Have not proof read it.

“Mom, please? Please, dad? It’s just a week, it’s not even a big deal.” Who was I kidding? We all knew it was a big deal.

“Sera, baby, we can’t let you go. One week is a huge deal, you haven’t gone anywhere even for a day without us and now, all of a sudden you want to go an a seven days trip? We don’t think we can let you go, baby, we are sorry.” My mom said, apologetically and my dad nodded his head in agreement with mom.

Yeah, but I disagree.

“That’s why I want to go, mom because I have never gone nowhere.” Why is it that your parents are always the hardest to convince? Sometimes I think I could even bribe Witchy Sharon into giving us less homework, but when it comes to my parents, I didn’t have the slightest of idea as to how to convince them.

It purely and solely depended on their mood.

“Do you know why we never let you go?”

“Because you guys think Satan would summon me again!” Looking at their surprised faces, I figured out as much that they were not expecting me to say this and also, because they knew I was telling the truth. Their guilty faces said it all.

“Mom, let the past be past, please?”

“We can let you go, but only under one condition.” My face beamed with happiness and I started nodding my head happily, “Whatever it is, I agree.”

“You will have to call us atleast twice a day.” Her voice cracked at the end and all of a sudden I didn’t feel like going at all. Was the trip really worth mom’s tears?

Definitely no, but if I wanted to set some things straight and know a little more about me, I had to go to camping, it was the only way out for me and I also knew mom was just being overly emotional right now, she would be the first one to ask me all the tea as soon as I’d be back.

“I will call you every two hours, if that makes you both feel any better.”

“Perfect!” My dad exclaimed happily and flared his arms for a hug, to which I obliged happily. There was nothing better than dad's warm and cosy tight hugs.

“Our little Sera is not so little anymore.” My mom whispered, sheding a tear and I almost rolled my eyes at how dramatic she was being, not that I hated her affection and love towards me, but she has been ending all my requests with that same very line lately.

A few days back, I asked her to grab some pancakes batter for me and she replied with how I was growing too fast, last week I helped her tie a bun as her hands were all dirty because of something she was cooking and her hair were disturbing her and she went all teary eyed because apparantly, I was soon going to get married and forget all about her.

She was so wrong, how could I ever forget the world’s best mom?

And also, there was still a long way to go for marriage, I was just seventeen for goodness sake and who would marry an abnormal girl anyways?

Keeping all the random thoughts aside, I gave my parents a huge smile before bidding them goodbye and started walking towards the bus stop for school. Luckily, I was just on time today, so there were no chances of any mishaps to be occured and to be more specific— letting everyone know about my magic and have them walk six feet away from me, definitely not a good picture.

Twelve minutes and three songs of Enrique later, I was standing outside of my school with a huge scowl plastered on my face. No, not because I hate coming to school, that was the second reason, the first being some boy thinking that it would be funny to rile me all up by sticking a chewing gum in my hair. The chewing gum did not come off and I had to cut three to four inches of my hair, if it wouldn't be for my magical abilities to heal the nature, I would be super pissed, not that I wasn’t right now.
