I woke up to a phone call from Krypton.I picked the phone up and answered it.My day gets to start well after all.I get to hear Krypton's wonderful voice in the morning....One of my plenty wishes...
But soon I realised that hearing his voice wasn't for a good cause...
I was late for work!!!"Hey" Krypton said....
"Good morning" I sang,trying to get my voice in the best shape possible.
"Right.I actually called to know why you aren't at work yet"he said still so calmly.For some reason,I couldn't process what he said.
"Sorry...you said what?" I answered.
Then it sank in.
Work!
Work!
Work!!!"I'm late" my subconscious squealed as adrenaline began to take its effect.
"I'm so so sorry Krypton!!" I cooed.
"I'll be with you in fifteen!" I said as I cut the call.Seeing that my house is not so far from work taking the bus,I could actually make it in fifteen minutes if I rushed.
I jumped out of bed and rushed to the bathroom.
I brushed my teeth and quickly ran the shower.
I didn't wash my hair because if I did I'd probably spend all the time in the world drying it.I scurried out almost immediately. 3 mins did the magic
I picked out a yellow long sleeved zip-up top with my signature short and skinny skirt with my black stilettos.
Those stilettos do a very good job at increasing my height and that's one reason I can't part with them.
Dress to impress!!
Key code!!I brushed my hair...put on my lip gloss and mascara.
That's pretty much all the make up I do!I smiled at myself in the mirror and then it struck me....time was not on my side. So I rushed downstairs to get breakfast.
I wish mum didn't have to go on that trip with Lily and Dad.For Pete's sake!! She would have made me breakfast already.
They left for Minnesota the day before and won't be back until after winter!!
A whole winter to myself..
Sadly....I made myself a quick breakfast of peanut butter and jelly sandwich and a cup of coffee.I gulped down the hot coffee and instantly regretted my decision. I burned my tongue!
I packed my sandwich into my ziploc and rushed out.
That simple action reminded me of middle school...
Oh,how I missed those days.
I miss not having a care in the world.I locked the front door remembering to shift the extra key behind the flower pot peradventure they came home before the scheduled time.
I chucked whilst I remembered how mum kept on humming that to me.
I hurried towards the bus station and luckily for me,the bus line wasn't as long as usual.
Perhaps,the rush hour had ended while I was still in bed.I got seated and started to munch on my sandwich.Then I noticed this cute little boy staring at me whilst I ate.
I smiled and gave the other sandwich I had left to him in which he was happy to collect.
He was about collecting it when I noticed his mom.She started scolding him almost immediately and started to talk about how she had warned him to stop receiving things from strangers.
But instead I smiled at her and told her sweetly that it was okay and that he was still a little boy.
I guess I managed to convince her.
She let the little boy have the sandwich and was quick to tell me thanks."This is the last time I'm allowing this,Jake" she said to the little boy who smiled showing off his toothless front.
That name Jake,reminded me of high school and my best friends.
Aura,Amelia and Jake.
I really miss them a lot.I miss our pranks,fights and Truth or Dares.
I remember the last truth or dare we did before I had to leave Ilinois.....
Then,I used to have a big,giant,extra massive crush on Landon Anderson,the school's biggest badboy.
Only his sight almost made me pee in my panties.Then Jake dared me to slap me....
I begged and begged for him to change my dare but he didn't.
I even promised him a lifetime supply of sour patch kids but he refused.That Jake was just too hell bent on getting me in Landon's bad books..
So the time came...,.and I had to pretend as tho he bumped into me and knowing he wouldn't apologise "typical badboy attitude" I would then use that as an excuse to slap him.
The moment my tiny hand hit his face...It dawned on me that I had made the biggest mistake of my life which I knew I was going to regret....I ran off like the coward I was.
Maybe or maybe not I destroyed his ego.
I couldn't think of that.
All I could think of was how to save myself from the mess I had gotten myself into.
I prayed so hard for a way to get out of the mess my so called best friend got me into...Believe me,I did....because I knew the consequences of doing that....Then,a way came through for me to get out of that mess.
But that was the worst way to get out of that mess.
Even up till now,it still haunts me.That single occurrence caused my parents to divorce each other and I had to leave my friends.
Not so fun experience!!We moved to California and there I met Charlotte.
Charlotte was the only person who really understood me and she helped me through the years.Note to people:- Get a friend like C.
The bus arrived at the next stop and I got down and walked straight to the office.I clocked in at the administrative desk as quickly as I could and headed straight for the elevator.I got out and soon as it stopped and walked straight to my office. The door was slightly ajar and I peeped through and saw Krypton leaning on my desk,with his smartphone pressed to his ear as I walked in.
