Holidays (chapter 13)

The next day, when my little sister finally was 14, our parents gave her another present.

"We didn't want to tell you yesterday because we didn't know if it actually works like this but we decited to go on holiday tomorrow!!" Mom said.

"So I don't have to go to school in the last week? This is awesome thank you!" Cleo screamed.

"Wait hun the best thing is going to come now. We're going to Germany!"

"Wait. Whaaat??!!" Cleo was freaking out. I also did a little bit. First because I was going to go on holidays with my new family, which I loved more than anything and then because I felt a connection between me and Germany.

"Aahhh!!" Cloe screamed. Then she explained that. "I've never been to anywhere except the UK and I always loved Germany.

I found out that we were going to a town called Warnemünde, which is near the baltic sea. And that Toby was going to come with us.

"I'm so excited! I just can't hide it!" Cloe sang until it got annoying and Dad forbid it. Toby sat next to me and we talked the whole time. I got sick when we were on the ferry and it was embarrassing. Everyone said I'd be green in my face but I couldn't believe that. There was an old man with a long white beard, which made him look really wise. He loughed and added "Don't worry it's gonna be over when you're on land again." And it was like that. We arrived in Denmark and it smelled like fish.

That was what we ate for lunch. Fish. With chips and salad. It tasted soo good and I couldn't get enough of it. Toby gave me his chips as well. Maybe because I looked so hungry.

The rest of the journey went quite fast. I listened to music and slept. We arrived in Warnemünde late night. I went into the bedroom, which I shared with my little sister and fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.

I had a pain in my insides the next morning, I probably ate a bit too much fish the day before. So I decided to have a lazy day on the couch. Everyone else went to the beach. I opened the window and the wind blew in my hair. It was nippy but felt great. I closed my eyes and listened to the sound of the waves. Our hotel wasn't far away from the beach.

After that I went into the kitchen and made me a hot chocolate. I went back to the couch and was really enjoying the feeling. Then I had to close the window, since there were some annoying sea gulls outside, which cawed at each other like bitchy ladies on a day trip.

I decided to turn on the TV with the hope they'd have some english channels but they didn't of course. I understood bizarrely most of it anyways. Why were I able to speak german? Well not actually speak but the more I watched this the more words and phrases I could remember. It was strange. Maybe this was the solution to my problem. I was German. Maybe I couldn't remember anything because English wasn't my brain's actual language.

But I had to realise that thought was crap. I didn't remember much because of my destiny. It doesn't want me to.

Later I felt better. I was able to go out for dinner with my family. We went to a lovely little restaurant and ordered our food. Nothing special. I told them what I found out earlier. Mum said I'd maybe have german roots or something but Toby said I took German lessons in my old school. Maybe I went to a special language school. That could be a sign. We decided to google it when we were home again and we did so but we didn't find any German school near London.

"Look out you clumsy idiot!" Toby laughed as I splashed my glass of orange juice all over my shirt. "Ahh" I sighed. I was really clumsy. He smiled. "Come on we can manage that." He said and pulled me to the bathrooms. I didn't know what was going on, when he took his jumper off and gave it to me. Then he pushed me into the women's toilet and I got changed. His jumper smelt so much like him - what a surprise. But it smelt good. A little bit like pizza and red bull and salty air, I liked that. I wondered what he was going to wear but when I went out of the toilet, he stood there in another jumper and grinned.
