Hard To Believe

Chapter 3- Life goes on and so did mom.

Later on that day, Xavier and I hung out for a bit at lunch time. Everything was going fine until this pretty girl appeared out of nowhere. "You must be new here, my name's Jane what yours?" She was pretty and all but she had this irritating tone of voice."Kia," I answered with just that. I didn't want to say more. Halfway through lunch time Jane's still here, she decided to stay with us. Maybe it's just me or Jane is really into Xavier or Xavier likes Jane...oh well. RIIINGGG! Well it's time to go to class. Xavier had to go to a different class. I rushed to math class, my only favorite course. "Have a seat anywhere you want children," Mrs.Sally said as soon as everyone came in. Again since I knew no one, I chose a random spot. We were sitting in pairs. I sat next to a guy named Aden. It was the one I bumped into earlier, and also the one that made me dropped my lunch, but I dropped the grudge. Now that I'm seeing him, he's pretty attractive, but like I honestly shouldn't care, clearly he has a girlfriend and is currently eating off her face as I'm talking, like "Excuse. I'm right here. Manners" but I'm obviously not going to say that.. Duh.

The last two periods finished really fast, mainly because i was minding my own business and the only person I had a conversation was with a Aden...*squeals' loudly*... 'ahem' no need to get all worked up Kia, all we did was introduce ourselves, and accept his apology from the incident this morning. Currently, I'm waiting for the bus that's taking excruciatingly long, as I turn back I see Xavier coming towards me parting with his huge group of friends and after waving off all the girls. We talked a bit about how our days went and luckily the bus came and I quickly hurried off one stop before Xavier told me he was going to get off at. My dad was already waiting for me to ask all about today's occurrences. I told him about my potential friends and the teachers. I decided to keep out the part where I dropped my lunch and talked to Aden, because he honestly wasn't that much of a topic to discuss on. I don't even know why I'm making him such a big deal... jheez get out of my head already, even though he actually talked to me in Math, he still seemed a little arrogant. After eating dinner I went to sleep praying that the next school day would be just fine.

A couple of days passed by and everything seemed fine. Tomorrow was officially my one week survival anniversary...aka Saturday. Anna turned out to be really nice and I finally stopped blocking her out, I'm really starting to trust her now. Xavier has been really nice to me, he even compliments on my sweatpants and messy bun. Every time I need something he would always be there. Both him and Anna are like my best friends in the school. Then there's Jane, honestly by the looks that she would shoot at me when I talk to Xavier or would like playfully hug him are very hateful. She really doesn't seem to like me but it really doesn't matter to me. How can I forget about Aden, he has talked to me once or twice but only to get the answer to problem and another for me to stop chewing so loudly while I was munching on my chip's. At the moment all I wanted to do was gauge his eyes out and punch the chips down his throat but then... no if his eyes are out, how is he gonna look at me? WOAH, BACK UP THE TRUCK what did I just say. I'm disappointed by myself for saying something like this, I should be not caring about him, so let's just continue on as if I didn't say that.

Even if it was a Saturday, I felt so tired. Before getting home I took a pit stop to a coffee shop to get my dad his favourite donut. He loves the simple honey favoured one. When I got home he wasn't there in the doorway to greet me. It was quite unusual. I called for him but got no answer. Great dad, starting my weekend with a heart ache. I quickly threw my bag and coat on the floor and ran to his room. He was there acting like a zombie. He was half asleep but he seemed out of line. I told him to go to the doctor but he wasn't listening to me. I made him stay in bed and got some medicine for him. Then I made some chicken soup.

I stayed up all night making sure he was okay. So now it's Saturday, I was supposed to go to the mall to meet Anna and Xavier but my dad's health comes first. After telling those two why I can't make it. In about an hour they appeared with some "get well soon," cards and chocolate. I introduced them to my dad. I could already feel my dad feeling better. They left at about noon. My dad really liked Anna and Xavier he said that they are good kids.

The following day, Sunday my dad was really cheerful." Let's go to the park," my dad said. I was really surprised. Usually we wouldn't talk about the park because it's not just a park, there was a specific place with a bench and a big tree over it with such a nice view. We always used to come here well... when mom was here. After eating breakfast we headed there, to that spot. Slowly all the memories started replaying. I tried so hard to not cry but that didn't help. I remember my mom and dad playing tag with me around the tree. My mom with her long chestnut coloured hair in her favourite yellow polka dot dress smiling, the biggest and most beautiful smile. Dad was always happy. It was such a perfect family. But life goes on and so did mom.

Yes..yes, I know, its another short chapter and you already know what I'm going to say, that the other chapters  are longer and better, and to just bear with me, and to be honest, that's exactly what I was going to say! Usually I thought that I would upload a chapter a day, since there are only 13 or 14 chapters to this book, but recently, I've been really caught up with tests, family parties, my EQAO which I badly messed up on and much more! So that's why, just to make it up to those 5 people that are actually reading my book, I'll update another part today! So thank you for staying with us, and we hope you stay till the end and enjoy the book! -   Komal & Bukhtavar
