After school I went to get extra supplies for my literature, science,geography, and music classes. I felt like I was missing some supplies, I decided wether or not to text katie and confirm it, but I decided against it, she might be busy also. I sighed as I read through the list

*1/2 inch binder

*colored pencils

*folder's (4 pack)

*8 by 8inch cardboard

*graph paper

*lined paper

*gloves

*world map

*pens

*composition notebook

*highlighters

I spent 2 houres looking for the supplies and after I was satisfied with what I had bought I went back home I had a snack and put all of the new object's in my backpack and hung it up on the hook of my closet. I read through all the papers for my classes that explained what the students will learn and accomplish while taking that session, when I got done it was 8pm and I was hungry. I went downstairs to see my dad coming in through the front door with a bag in his hand. I quickly hid behind the corner of the stairwell and watched him as he sighed, taking off his coat and boots, and walked into the living room. My mum didn't seem to be home, I guess she went out not expecting to find my father home when she got back. I went back upstairs and purposely dropped something heavy on the floor to create a noise to get my fathers attention. My plan worked and he came upstairs to my room,calling my name

'Angela?'

'Oh, hey dad, didn't notice you were back.' I said quietly

He scratched the back of his neck 'Yeah, uhm just got back a few minutes ago.'

'Oh, okay...cool.'

"Where's your mother?'

'I don't know actually, I think she went to the market.'

'Oh, alright, are you hungry?'

'Uhm, yeah a bit.'

'I can make some steak?'

'Alright, I'll be down in a few, thanks dad'

He nodded his head, left my room and went back downstairs without saying anything.

After I got everything in place and got my outfit out for tomorrow I went downstairs and saw that my father was getting the salad and some drinks ready for dinner. He only set 2 plates and glasses, guess he wasn't expecting mum home till after dinner.

We were in the middle of dinner, making small talk about school and the weather, and I herd the door opening, I turned around and saw my mum standing at the front door with bags in her hand. She didn't seem to notice us in the dining room beside her and started taking off her shoes and coat. We sat there watching her for a few seconds until my father cleared his throat and seemed to get her attention.

She looked up at us and her eyes widened instantly,  she furrowed her eyebrows together and opend her mouth as if to say something but closed it again. I turned out back to my dad and he was smiling at her, figuring this was to akward for me I quickly drank the remaining liquid in my glass and got up to leave the room.

'Charlie?'

'Hello, Linda'

'W-Where have you been?!?!'

'Uhm, at a friends house...Linda I just wanted to say how sorry I was for leaving unexpectedly'

Wow, he's never really apologized for leaving before, usually he just comes and stays quiet for a few days

'W-Well...uhm I-Its alright. ..'

'I made us some steak, we could talk over dinner if you want?'

He quickly looked at my direction and looked away, I took that as a reason to run upstairs and go to my room while my parents figured things out. I went to lay down when I herd my phone buzz on my dresser, I opened the code lock on my screen and saw that katie had texted me. I opened up the text and it read

'From:Katie

Hey, Angela?  I just wanted to make sure this was the correct number'

I chuckled and texted back

'To: Katie

Oh hey Katie, yeah this is Angela.xx'

Ever since 7th year I had a habit of putting '.xx' at the end of my texts, it seemed like a cute little message so I didn't see a problem in it

'From: Katie

Alright, Cool. Well see ya at school tomorrow :)'

Well that was a short conversation, but it was already 10pm and I needed to get up for school tomorrow.  I set down my phone on the dresser and put it on charge, looks like I have another day ahead of me.
