Ahh.... The end of the week.
Finally! A time for me, myself and I. It's about time for me to take a break after all the things that happened this week. I wonder what kind of relaxation will I do?
Hmm....
Maybe I'll go to the park, surf the internet all day long, go to the beach, help mom with chores and become responsible for awhile. Nah... Probably just sleep all day.
But who cares?!
I’m trotting down the hall way with a huge smile on my face while greeting everyone I pass by. I kept doing that while on my way to the exit. As I got out of the school, I inhaled and stretched.
*beep beep*
I was on my way to the bus like someone who doesn’t care about the world, when suddenly a guy with his motorbike was speeding up towards my right side. Luckily, I dodged the motorbike but then I fell down to the ground. The guy on the motorbike halted and went towards me. He took off his helmet and that’s when I noticed that he was the guy who bumped me last week. The moment I thought he was gonna help m e stand up, he yelled at me instead.
“Watch where you’re going, will yah?!” he glared at me.
How incredibly rude! I stood up.
“You were the one driving, right?” I said in a clam voice with matching smile on my face. But then I took a deep breath and glared at him
“Then YOU SHOULD watch where you’re going!” I exclaimed.
I left him while stomping my feet because of anger and went on to ride the bus. He, on the other hand, rode his motorbike without saying a word.
After the bus dropped me in front of the house, I noticed a paper taped on the door. It was a letter from mom and dad:
Dear Joanne,
We went to watch Michelle’s dance recital at school, so we’re going to be a little late. Don’t worry, Freddy would be home soon. In the mean time, Lock the front and back door and don’t let strangers come in. If there were robbers, smack them in the face.
Love Mom and Dad
P.S. There’s some macaroni and cheese on the table in case you get hungry.
I’m alone and this is my chance to relax to the fullest. I need to relax because by the time Freddy comes home, he’ll make me do a lot of chores. So I dropped my bag on the floor and went straight to the fridge to get some soda and chips. I went to the couch and get as comfy as possible and turned on the T.V.
I’m not usually fond of slacking off, but this is the only thing I thought to relax to the fullest. I was so comfortable on my spot that I can’t even answer the phone.
After three soda cans emptied and 150+ chips eaten, I heard a knock from the door. It’s probably Freddy. So I didn’t manage to comb my hair and change my clothes with holes and chips. But what a surprise that it wasn’t Freddy. It was the guy who offered me to be the band manager. I asked him to wait a bit so I can change my clothes. Then I let him in and lead him to the living room and we had a little talk.
I offered him to eat some macaroni and cheese but he refused. So I’m the only one eating. I gave him an orange juice instead.
“So… uh… Why’d you want to manage a band?” I asked as I gave him a glass of juice.
He took a sip and said, “ I want a band because I’m from the RI”
“What’s the RI?”
“Rock Institute” He smiled. “ I want to show them that I can make a band famous like my colleagues.”
“I want to prove them that I deserve to be a manager like them” he added.
“How?” I asked
“By joining the band to the biggest upcoming Battle of the Bands”
I also got my juice and took a bite of macaroni and cheese.
“But why me? I don’t have a band when you first talked to me”
He smiled at me and said, “You got potential” He putted the glass of juice on the coffee table. “I believe you can put together an awesome band”.
I was flattered.
“I must go now.” He said and stood up. “I just came here to say sorry.”
I was puzzled to what he said. “Sorry? For what?”
“For what my son did.” He replied.
“Your who?”
“My son… Who almost hit you… the one driving the motorbike… The one you shouted on”
“Oh…” I was speechless.
He chuckled and went to ride his black BMW and drove away. I locked the door and went back on slacking.
