Chapter 6
I woke up three hours later, I stood up and stretched every part of my body, still feeling exhausted I head down stairs to the kitchen and saw that mom was cooking to what seems to be scrambles eggs with tomatoes, spring onions and spinach.
She turned around, turning off the stove and grabs some plates in the washer. She placed the scrambled eggs on the plates and put two slices of toasted bread on each plate before setting it down on the table. She quickly noticed me and spoke.
"You're just in time for dinner, go fetch your dad for me please."
"Sure mom."
I left the kitchen and searched the house only to find him in the garage fixing to what seemed to be a new car.
"Hey dad, mom just wanted me to fetch you for dinner."
"Why don't you go ahead, I'll be there in a minute just let me finish this."
"Okay dad."
I went back to see Melina already sitting down, so I grabbed the chair and sat across her, a few minutes go by Alexei arrived and sat down in the middle after washing his hands.
"Since your turning eighteen in a few months your mom and I decided that you're gonna get a new car."
"Wait, so your saying that, that car you were fixing was mine?" I spoke in shock trying to process what he said.
"Mhm , and you're gonna get your driver's liscence next saturday." Melina spoke.
I blinked my eyelids so many times trying to get their words to sink in, before saying.
"You guys are the best parents I could ever ask for, I love you guys."
"We love you too, now eat up before this gets cold." Melina joked.
Eating dinner was fairly quick, so I helped Melina put the plates in the washer and helped clean the table and the counter.
I headed upstairs and changed in some of my comfortable oversized shirts and some spandex shorts. I sat down with my phone scrolling through my music before playing Don McLean’s 1971 classic "American Pie".
I began singing along finding the peace and calm in me knowing that tomorrow will be the start of a new day in a new school.
And then I remembered Wanda, I remebered her eyes, her smile, I remebered the way she spoke with a thick accent, she had several rings varying in different lengths on her hands, she had a long silver necklace on her neck, she wore a black knee length dress, paired with maroon knee high boots, I can't wait to see her again.
I stopped myself from thinking about this, hearing me saying these makes me sound like a lovesick puppy. If Yelena finds out about this crush I have on Wanda I'll never hear the end of it. I can already hear her teasing me and laughing, so I just ended all these thoughts.
I checked my phone to see that it was already 10pm. I set my phone down, and turned of my lights, leaving my lamp on to have a little light source in case, went to the bathroom to brus my teeth, comb my hair and braided it.
Knowing that if I don't, I might ended waking up having a mouth full of hair, bed hair and probably a hard time trying to comb it through, and I'm not about to risk that.
I made my way back to my bed, and laid down looking at my ceiling, thinking of what tomorrow will bring, will I see her again or not? Maybe not, Will I make friends there and make it through the semester?
I guess, I already have Yelena as a friend. I sighed trying not to overthink these things and just trust what will lay out. So I just closed my eyes finding that peace in and went to sleep.
