Decision

He took his phone out of his pocket. Hastily he placed it on the tea table. I moved forward to take it. And the worst thing happened. There was the spoiled coffee on the floor,and the broken pieces of the cup. I stumbled there and fell. It was pretty painful.

                       I suddenly realized that if I don't get up fast he'll try to help me. So I got up in haste. I took the phone and dialed Mrs. Lewis's number.

"Hello,Mrs. Lewis speaking." A smooth,heavy voice spoke. "Um.. Hi,I'm 33/05 Central Home's resident. I need your help." I said rapidly. The voice answered, "Okay,don't worry I'll be there in 10 minutes." She hung up the phone. I turned to that boy who's name was Eric Black which I saw in the permit.

               I said, "Here's your phone,thanks,she's coming." He moved his eyes to somewhere else and commanded me," Change your dress." I looked at myself. My thighs were brown because of the coffee. I ran to my room. I heard the door bell's ringing so,hurried. I wore the black pajama and a tshirt. When I came outside I saw that Eric cleaned the dirt. I said, "Hi Mrs. Lewis."

              She smiled and told, "I know why there is misunderstanding. Actually the thing is, Anna you're supposed to stay with a girl named Alison. But unfortunately she died in a car accident." She moved her eyes from me and looked at Eric. She continued, "Eric, you're supposed to stay with a boy who's parents tried to shift him here. But he is so stubborn so he declined the proposal. His father took the money back. So, I can't help with that. I'm sorry dear." She took rest for a while. "You have to talk with your parents or you have to stay here." She finished. Eric spoke, "I'm not leaving this place. If she wants she can." "Okay then,thank you Mrs. Lewis. I'll think about it." I said. She stood up and went outside.

Eric went after her to close the door. I started talking, "Now, I don't have charge on my phone. So I'm staying here today for sure. After getting back my phone's charge I'll talk with my parents." He said, "You cleaned the hole house." I stared at him. "So I'm forgiving you for that knife moment." I felt a huge relief.

                   I never feel that implicated without seeing someone not forgiving me. I took a sight of my wristwatch and it was almost school time. So I went to my room to change my clothes.

I went to take a fast shower. The bathtub was still dirty. Unwillingly I cleaned the toilet first.

When I entered my room,I pluged the charger in my phone. I started dressing up. While combing my hair,I switched on the phone and called momma.

"Hello,honey" she said. "Momma,everything went wrong here. I need to discuss with you." Beep beep,a sound hitted my ears. "Momma..momma I need to talk." I hurried. "Sorry,honey. I have a meeting to join. Please call me later." She hung up. Now my only way was dad. I called him again and again. No answer came.

So the decision I made was, "It's fine I'm staying with a boy. Well he's not gonna hurt me anyway. So I have to adjust. Why should I sacrifice with my dream. It'll be fine one day." I motivated myself.

I left the phone for charge and started to bind my hair. My hair is medium sized,wavy so I did two side long pony. In all of my schools I have always done two side buns. But for my new,settled school I tried something new. When I came out of my room I saw Eric was standing beside the door.

"Hey,I didn't tell you to wait for me." My stomach crunched for feeling guilty. He moved his head from the floor and looked at me. "I wasn't waiting for you. How can I leave the house on your own?" It was strange.

                     I left the matter. "Okay then let's go. I can't leave the house with you alone." I said. He moved his eyes round in disgust. I tied my shoelaces and opened the door. I was waiting for him to come. I remembered something and asked, "How did you know I cleaned the whole house?"

"Mrs. Lewis told me. By the way I'm not that stupid." He commented. I started to walk to the lift.

He locked the door and came close to me. I asked him, "Are you waiting for the lift too?" He nodded. I jumped a few steps then ran to the stairs. My heart was beating like a bomb expecting us in a lift,together.

When I came downstairs,he was standing there. He was actually bothering me. I asked, "What is your problem boy?" He showed me his disgust and told, "What,you think I'm that kind of boy who leaves a girl alone?" It surprised me.

"Okay,let's go together." I headed toward. I thought if he's really trying to save me then let him do it. I looked at myself when we reached the glass door. I arranged my hair. I felt like I was looking cute.

I started walking. All the way he was right behind me,watching his phone. I said, "Don't you know looking at your phone on the freeway is bad,it could be a great danger." He looked forward and said, "We have reached school." He put his phone in his pocket. I stopped at the entrance.

"I've been imagining this place for my whole life. What if it's not that what I was dreaming?" I muttered. He asked,"Any problem?" I said, "No,no it's fine." And I entered my first,settled school. I was feeling joyful. "Excuse me,where can I get a map?" I asked to a student. She showed me a way. I went there and grabbed one. I showed him, "Um.. Eric we're at the entrance. I'm fifteen so I'm going this way. Which one is your path?" He answered, "My class is this way. Bye bye" I stared at the map and saw his way was the exact opposite way from mine. He must be seventeen.
