Mr Popular and me

My new home

"Elena!" called my mum. "Mum give me a moment I'll be downstairs." I responded. Since the death of my father, everything changed. My uncles and aunts turned against us and they accused my mum of being the reason behind my father's death. I did not understand this because my dad and my mum never had a serious misunderstanding. They were always happy. My relatives stopped supporting us financially and they turned our neighbours against us. My mum decided that we move to Florida to start a new life. I had put on my ash crop top and denim shorts when I heard my mum yell"Elena, get down else we'll be late for the bus." I quickly applied some lip gloss on my lips and admired the dimples I had on my cheeks in the mirror. I tied my long wavy blonde hair into a neat bun, wore a simple sandals and jogged down the staircase. "I'm ready,mum" I said. She kissed my forehead and assured me that everything was going to be alright. We took a last look of our house and walked out of the door. This is it . I was ready to start a new life. I was going to try very hard to overcome the past and move on even though I knew it wouldn't be easy. I loved my dad so much and I wouldn't be able to see him again. I had to face reality and move on.

We walked to the bus station which was three blocks away from our house. When we got there, the bus was ready to set off. We entered the bus and occupied the seats at the back. I did not bid my friends good bye which made me sad.
  As the bus moved past various houses, I looked at the houses of my friends and recalled the times we had together. I felt a single drop of tear fall on my right cheek. I wiped it away. Elena get yourself together. I chanted inside of me.
My birthplace, it was so hard watching the bus move out of Texas. I closed my eyes wanting to shut out the pain. I don't know for how long I was like that.

After about 18 hours, the bus finally stopped. My mum and I got down and took a cab to our new apartment which took an hour.
I was so exhausted. When we got to the door of our new apartment, my mum took out the keys and opened it. A few months ago, my mum bought this apartment on the internet. It was sold at an affordable price. The key was brought to her about a month ago. That's why my mum decided that we move there.
The apartment was neither big nor small but it looked comfortable. The bedrooms were three and it had two washrooms and a kitchen. It also had a small hall.

Since we were exhausted from the ride, we went to our rooms to take a nap. When I got to my room, I laid on the bed and spread my arms wide admiring its soft quality. Soon, sleep took over me.

  

The next day, I woke up by the sound of my alarm. I went to the bathroom to take my bath. After about thirty minutes, I came out of the bathroom. After creaming, I wore a short blue top with a high waist skirt. I wore my slippers and jogged down the stairs. Saturdays were busy days. I went to the kitchen and spotted my mum near the the gas cooker cooking bacons, eggs and toasted bread with hot tea. I greeted her and sat at the kitchen table. She gave me a peck on the cheek a responded to my greeting." We will be going to the grocery shop to go and buy some things." my mum said. "Yeah, sure mum." I replied not in the mood to talk. My mum placed a plate of bacon and eggs with toasted bre

ad and a cup of tea in front of me.

"Thanks mum." I said . I moaned at the taste of the the bacons and eggs. "Finish soon so that we can go." my mum said
This day was definitely going to be a long busy day.
