Perri and I- The sequel to romantic 'Perri and me' about Perri Kiely

Chapter 1 Part 7

There's a slience...

Did I really just fire my own mother?

"What?..." Mum exclaims.

"That's right..." I say. "You're fired. You're not my manager anymore, and you can't boss me around!"

I slam the door in her face. That felt good...

No, it didn't! What did I just do? How am I going to get another manager? Surely...I can manage myself...but I don't even know what I'm doing half of the time. I'll need to get myself sorted tomorrow...and fast.

It's almost midnight now and I'm really tired. Its like...Perri wasn't even here. I wonder how long we can pull these 'midnight visits' off. The last thing I want to do it get into trouble, but if it means more time with Perri then I guess I'll have to take a risk. I mean...its not every boyfriend that climbs through their girlfriend's window at past ten at night...

The next morning, I'm extremely tired, but I get up early anyway. If I'm going to manage myself, I need to sort out my planner, and make sure that I'm on time for everything.

Still in my pyjamas, I go on my computer and check my email. Wow...I have a lot of them. Most of them are of people telling me about new meetings I have to attend and places I have to go. I get a new planner of my shelf. I'm going to have to start afresh. I write down all the places I need to be, and at what time. I also need to pick my outfits and just make sure there are no clashes. See...I can totally pull this off...

Today is a particularly busy one, but I'm ready for anything. That means-

9:00- Breakfast (added that one in myself)

10:30-Meet and greet at CIDA (Children's International Dance Academy)

12:00-Lunch with Fel and Kate (I need some time with my friends)

2:00-Optician appointment.

6:00-Dinner

I pick out my outfits for today. It helps now that I don't have to wear everything Mum buys for me. All the things that I'll need on set will probably be there...

After I'm done, I get showered and changed. I hear some noise outside...probably Gina getting ready for school. I'm scared to step outside my room incase I run into Mum. After I think they leave, I go to the kitchen to have breakfast myself. I switch on the TV and make some cereal. While I'm eating, I get a call. Mitch? At this time?

"Hi..." He says. "What's up?"

I sigh. Mitch is just type of person that is never sober. Didn't I say I wouldn't talk to him? Well...I can't ignore him forever.

"What do you mean, hi?" I say. "Have you got back with Kim?"

"Forget about Kim..." He says.

"What do you want?" I say, annoyed.

"Nothing...just thought I'd check on you."

Okay, he's officially confused.

"Mitch, I don't need your help, I'm busy today." I say.

"But...I'm already here..." He says.

"What do you mean?" I say, stopping to sip my orange juice.

"I mean..." He says. "That I'm outside your door, right now."

Are you kidding me?

"What?" I say. "I'll...call you back..."

I keep on sipping my orange juice as I go over to answer the door. When I do...Mitch is standing there.
