Distanced

3~ As strange as it sounds

Revekka: so what do we do first Miss Bevans *enthusiasm*
Mannette: umm firstly you'll need to take your journal and write down what ever made you unhappy.

She nodded and grabbed her journal and started writing, then I took my journal and I wrote down what had made me so unhappy.

Well here I am again, unhappy and all. Well this time it's nobody's fault, cause I'm the reason why I'm to so miserable. Yesterday I had exposed my friend to very mean and untrustworthy kids, they had asked how we became friends and  I told them, but some where along the line I told em bout ma frnds crush Donavon. They became loco and told everyone at school, the news then got to Donavon ND he heard bout it ND confronted my frnd, not say I like you too, but to make her feel bad about crushing on him.
Today kat broke our friendship and said that we should never be seen together in public again because ppl re callin her name's and it's ruining her, although I don't blame her and stuff because it's all ma fault ND stuff.
When we went for PE (physical education), we had to get into groups of two so we could play Dodge ball, but my friends didn't wanna team up with me so I had to team up with weirdos and it didn't feel ryt coz they're not ma kinda ppl that I hang out wit.
During break my friends left me and said they don't wanna be friends with a betrayer, and they started calling me betrayer since then. I started hanging out with some nerds that kept talking about boring stuff that made me sleep through break and miss half of my History class period, I got into trouble and I now have to attend detention on a Saturday morning 7:30a.m which sucks because other kids will be sleeping in bed while I have to go to school and clean all the bathrooms, including the BOYZ  bathroom, which is a total nightmare!

It took me like half an hour to finish writing my story. When I looked over to Revekka she was finishing up her story, and from where I was, it looked slightly longer than mine. I'm starting to think that something is going on with her and I feel like it's not a good thing judging from the expression on her face, it looked like she wanted to just pour out in tears but her toughness and arrogancy stopped her. I held her arm and said...
Mannette: it's okay Rev if you have to cry, there are no boys here to make you feel weak. Just let them all out, and you'll be fine okay.
Revekka: you don't get it Netty, even though I want to, but I can't! I feel like someone will barge in and see me cry and then think I'm a weakling like those boys and some of the girls from the Western cape in Cape Town! Mannette they changed me, made me a different person over a little incident! You don't get what I feel, they made me feel bad about crying Mannette! You don't get it and you never will, cause you never experienced the pain and embarrassment I felt!
Mannette: I'm sorry Revekka, but that happened 2 years ago, you can't let it haunt you for the rest of your life, it'll steal your happiness Revekka. Your my sister and I love you alot, and I don't want some meaningless kids to hurt you okay?

She nodded and I gave her a hug and she started crying, I hugged her tighter so she doesn't escape from my arms and brushed her hair. She was crying non-stop, I even regretted why I encouraged her to cry, I mean she's being crying for over 15minutes and it's starting to get annoying.😦
Mannette: Revekka, it's okay now. You've been crying for far too long, you going to faint okay. Calm down now.
Revekka: okay Mannette your right. What next.
Mannette: now tear off that paper you wrote on, here's a balloon. Insert the paper, blow the balloon then tie it.

I was very surprised in how she calmed herself down so quickly, it was magical.
Revekka: all done! What now?
She said in a smile
Mannette: now follow me to the window. Repeat after me. This has made me very unhappy, and I know that I won't be able to live my life with a burden on my shoulders pullinging me down. So I will let go of this problem and live my life to the fullest once again with no burdens on my shoulders.
Revekka: This has made me very unhappy, and I know that I won't be able to live my life with a burden on my shoulders pullinging me down. So I will let go of this problem and live life to the fullest once again with no burdens in my shoulders.
Mannette: now let go of the balloon and you will feel much better because you let what bothered you go. And don't over think the balloon thing okay, it's been taken care of.
Revekka: thanks sis, you really are the best.
Mannette: thanks Rev. Now we CEL-E-BRATE that we've let go of what bothered us and now we're looking into what the future has in store for us, sisterrr.

We both giggled then jumped on my bed, opened the tub of ice-cream, cut the cake equally so we don't fight. I bent down and searched for the chips I bought yesterday underneath my bed and took them out, opened it and placed it in between us, then opened my laptop and typed in A Wrinkle in time we sat there watching the movie with our eyes glued on the screen.
When the movie had ended I grabbed everything on the bed placed it on my dressing table then took Revekka's hand and got her up on the bed and we started to jump, we did giggle in between the whole thing but in the end we were happy until we saw mom by the door looking at us. We froze and stood there in silence hoping she won't shout at us.
La-Nette: what kind of kids are you!?
Twins: were sorry mom, we got carried away.
La-Nette: Nonsense man! *Moment of silence* how can you be having a jumping fiesta without me!

We all laughed at what mom had said. We weren't expecting it from her. She turned on my music brought some snacks and drinks and we started partying together. It was LITT! We were a happy family once again
