Beep! beep! beep!
Beep! Beep! Beep!
"Ugh, okay fine" I groaned miserably, got my hand out of the warm bed and exposed it to the biting frostness I called my room, quickly shut my alarm and pulled my arm back to safety.
Why should I get up today, because it's a school day. I argued with myself like this every single day, kind or a ritual really. And its a Friday, so get up for that, plus........
Whoa I smell food. I hopped out of bed excited, I was normally the first one in the house to wake up and I would just eat an Apple or something sort of food for breakfast.
Okay wait......that really is werid, everyone here at home is really lazy, why and who is making breakfast. What if someone broke in and .......
"Nadia is that you?" I heard my mother's voice from the kitchen.
"Yes mama" I sighed out in relief and ran towards the kitchen to see what was being made.
I must be dreaming, it looked like a whole buffet, like in the movies where every plate was full of all the foods you would dream about. I sat down and began to pour myself some apple juice, my stomach growled with excitement as I looked and the food and decided where to begin.
"Uh uh, no ways Nadia, not while you are still in you pyjamas, Humba"
"Mama" I pleaded, and have her big puppy dog eyes, when I saw that she wasn't having it, I looked down at her giant belly and whispered "Your mother is horrible"
"Go put your uniform on first Nadia" I felt like a child who woke up to early on Christmas and had to wait to open the presents.
I dragged my feet up the stairs and bumped into something hard
"Morgen Nadia"
"Morning dad" I looked at him with sad eyes.
"Don't even try, she did the same thing to me" he said laughing, how did he know that is what I was thinking.
I groaned and went back to my room and got my phone to play music, music was the one thing every morning that would get me in the mood for school.
After having a shower and fighting with my hair, I went back downstairs and ate the breakfast, enjoying very bite.
"I'm done!" I shouted, getting ready to go to school , my dad always took me, but we would always pick up my best friend first Busi, she lived with her grandmother and she couldn't drive, so we have been picking her up and dropping her off for as long as I knew her, and I knew her since grade 1.
"Hey Nadine", she shouted at me.
"Busi ! Stop it that was one time" the netball coach got my name wrong once and now she won't stop calling me that.
"Morgen Mr Lange"
"Morning Busi"
School was boring as usual nothing interesting ever happened, just classes and more classes and more classes.
"What you doing g thing December holiday" Busi asked me while we were moving towards our seat where we sat everday, as I looked at the seat I saw Jessica, Ashley and Desiree.
"Oh I'm probably going to Germany again to go see my grandparents, last year was Cape Town to see my other grandparents"
"The perks of having different raced parents" I heard Busi say next to me.
"What about different raced parents" Ashley asked, she also had different raced parents, but her father was black and her mother white, while mine was the other was around.
"Nadia is going to Germany again" Busi
Said to the whole group.
"That must be really cool Nadia" Jessica said
"Guys" I rolled my eyes
Having a German dad and South African mother, was sometimes most of what we talked about, but I was born here in South Africa and planned to leave once I go to university. My parents had always told me to go and explore the world and learn many things from it.
The rest of break we laughed and spoke about guys and the Matric dance coming up soon, I still had to find a date, but that was a problem for later.
Once school ended I went to the library and caught Busi and Jason together, but decided to leave them alone this time, I was always disrupting them.
So I studied until my dad called me and said that he was here, went to Busi and had to rip her off of Jason so we could go home.
Once I got home I greeted my mother and the babies inside her, yeah she's having twins, but they are keeping the sex a secret.
"Nicolai!" My mother called my dad.
I went to my room and hopped on my bed
"TGIF" I whispered and fell asleep.
"NADIA!" I heard my mother shouted from the kitchen "NADIA!"
"Mama!"
"Why have you not been answering!"
I was not in the mood to have a whole conversion screaming around the house so I quickly got dressed into comfortable clothes and went down to her, again the was food on the table and my dad was sitting at the table and my mom sitting next to him, both staring at me, almost as if excited about something.
"Yes?" I said even though no body said a thing
"Sit down " my mother said to me.
I did so slowly still looking at my parents smiling back at me.
"Let's eat!" My mom said and clapped her hands, giving me a fright.
"Lebo" my dad chuckled and looked at my mom.
"You got accepted!"
My eyes widened an I immediately stood up.
"Your going to New York!"
After the sentence I blacked out, once I had calmed down I saw my parents and they were laughing at me, my dad even had his cellphone out and was recording me.
I went to them and hugged them both and ran back to my room and called Busi.
"I got accepted to NYU" I shouted as soon as she picked up the phone
"Oh my gosh!" She shouted back " we are celebrating tomorrow! I am calling everyone and we are having a party, Oh my gosh, oh my gosh!!"
I smiled into the phone, she was the best.
We spoke the whole night and I fell asleep with a smile on my face, thinking about furture and how awesome it is going to be.
Beep Beep Beep
Beep Beep Beep
The next day, Saturday! Wait why is my alarm ringing then?
I tried to open my eyes but I couldn't, they seemed so heavy. I tried to lift my arm but again it felt to heavy, I couldn't move!... what is wrong, what is happening to me?
