The vehicle came to an abrupt stop after 15 minute of silent driving. I gathered my bag and jacket and exited the car.
"Thanks for the ride Ramon" I said while walking to the front door.
"Anytime ms Alex" he said. I turned and gave him a look that said, I'll fry your head and give it to you to eat.
"Sorry I mean Alex" he corrected. I smiled "that's more like it".
I opened the front door and went inside the house. I dropped my bag on a couch and I started removing my shoes.
A strong smell of fresh baked goods wafted around my nose and I smiled, knowing where the smell is coming from, I stood up and made my way to the kitchen.
On getting there I saw some cookies sitting in a tray on the counter. "Hey there Mrs Wang" I said to the old woman standing in front of the oven, and quickly plopped a cookie into my mouth.
"Hey there my little Lexi, and I saw that" she said and I smiled and hugged her from behind.
Mrs Wang had been my nanny and house cook since I was four. From the moment I set my little eyes on her brown hair and honey like eyes with a warm smile on her face, I liked her. Over the years she's turned into my second mother. She was always with me when both my parents where away on countless business trips. She was always showing me love and great care. While I was homeschooled, the time I got to speak with her always gave me a sense of living. I can't even start explaining how much I love and appreciated this woman.
"You didn't have to make all these for me you know" I said referring to the cookies.
"You know I'll make this and many more for you Lexi"she paused and continued "and also this is your first day of high school and also your senior year, so we have to have some celebration of such" she finished
I smiled widely "thanks Mrs Wang" I said and plopped another cookie into my mouth.
"I saw that chicka" she said, I laughed. "Common now tell me about your first day, anything interesting happened?" She asked.
I took another cookie and started telling her everything. From the moment I stepped into the school, to how people where looking at me, to how I had to introduce myself in every class and to how i met Madeline and everything that went down. I told her everything and she listened silently till I finished.
"Wow that was quite a day you had" she commented. "Yeah I know right" I added.
"Well about that Madeline girl, I don't think you should worry too much about her or those other girls. She's just bitter cause of what you said to her at lunch break." She said
"I know and I'm not really worried about her. It just bugs me that all those girls where staring at me and saying things". I said taking a bite of another cookie
"Don't let it get to you, they just wanted to intimidate you" Mrs wang said.
"Now now, any fine boys in your new school? " Mrs Wang asked wiggling her eye brows.
"No there was not, there were only boys with big moles on there face and breath that could kill everyone in Asia." I said with a serious face trying to suppress the laugh in me.
"Really?" She exclaimed. I nodded still trying to hold the laughter that was bubbling inside me.
"Then that's bad chicka, cause cute guys are what makes high school fun" she said with a look of fright on her face. I couldn't hold the laugh any longer, I fell on the floor and started laughing loudly.
"Ha-ha, jokes on you" she said. I wanted to say something but then a stern voice interrupted.
"That's enough for today" the voice came from the doorway, I looked up and saw my mother. Immediately my mood dampen. I took some cookies and poured myself a glass of milk and then I started walking out of the kitchen.
"Stop right there young lady. " my mother said. I turned and faced her. "Aren't you going to say anything to me? " she asked
"Welcome home" I said and started walking. "That's all?" She questioned
"Well today in school..." She cut me before I could even start.
"You know what, let's finish this after dinner. I'm just coming back from work and I'm really tired" she said.
'That's what I thought' I said under my breath.
If she heard anything, she didn't say. So I just took my bag from the couch with my cookies and milk still in hand, I took the stairs and went to my room.
"Don't forget dinner is at 7" my mother yelled after me, I just slammed the door of my room.
Feeling too tired, I went into the bathroom, removed my clothes and had a bath. After bathing I did the little assignment that was given to me, while munching on the cookies and milk.
When I was done, I put on my pj's and slept on the queen sized bed in my room. I switched off the light and before I slept a thought lingered In my mind and I knew it was the truth.
'I knew it would always be WORK first before ME. '
But I was happy that I at least had Mrs Wang and Ramon by my side so I wasn't completely lonely.
So I slept with a smile on my face, hoping for a good day tomorrow.
