My Silent Words

Chapter 2 - Who do you think you are?

I woke up from my sleep with the sun tingling and creeping on my face touching my emerald eyes.

I yawned lazily and rubbed my eyes. I headed towards the bathroom to take a bath.

I decided to wear an oversized shirt and a pair of jeans and royal blue converse.

I went downstairs to meet my mother cooking our breakfast.

Hmmmm. Bacon and eggs.

I sat down at the dining table waiting for my breakfast to be served.

“Good morning, sweety pie” mom greeted with a grin holding the plate with my breakfast and placing it on the table in front of me.

I responded with a nod and a smile.

She sat on the opposite side of me and we ate our breakfast.

She broke the silence as she asked

“So, are you ready to go?”

Ready? For what? I don't remember anything said about going on field trips.

I titled my head giving her a what-do-you-mean look. Unless she is talking about the surprise she told me yesterday.

Oh yeah, the surprise. I totally forgot about that. Silly me

I quickly nod my head in remembering what she said to me for about 13 hours ago.

“Good. Coz we're leaving after breakfast.” she mumbled out

Wait, now? As in now? Immediately? How exciting.

She got up from her place and rushed outside to get the car ready.

As soon as she warmed up the car, she went back inside to get me.

Phone, check
Wallet, check
Camera, check

Everything's in position. I'm good to go.

I rushed to the car so that we can leave as soon as possible. The earlier we can go, the better.

Mom started the engine and off we go to who-knows-where-mom-is-taking-me.

~~•oOo•~

We've been driving for almost 3 hours and still haven't arrived to the place.

But on the plus side, I've taken a lot of pictures thanks to my trusty camera.

After 5 minutes, we finally come to a stop.

I see a 4 story building filled with a lot of people and cars roaming around the venue which is I'm guessing is we stopped by some kind of mall.

We entered the mall hand in hand because who knows that I might be kidnapped by some kind of handsome jerk inside a goddamn mall.

As we strolled inside the gigantic building, something caught my eye which made me stare at it for a minute.

I slightly pulled mom's dress and point towards the store where my precious caught my eye.

“Oh honey, you want a sweater?” she asks.

I just simply nod my head and after a slight moment, we went inside the sweater store.

Pick whatever you like, honey.

I made my choice.

I quickly grab the green sweater and showed it to mom which she placed it on the counter for paying.

“That would be $250 ma'am.” the cashier said.

WHAT??!! $250?? Isn't that overpricing? If I could talk, I would have talked to the manager of this store for overpricing.

“Why so expensive?” she asked the cashier.

“Its because the fabric of this sweater is made from the first class cloth and is on of the most first class sweaters in the city.” the cashier explained.

Oh, that explains why it's expensive.

I think I'm gonna like that sweater. I wish to buy it but I guess it's too expensive for us to-

“well take it”

Wow, so much for expensive sweaters.

On the plus side, I get to have my very own sweater.

We left the store in record time before we went out to buy something to eat.

We went to the food court and bought burger king for the two of us.

After that, we went shopping for groceries at the supermarket which took us about 3 hours until we got out because the groceries are really super hard to find and the goddamn line is so long, I could have slept during the line.

After the very long train line, I got hungry and went to buy ice cream.

I ordered cookies and cream because it's my all time favorite.

I went to find a place where we can sit and eat.

“you ready to go?” mom asks. I just nod my head as an answer of 'yes' obviously.

From the moment I stood up, I accidentally bump into a person and spilled my ice cream on his shirt.

Great job Alexander, you messed up again.

I can see the anger in his eyes by the moment I spilled it on his white shirt.

“WHAT THE FUCK?!” He exclaimed, not paying attention to the people around us.

Did your mother ever taught you to be kind in public?

“Dont you know how much this cost?!” He continued spilling his anger towards us.

Ugh, duhh. Don't you know we can buy that stupid shirt of yours? We could even buy you a closet.

“We're so sorry sir. Umm, we could clean it up for you.” my mom apologized.

I obviously am not sorry for you. You're too rude, for my opinion. A dumbass to be exact.

“Let's go now, Alex” my mom said.

I just followed her to where the exit is.

I took one last glance at the asshole and find that he was also looking at me.

His blue oceanic eyes met contact with my emerald ones.

I look away and focus to where I am walking so that I won't be able to stumble with another person again and cause another accident.

We get into the car without any bumping accidents and shit. And made it safely to our house. And I sat on the living room couch and rested for a moment.

What a day

Mom went into the kitchen to put away all the groceries we bought.

After that, she joined me on the couch and pressed the remote and selected a channel that she like.

I don't usually like TV shows, I just go on Netflix and stuff.

Later on, she just spoke.

“That was some guy. What an asshole”

You could say that again.

“Anyway, we'll be going to check on your new school by tomorrow and you can decide if you like it there or not and we will just look for another school that you like.” she suggests.

I just nod in understanding and smiled at her which she gives me in return.

“You need to go to bed now, we'll be going early by tomorrow.”

I just nod and gave her a kiss on the cheek before leaving for bed.

As soon as I enter my room, I quickly laid on my bed and quickly drift off to sleep.

I wonder what tomorrow will bring.
