UNEDITED
Dear diary,
It's been a long time since I've last talked to you.Well,it was exam season so you know me , I've been hibernating in my room for quite some time.
So quick updates about what's been happening in my life lately:
-My brother ,Adam is back.
-I graduated from high school (I wore a lace white dress).
-I'm finally 18!!!!
-I got accepted into Adam's university.
-Now we are moving to the US hopefully.
Ooh and I forgot to mention that my brother FINALLY got his driving license! I've never been more excited!You know what that means to me right? I'm gonna have my own chauffeur and I don't even need to pay him!
I know now you're giving me the look;he enjoys driving okay so there's nothing wrong with making him do what he love ,right?
I'm not that evil,fine maybe just a little.
OH speaking of which, I need to tell you about the first week we went out with the car.
It was father's day and my parents were invited to this fancy dinner.So my brother and I decided to go have dinner at a nearby mall. It was the first time we go out with the car and the word excited was an understatement.I was super hyped! Ah the sense of freedom and independence!
I quickly got dressed and applied a tiny bit of makeup ,which by the way I don't wear normally,just because I suck at it!
I then quickly went and informed my parents that we're leaving.
Mom:Alexandra take care okay and make sure your brothers drives slowly!.....
Me: Mammy don't worry we will be fine!!
Gosh mothers tend to get overly worried sometimes!!It's not like we are going to war.The mall is literally 6 mins away, what could possibly happen!
Adam ,of course put on the radio and started listening to a rap song.You can call me old school ,but I just don't get where's the music when people talking more like shouting over a background beat. I thought about turning off the radio or changing the another channel.However the battle will be on and I'll probably loose.Ugh I should've thought about this, if he's driving that means he has all the power!
I took out my phone and decided to take a selfiee just to brag a bit on my snap chat story.Okay fine I'm lying;I didn't exactly take 'a selfiee' emm well it was more like a couple of hundred selfiees. See that's how it usually goes: *snap*...mehh ugly..*delete*
*snap*...eww nope *delete*
I keep on doing that ,until I get the perfect one!
As I was just about to take another picture,I felt a sudden force pushing me to the side.My brother and I both looked at each other at the same instant: although it lasted for a second but it felt like an eternity; his face was a combination of confusion and worry.
We parked at the nearest empty space we could find, and called the police.
I could see Adam's hand shaking. I tried to comfort him but I was so bad at it.
A few minutes later the black Range Rover that hit us slowly parked next to us .Then seconds later a few more black range rovers appeared.
'Wait what's going on?' I thought to myself.
Two men came out of the car and headed towards the car that hit us. They litarlly looked as if they just left the filming of 'men in black'. They talked to what appeared to be a woman inside the car.Her windows were almost opaque ,so it was impossible to see a thing!
Adam clenched his teeth a few times and got out of the car.The moment he left the car all the worry was swept away from his face and put on a cold poker face instead .Ahh that's a thing I always wanted to learn from him: how to conceal my emotions.People don't even need to ask what's wrong because my face says it all.
He headed towards the car and asked to what appeared to be 'is everyone alright?' Or it could've been 'how's you're appetite' since I'm the worst at lip reading.He gave a nod and one of the 'men in black' started talking to him.
I could see a hint of anger in his eyes as Adam walked towards our car.
Me: What's happening?
Adam:Well she's the mayor's daughter.
Me: But what does that have to do with anything ?!!It's her fault!
Adam: Snap out of it Alex !We arent in some kind of a hollywood movie.The law doesn't exactly apply to them!
He then gave me what looked like a forced smile and walked away to the cop that just arrived.
I could see a lot of hand movement from my brother apparently explaining what happened.After a while the cop handed my brother what appeared to be a ticket and then shook hands and each one left in a different direction.
He finally came and sat in the car as the women left with all of her entourage.
Adam:Yup "apparently" its my fault ,because her highness is never mistaken.
Me: why didn't you fight for your right?!
Adam: of course I tried! But again her dad's the mayor!
At this moment I had it ! I was frustrated angry and annoyed ! Why should we follow the rules when they themselves don't apply it!I felt like getting that women and sitting on her ( I'm not exactly what you call a skinny girl so she'll probably suffer really bad)But again I don't exactly want to spend my tween years in a jail scrubbing the floor.
The sun was now setting, and it was starting to become dark. I could spot my parents car headed in our direction.
My mom rushed out of the car and after a thorough inspection to make sure that we aren't even scratched she gave both of us a tight squeeze.
My dad gave me a quick hug and took my brother aside and talked to him, while I explained to my mom what happed.
I looked at the back of the car which was now looked like a squeezed Pepsi can.
Me: Hey mamy sorry for making you late for your dinner.
Mom: Nahh don't worry about it,we cancelled it .We would never leave you guys in a situation like that.
We left the car there, and went to a nearby restaurant.
Adam handed dad the ticket that was almost 300$ and that's excluding fixing the car which could cost up to 500$. My dad's glaze went missing in its own world of calculations.I tried to break the tension and said: Emm papy , Happy Father's day :)
He then gave me a weak smile which then turned into a full laughter.
Notes to myself:
-Never take your family for granted.
-Try not to get in an accident with the mayor's daughter.
-learn how to lip read.
