Day 12.1

So, the next day began really early for me because Mrs. Blackford called me at 7am. She told me to come back to the music school, because one of my student's mom wanted to talk to me. Well, it was not really nice to call me at 7am.
I quickly dressed up, brushed my teeth and picked a banana. So where are the car keys? Ugh, I spotted the window.. Floriean must've been gone already. At 7:30am? So, that means I have to take the bus... I hated to go by bus. I walked down the street and put my headphones in. I listened to some old songs my sisters and I wrote. It took me about 25 minutes to walk to the bus station and abut 20 minutes to wait for the city bus. And then the bus needed twice as long as it needs normally. I was so annoyed when I came to the music school. Mrs. Blackford already waited for me.

'Where have you been, Christina?!' she yelled.

'I couldn't take the car, so I had to take the bus... And my best friend lives at the edge of... Nowhere...' I answered silently.

'Well, that doesn't make it better, because Mrs. McDonagh already left, because of her job. She waited for about 20 minutes!' she replied. It let me feel bad to know that I already annoyed two people today and that one of them waited for me and I didn't come.

'I'm so sorry... I didn't want this to happen...really.' I answered.

'Okay, so she gave me her number. She wanted you to call her if you're here.'

'That's great. I'll call her right now.' I said. At least one thing I could fix today. Mrs. Blackford handed me a little note with the number on it and I went outside.

-call-

'Hello?' -Mrs. McDonagh

'Good morning Mrs. McDonagh. Christina Cimorelli here. I'm so sorry I couldn't make it this morning.'

'Good Morning Mrs. Cimorelli. So, the reason I wanted to talk to you is that my daughter had something like a fight with another child of the group. And I ask myself... why did you not see that? That's kind of Breach of the duty of supervision.' -Mrs. McDonaugh

'What?? I'm so sorry to hear that, but I've never seen your daughter fighting with someone... I have little siblings too and would never leave children in fight with someone.' I answered.

'But if you would never do that, I don't understand why my daughter came home with a bleeding leg. She cried and said a group member pulled her down the way.'

'I'm sorry. I really didn't know about that.'

'Well, if it is like that, I can't put my daughter under the eyes of an obviously blind woman. Goodbye.' she said and ended the call. Oh my god what did just happen??
I went inside and looked at the teacher schedule. Okay, the next lesson starts in about 3 hours. If I stay, they kids would be happy about it, right?
So, I picked my purse and went to the grocery store. I wanted to pick some Ice cream for them. A little surprise, because I haven't been there for a few days. I missed 2 piano lessons at my group and 1 at my co-group. Suddenly, I received a message. It was from Carla.

'Hey girl, where are you? Soph is leaving today. She wants to say goodbye. -Carla'

Oh no... I totally forgot... Soph is leaving. But I couldn't go back. So, I decided to call her. It rang once, it rang twice... And then it stopped. I was wondering and looked at my phone. Black screen. My phone just died.
'Damn!' I whispered to myself and put my phone away. Without thinking I went to the cash and paid the Ice cream and a water bottle.

Some tourists walked along the street. Looked like Japanese people. On the other side of the street, the side I was at, was a little girl on a bike. Her dad was with her. Oh, her dad showed her how to ride a bike. That was so cute.

'Stop Cassey, watch out!' I heard her dad yelling and I noticed that she couldn't stop the bike in front of me. She hit my legs before I even noticed it. She fell off her bike and I tried to take her arms.

'Owjjj not that fast little girl.' I said when I picked her arm, even if my jeans were ripped and my right knee bled a little bit. I kneeled next to her and looked up to her dad, who ran up to his daughter.

'Are you okay Cassey??' he asked and added 'Thank you, Miss. Are you okay too? I'm so sorry.'

'I'm okay, but the the main thing is that your daughter is okay.' I answered and looked at the little girl.

'Daddy, I almost did it!' she laughed. Luckily she laughed.

'Yes. But look that woman saved you. So, what do we say?' The man said.

'Thank youuuu.' Cassey told me. She was so cute. I looked up and was about to stand up. And so was Cassey's Dad. But first we looked at each other and he smiled at me. I just looked away, but he made me blush. And no I didn't fell in love with him. I was just not ready for that. Well, but he was really nice and looked really cute. He stood up and stretched his arm out. I took his hand and stood up. Cassey stood up too.

'So, I'm Michael Preston and this is my daughter Cassey. I'm sorry for your jeans, wanna go for a little coffee? Little apology for that.' he offered.

'Um, I'm nor sure. I have to be back at work in about 1 hour...'

'Daddy would be happy about that.' Cassey cut me off.

'Stop it Cassey. You've heard her.... I'm sorry.' He said and laughed.

'Oh it's okay hahaha. Okay, I still have one hour, so okay, I could really need a coffee. But first, I have to bring that stuff back to work. I just bought Ice cream. I don't want it too melt. Okay? Oh and I'm Christina. Christina Cimorelli.' I answered and wasn't sure about that decision, but it was just a coffee right?
So, Michael brought Cassey back into the house. Her grandma was there to take care of her. After that went back to the music school, so I brought the Ice cream in. Then we went to a little coffee shop.
It was pretty awkward for me, because I was still not over Nick and it felt wrong, but on the other side it felt pretty funny and nice. We left after about 30 minutes and he brought me back to the music school. When he left, I walked upstairs and opened one window. I sat up on the window sill and stretched my legs out.
Sunshine on my face.

End of Day 12.1!! Sorry Part 12.2 coming soon!! I know this is a pretty short chapter!
