Life is a big fat question. I mean, Are you really my friend? Should I do that? What would happen if I did this? Argh I wish questions were abolished.
"Would you like fries with that?"
"Oh im sorry pardon?"
"Would you like fries with that"
The lady at the cash register said. Rolling her eyes at my stupidity.
"Oh right, no thanks" I mumbled feeling my cheeks turn red.
"Okay so two ten packs of McBites, two ham and cheese toasted sandwitches and a small fanta" she said looking at my nana "nine dollars please".
Handing over a ten dollar note the lady handed me a dollar coin and the receipt.
"When your number comes up on the screen you can collect your food"
I turned away rolling my eyes, nuh duh. Walking over to my grandad I handed him the receipt and the change. "We are sixty six, kay" I said as I went to get a straw.
"Sixty Six!"
"Grandad that's us"
"No she said sixty, and we are sixty six"
"Sixty six?"
"Told ya" I said as I poked him and collected our food.
"Would you like fries with that?"
I heard the lady repeating the same question in her monotone voice. Is that all they know how to say, I think as I watch as the old lady she is serving asks her to repeat herself. HA, I thought. Serves you right. Thats for poor customer service, if someone doesnt say they want fries, THEY DONT WANT FRIES!
"Hurry up Elie" my nana said "we want to get to Sydney before ten o'clock"
"Right" I answered taking a sip of my fanta.
Half and hour later we were back in the car. The sun had just started to set and the sky was a beautiful wash of Orange and pink. It never occured to me that those two colours would match together so well. I used to think mixing them together would look like vomit, but the sky was amazing. Squinting my eyes I could just make out the faint moon. Every time I see the moon I wonder if my friends are looking at the moon like me. We might be in different places but we can still see the same moon.
The moon is like a feeling of togetherness for me. I dont know why, but when I watch it I feel loved. Call me weird, I know.
Slowly I pulled out my ear phones and turned on shuffle. While I was watching the moon get farther up in the sky, One Directions song, Best Song Ever, came on. Closing my eyes I got lost in the song.
" Maybe it's the way she walked (wow)
Straight into my heart and stole it
Through the doors and passed the guards (wow)
Just like she already owned it
I said, "can you give it back to me"
She said, "never in your wildest dreams"
And we danced all night to the best song ever
We knew every line
Now I can't remember
How it goes but I know
That I won't forget her
Cause we danced all night to the best song ever
I think it went oh, oh, oh
I think it went yeah, yeah, yeah
I think it goes...
Said her name was Georgia Rose (wow)
And her daddy was a dentist
Said I had a dirty mouth (I got a dirty mouth)
But she kissed me like she meant it
I said, "can I take you home with me"
She said."never in your wildest dreams""
I had my eyes closed and was visualizing senarios in my head. What would it be like to have a song written for you. Embarrassing? Awesome? Sweet?
When the song ended I felt sad. Its such a good song. I never used to like One Direction, but this song is amazing.
With my eyes still closed I leant my head against the window to rest.
Thud. Owww. Thud. Ouch.
Take my advice, dont lean your head on the car window if the road is bumpy.
When we finally got to my house I said hi to my mum and rushed into my bedroom. Looking around I saw my mum had got me some new beachy room decor. Oh and a gnome!!! Its so cute. I named him Will. Cause I can, dont judge.
Suddenly a really nice smell hit me. Mum got me a candle. A watermelon candle! Yummmm
It was all I could do to get into pajamas before I flopped into bed. Thinking.
Stupid Questions.
