The Invitation

An envelope too big for the mailbox was quite hard not to notice. Efra grabs the envelope, checks the addressee then enters the house.

"Hi, mom!" She shouts then head straight for her room. She closes the door, puts the envelope on her dressing table, drops her schoolbag, takes off her school blazer and throws herself on the bed. She sighs, then gets up after a while.

She looks at the envelope then goes to the kitchen. She opens the fridge, sees a soda and pours some in a glass. After a while, her older brother comes into the kitchen from the outside. She greets him and he frowns at her, "Weirdo" then leaves out the front door. She rolls her eyes then finish the soda.

She goes to her room and undresses, showers in the bathroom then puts on pajamas. She goes to her mother's room, knocks on the door then enters. "Hi, mom."

Her mom working on her computer lowers her reading glasses and nods, "Have you eaten?" she smiles, "yip." her mom looks at her pajamas, "exams are around the corner. study well." she goes in and hugs her mom then leaves again, "good night mom" she closes the door before her mom could say it back.

Efra enters her room, takes out her books and start studying. After two hours, she yawns again and again. Rests her head on her arms then remembers the envelope and picks it up.
