Alexis
A droplet of water landed on the tip of my pen as I am about to write the next line of 'Once Upon Olympus' I gaze up at the once clear blue skies which were now turning cloudy and blocking out the natural sunlight. I groaned as I stood up quickly grabbing my socks and shoes and running away till I managed to seek shelter in my house. My mum had heard the door close and walked to the hallway to embrace me in a hug, I obliged and squeezed her back, letting my wet clothes, skin and hair dampen her own.
She looked at me, I was still so overcome with emotion over 'my mystery man' I knew she could see it in my eyes,
" Well you look like you had a great time darling, how was it? What did you do?" She seemed to be very quizzical about what I had been doing.
I had to lie, again.
"Oh not much, just walking across the beach and then we sat down and. . . . . . . I MET A REALLY CUTE GUY WHO ACTUALLY WANTS TO SEE ME AGAIN!" I blurted out, as soon as I'd finished I covered my mouth with my hands, what had I done! I knew the truth would come out eventually, there is only so long you can hold a lie, at least I hadn't told her about not actually going to 'meet a friend', wait! Did she think the 'friend I was meeting' was the guy!?
As I was thinking way too much into the entire situation, my mother dropped the frying pan she was holding to the ground, not even flinching at the horrendous crash on the tiles. She slowly blinked three times then stared directly at me.
"Now listen here young lady, si tu crees que puedes venir a mi casa y hablar de un chico como si fuera normal estar con un chico con tus anos pues no lo es, de acuerdo? Ay madre mío porque tenia que ser un chico, UN CHICO, tu me has dicho que vas a estar con un amigo, pero no me has dicho que to amigo es un CHICO! Tengo que hablar con sus padres y tengo que hablar con el también, no tengo que hablar con el ahora mismo! Quien cree que es? Empezando a conocer a mi bebe, sin MI permiso......No te a echo nada verdad, espera te a pagado? Estás bien?........are you ok?,he didn't hurt you did he?" Her face looked like one of a ghosts, after ranting on for at least fifteen minutes in Spanish, (she starts to rant on Spanish whenever she is feeling a really strong emotion, it's her first language).
"No mama of course not, I do have some common sense you know." I tried to reassure her, after all he ( who I still don't know the name of ) is a great person, from what I have gathered from the three sentences he said to me, and the many he has said in my story. "He's really nice and he's not dangerous at all! Now can we just drop the subject please?" I tried to plead with my paranoid mother,
After a while of looking me up and down then staring deep into my hazel eyes, she replied "Fine but only if you promise that I can meet him, ok" she looked deeper into my eyes as if expecting the answer to be written on the other side.
"Yes mum, fine whatever you say, just please drop it" I answered whilst making my way up the stairs stopping her from asking any more awkward questions, thankfully we hadn't had the 'act responsibly, especially around boys' talk yet. And thank god because she would probably compare boys to a chainsaw of a lethal dagger, of something that could kill you.
I swear it's all because dad left and she doesn't want the same happening to me, but she is just being way too over protective and I'm getting bored of it all. If I find a guy I really like then I won't make the same mistakes she did. Wait you can't say that if mum didn't meet my dad then I would not have been born! Wait but would that have been better?, No stop thinking like this, your being stupid, just take a deep breath, forget about the past, and move on in your petty life. Ok great pep talk to yourself, Now where was I? Oh yes I was just about to forget about the, no stop the key word here is FORGET no stop reminding yourself, and stop with the self pep talks.
All of a sudden I felt all drowsy I guess I had been so concentrated on my stupid blabber mouth, I didn't realise how tired I was getting. Maybe it was from all the heart racing about 'you know who', and no I'm not talking about Voldemort, I'm talking about my Hercules. Stop day dreaming and start actual dreaming. I spoke to myself as I flopped on my bed covers and let sleep pull my eyelids down over my eyes like a blanket tucking me in for comfort.
