I let the water flow through my body, my hair waving around the cool liquid and my soggy fingers brushing through the small waves created by my legs. I swim towards the end of the pool, bringing my head up and out of the pool.
"Record time!" my bestfriend, Adam cheers, holding a stop watch in his hand as I get out of the pool. He hugs me with a huge smile on his face. "Thanks, Adam" I tell him as he puts his arm around me and we walk towards my house "You know, I think I can still beat you" He tells me with a smirk as I laugh "Yeah, you wish. Remember last time we raced?" I laugh at the memory and he chuckles "Yeah but my foot hurt so of course you would win" He tells me and I raise my eyebrow "Is this a challenge I hear?" I ask him and he nods eagerly and we both run into the pool and dive in.
The cool water hits my body again and I glide through it like a bird soaring through the sky. I feel Adam behind me and I smile to myself because I already know who's going to win. I kick my legs and wave my arms until I finally reach the wall of the other side of the pool. "Beat you again!" I scream as Adam frowns at me. "That's not fair... You are the champion swimmer of the whole state" He says and I smile at him "Well I learnt from the best" I hit his arm playfully and he smirks "Me?" "No" "What?" he looks at me confused "Of course you, you doofus" I laugh and get out of the water.
The cold air instantly hits me and freezes my body until I wrap myself around with a towel "What time is it?" I ask Adam who is looking at his phone "10:37" He tells me, his eyes widening. "Oh no, my moms gonna kill me. Let's go!" I grab his wet hand as we run towards my house.
Our feet paddle against the driveway of my house and I slowly open the door, revealing my mom sitting on the sofa, watching TV. When she hears the door creak open, she looks towards our
direction "WHERE HAVE YOU TWO BEEN!? ITS HALF AN HOUR PAST YOUR CURFUE!" She yells at us, mostly at me. "I'm sorry mom, we were at the swimming pool" I tell her.
"Adam, I think you should go" She tells him and he nods, hugging me and giving me a small peck on the cheek "See you tomorrow, Val. Bye, Mrs. Harris" He looks at my mom who faintly smiles at him as he walks out the door.
"First Steph and now you.." My mom says, walking into the kitchen. I follow behind her. "What did Steph do this time?" I ask and she shrugs "I don't know, since she doesn't answer her phone and she doesn't come home!" She raises her voice "I'll text her" I tell her and walk up the stairs into my room.
I grab my phone from my bed and quickly text my sister, Steph asking where she is. That's when I hear the front door open and footsteps walking through the living room. Wondering if it's her, I walk towards the staircase and see her collapse onto the couch.
"Stephanie Harris!" My mother walks in and Steph looks up "Mom, leave me alone" She whines and rolls over on the couch "Where have you been!?" my mom asks and Steph groans. "At Matt's house, not like you care anyway" she says and my mom raises her eyebrows. "I told you to stay away from that boy, he is a bad influence for you" My mom says and Steph gets up from the couch "I'm gonna go to sleep" she says and stumbles towards the staircase.
"Are you drunk?" my mother asks fiercely "Maybe.." Steph giggles and my mom runs her hand through her hair "I'm done with you, Stephanie. I'm sending you to a boarding school" she says and walks to her room. "Yeah, right mom! You always say that but it never happens" Steph calls out and my mom slams the door.
Steph obnoxiously giggles and walks up the stairs, bumping into me. I follow her towards her room and enter before she closes the door. "What do you want, Valerie?" She asks, holding her head "You were at Matt's party weren't you?" I ask her as she sighs "Duh, where else would I be?" she reaches down to take off her heals but ends up kicking them off.
"Mom is seriously getting tired of your behaviour" I tell her and she laughs "Whatever." "Do you think she is going to send you to a boarding school? She sounded serious this time" I tell her and she laughs once again and shakes her head "She wouldn't."
We stay silent for a minute until Steph kicks me out of her room.
I take a quick shower and go downstairs to get water. I hear my mom talking on the phone and quietly linger in the hallway hearing her conversation.
"I know it's hard for her with everything happening right now but I can't keep doing this alone. And with James in jail it doesn't help at all." she says and I bite my lip. My dad, James, got arrested a month ago for drunk driving and killing a 14 year old girl that was crossing the street. My dad used to drink all the time and was never home, always at the bar, drinking and getting into fights with other men. My mom has had to bail him out of jail many times.
He really wasn't the best influence for Steph and I so I can see where her rebellious personality comes from.
"So do you think the girls can stay with you guys until school starts over there and you can help them move into the dorms?" my mom asks, still talking on the phone. My eyes widen, she actually is sending her to a boarding school. Wait. She said "girls". That means I'm going too.
"What!?" I say before thinking and enter the kitchen. My mom turns around and looks at me "I have to go, I will call you back" She says into the phone and hangs up. "Val..." "No! I'm not going to a boarding school!" I tell her and she shakes her head "I can't just send Steph there alone. I need you to look after her and keep her from doing bad things" She tells me "Steph is older than me! She can look out for herself!" I whine and she shakes her head again "I'm sorry, honey, but it is what it is" She says and I storm out of the kitchen.
She can't do this to me, it's not fair. Even though I don't have many friends that I'm gonna miss other than Adam, this was the place where I was born and lived my whole life. She can't just send me away with my sister all because she is having troubles.
I swing my sister's door open and storm in "It's all your fault!" I scream, throwing a pillow at her "What are you going on about now?" She asks and looks at me confused. "Mom is sending us to a boarding school all because of you! I hope you're happy!" I scream and run out of her room and into mine.
This is going to be an interesting school year...
