I covered myself with my blanket, throwing my alarm clock to the floor bc i dont wanna get up. When my phone alarmed too. (i cant throw my phone) I yawned, rolled to the other side of the bed causing me to fall down. (ow) i stood up, stretching my arms. my butt hurts. I rubbed my eyes, removing morning stars in my eyes.
I ran into the bathroom then took a shower, after it i changed into some top and skinny jeans, and chuck taylors. "Kayla!!" my older brother, Paul yelled downstairs. "What?" i yell back, while blow drying my hair. "Breakfast is ready!!" he yell back.
I ran downstairs while combing my hair. "goodmorning" i greeted them cheerfuly, i gave my parents a quick peck on the cheeks. I grab a seat , and eat (omg waffles my fave).
I noticed my mother was staring at me 'creepily' so i stared back at her. she smiled then handed me a letter, "what is it?" i asked, after taking a bite from my waffle.
"open it" my mom smiled. "uhm ok" there was no address from the sender tho, maybe it's money? i opened it, there was a pink paper. I took it out and read loudly, what was written on it.
Dear Ms. Williams,
You are invited to join this school year's summer camp thing. Don't worry it's not a class where you'll study, it's just a 1 month stay at the university so you'll get used to it when the school year starts. We look forward seeing you here.
Sincerely,
Sydney University.
"i don't get it" i said, neutrally. (Summer camp thing?) what am i gonna do there? waste my time in the school campus? laaame.
"you'll meet new people there honey" my mom smiled, holding my hand from the table. i think i know where this is going. "and so you can move on fro-" i removed my hand from the table.
"mom" i said, cutting her off. "i'm already okay" i let out a deep sigh. i stood up, "i'll go out for awhile" walking away from the table "where are you going?" my dad asked, "gonna take a walk" then i slammed the door. And once again folks my mother still thinks that i'm 'depressed' which I'm not, okay?
When me and my boyfriend broke up, i changed. I didn't ate, nor sleep; i always locked in my room. That's why my mom decided to send me to New York to continue my studies and forget the things here in Australia. So, i can't blame her for being so overprotective but what the fuck it's been like a year or months.
I walked around the neighbourhood, to get familiar with it and meet people, somehow. my phone buzzed, i opened my phone and answered the call. "Heeey!!" he yelled over the phone. not now, "what" i said, coldly.
"what's wrong?" he asked, "nothing is wrong" everything's wrong.
"then why are you so cold?" im cold cause i'm cool lol get it? nvm.
"why are you asking so many questions?" i told Michael on the phone, trying to sound really annoyed.
"where are you?" why should i tell you "at the park" i answered.
"i'm coming wait for me"
"i wanna be alone for awhile please?" i heard him sighing, "fine be careful ok? bye!!" he always seem so full of energy, "lol bye" i said, ending the call.
i sat down on one of the benches at the park. plugged my earphones, im not listening to anything. Actually, i am listening to everything. "is someone sitting here?" someone asked. he sits down immediately as i say "no"
i can tell that it's a he, from it's voice. I didn't bother looking at it's face cause i was way too focused looking at the pomeranians tied at the tree. "you like dogs?" he asked. "yep" i said, it was silent so i faced him --
oh my god, jesus christ. If i'm dreaming don't wake me up. Why? why? bcos a guy with curly blonde hair, deep dimples and damn those eyes man is infront of me. "you okay?" he asks, i realized i was staring at him for a long period of time. Of course who wouldn't love to stare at his face. It's mouth dropping perfect.
you can't disagree.
"oh haha yea" i scratched the back of my neck because of embarassment. i sat down properly,
"did we met before?" he asks, staring at me. (omg don't stare at me i might melt with those eyes) "i think no" i smiled. "then you must be new in this neighborhood?" he paused, raising his hand and no im not new here. "hi i'm ashton irwin" he introduced himself.
"uhm hey, nice to meet you ashton, im Kayla" i smiled. "can i just call you ayla? bcos kayla's too long" he uttered like something's bothering him. "what? but both of them have the same syllable" i said, raising an eyebrow. holy fuck im so stupid, he was joking. "but kayla sounds long" he pouted. my parents told me to not talk to strangers but "ok fine what ever you want" i chuckled.
Ashton and I talked and talked and talked, the whole evening. Well, almost. I learned that he's gonna graduate this year which makes him a year older than me. He's so nice and friendly. I feel at ease when im around him, it's like i've known him from ages. maybe i've already met him before?
I gazed at my watch, realizing it's almost 5 pm (i have curfew). "hey i gotta go now" i stood up, waving at him "sure" he smiled. "it's nice meeting you bye" i turned around and walked away when, "uhm wait!!" he yelled. He ran towards me.
"can i have your number?" he asked, handing me his phone. "Here", giving his phone back. "Do you still need anything? or?" i stared at him waiting for an answer. "lol you can go now bye" he chuckled. "bye" i said, waving at him.
On my way home, i texted Michael, "hey nigga u gonna come over tonight?" i'm nervous that what if i attend and don't know anyone, i dont know if i could last a week.
*bzzzt* i unlocked my phone to check the message, "yes Summer 🍆" what the? is michael drunk? he only calls me summer when he's drunk and stuff.
"michael, are you gonna attend the summer thing?" i texted him.
