Spring Dream

1

"uh! I hate school", I muttered to myself as I made my way  through the crowed school hall way. Though my school was one of the finest school in the city but I hated school. "Akky! hey wait for me!" I heard someone shouting behind me I turned around to find my Best Friend Tanya running right in my direction. Tanya Jain was my Best Friend since we started school in first grade. She is a sister I always wanted. I am a single child to my parents so is Tanya so we are

"Sister from different mister". She locked my hand in hers and we walked down the hallway to our first class of our last day of school. Yes, finally spring was here. But not like the American Springs, bikini, beaches ,surf and sands springs in India were far more different. We don't wear bikinis in public, our city is not on the coastal line so no beach no sand and no surf! Springs for us were hot summer winds, staying in your room for the whole day and watching movies or sleeping and no school for about like two months or so. Though our springs weren't that happening still we waited for it every year.

Me and Tanya sat next to each other in our classes. The last day was almost over and now it was our final class of our final day "English" I loved English I was our English teacher's most favourite student because of my Accent. Though I was an Indian I didn't had that typical Indian Accent. I use to watch alot of American and British Tv shows and movies that I  slowly learned how they speak. My friends always use to tease me that I was born in the wrong country because I never like the Indian way of living.

"So Miss. Akriti, would you like to tell us what are your plans for the summer?"

I slowly stood up from my chair," well, Mrs. Sharma I don't know what else am going to do in spring besides watching movies and sleeping." The words left my mouth before I could catch it and the whole class burst out in laughter. Well, you know when you and thinking about a certain thing and it's always in your mind and when you are talking that thing comes out from nowhere, that's what happened with me.

"Akriti, you should try doing something more creative than just sleeping, anyway sit down. Anyone else want to tell about their summer pla-"

Mrs. Sharma was interrupted by the school bell and now it was the time for SPRING BREAK!

I came home after school and invaded directly into the kitchen because I was so hungry. My mom dad both worked so i use to stay at home all by my self till the evening. After having my little brunch I went to my room to take a nap. I was woken up by the sound of the door bell. I ran to open the door. There stood my mom, she was in her early forties but she looked like she was still twenty flawless skin, slim body and black hair. She was wearing a navy blue knee length skirt and white blouse. "hello swetty  how are you?" she greeted me as she made her way to the centre couch. "Mine was fine mom, how was yours?"

"It was good. Come I have something to tell you."  I sat next to my mom and she continued, "Look Akriti your dad is going to L.A for a business trip and he asked me to ask you that are you interested in going with him? you always wanted to go to America but swetty your dad will be busy in his meetings, if you go you have to be on your own for the day and I think its not safe to leave you all alone by yourself in an unknown country. But the choice is completely yours." I was spellbound. America has always been my DREAM. But staying there alone while my dad was out for meeting made me nervous.

"Mom that's a really nice plan, besides America being my DREAM staying there all by myself is kinda scary, but I also don't want to let go this chance. I will think about it. Can I tell dad what my decision is till tomorrow?"

"Yes, you can, talk to him at night." she told me. I nodded and went to my room.

I was feeling like I was the president of a country and my decision could change the complete future of the whole country. It was hard, I always thought whenever I would get I chance of going to America I won't ever let it go but now when it is actually in front of me I don't know what to do, though I'll be going there with my dad but dad won't be with me for the rest of day,what will I do then! What if someone kidnapped me! This is so hard!

I stayed in my bed for the rest of the day and night, just went down but didn't talked much. I didn't slept the whole night and now it was 8:00 am. I had finally made my decision and now I'll be going down to tell my parents.
