Last days at waters

AT FIRST

Eleventh grade at waters high school is over and I can finally brag that am a senior."you should hurry up melody, your dad's waiting to pick your things up at the dorm" said Helena, who is my best friend. We grew  up at Texas together and I love her so much even thou she could be a bitch at times. "Thanks Helena I guess we have to get on the first bus if we want to get to the dorm on time". I shouted because she is far from where I am standing...I quickly kiss my pals goodbye and hug the guy have been totally crushing on since tenth grade but doesn't know it yet. He is a tall fine dark skinned guy who has eyes that no one could tell when he's asleep. I also can't forget that he's on the basketball team.
"Melody, you've wasted time...lets go already". Said Helena.Helena is concerned because we go home together since her house is just five buildings away.
We got to the dorm..we packed our luggage...on getting out I saw my dad and gave him a long hug that showed I missed him and he pecked me on the cheek. I and Helena entered the car and zoomed off
..... ..... .... ...... ....... .........
I walked through the door and I am so excited to see my mum. I gave her a long hug....I am surprised not to see David and Harmony home who strangely appear to be my brothers....David is eighteen, Harmony is twelve and am the sixteen year old girl stuck in their middle. Thinking they're not home, I went upstairs to see my room invaded with aliens in it..."haaa!!!!"..
I have to scream because I know they are doing it to get on my nerves.."surprise!!!!" They both shouted."whats so surprising you plonker"I yelled.....I am trying to surpress my anger , hugged them because three months without them wasn't easy at all...I flared up again shouting "Now you both can leave!!"
They left slamming the door hard which is more annoying but at least they left.I need to wash up from the long journey. Am looking at myself in the mirror and i see a low self esteemed girl who is pretty dark and of average height...I am carried away by my tired look and the black ring around my eyes.."shit! I have to go downstairs before dinner is over".I remembered.
... ....... ... ....... .... ........ ...
"I have a surprise for you guys" said dad as he stared at mum who gave him a wink..all waiting for the surprise...then he said "we are travelling to Atlanta Georgia together as a family since we might not have the opportunity to travel as a family again since David is going to college this year". I noticed the silence apart for Harmony who is already jumping for joy on his seat. "Dad can I ask a question ?",said David.."sure son"....dad replied.."dont you think this isn't the right time considering the fact that you just loosed your job"? David asked with this sad tone.I could feel the shock that fell on my dad but the only word that came out of my dad's mouth was "God has provided" as he held out the already bought ticket which made us laugh and really happy.My dad is this kind of man that no matter how tough things are for us, he still tries to make us happy."start packing babies,were leaving in three days.
I am excited but my mood changed as I remembered I have to choose between travelling out or staying for summer lessons considering the general certificate for school examination I will be writing in two months time..well ,I told my dad about it and he said "don't worry it's just a three weeks trip.you'll meet up girl".My dad isnt bothered because he knows am a straight A student but I know deep down that I need those lessons because they will be introducing a new curriculum but who cares...I can always read at Atlanta and catch up with the class.

........ ....... ......... ..........
Finally...am on my bed...thinking of what to do because I don't fall asleep easily. Ill just pick my diary from my bag and write a poem.its normally about my feelings and I have written over fifty hoping to publish it in the next life and that's if there is a next life because no one is supporting me on this.Helena thinks it's boring..Am almost in oblivion so I put my book aside and fall asleep.
...... ....... ......... ........

Am half awake, not because of the sun that lit up my face on bed or the sweet smell of bean cake but the call that came from Helena.."hello" I said surprised and am sure she could hear the tiredness in my voice.."Melody Wilson" she said and she teased me about always being lazy getting up from bed in the morning."shut up Helena, you know am a girl with lots of things to do and that reminds me..I need your help Helena on shopping for new clothes today, so do you think you might be of help".I asked .."yeah, sure" she replied..."see you by twelve noon then",I said hanging up the phone.
Dragging myself out of bed, I groaned because I am still feeling very tired but I know I have to fight it due to the very busy day am going to have today.I took a quick shower and put on something light because the weather is really hot. I hurried downstairs and shoved little bean cake in my mouth, taking a sip of cold milk as I kiss my mum bye and said "I'll be back by three".
I met Helena at the entrance and we zoomed off immediately in Helena's car since she has her driver's license with her.

...... ....... ....... ....... .......
I got home very late with my hand full of clothes. Me and Helena spent almost the whole day at the mall. I am tired and I just have to sleep now.

....... ........ ....... .......... ......
It is morning and as usual melody wilson is always tired to get up from bed but this time I have to wake myself up by slapping myself...dad was already shouting " you guys should start packing, I don't want any delay tomorrow" and then I know today is going to be devastating because I hate packing bags for trips.
