"Sophie, get down," Emily, her mother shouted her name from the hall.
Sophie was getting ready for her first day of the college. Though she was already late nevertheless she was behind the schedule. Yesterday night she packed everything important which was only her laptop and undergarments. While packing her undergarments she forgot that she had to get ready in the morning.
"Ah..." Sophie screamed while grabbing her hairs with both hands. She was not ready for her first day that fact was making her mad, her hair looked like for how many days she went without a bath. She was yet to take a bath for which she was standing wrapping a towel on herself. It was an hour before she took her clothes off and got naked. God knows what for she was waiting to get into the bathroom.
Emily came to her room. " oh, my god," She said, with one hand in the air and another hand on her head. She got shocked after seeing Sophie's messed up room.
"Mom, I am getting late,"
"I told you to pack yesterday,"
"I was busy,"
"Busy doing what,"
"I...." Images of yesterday flashes before her eyes.
She slept yesterday in the morning at 4 am, after completing her movie all night. Then she slept till noon. She woke up and got a reminder of was packing her stuff for college but she ignored it. The whole day she spent lay on the bed like a bear who hibernates in the winter.
"I was resting," Sophie said, finally.
"Why you have not taken a bath," Emily ignored and argue with something else.
"I was going to but I have to pack everything,"
"Yes, you have to,"
"Please, mom help me," Sophie made her Oscar-winning cute face.
"Ok, you go take a fast bath," Emily said, again got manipulated by her daughter. "I will pack your clothes only,"
"Thank you, mom" Sophie went into the bathroom.
"I don't know how will she manage in the college," Emily thought.
Emily took a stool and tried to get the suitcase over the closet. She was a bit small for that work but still, she tried. Despite her effort, she was unable to get the suitcase. While was trying to get the suitcase she almost fell on the floor but her husband immediately from nowhere came and caught her.
"Be careful," Tom said. Emily gasped. Tom caught Emily before she was going to smash on the floor. Tom sat with her body in his hands and Emily's head in his palms.
"Thank god," Tom got his concerned wrinkles on his forehead.
"What were you doing?"
"I was getting the suitcase,"
Tom stood up and helped Emily too. He got the suitcase down.
"Where is Sophie," Tom asked.
"She is in the bathroom,"
"Tell her to come fast,"
Tom went down did not seem to help her wife with the packing. Even Emily did not look interested in asking for help. Meanwhile, in the bathroom, Sophie was getting her hair cleaned with her least favorite shampoo which her mom got for her. While was washing her hairs she was daydreaming of her life in college which was soon to become real. All she could think of was sex. She was still a virgin. It was undoubtedly hard to believe for her as well as for her some part-time friends. Almost all her friends had sex in high school. Even Sophie's kiss was accidental. Every time she thought about that she felt embarrassed. While was taking a bath she dreamt of her first kiss.
Flashback.
One summer that happened. She was going to her home straight after the party which for her was prohibited. Abruptly in the middle of the road, she bumped into Joey from her high school. Joey was a transfer student from Hawaii. As he stepped his foot into the school he became the boy whom every girl wanted. Joey had a perfect body with six-pack abs and geometrically tanned to every corner where it needed. He was totally wasted that night.
She held him in her hands. "What happened," She asked. They sat at the corner of the road.
"I love you," Joey said.
"Me,"
"yes,"
"He is drunk, maybe he is talking about someone else," Sophie thought.
"I want to sleep with you," He continued to murmur.
"Sleep," As Sophie heard that word her eyes got big as an owl.
Joey got Sophie unguarded and kissed her, tightly. She got startled and pushed him. She was sweating and feeling an electric current in her whole body. She called her best friend, Laura. With her help, she took Joey to his house. After some time when she went to talk to him after was getting forced by Laura. She got to know that Joey was so drunk that day. He did not even recognize her and kissed her with a picture of someone else in the mind.
Abruptly, Emily barged into the bathroom made Sophie came back from the flashback.
"Are you sleeping?" Emily shouted, again.
"Mom, I am naked," She drew curtains.
"I have seen you naked,"
"That is different, now I am eighteen,"
"Come fast, you have to get dressed too," Emily said and went out.
Door closed.
Sophie closed the water tab. She took the towel previously which she was wrapped in it. She dried herself and then wear her underwear and bra. She came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her hair.
While she was dreaming in the bathroom her mother, Emily did most of the work. She packed her clothes also cleaned the room.
"Get dressed, fast," Emily said, pointing at the dress on the bed which she picked out for Sophie. Emily picked blue denim jeans and a red T-shirt with a denim girl jacket. Sophie did not argue about the dress also she did not have time to brag about that. She hurriedly wore the jeans which took her most of the stamina. She saw into the mirror and was about to cry. Her hair was still messed up. She was getting anxious. She thought she would straighten her hairs but it was too late for that. She dried her hair and let it be like that.
"honey," Emily shouted. "Come upstairs,"
"Coming," Tom came for the suitcase.
"Is this only," Tom asked.
"For now," Sophie said.
She was getting late that is why she took only her clothes. She yet to take her shoe collection which was not that small and her some cute stuff teddy bears. For the last time, she looked into the mirror.
She corrected some of her hair strips, cleaned her nose by cutting some of the hair which could be visible in the bright light. She rubbed her nose and applied some lip balm on the lips. She hated lipsticks.
Doorbell rang. "Ding-Dong"
