KIMBERLY ANDERSON'S POV.
After dinner, mom drove us back home. On the way I had scattered thoughts lingering everywhere. Tried not to think of many things..
We finally arrived the house, after opening the door, I went to the kitchen and poured myself a glass of water and gulped it down.
"Are you sure you are okay?"
"Yes mummy. I am fine."
"Okay.. if you say so. I am going to my room now, I've got a lot of things to do okay?"
"Alright. Good night." I kissed her on her cheek and gave her a side hug.
"I love you baby."she whispered, her voice filled with warmth and affection. In return I replied
" to the moon and back mama." a phrase we often used to express the depth of our love for each other. A small smile graced her lips as she retreated to her room, leaving me alone in the quiet house.
I contemplated watching a movie at the sitting room,but decided against it. I've got school tomorrow.
I ascended the stairs two at a time desperate to get into the shower.
The sound of running water filled the bathroom as I turned on the shower, the steam enveloping me in a comforting embrace. As the warm droplets cascaded over my body, I couldn't help but feel a sense of release, as if the water was washing away not only the physical grime but also the mental clutter that had plagued me throughout the day.

After I had a shower, I put on my sleeping wear and laid on my bed scrolling through IG and watching reels, I received a notification that YourfavoriteCarolina sent you a follow request. I clicked on the name and discovered that it is Cary from school so I accepted the request.
Just immediately she sent me a message.
YourfavoriteCarolina: Hi Kimberly, how are you doing?
Kimbeee: I am okay Cary how are you?
YourfavoriteCarolina: I'm good. So I am not going to be in school tomorrow so I wanted to give you a heads up about that.
Kimbeee: oh. Hope you are doing okay. You ill or sumthin?
YourfavoriteCarolina: haha no My brother and I are traveling for ... .like a ceremony thing we do every month.
Kimbeee: Everymonth?
YourfavoriteCarolina: Yes every month. It's a family tradition.
Kimbeee: I love the idea of having a family that gets away every month….
YourfavoriteCarolina: it's fun trust me.. but at first it come with a shitload of pain and stress
Kimbeee: the only pain I can imagine you having is motion sickness, apart from that you are chill girl!
YourfavoriteCarolina: the motion sickness sure kicks in after the flight. Okay gotta go take care of yourself tomorrow. And yeah school would mostly be empty tomorrow. Don't forget to shut your doors and windows properly too! Byeeee
Kimbeee: alrighttt see you when you get back. Ofc they are always shut. Good night.
After texting Cary, I made sure all the doors and windows were shot properly. Who knows a town more than the occupants?
