" Praise the heavens for his mercy he has shown towards us " My father also known as pastor brooks shouted using the microphone. Today is the first sunday of the week and i'm already exhausted.

The service ended at 12 sharp but we still needed to stay considering the fact we are the pastor families

" Mom can i go wait in the car i'm having a stomach ache "  I said

" Take the care and don't leave the car "  She said and i walked to the cobalt blue jeep, opening the door and sitting inside taking a magazine out to read

I sighed heavily, dropping the magazine down taking a glimpse of the enivronment. The bright sun shadowing everywhere, blue skies, the wind hmm this is why i love nature. I didn't know when i fell asleep in the car.

I heard the door clicking and my mom, dad, lil bro and my senior sis entered the car as my bro opened the door pushing me inside

" Hey - h- stop it " I said but was drowned in laughter as he tickled me

" Stay quiet!! " A deep voice which i recognised as my dad voice, he entered inside and started the engine driving in total silence till we reached home.

Our house was cream peachy colour with stairs, i entered inside to get away from my dad's eye it could kill.
I got to my room and locked the door releasing a puff pheww!! Finally some alone time

" Gemma open up it was my brother " He said knocking really loudly that upset dad, i groaned opening the door glaring at him

" What do you want and why can't you knock properly? " I said in low tone. He passed me a parcel" Its for you " He said before running off.

I looked at the parcel and the already gone boy before shaking my head and quietly closing my door before lying on my comfy bed

" I wonder whats in this parcel" I thought as i removed the seal before bringing out a white designed paper with some calligraphic computer writing"

From the greenhills academy high :

I screamed out of joy " Argh!!!!!!! Oh my word yes i made it " I said openig my door running down tbe stairs
" Mom dad people i made it into greenhills " I said throwing my hands in the air. My dad looked at me and i gave him the letter. The smile on his face showed he was impressed but it changed staring at me

" Next time try getting a scholarship from your intelligence not from sports" He said handing me the paper walking out ouch that hurts a bit he didn't even appreciate me. My mom pulled me into a bear hug

" Don't be bother about what your father said focus on your future you should be happy you got a scholarship " She said and her words calmed me down.  I went to my room couldn't stop thinking about my school.

I brought a nike sweaters and black jeans with sneakers in my family we wear normal clothes.

After everything i got tired and sleepy so i slept off.
