My Internetainer

MsMclaughlin's sons

I feel sunshines hit my face waking me up and blinding me as I open my eyes, I smile at the day  after a long time. I stand up and run to the kitchen. My parents are up already eating breakfast, I join them. I grab a mug of coffee and sit next to my mother.

-Good morning beauty, what is that big smile for?

-Just excited went for a walk yesterday and I had a good time. I didn't really talk to anybody but it was nice introducing me to Buies Creek.

-I was sure you would like it at the end darling.

My father locks eyes with her. I know that look, they want to tell me something and they know I'm going to be pissed off.

-Don't give me that look, we have something to tell you, yes something bad. Also something good.

-Your uncle can't keep our motorbike in his garage anymore so he is shipping it here, I know I was against driving a motorcycle as your first vehicle, but in Buies Creek is almost no traffic and drivers seem far more careful. Moreover you are allowed to drive in North Carolina from your 16 and since you always loved that thing.....you can have it. But you will drive your way to school and everything else for now on.

I couldn't think of anything better happening to me. I was always in love with my dad's big motorbike. It was black; it was loud enough, fast and perfect. I remember going on small rides with my dad on it and I loved it, it had always wanted it but the answer was strict no, until I was 25.

-Oh dad that's perfect! This is so awesome, you are the best.

I step on his feet to kiss him on the cheek and hug him tight. As I was going to hug my mother too she stopped me.

-Maritina, we went to your Highschool and we have to tell you something.

I start biting my lip as I always do when I feel anxious, if she stopped before i was too excited the bad news must be very bad, what the heck happened?

I lock eyes with my dad expecting him to tell me the bad news as he did with the good ones.

-Well here in America the education is very different....and to cut a long story short, most of your classes will be the same as in Middle school back in Greece.

-Are you telling me that for 3 more years I will learn nothing new and I will just revise Middle school? Come on Dad, you know that I adore algebra, how am I supposed to keep up with it?

-I can help you, but you have to do extra work at home. Although you mom had an awesome idea. What if you talk to the career advisor of Highschool and came up with what do you want to do for living, you may be able to enter a university?

-How many days have you been aware of that?

-Three-two weeks.

-And you have been waiting to tell me now?! You know that it gets a lot of thinking to decide your future right? Also did you think about not be that willing to talk about my life with a stranger? How am I supposed to express my dreams to a stranger just like that?

-Baby just relax we will help you on that

-NO! Just left me alone, I have to think what I will do with that fucking situation.

I run into my bedroom closing the door behind me. What were they thinking? Letting me decide what I will do in just a few months because the lame system is so stupid that in Highschool here is on the same level with Middle school back in Greece? I know I like math but I haven't thought anything else about my future job or education. I feel my blood boil and my hands shaking with anger. I need fresh air.

I put my trainers and athletic blue shorts along with a black t-shirt. The shorts are exposing my legs and the t-shirt is a bit tight but I can't come up with a more comfortable look right now, so I will just avoid town and head towards the woods or the river. There can't be that crowded. By the time I hear the door closing I'm already downstairs ready to go. While I was locking the door I feel eyes staring at me again with a familiar way. I freeze in my position to see if the feeling will go off. It doesn't. I turn around to see a boy across the road walking slowly. It's the tall guy from yesterday. When we make eye contact i can see recognition on his look, although he doesn't say anything neither smile, he just continues walking.

-Hey Maritina! Good Morning.

I recognize the voice, it has to be Ms McLaughlin. Yep that's her waving me from her doorstep.

-Come here for a little.

I go over there and realize the boy is following me. Is he one of her sons? A friend of theirs? I bite my lips hard and walk a bit faster.

-So let me introduce you two. Rhett that's our neighbor Maritina.

I can't help but smile at the pronunciation of my name think I will have to change it a bit.

He smiles kindly and handshakes with me. He has a beautiful smile.

-Maritina? I will never pronounce that right, will I?

-Well just don't keep your hopes up.

He laughs out loud.

-Rhett go and bring your brother here, I think he would like to meet her.

Rhett immediately responds to his mother wish and the brothers are down in no time.

His brother is tall too. He has the same sparkling eyes but he is face is more oval and cute.

I shake hands with him too. His lips apart in order to say something but Rhett interrupts him.

-So will you be in Harnett Centrall Highschool along with us?

-Yes, first year.

-Me too, Cole is on his last year there.

-Well I will be glad to be in the same school with you guys.

-Same here.

-I think I will go now need to take a walk. Bye Guys, bye Ms McLaughlin.

I leave their yard quiet happy. Just met two boys from my future school and it went well....I hope I didn't sound like an idiot. I'm a bit worried for my accent. As I am passing by their bedroom guess, I hear a few words and i can't help myself.

R: Did you see her man?

C: Of course I did, I'm not blind. I think we need a telescope and pray for her to be in the cheerleaders.

R: She is so hot, that face, those legs, the way she bit her lips, those b...

C: Keep down tiger the window is open. You will be a lucky bastard if you have her in you class. I would give my finger to be in the same classes with her.
