Sealed with a Kiss

Chapter 2

Sabrina Anh

After finding my dad, we went home. I took another shower and started to think about the guy at the store. He didn't seem to like talking to the other guy. Dae seem to be more extrovert then him Oh sh*t, I didn't get his name, omg. It doesn't matter; I won't see them anytime soon. A knock on the door takes me out of my thoughts. "Coming," "hey sweetie," "oh, hey nanny, what's up?" "I just thought of bringing you a midnight snack, but I know you're staying up to say goodbye to your parents.'' She knows me so well. I do this since I could remember to say bye to my parents. "Thank you, Nanny. You can go to bed. "I'll wash this once I go to bed." "Alright, my love, good night." "I love you." "I love you too." After that, she leaves, and I'm just sitting on my bed eating some dumplings, which my nanny knows how to make the best ones ever.

It's 3 a.m., the time when my mom and dad are going to leave. So I get up and make my way downstairs to say goodbye for five months. I saw my dad; he looked up and smiled at me and came and gave me a hug. "I love you, Bo Bo." "Be safe, and text me or call me if you need anything, and I'll fly down

here for you, I promise you.'' I smiled ready to cry for those words because I knew he would if I asked him he would give up his job but I know how much he loves being with mom I would never take that away from him not even in a billion years. "Don't worry, Daddy, I'll be good." "Nanny is with me, but I promise if it gets to that point, I will call you straight away." Then I heard my mom come and hug us both. "my baby sabby I love you sweetie be safe and take care but honey we have to leave we don't want to miss the flight." My smile dropped. I'll really miss my dad. "Alright, take care, please, and don't forget about my pictures and letters, dad." "I love you all." With that, they get into the car and are off to South Africa.

They of course left me a car, for which I am thankful because taking a bus in a town I don't know will be hell. I go back inside, but before that, I see someone running on the sidewalk, so I turn around and look at him. It's the guy from the store; he lives close. He sensed someone looking at him, and we made eye contact. I got nervous and ran back inside, ran to my room, and fell asleep, hoping he would forget about what just happened.

I heard my alarm go off and woke up. I went to the bathroom, did my skin routine, then took a shower. Today is the first day of school. Am I excited? No. Do you all care? Probably not. Anyways, I picked something simple: a white skirt with a baby blue top and a black cardigan. As for my hair, it's wavy, so I just clipped half up and the rest down and left some pieces of hair on the front. I have always loved my hair color because it's just so pretty, you know? I did a simple make-up with just some mascara, blush, highlighter, and lip oil. The Dior lip oil I got at the store yesterday is so good. After that, I grabbed my bag and my shoes and went downstairs to eat breakfast. I smell beets and begals on my way

downstairs. Let me tell you something: I adore bagels. I smiled and said, "Good morning, Nanny; breakfast smells amazing; thank you." She smiled and looked at me. "You're more than welcome, baby, and you look quite lovely today." I smiled at her compliment. She gave me my plate, and I started eating as soon as I got it. I checked my phone for the time, and it was time to leave. I got up and put my plate in the dishwasher. And I told Nanny I had to leave. "Bye, Nanny; I'll see you after school; I adore you." "I love you too, honey." Be safe."

I went outside, got in my car, and drove away to school. 15 minutes later, I arrive at school and park. As I stepped out of the car, I noticed a few people staring at me, but I ignored them, assuming they were probably not used to meeting new people, and continued walking. This school is so damn big that it should have signs telling where the office is. I decided to ask someone to show me where it was. I looked around and saw a pink-headed girl, and I touched her shoulder. "Hello, sorry for bothering you; I'm new here; mind showing me where the
