I think that's enough so let's move on, shall we?

So today was a friday, last day of school and since graduation was yesterday, I didn't see a need to go today. I woke up by 9am (typical). After a decent bath, I spent the next two hours deciding to what to wear; The red and black jumpsuit with Adidas sneakers or a red oversize knee-length hoodie and black leggings with Nike trainers. Today was a normal Friday and since I didn't wake up with high spirits today (I was in a bad mood when my head hit the bathroom door), I went for the hoodie style.

12:00. Rikki and Nasha arrived. Thank goodness they weren't overly dressed but nasha still always liked to spice everything up a bit. She's too extravagant! rikki was just plain. We talked and played and pressed our phones till 1:00, when dad called. Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah, we talked for a few minutes,Jason also talked to dad, tried to catch up with latest news here and there.

Then finally dad heroically announced 'We're travelling, all of us, including me and the Jacksons and the Jones family. We're all travelling to London'. I was so happy I literally cried. I wouldn't have really agreed on a normal day but my dad was gonna be there and my only two best friends were also coming with us, with their own families! We normally have this international passport and document travelling stuff ready with us always cuz we've gone to London before ( actually to visit my 24yr old aunt who's a rich model. The other aunt, well let's not talk about her)

By 4:00, we were ready. And by we, I meant all three families. Since it was just a travelling-for-the-holidays kinda journey, we didn't really pack much stuff.

That isn't the exciting part. What's exciting is: I saw dad!

By 4:00, dad arrived. This is a big deal. He was literally gone for three years. Sometimes, I wondered if dad already had a 2 years old daughter and a new wife over there already. I tried to stay cool but literally ended up crying the most (tears of joy). I'm sure you think I say the word 'literally' too much. Okay, I'll literally(oops) do my best to stop. Starting now. After much crying and greetings and arranging, We all decided to start our journey now. I don't even wanna talk about that journey.

First means of transportation, a plane. Mom said she didn't know about all this before but that's obviously a lie. Why else would she book a flight to London for all of us and ask us to arrange our clothes cuz things can happen? I have a little thing for heights so I wasn't particularly keen about the flying stuff. I love seeing new places but the journey to get there is always like hell! If I've stayed in a car for more than 40 minutes, I'll start to feel nauseous, irritated, sickly, and tired. Also, I'm claustrophobic.

I slept throughout the whole trip, except the part whereby we had to switch planes again. After those two long experiences, we finally lost all relationship with planes.

By 8:00, we were driving to my super young aunt's house. Don't ask but my mom, Riha's mom and Nasha's mom have a weird way of charming people to give them things. Though, today it wasn't so easy. But, still got it. Three borrowed cars to go.We stopped at a little shop to buy stuff like burgers, drinks, fries and biscuits of all sorts. Though mom still insisted on hot tea. I mean, like seriously why do you have to spoil a rare, smooth dinner with hot tea.

The journey went on smoothly but when we got to Aunt Bianca's house, things went....

Note: Rikki has a little sister and brother named Riana and Ryan (twins, of course)

and Natasha has a little sister and an older sister named Natalie and Nikki respectively. All older siblings are in the university so they're not on the trip with us. All little much younger siblings have to come along sadly.
