Today marks the last day of exams until next year. Three long, exhausting and draining semesters of shedding blood sweat and tears are over! (Well, not until next year January.)
"Finally!" I exclaimed, plopping myself unto the bed as soon as I got home. I buried my face into the pillow, screaming into it as a sign of excitement, "I'm FREE!! NO WORK FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR!" A wide grin appeared on my face, kicking my feet back and forth followed by a minute of silence.
It took a minute to scan the room to realise how long it's been since I've seen or talked to my parents and sister. Oh my God....
It's been so quiet since I left home to study abroad. I miss the taste of my mom's lasagna, and I miss my sister, Stephanie. While I'm here in a different country, she's staying with Uncle Milford, who is the Town's Major of Lazy Town, and she does NOT want to leave one bit. (So I've heard from Uncle Milford) And her smile, that cute smile. Always brought me joy when I needed it the most.
I decided to call my mom out of excitement, knowing I have a lot of free time to do whatever I want. I grabbed my phone and called her without a second passing by.
"Hello?"
- "Mom! Guess what?!"
"Hi hun, it's been a while since we've talked! But I can't talk right now, I have a business meeting in 10"
-"Oh alright... I just wanted to let you know that my exams are finished and i have about...10 weeks? Yeah! 10 weeks free!"
"That's amazing to hear. Your dad would also be happy, but we can't really do anything to celebrate..especially with work. We've been too caught up with meetins. But why dont you visit your sister?"
"Stephanie? Lazy Town?"
Before I even got to ask more questions, she hung up the phone and left me at suspense with silence.
"Alright! Let's go visit my sister." And without the skip of a beat, I began packing my bag to board the train hopefully before night falls.
I grabbed my luggage and backpack with all the necessities to keep myself occupied during my stay at Lazy Town.
Just before I left the dorm, I glanced at my watch and immediately cursed under my breath, "Shit, I'm late."I took one more scan around the room and left, locking the door behind me.
I arrived and borded the train station just in time as the conductor yelled, "Last calling!", ringing his golden bell back and forth. I placed everything where I could be able to reach and handed my ticket to the elderly ticket collector. His kind customer service comforted me and ensured a safe trip on my journey to see my sister.
"Where are you headed, young lady?"
I widened my eyes, surprised a conversation started.-" Oh, I'm on my way to Lazy Town to see my sister! It's a small town a little after West Coast, heard of it?"
"Heard of it?" The ticket collected chuckled, which brought me to a confused state, "Young lady, I live there, that small town you're talking about lives in my flesh and skin!"
He must really love Lazy Town.
"I'm glad you're going. You might even meet an old friend of mine, and believe me, you won't miss him with his all-in-blue superhero suit. " he snickered.
"Superhero suit?"
"Yes ma'me! he's the Town's superhero. He always saves those who are in trouble with his crystal. I'm not sure how he does it, but he does!"
Before I could ask another question about this superhero man, he went to collect the other passengers' tickets.
Superhero? He must be a little wack to think superheros with powers exist.
I chuckled at myself, knowing he's probably letting his imagination get the best of him.
It was already 12am, and I couldn't let the day pass tomorrow by sleeping. I placed my backpack next to me as a substitute for a pillow and rested my head listening to music on my headphones.
