I stood there with my wet clothes. The guy on the motorcycle didn't care to stop and say sorry. He drove away on his motorcycle. I wiped off the water that landed on my face with my palm and looked at the direction the motorcycle was heading. I tried wiping off the water on my top with palm when a hand stretched out gave me a handkerchief.
"Here"The person said
"Thanks!"I said, collecting the handkerchief from him
I wiped most of the water from my top and returned back the handkerchief. I raised my head a bit and saw the guy who splashed water on me with his motorcycle. He wore a black leather jacket which had a skull with chains at the back. He removed his helmet and placed it on his motorcycle.
"You jerk! You splashed water all over me!"I yelled
"I'm sorry. I didn't see you"He apologized
"You didn't see me? Are you that blind?"I said
"Look Miss,I only came to apologise but it looks like a waste of time"He said
"Well,I don't need your apology"I replied
"Really now?"He replied
"Yeah. You ruined my clothes!"I said
"They don't look ruined to me"He said
"Well,they are!"I replied rudely
He chuckled and went to his motorcycle. He got on his motorcycle and wore his helmet.
"What so funny?"I asked
"You are!"He replied
He started his ignition and made a U-turn. He purposely splashed more water on me making it worse. He splashed Coco.
"Now, your clothes are ruined!"He said and drove off on his motorcycle
"Argh! Jerk!"I yelled
Passers-by only stared and minded their business. Aunt Nicolette realized I wasn't behind her and looked for me. She retraced her steps and found me in front of the music store, splashed with water.
"Jocelyn, what happened?"Aunt asked
"Some jerk splashed water on me with his motorcycle"I said
"Oh dear! I'm sorry"Aunt said
She stopped a taxi and we got in. I sat next to the door with Coco on my lap with my arms folded in anger. The taxi pulled over at Aunt's building and I got off before Aunt did. Coco shook her off to dry in the lobby. I went into the elevator without waiting for Aunt. I stopped at 6th floor and entered the wrong apartment by accident. I barged into a family reunion. The people stared at me as I quietly closed the door and left. I looked up at the number in front of the door and saw it was 27A. I guess I was on the wrong floor. I went back to the elevator and stopped at the 5th floor. I saw Aunt Nicolette unlocking the door to her apartment. I went in and slammed my bedroom door. I went straight to the bathroom and had a nice shower. I sat in the bathtub for an hour, thinking about what happened earlier.
I wore the bathrobe and dried my hair with a towel. Now that's settled,what am I going to do about my dirty laundry? That jerk had ruined them with water. Aunt's washing machine was already broken.
"Argh! That jerk ruined my day! If I see him again, I'm going to teach a lesson he will never forget"I said to myself
"Now what am I going to do? Aunt's washing machine is broken. How am I going to get this clean? I know! I'll ask Aunt to take me to the nearest laundry mart!"I said
I went to the living room to ask Aunt. I was a few steps to door when I overheard voices in the living room. It looked like Aunt had a visitor. It would be rude if I interrupt their conversation. Maybe later. I returned to my room and wore something comfortable. A nice pair of shorts and a t-shirt. The power went off when I plugged in my hair dryer. Great! I think I've caught some of London's bad luck! Anything I did today turned out bad. Aunt's visitor had already left. I went to her room to ask about the laundry mart and saw she was fast asleep. I guess it was hard being a single parent and taking care of the house at the same time. She must be exhausted from all that stress. I quietly closed the door and went to living room. I sat down on the sofa and turned on my phone. I kept it on airplane mode. I wanted my vacation to be call-free. I played Candy Crush Saga to pass time. I finally made to level 104. I'm not much of a Candy Crusher. Coco jumped on my lap and lied on it. I stroked fur softly and she liked it.
London was a busy place. From the apartment,I could hear cars honking, police sirens, people arguing behind Aunt's building,stray cats crashing into trash bins,dog barks and an ice cream trunk. I looked at the pictures in my phone. There were a lot of pictures of Claudia and I in it. From our first sleepover,the volleyball game, victory scoop and lastly pre-prom pictures. There was one with Kenzie in it. She was actually sleeping in class when I took this picture. Then there were some of Owen,Mom and Dad, Coco's birthday, Chloe and lastly Xavier. He still looked handsome with his charming smile. Looking at his pictures reminded me of prom all over again. I guess he doesn't deserve my love. I pressed the delete button on my phone and deleted his pictures. Now he's finally out of my life and my phone. I was still looking at other pictures in phone when I heard a knock on the door. Aunt wasn't expecting anyone,was she? I carefully placed Coco on the sofa and went to see who was knocking.
"In a minute!"I said, heading towards the door
I unlocked the door and got the shock of my life.
"You again!?"I said, surprised to see who was at the door
