Some Diary

Wednesday July 6, 2016 7:12 p.m.

It's Ramadan.

I don't celebrate it but apparently most public school kids do.

Since I'm in a public school, I was one of the lucky 40,000 kids staying home with your little brother.

So I woke up to my alarm (which I forgot to turn off the night before) and looked at my phone. I got a text earlier this morning from my godsister, Meera. She asked if we had camp that day. I said no and walked out of my room to do my business. I left to see if my parents are up and I find my mom is outside making sandwiches. I get one for breakfast and she explains that we'll be staying home. So I understood and they kissed me and my brother goodbye (when he finally woke up) and left. So my brother is outside watching TV and I'm inside on my phone. I got a reply saying that she was thinking of taking me and my brother to the beach with her daughter. I was excited to go because I barely see her so it was nice of her to think of us (which is ironic because she lives in the same area as us. Mt parents met them at my church). So I go to ask my parents. My mom says sure have fun like nothing but my dad is a little etchy about it. So it takes him a while to think about it and he decides to let us go.

So we go downstairs (after it took an hour to find my slippers) and met then by our steps Bella looked more adorable than ever (seeing the last time I saw them she was 3). Meera told us that she had no cash for the taxi so we walked to the bank. She apparently didn't like walking, proved with the amount of complaints, but accomplished it anyways. So she got some cash for a cab and it drove us down to Orchard beach (which is a bike ride away from my house so keep that in mind). So we set up and go in the water for a while (where i took a couple of snapchat pictures and my brother irrisponsibly got his phone wet hehe). Then we decided to take a lunch break.

So I'm peacefully enjoying the sandwich that my Dios sister made for me and my brother and my brother says "oh look". Now when my brother says that phrase, it means only one thing:

A friend from school.

And I'm in a two piece eating a sandwich buried in sand. Perfect. So I'm expecting to turn around to one of my girlfriends. This is when things hot even worse. Sure it's my friend. But....

His name is Leo.

I'm paranoid. Leo is this proactive needing, puberty facing, boy in my class who sounds like he was imported to America a month ago (he's been in my school since 2nd or 3rd grade and I'm in 8th now so). So no wonder it's awkward. He's there with his mom and sister and laying down their blanket and the mom turns and sees us and says "oh what a small world" and I'm still paranoid so I'm like "ehe. Yeahh". So they go to the water and my sis asks who he is and I explain and she doesn't go any further.

So I grab my phone and the first person I tell is Niia. I know it's not nice to gossip but it's Niia. She's bulletproof (Honestly she is a gossip girl but not a huge one). So I go to her text messages and see one text saying "I'M GOING TO THE BEACH". One. The reason for why it's in all caps is because in any situation, we will talk in all caps. I don't know why, but we do. Two. Niia has an irrational fear of beaches. Forgot why but she does (sharks or something). So when she told me this, I prayed for her. So I asked her to stay calm and then I spilled. She said "TRAGIC" which I was expecting (she always says tragic when something is well, tragic). Then my phone died and I threw my phone in the sand.

So we wanted to go back into the water which I was fine with because Leo and his crew were all the way in the water and I was closer. So we go back and see Leo's crew getting that tan while me, my god niece, and Joshua made mermaid tails. So Leo's crew go's back in the water and we take a few minutes to enjoy the Frio Frio that we bought. When we were done we went back in the water.

So me and my crew were splashing around and Leo's crew comes up to us. To make it seem like I had no idea that they were coming I kept on splashing around with my god neice and brother. So when they are standing next to my sister the mom says hi and Leo and I exchange greetings too. Since I didn't want to look at them, I kept splashing around while the mom was talking to my sister. When they're were far out of reach of ear, my sister whispers "why are they so nosey?". So me being confused ask "what how were they being nosey" and she says that Leo's mom was asking here if we lived in Manhattan and all that they thought we came from Manhattan and that we must've been in the neiborhood, I don't know. But still. Really.

So by now I have told 13 people about this and I'm kinda nervous about their responses. But the past is the past and I can't change that.

So now we're leaving and since me and my brother forgot our towels, we had to share with Bella. Since we weren't going onto someone's taxi and wet up all the seats, we had to go change in the bathroom. So Joshua and I go in the bathroom. As soon as I walk in, I feel like barfing. Ugh it's so disgusting I don't even want to describe it in fear of remembrance. Plus I was sticky. Which meant I was going to be there for a while.

After it took me and my brother (surprisingly) 45 minutes to get dressed, we took a taxi to Meeras' house.

When we were there we sat down in the porch for a bit. Meeras' house is a multi-family home. It consists of meera and her family, my other godsister and her family, and my godmother and her husband. There used to be more people but I guess they left.

While we were inside we ate played just dance on their Xbox and basically chilled until my mom was there.

Around 45 minutes had passed and my mom was across the street. So we went outside with Meera and Bella while the adults talked and we bought ice cream.

Then, after a long periolodically time (hehe), we left and went home.

Okay well that's all for today ttyl diary.
