The Final Race

•CHAPTER 6

Stephanie

I am still trying to get this whole grandpa thing out of my head, it has not been so easy but I am trying, the week seemed to fly by fast and it's already Thursday, the day of the songs of service, if there is one thing I hate, it's singing, I hate singing, definitely I'll be forced to sing or maybe not, after all it's for grand dad.The good thing about this, I have a four day weekend, mum took permission for me to be out of school till Monday, no History, this is life .

"Stephanie" Rushelle said walking into my room

"What's up ?"

"What do you want ?"

"You caught me, I'll just get straight to it , I need your black lip stick "

"We are going for a song of service not a meeting with Jezebel Rushelle"

"Are you giving it to me, yes or no?"

"Whatever, it's in the drawer next to my guitar "

"Thanks " she said walking out

I can't believe my sister, I mean her fashion sense has not always been the best but still, wow, she baffles me.

I am really hungry,so I head downstairs to grab the left over pizza from yesterday night, and then the doorbell rings,

"Wow, just when I decided to come downstairs, good timing " I said to myself.

I open the door and I am shocked to see Sonia

"Oh, hey " I say , " I didn't expect to see you here "

"Yeah, I just thought I should stop by to see if you are doing well and to tell you I qualified for X - factor"

"Ahhhhh" I screamed , " Omg, I am happy for you, congratulations, we would have celebrated but, you know "

"Yeah, sadly, it's okay though, and on a ad note, your assignments " she handed me like three textbooks and a hard copy ,

"Ugh, really, even in moments like this no mercy? ,wow "

"Lol, just be happy , I have to go now, bye "

"Bye Sonia, thank you so much , I appreciate, " I gave Hera big hug and waved her good bye.

I can't believe I am going to see my best friend every week on TV, and it's international, wow , Sonia will blow.

I lost appetite and I ran up the stairs to tell my sisters.

"You guys, you guys !" I shouted running up the stairs

"Your shouting Tinkerbell, what's the problem you ran out of pixie dust ? "Asked Olivia, she and Rushelle laughed so loud.

"Haha, are you done now ?" I asked

"Nope, give us like five more minutes " said Olivia

"Ugh, Sonia qualified for X-factor "

"Are you serious ? That's so cool, I am happy for her" said Olivia

"I hope she wins, I need money for a car"

"Whatever , that's all I wanted to tell you guys"

" go get dressed mum and dad will be here in fifteen minutes " said Rushelle, wearing a black statement necklace looking in the mirror, she looked nice but then still gone black lipstick.

I got to my room , wore a black chiffon dress and flats, my hair in a bun, I was looking okay for a mourner, just then I looked at grandad's picture on my dresser,picked it and kissed and said " I wish you were here "

My moment of silence was broken my the loud horn of dad's new Porsche , that signified, it was time to go. I left my room, so did my sisters, we got into the car.

"You girls look good" said dad

"I second "that said mum, adjusting her lipstick sitting in the front seat .

"Thanks " we all chorused

"Let's go for a funeral "said Olivia

"Whoopi " I replied

"Yeah, whoopi " said Rushelle
