'Um...hey dad'
'Emily. How are you finding it - like the house?'
'Yeah, it's so spacious.' And empty
'Well I've come to talk to you about college'
'College?'
'Yes, although it is currently the holidays I have fixed a place for you in one of the best colleges around here'
'Thanks dad.' Dad was ever so academic always worried about grades and sttuff and even though I wasn't a slacker dad would always push me to work hard.
'There is just one problem.' Dad coughed
'It's co-ed'
Uh-oh. Not liking the sound of that at all. I've always been to a single sex school since I was 10, (I'm 17 now) and I wasn't looking forward to that. I guess this means I will have to dress up everyday. Not that I didn't like getting dressed up, I did but not every SINGLE day. I'd rather spend my mornings sleeping.
'Darling. You know I always wish the best for you.'
And I do try hard so I hope you understand blah blah....
'And I do try hard so I-- only joking.'
Dad's famous I-only-want-the-best-for-you-lecture always gets to me and yup I know it all off by heart now.
Dad chuckled,bent down and kissed me on my forehead and placed a prospectus on the desk and walked out, closing the door behind him.
I yawned, suddenly tired and looked at the clock; it was 6:22pm and still light outside.
I lay down on the bed - fully intending to have a short nap and closed my eyes.
