Life Of May(Editing)

Silence

MAY
Today must have been the best day of my life. I met rather my crush met me and not only did we meet but we had a conversation. It really was a big deal to me. I know his name now. Matte, Matte what a sexy name. Matte's very own vixen. I thought to myself as I watched my favourite tv show. That episode did not even matter because I had my own tv show playing in my head. This one quite interesting because I was the star in it. Sasha my dog wanted to play fetch but I couldn't concentrate on her because my thoughts were focused on fetching that guy.
I decided to cook supper early that day because I was not willing to meet my mum in one of her moods so that she can spoil mine.
I was done with everything by the time it was 6pm. Therefore, leaving me with all the time to dream about my prince charming.
I realised that it got out of hand and decided to put on some music to help me clear my mind. As the music was playing, I fell asleep and could not remember what happened after that until the next morning.
The next day was a saturday which meant that I did not have to go to school or go through a lot of drama in the morning with my mum. I woke up only to find that she had already prepared breakfast for the both of us and that she had done all the chores. I was so shocked at this that I finally woke up and realised that all that was nothing but a dream. My mum would never wake up to do all the chores when I'm around. She believed in making me do every single thing around the house without delay.
There was a note left for me saying that I had to sweep the house, do the laudry, do the dishes, re pack the supply closet and dust the surfaces before she got home. Many people would think that my mum mistreats me upon seeing the note but that was a relief as compared to other Saturdays.
I worked in silence and made it a point that I had to do my best so that I should not have an argument with her upon her arrival.
She did not put 'cook' on her commands so I automatically knew that my mum and I were going to eat out today. We usually did this on every Saturday that it lost all its meaning until today.

MATTE
Saturday is a very interesting day for me because I get to train for basketball for longer hours than usual then later go out with my family to eat. My family comprises of my dad, my mum, my sister who is younger than me by three years and myself.
This particular Saturday, my mum was thinking outside the box and decided that all of us should wear matching T-shirts which she had already bought. I hated doing such but she insisted and I just had to wear mine. Truth be told, my family looked like a family of clowns. I really hated the outfit but I could not miss this Saturday outing because I loved the food they served wherever we went.

MAY
Mum arrived earlier than usual today and ordered me to get dressed as we were supposed to eat at some fancy place. This excited me a little and I wore a dress she bought me. It was a black body fitting dress that reached the length of just below my knees. She would never get me something so revealing. I still kept my braided hair in a ponytail and finished my look by putting on a pair of nude sandles.

MATTE
We headed for our usual eating place. It was always the same routine. Dad was always driving while mum sat in the passenger's seat next to him and my sister, Karen sat in the backseat next to me. When we got there, we ordered food, ate and went back home. All this until today.
When we got there my entire facial expression changed as I saw may and someone who seemed to be her mother seated on two tables ahead of our table. She looked as innocent as I remember her looking the precious day. She looked even more beautiful in black. I stared long enough that I saw her mother tell her something. May immediately stood up and walked towards the ladies room. The sight upon her standing was heaven sent. Her body fitting black dress gave away all her curves and it made her look lighter in complexion. Her nude sandles gave me an impression that she was a girly girl. I imagined her in my arms as I did the previous day. Stuck in my thoughts, Karen gave me a tap on my back.

KAREN
I know my brother very well and from my observation he was eying Maylander Peters. I know her because we attend the same highschool even though we don't talk. Well she is very anti social and does not really talk to anyone. I tapped Matte, he got back to his senses and I whispered "forget it, Maylander Peters is not into guys". Upon hearing this, he was shocked as to how I knew her and I explained that we went to the same school and took the same classes.

MATTE
This statement from my sister came to me as a relief rather than as a depression. It was confirmed that she was a single lady and all I had to do was play my cards right to win her over. She was such a trophy that I could not lose. Her looks didn't deceive. She was beautiful, well structured, innocent looking and a possible virgin. Such girls are rare of which I cannot count my sister among because I know my little slut sister and what she does.

MAY
As I came from the ladies room, I saw Matte and wondered what he was doing there as though I owned the place. I looked in his direction and our eyes met. All I could give was a half smile as I could feel my mum's eyes on me. I acted like I did not know him and when she asked me about the smile I denied all allegations. I did this because my mum thought I was not involved with boys in any way and telling her about Matte would bring uncalled for problems with her. I know she would think that I had become promiscuous which would call for lengthy speeches. I opted to stay in silence and not let her know about my crush and that he was in the same building as we were at that particular moment.
