I had stayed over at my dads couple of times during summer and winter breaks so it didn't really take much rime for me to get settled.
I already knew where my room was and everything.
I freshened up after we got home from the airport and was lookin around the house.
" we have sign the application forms by monday and then you can start studying here" my dad said .
He was swinging by my door which was half open .
I smirked and said " okay let me know when you get the forms"
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
It was Saturday morning and my dad went out to get application forms for my school i was laying around the house thinking. Ken had occupied all of my thoughts but i had to cut it out and focus , focus on whats here whats now . I searched for my phone in my backpack i hadn't switched it on after getting off the flight.
I put it on charging and waited for it switch on my notifications started ringing in .
*27 text messages from ken*
*34 missed calls from adrian*
* 60 missed calls from karen*
*super sale at wendys*
*Gmail notifications *
And the list went on
But the only thing which seemed of priority to me were kens text mesages . I thought of replying and was about to open his text box when , " ruthhh sweet come here" my dad called me from the patio , i threw my phone and it felt like relief i had an excuse to not reply now and it felt free . I ran downstairs and my dad gave me my forms he asked me to read it and sign where required and also that he already signed his parts . He told me I didn't have to take the entrance test as my grades were decent enough to get me in . I smiled at him and went back upstairs, while i was stepping on the stairs i stopped and turned on my heels .. " dad .. can i get a new phone and also a new number...." i ask him .embarrassed.
" yeah sure why not is there a reason? Is someone bothering you?" He asks , he seemed more concerned than suspicious.
" no i just wanted to have a new number so their wont be much communicating problems you see... like I already have bad connection here" i answer him , it was lame but my dad agreed on it .
" okay we will go get it this evening then ! Happy?" He smiled . " VERY!" I said ad went upstairs.
I took my old phone switched it off and shoved it in the back of my wardrobe.
" you wont haunt me anymore" I whisper.
