We arrived at Warsaw the capital of Poland. It was indeed a large and beauty city and appeared exactly as I read in books. It had many buildings, industries and leisure areas. We were to reside at Nowy Swiat street 100. It had neat pavements, beautiful trees that faced one direction, and all cars moved following one direction. I was pleased, Ireland wasn't as good as this. This first view already made me love the city.
We took an Uber that drove us directly to our doorstep. I didn't even assist Dad and the others with the packing I just darted right into the yard with open hands , swaying around and admiring everything. I moved to the backyard and noticed a couple of things. The lawn was supernaturaly green and the grass on it was of thesame length. There was a nice well too painted pale ash, adjacent to that was a bed of roses.. roses of different colours. I was in awe, "I've found the perfect spot for me" I said within me. Going further, I noticed a belt swing made up of two seats..." Damnn, I said to mysef, I'm sooo loving this place.. " before I could finish saying the last word, praise passed me by with the speed of light n sat on one of the swings. "How tf did she know we had this here?" I asked myself silently . Noticing the expression on my face, she quickly said she was following me from behind n giggled. Realizing that she had read my mind, I chuckled slowly and sat on the other seat. We just stared blankly into thin air enjoying the breeze and feeling of nature. From the look of things praise enjoyed it far more than I did even. It wasn't up to a minute after this and Dad called us. We darted happily to the front yard and realized everything had been packed in already. I fell a lil embarrassed and then chuckled while walking in.
Inside was gracious. Everything was well placed. The paintings matched the sofas and the tv stand matched the luxurious table at the center. The dinning section was all lit up, Bright and welcoming. There was a perfectly designed staircase that led up to our rooms and the rest room. I carefully ascended the staircase and noticed a whole street of rooms at each side. They were directly opposite each other. I was so happy and relieved. Atleast I'll have a room all to myself. Each of these rooms had their rest rooms in it. And the doors just perfectly matched our number. Selena took the first room, Kay took the other directly opposite. I took the second and praise took the other directly opposite. And at the extreme end was a very big and beautiful room. Yeahh that was our parents'. I quicky got into my room trying to get one or two things done and before 5pm, Everything was set. Mom called from down stairs that dinner had been set and we all moved down to dine.
As we ate, I had a number of thoughts running through my mind. "What's it gonna be like, going to a new school, making new friends and stuff? I hope I'm lucky enough to meet people who I can truly call friends... Oh and never the less, I hope to find my prince charming somedayyyy.. anyways I'm 18 already..." I wasn't done with my last thought when I felt a cold breeze over my face. It was praise, she swayed her hand as she said "back to earth Mia". I shook in embarrassment as I realized that everyone had noticed I was daydreaming. Dinner was over and we all darted to our various rooms, except Mom and Dad ofcourse, who stayed back to catch up with a movie.
As I layed heads up on my bed, same thoughts ran through my mind but this time I went far deeper and suddenly fell asleep.
~~
My phone buzzed until it fell off the bed, waking me up. I blindly searched for it with my hand and picked it up. It was 6am already. "Oh God not Soo sooon" I said sluggishly streching my hands" isn't this the summer solstice already? So why have we got a shorter night?" I asked aloud rhetorically. " We in Poland remember? Things are different here" mom said as she passed through the corridor. " oh she heard!" I said as I gasped.
I wouldn't be surprised if the night was long really, because I'm such a sleepyhead and even if I'm given up to 24hours to sleep, it'll probably still not be enough. I hurriedly got prepared and walked down to the living room. Everyone was already prepared. Guess I was the only lazy mf. We had breakfast, hopped into dad's car and he took us to school. We didn't take the straight commercial road because we had to go drop praise off Since she still was in primary. Her school wasn't bad though, it was quite classy as I observed. Praise alighted, and bade us farewell as she wore a wide smile and went towards her block. I wasn't surprised though, praise is this type of a person. She always wanna try new things, new environments plus she's that type to get along with easily... I picked up my phone and glanced through the gram as Dad continued driving.
It wasn't up to 45mins till we arrived our school. I didn't even notice cus I was Soo busy with my phone it was distinct chatter that caught my attention. As I rose my head slowly I was in awe, the environment was undeniably a heaven on earth, I slowly got down from the car still searching around with my eyes. There was a statue of a young epitome of beauty holding things that seemed like books and from her mouth came a fountain that poured right down to the roots of the beautiful flowers that grew beneath her. The statue was at the center of the school. The school had large buildings mostly glassy ones, and a perfect combo of colours - grey and white unlike our former school that looked like colours of the rainbow. I keenly counted the number of floors the building had from bottom to top, it was 6. At the top, there was a nicely carved wood which was inscripted with the school's name "Florence's high". What a nice name, I said in amazement as I gradually moved towards the hall way.. I must say, the hallway was vast. I didn't even know which turn to take. I saw some students taking the right so I just followed, luckily they were heading towards the classroom sections. I searched with my eyes at the top of each door to locate my class and finally I got it "B2".
