Nervous. I Roxanne Chukwu am nervous. About what you may ask well to answer that I am nervous about the BIGGEST once in a life time opportunity in my life EVER. If I screw up I'll humiliate myself In front of them I'm not in any way prepared for that. In any given time I would see a green light that indicates that the user is online at the moment. Any time now I will face the people I have only dreamt about meeting for some time now. My sock covered feet move around the all too familiar room in circles just like my thoughts. Taking over my body and actions until I am not in control just moving with the flow of my feet and letting them take me wherever. Just like a wave carrying a boat in the sea and swaying in wherever the wind takes it. My fingers cross and uncross each other nervously  in my clammy palms while my eyes look anxiously to the open laptop that lays on top of my bed waiting for that green light to show up already.

The sound of my phone startles me and makes me trip on my feet and land right on my bum on the cold hard wood floor. I look at the caller ID and want to desperately to yell at the person then hang up but I figure it will be rude so I scramble to my feet and answer the call.

"H—hello", I answer

"ROXANNE whats up, lol long time no chat how was your trip"

It was Patricia who was calling. I haven’t really talked to her since the night before we left for Niagara Falls.

"yea sorry bout that I was having fun with the fam and I was not sure if I could text you since we were near the border and all"

"Oh its okay as long as you spent quality fam time ya know"

"I guess. So what brings you the courtesy of calling me today"

"I just wanted to say welcome back and maybe even catch up maybe if your not busy that is"

I rolled my eyes at that. Sometimes when Patricia wants to 'catch up' I think she means 'let me talk about all my problems while you just nod along to them and if you try to talk I'll talk over you'. She sometimes gets on my nerves but I just can't tell her that in person I just whisper these negative comments to myself whenever she talks and hope she will shut the hell up soon. But, that never ever works because she still goes on and on about her life.

"Well, all we did was go to popular must goes in Niagara… how about um you", I say the last part hesitantly and hopping she won't tell me the story of her life in details while repeating the same thing over and OVER again. I sit myself down on my bed still glancing at the laptop from time to time knowing this is going to be awhile.

"Oh well me and cmvpba you know Clarice, Monsina, Veronica, me, Bheangel(ben-jell), and April right. Well we all went to the mall together and guess what. The bum Alyiah was there and guess who she was with no one other than the bum, DAVE. Like you know he has a girlfriend and all like what. The. Heck is he doing with another girl and not the girl he is dating who happens to be my friend. Like seriously are you cheating or what I said that"

Sometimes I can't really understand her English cause it makes no sense I even keep wondering why she is not in ESL at times.

"Then he was all like don't talk to us he said in a whisper and Alyiah has the nerve THE NERVE to defend him and say he broke up with my friend today. I was really shocked and I just wanted to smack him so hard for breaking my friend's heart. Like what a bum since we did not want to start a scene Clarice was like guys let's leave it lets go around and enjoy our day. N we all agreed to her idea. That all happened yesterday."
