'Hello'
The voice which happened to belong to a lady answered. I found the voice to be strangely familiar.
'Yes. May I know who is on the line?' I asked
"Hey Mia it's me Vee" the lady replied.
And now I finally know why the voice sounded familiar..
" Vee? Really? Is that you?!!" I screamed out loud. I've missed her so much.
" Uhuh you got that honey it's me. I Know I've been a very bad girl and I'm sorry...I actually got your number from my contact book which I thought I'd lost but I hadn't so I decided to hit you up" she said calmly
She seemed different.... Not loud, not bubbly like before...
"It's okay Vee you're my best friend and I'd never hold anything against you.. sure you did wrong but I also did wrong. I could've called too but I didn't."
I could feel my eyes water a bit as i replied coolly. Happy to hear from my best friend after so long.
"How are your parents?" She asked
"They're fine and yours?" I replied
"Mmm they are fine also always working though so I don't really get to see them" she said with a hint of sadness in her voice.
Vee has always lived by herself right from highschool with her elder brother Chase because their parents rarely have time for them to.
They're rich people unlike my parents. They believe in giving the best to their children but they never realize that the best they will ever give to their children is their love and affection.
Vee herself got used to it back in highschool because her brother helped her do so but I guess she still feels their absence.
"I have to go now Mia but I just called to let you know that I and Chase will be coming to Chicago for college.. Mum and dad have some business deal there and it's gonna last a while that's why. I as a fresher and him as a final year student. We'll be coming to Sander College too. I can recall that you wanted to go to college there"
she rambled out happily.
"Okay that's good news. When will you be coming?" I asked
"Our flight is today by 7pm. See you soon Mia" she said and the Line went dead.
I smiled widely as I walked towards the cashier and paid for the stuff I bought and was about to head out.
"Hello Miss"
A deep voice got my attention as I turned to find out who it was and I was shocked to see that it was the guy that I was shamelessly staring at a while ago while I was being embarrassed by the old lady.
" I'm talking to you, why don't you say something?" The guy said with an edge to his voice this time like something about me was irritating.
I only watched the way his lips moved while he said things I didn't want to hear. He looked like a Greek god with a very classy appearance. He must be rich...wow I....
"Goddamit!! How can someone be so stupid??" I heard him curse and I snapped back to reality.
"Stupid? You're the stupid one here young man. You don't just stop a girl at the mall and say what I don't know to her" I shot right back.
Mental note✓ Never should I judge a guy by his looks. Looks could be deceiving.
" I'm not stupid for trying to brush up your shitty manners miss. You're stupid for always staring like an idiot and not realizing that you're in public"
He said and stormed off.
By now people had gathered and I hated being noticed by people...
They were all mumuring and whispering things, some ladies were giving me disgusting looks.
'she doesn't know her place' I heard someone say
I quickly left the place with my bags and boarded a bus home.
"I'm home mom" I said and quickly ran up to my room.
Good thing mom was in the kitchen. I don't want her to see me like this...
Furious.
I dropped my bags, went to my mirror and I let it all out. I raged and pulled out my hair, i screamed out my lungs. I have anger issues. I'm always like this when I'm angry.
Reason why I rarely get angry. I do not like the outcome.
"Mia? Everything ok in there?"
I heard mom asked with a little fear in her voice.. she knew what was wrong. She knew I was mad about something.
"I'll be down for dinner soon mom.. just let me be" I said as I laid on my bed.
I heard her retreating footsteps and I sighed.
How can one stranger. Scratch that. Hot stranger make me so mad.
'Cos you let him' my subconscious...
"I'm not stupid? Am I?" I asked no one in particular
'Maybe.' stupid subconscious.
"And I don't stare like an idiot. Do I ?" I said again.
For crying out loud I was only admiring him.
I groaned and stood up to get some aspirin from the first aid kit.
I've got a headache and I need to eat something.
I asked my mom to bring my dinner to my room.
I ate my Spaghetti and fish sauce with so much relish.
I opened the soda I got on my way home and downed the whole liquid.
Yawning a little..I decided that I needed to sleep so I changed into my nighties and went to bed.
School starts tomorrow...
'My phone vibrated'
And I picked it to see a message from Vee.
'Heyy our flight just took off. Can't wait to see you!'
I checked the time....10:15pm
She said the flight is by 7pm. Maybe they were delayed.
I smiled as I went back to sleep.
At last something to make me happy.
