"Hey drew", I greet my aunt while i enter the room.
She looks up to me, her lips widen and curve creating a smile, she wants to know how was my day i think to myself .
"Soo", she pauses cinsidering whether to go on or not,"How was your day Jo?" , she asks.
"Umm",i hesitate not sure if i shoukd be honest or not.
"Well are you gonna tell me or not?"she asks again, but this time her hazel,wide eyes are fixed onto me, studying my face. I return her stare and we both stay like that for a while waiting for the first person to give in and i really hope she does first so i wont have to speak about my day. I know, we act like kids.
Unfortunately, I look away unintentionally and immediately regret it when she speaks."Aha! I knew i won't lose this time.",she says enthusiastically.
"Fine,fine.", I start," Drew,Today was so bad that i can't find the correct word to describe it. I really wish i can do home schooling like I always did, I don't get mum and dad's point of torturing me like this."
"Why,what happened she?", she inquires and i go on. "Well to begin with I got on the wrong bus today." I can tell she will start to laugh so i interrupt her "Don't dare to laugh,Drew. I'm new here and i know nothing about this place. Anyway, I was late, was sent to the principal's office , then i got into a fight with a girl because she bumped into and wouldn't apologise and even worse, i felt like a total outcast,like an intruder, like i didn't belong there and i couldn't stand everyone's stares!" I can't handle the pain and start crying.
Drew approaches me with wide arms to hug me, she whispers "hushh", trying to comfort me and I feel slightly better.
Maybe I totally misunderstood Drew, maybe there is more of her than the crazy teenager who never grew up that I don't know. I close my eyes trying to shut my mind this time and allow Drew stroke my back, calming me down.
