the car making that sound, it's supposed to be vrooming. Oh no !! something's wrong with the engine, I'll phone the mechanic. "Mr. Anderson there's something wrong with my car, it isn't starting, the engine must be bursted, can you please come over and sort it out" I said worriedly. "Sure Merlin I'll be there in an hour" he replied. I ended the call feeling distressed.
It's already 12pm and Mr. Anderson is still not here. I'm tired of waiting I'll phone him again. Oh no need here he comes. "So sorry Merlin, I was waiting for a cab, it's so hard to find a cab these days and not to talk of the traffic" Mr. Anderson said. "It's fine, please find a way to fix the car, I have to head out". Seventy-five minutes later and he's still fixing the car, "uhm excuse me but how long is this gonna take ??" I asked. "It's gonna take a while you have to be patient" Mr. Anderson said. "I'll leave you and Ms. Hannah to it then, I'll just take a cab" I replied. I can't wait anymore, it's 1:30pm already and I to have run my errands quickly. I walked down the street and stood at the edge waiting for a cab. Mr. Anderson wasn't lying when he said cabs are hard to find these days; I mean I've been waiting for almost an hour now. This is a clear example of what we call TOUGH LUCK.
