I sat up on my bed and took a quick look at my phone to see the time. 3:17am. I reflected back to the reason that I woke up. I remember that I was dreaming about a idea, although I can't remember what. I got up to wash my face, I was trying so hard to remember my dream because I knew it was good... As the cold water splashed against my face, I clearly remember what I had dreamed just a few minutes ago.
" Mia! Mia! wake up!"- as loudly whispered into her ear as I shook her over and over.
" Is it time for school already?"- Mia groaned.
" No, it is just that i had a amazing idea."- I told her
" Maya, is this about Mr. Molo?"
"Yes"- I answered
"Than there is nothing we can do about it, we heard the boys, it is dangerous"- She said as she closed her eyes and turned the other way.
I will talk to her tomorrow, I said to myself.
I was later awakened by a bright light shining against my eyes. As opened them I saw mom opening the blind.
" Rise and shine!" - She exclaimed.
Remembering my idida from my previous dream, I quickly sat up on my bed, ready to tell it to Mia.
After mom left the room and gave us 5 min to get dressed, I closed the door and climbed up to Mia's bunk.
" Mia, You need to listen to my idea"- I told her
" Ugg! Ok, fine, but you gotta know that we won't be able to do it, in face will not do it."
"Yeah, sure whatever. Just listen. So I was thinking, what if we gave Mr. Molo something to hope for, so that way he won't' feel so hopeless, and he will stop drinking."
With wondering eyes, Mia looks at the ceiling, she was thinking really hard on what I had just told her.
" So what do you think? " - I asked.
" I don't know" - She answered honestly. " I mean, It is a great idea but I just don't think it will work. There is so many things we need to consider before doing this."
"Like what?" - I ask.
" Like what he would hope for. I mean, it's not like we can replace his wife or something, plus if he doesn't feel motivated by his sons, then I don't know what will. " - Mia answers.
" You are right, but we could try asking Oliver and Colin what Mr.Molo likes, that way we actually have a shot at this"- I suggested.
Mia puts her index finger on her chin. Her left eyebrow lifts up just a not, as she tries to decide whether we should do this or not.
" Fine. We should do this, but if the boys end up not wanting to do this, then the plan is over, deal? "
" Deal" - I say as we shake each other's hand and get out of bed.
That morning, we texted Oliver and Colin about meeting us at the spot after school, telling the boys we had something important to tell them.
"Hi guys" - Colin said as he approached us that day.
"So what do you want to tell us?"- Oliver asked looking at Mia and he sat next to her on the bench.
" We want run something by you, it is a idea that Maya and I had" - She stated.
Mia looked at me , signalizing me to say the rest
" Well the thing is, that we want to help you guys. I know we might be younger and you probably think that we can't help, but we have a great idea that will probably work."- I stopped to take a deep breath before continuing on. " In order to solve your father's drinking problem, I think we need something special to keep him motivated. I know it probably sounds corny, but if we can find something that your dad really enjoys, than he will probably stop him from drinking"
