Back Home?

"It's a promise ok?" said the little boy

"promise!" I replied happily sticking out my pinky finger.

He was about to do the same when-

kringgg!!!!! kringgggg!!!!

I woke up from the sound of my alarm It's now 4:50am.

A dream?

what was is about?

I can't seem to remember, But more importantly "Arggghhh!!! my sister must have altered my alarm clock yesterday, must be one of her heist to mess with me" I muttered to myself.

I tried to go back to sleep but my eyes wouldn't seem to close, maybe because of that wierd dream I had earlier. That I can't seem to remember.

And because I don't think I can fall asleep anytime soon. I kept myself busy by scrolling on Facebook for a couple of hours, Just waiting for the sun to rise. As I was scrolling I stumbled upon a music video by some guy named "MYSTERY" which I considered as a corny name.

He had an unreasonable amount of views so I curiously clicked one of his latest post.

I think he was singing "prettiest friend" by I dont remember the original artist, He had a nice voice that you'd feel calm listening to true to his name he was really a mystery. He had his face covered with a black mask along with a cap that can basically cover his whole face.

As I was so indulge by listening to the music.

I just soon realised that it was already 6:10am.

My class starts at 7am so there's still a lot of time to prepare.

I got up and started heading to the bathroom, brushed my teeth and took a bath. as I got out of the bathroom I stared at my uniform hanging on my cabinet, With a maroon skirt, a blouse that has maroon stripes in the neckline paired with a necktie that has a logo of my new school.

"I still cant believe im going to be a senior highschool student this year, time sure flies by so fast huh?" I quickly wore my uniform and did a few finishing touches, as I was looking at my vanity I heard two consecutive knocks on my door.

"Miss breakfast is ready, the Madam and Miss Loraine are already at the dining area" Said one of our maid from the otherside of the room.

"Yeah I'll be out in a bit" I answered casually

After I was satisfied with how I looked, I carefully strode down the stairs.

After reaching the Kitchen I was greeted by my mother "Good morning Athea how was your sleep last night?"

"I had a nice sleep thanks for asking MA" I replied in a lazingly tone.

"Did you like my surpries for you?" My monsterous of a sister asked.

"Well thanks to you, I need to buy a new alarm clock" I sarcastically replied.

my sister just smirked at me then continued eating.

"So today is your first day at school right? why dont you let your sister give you a tour around school?" Mom said while her gaze directed at me.

"it's ok mom, I've been fine by myself in London before, I don't see why I can't do the same here" I replied.

I didn't actually growup with my mom, maybe that's the reason why I unconsciously turn down her advansis to get close to me. Thinking back it had always been Me and Dad for 15 years.

"-as I was saying-" my mom pulled me out of my deep thought.

"Athea I know you've been in your fathers care for so long but I hope starting today you would open up to us. can you?"with that my mom said as if she had read my mind.

I know that she longed the presence of her other daughter. Who could blame her? not seeing me for 15 years.Though she did try to connect with me despite her being absent physically. She would always greet me on my birthdays and some special occasions such as school inductions and other schools achievements. But despite her efforts I couldn't see myself completely warming up to her. Maybe that's the reason why me and my sister has some bad blood. She gets to experience the warmth of a mother's hug while I don't.

"I'll try" I replied shortly.

Mom smiled as she holds my hand, I could see my sister as she rolled her eyes.

What's her problem?

Our meal continued on as my Mom and Sister talks about random stuff mostly concerning me Sister, They were only interrupted when- "Madam the car is ready now" our driver said.

"Ohh my! its already 7am. Time sure flies by so fast when you're having fun. you guys better get going"Mom said as she kissed Loraine and me on our chicks, Which I was still not used to by the way.
