Make it right

         I didn't know what to do. For a moment I sat frozen in thought. I wanted to stand at my window to see if I could spot Jake but I hesitated. I mean, even if I did what would I say. I would just stand there frozen in shame.

            I closed my eyes and before I  realised it, I had dozed into a deep sleep. When my eyes opened, it was dark. It was about 11 pm. I stood up, putted on my bunny slippers and walked to my window. Not that I expected to see him, i just needed some air and a gaze at the neighbourhood.

             As time went on I thought so much about how I wanted to go back to school so badly. After some minutes of staring at the quite neighbourhood with nothing but vacuum staring back at me, again I dozed into sleep. I slept right on the ground in front of my window wich it left open.

             It was cold. But I was too sleepy to even open my eyes and stand up to close it shut. Though I was asleep, I still heard it when my mum walked into my room, closed the window, and I felt the warm blanket she put around me.

            The next morning, I wasn't feeling that good. The cold air had given me a slight cold and I felt sick. I kept on sneezing and my nose itched. Anyway, I wanted to stand up and, get to my bed but I didn't want the warm blanket off my body.

            I opened my eyes slightly and then I closed it shut. After about 30 minutes, I got up and freshened up. When I headed to the kitchen to fetch a snack. Mum had left me breakfast on the dinning table, something she almost never does. I realised that
she had left a letter right under my plate of fried eggs and the letter read  "Sorry sweetie."

            I knew there was a catch but the food was tasty though. After I was done, I washed my plate and just when I was about to place it in the cabinet, I saw the invitation to Jake's party which he gave me some days ago. I opened it and it was just the coming Saturday.

            I hurriedly put my plate down in the cabinet and rushed to my room to find the perfect outfit. I mean, it would be a great opportunity for me. You know, to apologise to Jaky .... I mean Jake for over reacting and behaving like a jerk.

            I brushed away the thought and got back to searching for the appropriate dress. I had no idea what to wear, I kept on trying on clothes. At a point, I gave up.

             I sat on the bed and stared 
at the mess I made. I packed up and went out for a walk. The Friday afternoon smelt so fresh. I kept on for some reason rehearsing how I would apologize to him.

            You could say I was talking to myself but the kind of person I was, I  didn't care what other people thought. I kept practising over and over again just then I bumped into someone. For a moment I hesitated to raise my head up. I just wanted to walk away. But the person pulled me back instantly without hesitation only for me to notice Jake.

           For a moment we stared blankly at each other. Nothing to say. He was probably waiting for an apology but I was frozen by shame and shyness at the sight of him.
