The Note

Lasagna for Dinner

Chapter 4:

I heard my mom call me downstairs for dinner.

We were having lasagna.

My mom makes the best lasagna you have ever had.

I don't know how she does it or what she puts in it to make it so delicious.

"So how are you doing sweetie?" Mom asked me.

"Fine I'm just still a little bit upset about James having to move to Florida tomorrow, but I know now that things will be ok. I can still call him and text him and visit him and all that stuff." I said

"That's true Angelica. I like how you are accepting this situation and taking it the right way." she responded

"Thanks mom." I said and I smiled back at her feeling very positive.

"Is he moving to Florida for good?" My little sister Mackenzie asked rudely.

"I don't know I responded." feeling very hesitant.

I didn't want to yell at her even though that was kind of rude to ask that because anytime anyone yells at her she cry's for like literally an hour and runs outside to go hide in her tree house. Then when she comes back which is like 6 hours later she doesn't even want anyone to look at her or talk to her.

Yah, she definitely has a big temper problem. We never really found out what was wrong with her, she was just born with it. No doctor could diagnose her because whatever she has is probably extremely rare and uncommon.

Mackenzie is only 7 too, so it's kinda sad.

Then I have a younger brother who's name is Sam. He is only 4 and he is normal other than the fact that he likes to scream in people's ears when someone doesn't agree with him or says no to him.

For example, when he asked he one time If I had seen his toy car and I said that i haven't he screamed in my ear cause he thought that I wasn't telling the truth.

"Angelica do you want any more to eat you barely even touched your food?" mom asked.

"Oh sorry mom I guess I was just daydreaming or something."

"It's ok." Mom said

"She's daydreaming about her, and James getting married and running away to live in the Bahamas." Mackenzie blurted out.

I didn't say anything, because I didn't want to make her cry so I just kept my mouth shut.

"Mind you own beeswax, Mackenzie" Mom said to her

Anytime mom tried to say something to her she never cried because for some reason she knew somehow that mom was only trying to teach her between right and wrong. I was surprised that she even knew that, that's what moms' goal was, but that's what makes her unique.

"Ok mommy." she replied back.

I finished eating my lasagna and I walked over inti the kitchen to put my dishes in the sink.

I then went into my room to do my homework.

I usually did my homework before dinner but I only had social studies and I had to call James, so tonight I decided to put it off till after dinner.

For social studies we had to do this essay which I'm almost done with because I worked on it in study hall today. It has to be 4 paragraphs; a introduction, two body paragraphs and a conclusion, and it has to be about how the 1900s are different are different from today.

About 20 minutes later I finally finished it.

Next thing I knew it was already 8:50

It was almost my bedtime which is 9:00 so I brushed my teeth, and got into bed.

I laid there thinking about all the good memories that me and James would make once we started visiting each other and face timing after he moved to Florida.

The I closed my eyes and I slowing drifted off to sleep.
