LOGINI 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
Ma walked towards me and put her hands on my shoulder "Kylie, people make mistakes okay. It really isn't the end of the world as long as you correct them."
"I vandalized someone's car, was caught binge drinking and driving and others I don't even want to mention."
"Enough of all these okay. Go in, shower and come to the kitchen for your breakfast." she said wiping the tears off my face. I didn't even realize I was crying.
I gave her a slight nod and went into the bathroom. I knew she'd left cause I heard the door slam.
~~~••••~~~~
"You know what ma, I always love when you cook and not buy outside food. It's very delicious." I said with a mouthful of bacon,eggs and toast.
"You'd better not get used to this" Ma said while washing her plates. "When we get to California I won't have that time. Work's gonna get the best of me you know."
Ma had one of the most booming business in the country. You could say I was lucky and fortunate to have been born in a family with lots of money but it has always gotten to my head and that's why I've decided to change, let go of the rich girl attitude and be different.
" Then I've got to learn how to cook" I said giving her a slight push with my hips.
" You do. I hope you've packed. It's 11:30."
"Almost done packing. So I guess Aunt Juleka is staying here right."
"You've got that right. She needs a place to move in after her house caught fire."
"That story still cranks me up you know. But she's lucky we are moving. She would have been homeless." I said. It wasn't long before I received a hard hit on the head.
"Maaaaaaa!!! What gives." I said laughing hysterically.My mum's really the best. She's like the sister I'd never had.
" That'll teach you to talk about my sister like that" she said.
" Are we packing anything else"
" Nope. We'll shop for the rest when we get there."~~~••••~~~
I was in my room getting my bags ready when I heard my mum's voice from downstairs.
"Ky honey the taxi's here "
"I'm coming ma. Just need to get my bags....." I fell flat on my bed while trying to lift three heavy bags. "Ma I'll need your help. My bags are too heavy."
Not more than a minute, I hear a knock on the door. "Come in." I turned around and saw a middle-aged man standing by the door.
"You mother said I should help you with your bags" he said pointing to my bags.
" No problem." I said giving him room to lift the bags. He was able to lift two bags and I took the third one. "Thank you sir." I said as I used my legs to close the door behind us.
Ma was already waiting for us and from her expression she was really tensed. "We can't waste time any longer" she said as she collected my bag from me.
I got into the taxi with Ma following behind.
The taxi driver closed the trunk gently and got into the car."Are you ready Madam." he said looking at us through the mirror.
"Yes and please drive fast." Ma said.

Buzz! Buzz!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 though 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
