The Ride Of My Life: Chicago

Chapter 5

When I got home from school, I see that dad's police car is still here, he might have the day off is going in late tonight.

I waved goodbye to Kendra before she left and head inside and the first I do is go to the kitchen and get something to snack on and going to the living to watch TV before doing some homework when I see tall woman who is about 5'5 with long black hair and dark brown eyes staring at me. She sits at the kitchen table and has a smile on her face.

"DAD." I yelled for him and not taking my eyes off of her and I don't know what to do.

"Yeah." he said from his bedroom but then I hear coming down from the hall. When dad around the corner, I took my eyes off her and look at dad. "What is that you need?"

"Who's she?" I said, looking back at the woman.

"Oh, Estelle this is Skye, she my new partner I was assigned to. Skye this my lovely daughter Estelle."

"Hi." I say, pull my hand out to shake hands..

"Hi, it's so nice to meet you, I almost lot about for the past fifteen minutes. I have a daughter who will be starting at your school tomorrow. Her name is Lexi." Skye said, returning to my hand shake.

I look down to my right hand and see the silver ring with the pink diamond in the center. "Thanks. It used to belong to my mother." the ring is a little big, but I still wear it anyway, make me feel like she close to me.

"I'm sure Estelle will be happy to show her around along with her friends and make her feel welcome. Right, Estelle." Dad put his arm around my shoulder and giving a sideways hug looking down at me with his smile plaster on his face. I nodded.

"What case are you working on?" I look at dad to see if he will let me.

"There been a lot street racing going on but most like to make their deal or selling illegal things that they shouldn't have. And I'm going to put a stop to that once we get them." and I know he will even if risking a few hours of sleep to catch these guys and put them behind bars and making sure that his town is safe for people since they don't have to worry even about their town being less safe for their family and friends. All they is for everyone to be safe and not getting hurt or get off on the track and headed to the wrong direction that their family work so hard for them to have a better life and know better whats right or wrong, even I should know that but I lied to him about going to party that I shouldn't have gone to because something could of happened even if the police never show something could happened, but that in the past and I have to stop feeling guilty and just moved on from it.

"Don't wait up for me just order something for dinner, I'll be late getting home tonight. I'll see you later, Estelle.."

"Bye, Estelle. And again, it was nice meeting you." Skye says. I wave to her and she follows my dad out the door. Before he close it waved and give me a smile before leaving finally closing the door and then left the house for work.

The second they left I went back to what I am going to do before Skye stop me from what I was planning to do and that is relaxing for few hours before getting started on my homework. I only have about four work to do so I plenty of time and I always get it done before I got to bed and if not I wake up an extra hours to finish it before getting ready for school and some of my teacher hate it when the work isn't finish on time or close to be done and have take extra few minutes for people to finish and taking up class time and they don't like that most of the time depend on their moods but other than that they be fine with it, they'll take few points off the homework when you turn it in at the end of the day or the next day of school to turn it in.

Around 8:40 I finish my works and had ordered a pizza for dinner and all there left for me to do is get ready for bed. After changing into my pajamas I get a text from dad saying Good night and I text him back saying the same thing before shutting off the light and going to bed.

"And here is the office." I said, stopping outside the school office showing Lexi around the school. Lexi is about 5'2 with dark brown hair and light brown eyes.

"Thanks again for showing me around, you didn't have too, I could of find it on my own." Lexi says looking at the door. All they're left to do is for her to get her class schedule and she be officially be joining our school. She a junior, but soon to be a senior in the next school year and I'll be off to college by then.

I open the open for her, "Shall we get your class schedule?"

"Yeah." she said, entering into the office where we got her to settle into easy before school even began.

The last few days I have been hanging out with Lexi and my friends during school hours but mostly Lexi after school. But tomorrow night I be hanging out with Tyler.

"So are you ready for tomorrow?" Kendra says, taking a seat cross from me. Lexi is sitting next to her while Mack sits next to me and looking at Kendra and me looking all confuse.

"Yeah." I said, picking at my spaghetti.

"So, you might that it's possible be a date then."

I took moment think about it, could it be a date or not and that has been on mind since Tuesday when Kendra mentions that Tyler has asked me out. But I denied and the time that I have been thinking about the more it's felt like it might be a date. So what am I going to wear for tomorrow I don't want to wear something that it might be but then what if it turns out be and I have chosen the wrong outfit for the competent.

"Little." I mumble under breathe where she can still hear me.

"Wait a minute. What are you guys talking about it here?" Mack finally speaks up after trying to figure out what we're talking about.

"Tyler will ask Estelle out on a date tomorrow."

"Wait, who this Tyler guy?" Lexi ask, even more confuse than she was before when Kendra and I were talking.

"He's the most handsomeness of handsome. And Estelle was able to nab him before someone else does."

"I didn't nab him." I say looking at Mack.

"Oh, right, no he had eyes for you whenever since you trip over him." I give her are you kidding me looks before changing the subject because I don't want to think about it and worried what I'm going to wear for tomorrow.

After lunch I went over to my next class is Fine Arts and that is with Mrs.Brown. She is the sweetest old lady that I know since I took her class this year and I hears some nice things about her over the year before I even took this class. But she is retiring this year when school is over and I'm going to miss her when I'm done with school and away.

After a school Kendra stay at mine for a few minutes before she has to get home, even though she knows she grounded, but she wanted to help pick an outfit for tomorrow where it's casual but too casual that seem it might be a date or not but goes perfectly well together.

"Thanks again for helping me out." I said, after finding an outfit to wear tomorrow. We're sitting in the living room and we have the TV on in the background.

"No probs. You know I'll do anything for you, right, E."

"Yeah," I look at her little more second before I have to say that she need to go before she gets even more trouble than she already is. "You should get going before you get even more trouble than you are now."

"Yeah, but I don't to, it feels like I haven't spent too much time with you." she winces little, but getting up and have her arms out like she waiting for a hug. I got off the couch and gave her a hug. "I'll see you later, I'm supposed to work this week I hope to see and if not I see you on Monday and I want to hear the thing when I see you. You got that." she pulls away and pointed a finger at me with a smile on her face. "Okay, I see you later, bye."

"Bye." I gave one last hug before she left the house and going home to her mother.

For once I don't have any homework well, except for one, but I still trying to figure out what I wanna write for my English essay and that is due in two weeks, so I have some time but also running out of time since it's like going by too fast on certain days. So, right as I have the TV on I turn to my phone start looking through all the quotes that I have lived by or inspired for me. And I have at least about 10 or even more than I remember so out of those numbers that I have at least one of them, I will be the I write that has spoken to me the most and that I like most to inspire me or at least a little bit.
