"Hey,party tonight,8pm,wanna come?"
I stared at the phone screen and memories began to rush in. Last night, I told Daddy I was going for a walk and met up with Ashley Woods and her "squad". At least that's what they call themselves. Ashley was so happy to see me like they wouldn't have had fun without me(yes,thank you, I am that interesting). It wasn't as boring as the church girls made it. Even youth games at church looked like Sunday service on a park. Why the heaven do they even call it youth games?
"Hi" Mom said approaching my bed. I quickly took my phone and exited the message screen pretending to be facebooking.
"Yes Mum" I responded with eyes still on my phone, wasn't ready for the "you know we love you talk"
"Kenzie,you know we love you" (I should be earning some dollars for right predictions of parent talk)"and we simply want the best for you",Mom said with that tone of "hey try to understand us"." Yes Mom,I understand and I'm sorry" I said,I had to apologize because of the plan I'd made up in the past 3 seconds.
"baby girl,one day you'd understand that we are doing this for your own good,your Dad loves you so much and we all want the best for you" Mom continued.
"Yes Mom, I promise not to do that again" I said pouting my lips. Mom just smiled and planted a kiss on my forehead and headed for the doorI buried my face in my hands and hastily grabbed a tissue from my bedside that the tissue box hit the floor. Mom quickly rushed back and held my hands which were to my face. "Kenzie,are you alright?". I abruptly stood up front the bed and went to the window with more tears pouring down my cheeks. " Kenzie,talk to me,what's wrong? ". I looked away from her and apologized.
" I'm sorry Mom for breaking down this way"
"What's wrong dear?"
"I'm sorry Mom," I said, crying some more,"I could have had a chance tomorrow and I totally blew it ?"
"Why" Mom questioned full of sympathy.
"I planned a sleepover with a friend for her birthday tomorrow but looks like I'm not going.Dad is still mad at me.
"Oh Baby" Mom said hugging me"I'd talk to him about it,He'd understand".
"Thanks Mom, I love you" I mumbled hugging her tighter.Thats why Moms are easily to manipulate. After Mom left the room,I quickly texted back to Ashley. "Sure thing,8pm then". I laid on my bed adoring my acting skills in front if Mom earlier on and how tomorrow was going to be so much fun with the peopke who are supposedly " not of me". Sleep came over and soon I was claimed.
-------------------------
I understand that Alarm Clocks were made to wake humans up but sometimes, the sound should be appealing not like a strangling rat. Alarm read 3:00am and I shrieked. No,I didn't shriek,I wanted to cry. Kezia did it again. What was I supposed to do at 3am??I woke up and found myself at the foot of my door. Could life get any better?Who dragged me here,I wondered, and hit my head with my hands twice. After the 3am alarm woke me up,I was heading straight to Kezia's room for revenge. I must have probably slept at my bedroom doorstep. I still don't understand how that happened. Gotta dress up and be alive,I said to myself
"Good morning everyone" I yawned and moved to the waves of the aroma of Kezia's cookies. I grabbed a few went to the hall. Who still watches Barney when the last child is almost 18? I picked the remote and tuned in to something. I dont really remember what I was watching because my mind was stayed on that romance movie Joy Prime TV was showing. It wasnt like I could watch it be because yeah,I'm a Christian. Sucks right?
"She's not going anywhere Lilian, I planned to ground her for three weeks" I overheard that from Dad and almost choked on the cookies. "She has to understand that".
Dad stormed from his room,leaving Mom there I guess and went out to mow the fields. Mom came out staring at something in her hand. " Shit!! where is my phone " I asked myself and found Mom in front of me with my phone
"Shit!! I'm dead,I'm gonna for grounded for eternity now" I said internally.
"Kenzie, I'm talking to you" Mom shouted so loud I thought I could go deaf. You see this is where I can't talk back because some part of the Bible says honor your parents."So you had the guts to lie to me to my face?
"I'm sorry"
"To your room,Grounded for a month!"Earth please open up swallow me now!!!!
