Aurelia's diary: Between Chicago skies

2. An Interrupted Routine

A little later:

I just finished my English class with Ms. Miller. You know, If I had to choose only one lesson to learn for 24h, I would 100% choose English. Ha ha.

Guys! I just got the news that our history teacher Mr. Carter is sick and that he won't be attending school today and probably will stay at home all week. I'm so sad, because the work what we usually do in class now for the whole week we will need to do at home.

UGHH!

I hate to do class work at home especially, if we already have homework that needs to be done till tomorrow. But I should do what I have to, I can't change anything and that's half my life. 

It's not that bad, really. Now I need to go to a bus station. Usually my mom, my dad or my older sister picks me up from school, but today everyone was busy with their work, so I had to get home by myself. I kind of enjoy getting home by myself, but sometimes I'm a little tired from school, and I just want to get in the car and get home. Why school tires me so much? This is the thing I don't quite understand and maybe never will.

OKAY, no more overthinking, let's go to the bus station. I spend about 15 min to get there. YESSS! I was perfectly there when the bus arrived. This is a rare timing, because I miss my bus almost every day when I need to get home by myself. 

Ups, what can I say.

After 20 min, I'm FINALLY home. Now I need to make something to eat. It's been quite some time when I ate lunch. For dinner I'm going to make spaghetti with chicken, green salads and for drink I'm going to go with just a regular white coffee. When I finished my lunch, I went to my room to do homework, I was pretty surprised that I finished a lot quicker than I was planning to. Homework just took 30 min of my time. Now I have some time before going to sleep, so I'm going to watch something. Early good night!

9:00 AM

I'm sleeping peacefully until my little sister Sara runs into my room.

Me: "Get out! Let me sleep just for one day!''

Sara: ''Someone is coming for dinner today!!''

Me: ''What? Who?''

Sara: ''I don't know, ask mommy.''

Then she ran out of my room. I was a bit confused, but I had to know who is coming today. I got up, showered, did my skincare, changed clothes, brushed my hair and went downstairs to ask what is going on.

Me: ''Good morning mom!''

Mom: ''Good morning sweetie!''

Me: ''Sara told me that someone is coming for dinner today, but who?''

Mom: ''Oh, that's a secret, sorry.

Me: ''Okay, that's alright! Thanks for answering anyway!''

This afternoon went pretty fast. I was at Zara. I had to get new jeans and a top. When I got home, I saw my family making lunch and preparing table for the guests.

Me: ''Do you guys need any help?''

I say stepping into the kitchen with a shopping bag from Zara.

Dad: ''Not right now, but thanks for asking''

Me: ''Okay, anytime!''

Then I went upstairs to my room, I was a bit, because I haven't seen my mom's best friend like ever. I'm siting peacefully on my chair and reading a book when I hear my sister.

Little sister: ''Aurelia!''

Me: ''Yes?''

Little sister: ''Mom asked if you could go to the supermarket and get some eggs. We don't have any.''

Me: ''Okay, going right now!''

Little sister: ''Thanks from mom!''

Me: ''You're welcome!''

Then I put my book down, went downstairs to get my shoes and my coat, and then left to the closest shop.

When I entered the shop, I went to the egg section, but then...

Me: ''Ouch!''

I bumped into someone, I'm so embarrassed right now.

Him: ''Oh, I'm so sorry. Are you alright?''

Me: ''Yes, I'm alright, I should apologize too, I didn't watch where I was going.'' I said while standing up.

But then when I looked at him, I was too shocked to see similar face standing in front of me.

Me: ''NO WAY! Ethan? What are you doing here?''

*Ethan Caldwell is my mom's best friend's son. We used to see each other in every summer until 2020. Right now, I'm not talking or contacting with him, because we literary hate each other (there are a lot of reasons why), we are like enemies. (I'm not joking) And I hope this won't change for now.

Ethan: ''Oh well, well, well, who we have here? Isn't it the red head girl?''

Me: ''Shut up!''

Ethan: ''Anyway, what are you doing here?''

Me: ''I asked you first, so give me the answer"

Ethan: ''Ugh, whatever. Your mom Eliza invited my family to come over for dinner today.''

I was too stunned to say something back. How I was so stupid? This whole day I was wondering who could be the mysterious guest and now I don't want to join my family and his for dinner anymore.

Me: ''No, you are NOT joining my family for dinner today!''

Ethan: ''You can't just prohibit me from that, you know that, right?''

Me: ''Then I will be the one who won't attend family dinner this evening.''

Ethan: ''Okay, I don't mind that, but your family will be so disappointed in you, Aurelia''

Me: ''Ugh! You know what? I DON'T care!'''

Ethan: ''Okay, Miss drama Queen, ha-ha you look so dumb when you are angry''

Me: ''Mind your own business somewhere else, Ethan!''

Ethan: ''As you say''

Me: ''Great''

And then I finally went to eggs section. I grabbed eggs and went to pay. After paying for the eggs, I made my way to the exit, but then he showed up again.

Ethan: ''I was wondering if we both are going to the same direction, maybe we could walk together?''

Me: ''What? No, no and lastly no, but thanks for asking anyway''

I said with a grin on my face.

Ethan: ''You really though that I would want to walk with you?''

And then Ethan burst out laughing.

Me: ''No, I was just playing along, and now excuse me, I'm going home. It was so nice to meet you.''

Ethan: ''Really?''

Me: ''No''

Ethan: ''Where did you got that attitude, huh? It's something new from you. But I kind a like it.''

Me: ''Why you care?! I got it from my dad, all clear?''

Ethan: ''Yeah, yeah''

Me: ''Good, now bye, bye''

And then I left. (With eggs of course)
