I jumped out of my bed with so much force that I hit my head on the night lamp. I ran downstairs to check what had made that sound and I found a repairman fixing the doorbell.
"Honey you're awake." Ma said arranging some of our kitchen wares in the cupboard. We arrived in California last night. It was a long flight which I slept through.
"I wouldn't have woken up now if it hadn't been for the loud noise I supposedly heard in my sleep." I said opening the fridge to get something to drink. To my outmost surprise it wasn't empty.
" I did some online grocery shopping." Ma said as if she was able to read my mind.I grabbed a small bottle of water and took it in within a few gulps.
"So, what's really happening here...I mean the loud noise."
"The doorbell had a little problem so I had to call in a repairman to fix it."
"Oh...I see...Ok." I said turning towards the staircase.
" That reminds me hun...I'm going to the office today. I've got an important meeting to attend by ten."
" No problem Ma."
I ran up the stairs and into my room. I fell flat on my bed and closed my eyes to get some more sleep.
~~~••••~~~
I woke up with so much energy that I felt like I could jump really high.
"That was nice." I said to myself. I stood up and opened the windows to allow the sun's light and breeze enter freely into my room. I sat on my futon and just stared at the ceiling.
My room was really wide. My bed was in the middle. It was an ornate. Beside it was a drawer which had a dark-blue night lamp on top of it. My futon was near the smaller window. I had another window-a bigger one like a door which led to my balcony. My room was decorated in dark blue wallpapers.
Ma did a pretty good job with the decor. My room here is better than the one in Florida. I was about to go downstairs to meet Ma when I saw a sticky note on my night lamp. I removed it and read it.
"Oh great. What am I going to do." I threw the note in the bin and went into the bathroom to shower. I was done in the next fifteen minutes and I put on a blue tank top and camo short and wore my black slipper. I tied my hair in a messy bun, took my purse and went downstairs. I was feeling a bit hungry so I microwaved a small pack of casserole and ate it within few minutes. I took a bottle of orange juice from the fridge and went out of the house. I called Ma to tell her where I was going. Her phone wasn't reachable so I just left a text telling her that I was going to the mall.
I ordered a taxi and told him my destination.~~~••••~~~
"That would be ten dollars." the women at the cash stand said to me. She looked so miserable, giving of a kind of aura that screamed 'I hate my job' and she didn't bother to hid her irritation in attending to us. She had bags under her eyes and her eyes balls were swollen and sunken in her socket. She was so skinny. I reached into my purse and gave her money and collected my new headsets.
Yeah! Headsets.
That's what I actually went to the mall to get. My old one had a problem so I had to change it. I checked my phone and saw a text from Ma
"I'll be back late dear. Take care."
I was kind of used to Ma coming late. She owns one of the best businesses in the United States-Dallas group of companies. Her empire was massive so to say. She had lots of hotels scattered around in Florida, California and Colorado. Her company was also into textile and interior decor. I really pity her, going through all this stress alone. I remember when Dad was alive. He handled the hotel business and she handled the textile and interior decorations. But now that he's gone she has to do everything alone and here I am always giving her stress.
"No problem Ma. I'll be okay"
I texted back. I went into the nearby grocery store to get a pancake mix. Guess Ma forgot to add those to her list. Funny how I couldn't get them in the Mall. I paid for the mix and called for a taxi to pick me up.
It was ten in the night and Ma wasn't back home. I had tried making pancakes but I almost burnt the house so I just ordered pizza. I didn't want to burn my house like Aunt Juleka. The thought of that made me snicker. I didn't know I was that hungry because when I finished the first box of pizza, my tummy wasn't satisfied so I ate the other one immediately. I was watching a movie in the living room and decided to watch it in my room because I was feeling sleepy and didn't want to fall asleep on the couch. I went upstairs and turned on the TV in my room. Few minutes later, I fell asleep.

Classes were really slow today.To top it all I didn't pay any attention. I was feeling really bad after exploding on Rachael and to make matters worse she was avoiding me all day.When the bell rang, I rushed out of Literature class to catch up with Rachael who had Ap Biology as her last class.I was halfway there when I heard someone call my name."Miss Dallas". I turned around and saw the School's secretary walking up to me. "Can you come with me. The Principal wants to see you for a few minutes".Wait. What! Why would he want to see me?Holy shitzu Kylie what have you doneBut wait I just got here like yesterday. Why would he want to see me now?I adjusted my bag on my shoulder and followed the secretary to the Principal's office. Sarah, the name of the secretary knocked thrice before we got a res

I felt someone pulling my duvet and I was getting really irritated. It was like tug of war. As the person kept on pulling down, I kept on pulling up. I wondered who the person disturbing my peaceful sleep was. It had to be Ma since we were literally the only ones staying here. I couldn't take the constant pulling so I had to give up. I opened my eyes slowing to see Ma looking down on me like I had grown a couple extra heads. "What happened. Do I have drool on my face". I asked using the back of my hand to rub my face. "No. It's just that you look like an Orangutan with your hair all puffy like you've been raised my them or something". Ma said as she picked up my duvet from the floor. "Oh really". I chuckled as I got down from my bed. "Like you don't look w

"Okay Miss Eros-Dallas. Here's your timetable and the key to your locker" the secretary said while giving me a warm smileI nodded my head in approval and left her office. I check the locker number on my key and gave a slight sigh "Locker 350. I wonder where that could be." I said walking down the hallway as I said every locker number I passed. I was still on locker 150 and I was already late for my first class - Ap calculus so I decided to carry the few books I had in my hand and look for the so-called Ap calculus class.After walking for five minutes, I found myself standing in front of a door that had a sign saying 'Ap calculus with Mrs Hillary'. I opened the door slightly and took a peek inside. I had no idea why I did that so I just opened the door fully and stepped right in. When Mrs Hillary heard the door open

New Me Chapter One
I woke up from my bed very tired. My bones were as stiff as whatever I could use to describe it. I could hear the voice of Principal Hillary in my head as he told me that I was not longer wanted in his school anymore.Worst day ever!The brief knock on my door awakened me from my own thoughts and I hurried to open it." Hey Ma" I said opening the door for her to get in."Hey Kylie" my mum said placing a kiss on my forehead. "How was your night"" Apart from Principal Hillary's voice in my head and the looks I got from the whole school last week.... I'll say it was ok" I told her moving towards my bed."Just came in to check if you've packed your things. Our flight leaves at 1 so you'd better be ready" she said focusing her eyes on my wardrobe."I can't believe I'm transferring to another school.... another state" I said looking out my window
