●Different From Home●
Leah
This place was way different from home.
I was now settling in the room that I got I was just looking around thinking, about how I came from a small room with an even smaller bed, now I had a big room with enough space to fit my whole apartment back home in it.
The walls were painted in a soft baby blue color and white a big bed was to the corner right beside a long glass window with blue curtains, in the room there was another room when I walked in it was a closet that had a few clothes and shoes in it, along with spaces I will never be able to fill.
I walked back to the room and the sat on one of the black leather couches that were new and not torn or had any tiny bugs running from it.
There was a dresser and a small vanity section I believe in the right of the room that, the dresser already a lot of things on it I might finish them all in a year, the big white fluffy carpets felt like heaven beneath my feet and I could only imagine what the bed felt like I continued to look around in the room, and I was amazed it had everything a room needed and more I can't even believe that this is real.
After what felt like hours I finally explored the room and was too tired to go to the bathroom that was joined onto the room, I was just thinking about a lot of things right now my mind is so crowded at the moment I don't even know what to do next.
I had so much to say but my mouth won't let me I had so much to do but my feet won't move, I sat down on the couch thinking about my mother and what I'm about to do next I had no future plans, nor any plans at all and I needed to get some.
I tried calling John for the third time since I've landed I wanted him to check on my mother and see how she's doing, I don't even know why I missed her so much, and she's never around but it might be because I know that when I got to sleep tonight I won't wake up and see her hanging from the couch, looking half dead and tired.
I heard my grandmother calling me from down the hall and I answered her asking what she wanted she asked me what I wanted to eat and I told her that anything would be great.
I started unpacking the few pieces of clothing I had and then started looking around the room taking in the beautiful vintage curtain that lined the glass windows I walk over beside the bed and slide the curtains one side taking in the view of the sun that was currently setting it was beautiful I found nature extremely beautiful it could just be a flower lying around and I will fall in love with it nature is truly an artwork.
I was in a daze when I heard the door open and someone entering the room I turn around noticing it was just my grandmother checking on me she told me that dinner was ready and I followed her to the kitchen looking around the rest of the house on the way she said she lived alone and this big house was not needed in my opinion but when people have money they do whatever with it.
I was amazed at the amount of food I saw before me and I couldn't hide my excitement it's not like I'm not used to food but to see so much one place at the same time in buffet style was above me, back home I was never introduced to so much food and if I had a little of the food I had to make it last so if I or my mother ever decided to cook we let it serve for days , we just reheat it.
I washed my hands and took a seat at the end of the table while I was instructed to share my own food I packed my plate so high that I couldn't even see the base of the plate which was white, I started eating as my grandmother started making small talk with me
As we ate she was currently asking me if I wanted to be enrolled in a school, and I was so nervous I haven't been to school in years and in grade school, I didn't make it past the 5th grade, and I was a sore loser who didn't know how to start a conversation nor did I know how to properly write a sentence.
