Triple Life (#Wattys2015)

Ch 25

"It's Saturday!!! Yay!!!" I squealed inside my room.

I was currently searching for my dark blue converses. I had worn a red, long sleeved t shirt which had a lacy neckline and dark blue jeans. My hair was in a plait and I decided to not wear any makeup. It wasn't like I always wore makeup.  I had already put my pink purse, iPhone, iPod and Samsung camera inside my blue tote.

"Ah here you are!" I sighed in relief, as I found my dark blue converses.

I picked the blue tote from my couch as I hurried downstairs to get to school on time.

"Ah there you are, sweetie. Are you ready to go?" Ria asked me.

"Yep Ria." I said smiling.

"Take care, kiddo! Have fun!" called out Carlo as Ria and I got inside her car.

I smiled at Carlo "Bye Carlo and I will!"

I had already had my breakfast before I got dressed. I had woken up super early today because I was so excited, that I couldn't really sleep.

"Here we are, sweetie. Have fun and take care! Call me when you come back!" Ria said smiling.

"Alright Ria, bye. I will. Thank you." I said as I kissed her on the cheek and got out of the car.

Michelle, Becky, Marilyn, Jade, George and Adrian were already there.

"Belleeeee!" called out Michelle as she attacked  me with a bear hug.

"Michelle!" I tried to sound annoyed but failed.

"Stop acting like you don't like my bear hugs!" Michelle pouted.

I rolled my eyes and laughed as Becky said "She's not acting, we all don't like your bear hugs."

"Ouch! I'm hurt. Stop lying. Marilyn, Jade don't you guys just love my hugs?" Michelle asked from Marilyn and Jade in a high pitched tone.

Marilyn laughed while Jade chuckled "Nope." they chorused.

"Awwww, Aunty Michelle is hurt." Michelle said, dramatically holding her hand on top of her chest, sniffling.

"Aunty Michelle?" I asked her amused.

"Go away! You wicked witch." Michelle said, pretending to be hurt and angry.

All of us ended up laughing at her dramatic performance.

"Hey guys!" Maria greeted us.

"Hello Maria." George waved at her.

We all smiled to acknowledge her presence.

As minutes passed, the others came and Mrs. Winston gestured us to go towards the bus she had hired.

Adrian nodded at me as he sat next to his friend Mark. I sat next to Michelle who was giving bear hugs to all girls despite our feeble attempts to stop her.

"Okay, so we'll be stopping at Central Park." Mrs. Winston told us.

"Michelle, CENTRAL PARK! Yay!!!!" I squealed as Michelle turned to look at me confused.

"Why are you screaming like you just won the lottery, woman?" Michelle asked me, confused.

"We are going to CENTRAL PARK, how can you not be excited?" I poked her.

"What's the big deal?" Michelle looked at me as if I was crazy.

"Big deal? Oh Michelle. we'll be meeting polar bears and apes and crocodiles and penguins. Oh, the lovely zebras, giraffes, monkeys...aww, they are so sweet. I just want to see the polar bears and penguins. You know, the penguin mother-" I was cut off in middle of my rant by Michelle.
