A Slow Saturday Night:
I knocked about three times before the door opened. Renee was standing in front of me, arms crossed and eyes wide. Holding my note, this was not going to be good.
“Hey Bella” She had an annoyed tone to her voice.
“Hey Mum” I smiled.
“You could have just asked me bạn know, I don’t think I’m an unreasonable parent. I let bạn do a lot of things my mother wouldn’t have let me do. I tình yêu bạn Bella honey, but I don’t appreciate last một phút notes” Her tone was getting slightly back to normal.
“I’m really, really, really sorry mum, I feel asleep on the đi văng and then when I woke up it was half an giờ before Gem was coming and I didn’t want to wake you, I’m sorry” I was honestly sorry so I kept trying to get it across.
“Okay, apology accepted, just ask tiếp theo time okay, no excuses?” She moved out of the door way, I stepped inside.
“Yes I promise” I replied.
“You’re lucky I trust bạn Bella” She half smiled.
“Yes I am” I replied.
I walked up to my room and put my handbag on my bed. As I put it down my cell phone fell out. The screen lit up and read one new message. I opened it, it đã đưa ý kiến ‘Bells thnx 4 2day I’m gonna ring him =)’ from Gem’s Mobile. I didn’t know what to reply, but I wrote ‘No probs Gem, ok, I sed its up 2 u! Have fun XX’ what else could I write? I really didn’t care about this Cam, that Gemma oh so swooned over.
I walked into the bathroom and washed my face, the warm water felt so good. I looked in the mirror I had small grey bags under my eyes. I dried my face, and walked down the stairs. I looked at the time, it was 3:15 pm.
“Have bạn had lunch?” Mum asked me.
“Yeah, I had some at the thực phẩm court” I replied.
“Okay, is mỳ ống, mì ống okay for dinner?” she questioned.
“Yep, sounds good” I answered.
I walked back up to my room and opened my school bag, I had some maths homework, but that was all. I pulled the maths sách out and put them on my bed. I checked my phone, new message from Gemma. ‘Thnx yer I’m not doin it 2nite though XX’. I didn’t really think that needed a reply so I just left it.
I started doing some trigonometry, but I got a headache so I stopped soon after starting. I went through my handbag and found the extra pain killers that I shoved in there that morning. I walked slowly back down the stairs and into the kitchen. I poured myself a glass of water and swallowed the tablets with it. Renee walked in.
“Have bạn got a headache?” She asked.
I nodded my head, still finishing the water.
“You okay? bạn look tired” She noticed.
“Nah I’ll be right” I smiled.
“Okay, well Phil’s coming trang chủ tomorrow morning so it’s just us tonight” Renee said.
“Okay” I wasn’t in a very talkative mood.
I stumbled into the lounge room and sat on the couch. I looked at the TV for a couple of minutes, nothing good was ever on Saturday afternoons. I lay down and put my hands over my head. I slowly drifted off to sleep. I didn’t dream.
When I woke mum was serving pasta, the aroma drifted into the lounge room. I got up, my head felt a lot better. I walked into the phòng bếp, nhà bếp and sat on a ghế đẩu, phân bởi the bench. Renee sprinkled some cheese onto the mỳ ống, mì ống and placed it in front of me.
“Eat up, sleepy head” She laughed.
“Thanks” I stuck my fork into the pasta, twisted it and brought it to my mouth. I chewed it carefully, spreading the cà chua sauce into my cheeks. I swallowed and stabbed some more.
“Mmm bạn know if bạn keep falling asleep at 3:30 in the afternoon bạn won’t be able to sleep at night” Renee đã đưa ý kiến still half chewing.
“Yeah I know” I agreed. I didn’t know why I was exhausted. I just was.
I finished my bữa tối, bữa ăn tối pretty quickly and decided to try some trigonometry again. I sat there for a while, I finished about two exercises before my brain started to hurt again. I looked at the time, 7:20 pm. Ah I’ve got time for trig tomorrow, I walked into the bathroom and tried to have a wake up shower. It only half worked, I was still a bit tired.
I lay down on my bed. I stared straight at the ceiling for a while, I thought about pointless things until I got comfortable. I rolled over and fell asleep, again.
