Life
Foods, drinks on the table, and a group of kids screaming, pushing each other, some of them are even jumping, wearing a party hat, “Andie, come here!”, her mom shouted, Andie was hopping towards her mother, and she chuckles.“What is it?”, she smiles,   “You will see”, her mother picks up a huge wrapped box almost the size of Andie. Andie gasps as soon as she saw it, she rushes and tears the wrapper apart one by one. But it is taking her so long to completely remove it, so her mother helps her and opens the boxes, and picks up what is inside, Andie places her two hands over her mouth and wheezes, then she quickly runs to it, “Thank you, mommy!”, she hugs her mother, “I know how badly you want it, come on try it!”.  She assists Andie to sit on her bike and puts a pink helmet on her. Andie places her feet on the pedal and starts moving it. She biked her way outside their house, and through the empty streets, grinning from ear to ear, while looking around as she passes by houses and trees around their neighborhood, when suddenly she bumped on something making her tumble to the ground, Andie groans and holds her knee on the left. She saw blood was coming out from it and she starts to feel prickly pain on it, so tears start to flow on her cheeks. The pain was unbearable for her age, even though it is only a tiny bleeding bruise.  She sits down there sniffing and peeking at her wound, but it only made her cry louder afterwards,  but then Andie hears someone also moans,  “ugh!” “You hit me!”, the boy shouted while crying He stands up wipes his tears and picks up all the trash scattered around him as the garbage bag was hugely pierced at the middle. Andie wipes her tears too, and gets up, “I am so sorry, let me help you”, she also grabs the bottles and the plastics on the ground. After picking up all the trash to at least compensate for her recklessness, she saw him limping as he walks away. “Hey!”, she shouted at him “I could give you a ride” “Ok”, the boy turns his face to her.  Andie puts his arms around her shoulder to help him get on the back seat of the bike, bringing him as well back to her house.  When they reached the place, she parks the bike outside,  “Where are we?”, the boy asked, “at my house, let’s get your wound cleaned”, she then gives her a hand, to help him walk.  Her mom was sitting watching the children play, when she hears the backyard door creaking, “Oh, What happened to you?”, she immediately approached Andie,  “Can you help him, mom?”, she asked her,  “Of course honey”, her mother carries the boy and makes him sit on the couch, in their living room, the boy was in tears again, as Andie’s mother checks his ankle,  “I think you have a sprain, I am just going to get some ice”, she rushes to their kitchen. Andie sits beside him, “You look familiar to me”,  “What do you mean?”,  “hmm” she raised her left eyebrow and gets a close look at him.  The boy avoids her stare and looks away,  “Wait you are the silent boy sitting at the back, Josh..Joshua Hawkins, I didn’t recognize you”, she uttered, “Wait are you Andrea Anderson?”, he wondered,  “Yes, the class has just started so, I haven’t memorized your names yet”,  Out of nowhere Josh suddenly noticed that she herself has wounds looks, “What about your wound, aren’t you gonna heal that?” “I will later, they are not painful anymore”, she said.  Andie shows her hand, “Let’s be friends”, Josh hesitates but still takes it, and they shake hands. “Andie! Andie!”, her aunt was shouting, It was so loud, that it can wake her up more than her alarm clock. “Get up!”, her aunt opens the door. “Prepare breakfast for us now, it’s getting late!”, she then leaves. Andie looks at the clock beside her it was only six-thirty in the morning. She yawns, stretches her arms, and yawns, “That was a good dream, I missed you mom”, she gets up and goes downstairs immediately.  After an hour, all the meal was prepared, pancakes, hot chocolate, and coffee. She places the plates, utensils, and cups on the table. It was just the beginning of the day but her body was already exhausted, but she has no choice, it was her aunt and uncle's requirement to her as payment for living under their roof.  She sighs and just ignores it since it has become her daily routine for so many years. Andie gets the towel in her pocket then wipes her sweat from the forehead down to her neck, “Breakfast is ready!”, she shouted.  Three people walk towards the dining room, the first one is her uncle, Speer Cook, following him is her auntie Amery sniffing the food as she arrives there, “This smells good”, she then sits down on the table. The last one to go down, is her cousin, Wilma, “Ok, bye let me talk to you later at school”, she only settles down, after her call ended.  Andie goes back to her room, to pick up a towel and her clothes, to take a shower, she already ate earlier, as she was not allowed to eat with them.  Thirty minutes have passed, she now puts on her uniform, combs her hair, and packs books, notebooks, and notes into her bag, and wears it on her back. She leaves the house and bikes her way through the school using the hand me down bike from her uncle which he no longer used, instead of throwing it into the garbage, Andie pleaded to him so she can have it, almost everything she owns was things the Cook’s never wants any more. When she arrives at the school, Josh approaches her, “Hey”, and they hugged.  “Good morning,” Andie told him,  “How was everything at home?”, he asked, while they walk through their locker,  “as usual, you know what”, she suddenly pauses  “I dreamt earlier, the first time we met”,  ”Oh really! How old are we again, when that happened?”,  “I think eight”, she said to him, and they proceeded on walking,  “Mom was also there, I miss her so much”, she spoke Josh then puts his arms over her shoulders, “It’s ok, I am here for you”, he smiles at her “I know that, but although it’s been two years since mother died the pain is still there”, she wipes a tear on her eye, suddenly the bell rings, “come on now!’, he told her and both of them runs through their classes. At lunchtime Josh and Andie sit together, then someone walks towards them, “Hey”, she uttered,  “Oh I forgot to tell you, this is Mya, she is new here”,  Andie moves to make a space for her on the long metal bench,  “Nice to meet you”, Josh greets her warmly “I am excited to study high school here, Your campus is nice, it’s not bad for a public school”, Mya giggles and looks around, she then puts her lunch on the table, but noticed Josh was giving Andie some of his food. She was puzzled at first, yet as she saw Andie's tray was only with one piece sandwich and water it gave her a hint on what's going on.  “Do you need more food?”, she asks Andie,  “No, I have”, subsequently Andie puts back the food that Josh give to him on his plate,  “Is this the free food?”, Mya asks, but Andie just smiles and nods so she said, “It’s fine I won’t judge you”, she then puts her two oranges on Andie’s tray, “You can have it”,  “Thank you,” Andie told her. After hours of class, the three of them were walking together outside the entrance of the school, when a girl with her two friends looks at Andie, rolling her eyes over her, “Who is that?”, Mya wondered,  “Ignore them, they are just bullies,” Josh told her, suddenly someone honked their car horn,  “Mya!” the woman inside the car waves at her,  “I better get going guys, my mom is already here” she runs towards the car.  Andie and Josh were left there standing, “Come on”, Josh told her, and they ride on their bikes together. On their way home, Andie asks him, “Do you have a basketball practice tomorrow?”,  “Yep, I might get home late,” he said.   They now arrived at Andie’s home, she gets down from her bike, “Ok, see you tomorrow”, she then pulls the bike near the garage and Josh rides back to his home and leaves.  Entering their house always made her a little shiver down to her spine as she doesn't know what to expect, will her aunt or uncle be mad at her? Does she need to do a hard task again, so every time she placed her foot inside the house, Andie makes sure her every move will produce no sound as possible, but as she arrives she saw Amy was sitting on the couch watching television,  “Hey, iron the clothes, and prepare us a snack, Wilma would be here any minute so be quick”,  “Sure, hang on”, Andie immediately goes upstairs, she puts her bag on the couch, then noticed that her bedroom was quite messy so she put the scattered things in their place. Her bedroom was an old stockroom, but she cleaned and designed it with lights, decorates it with some fancy flowers too so it will look better.  She changed her clothes and take a shower for five minutes, then she goes downstairs, and prepares cookies and freshly baked bread and puts it on the table, luckily she was exactly just in time to finish preparing snacks as Wilma arrives, carrying shopping bags with her  “Mom! I am here!”, she shouted and dropped the bag on the doorstep, after a few seconds Amy goes down and hugs her, “Sweetie, are you tired now, have some snacks, but first wash your hands”, Wilma then moans, “Fine”, and goes to the bathroom,  “Pick this all up, and put it in her room”, Amy said and walked closer to her, “Don’t you dare get anything from that bag, understood?”, she told her, “Yes”, Andie said, and proceeds on wiping the table. Back at his place, Josh went to their mini grocery store a few steps away from their home “Hey mom”, he uttered “How was school?”, her mother, Daniella asked,  “It was fine, actually I have a training tomorrow for basketball”, he told her,  “wow, my son will soon be an MVP in basketball, I am so proud of you”, her mother pinches his left cheek,  “MVP already?”, he laughs, and scratches the back of his head, “I am just a rookie at it”,  “I know you will be someday”, she uttered, then she gets something from the corner inside the counter, “but before that, start sweeping first, and help me later when a customer comes in”, she handed a broom to Josh,  “Why don’t we use the vacuum?”, he asked,  “Nah, that’s just almost the same”, Daniella spoke.  Josh has no option but to obey her mother’s command he starts sweeping.  “By the way, how was Andie?”, his mother suddenly asked,  “She’s fine, but as usual she does all the hard work in their home”,  “Poor kid, she doesn’t deserve something like that, why don’t we tell it to the authorities?”,  “She will never approve it, she was afraid to lose a family and having no home to come back”, he told her,  “The authorities will give her shelter”,  “But it will not be home”, he responded  Daniella then can’t say a single word to him.  The day was almost about to be over, it was already ten in the evening, Andie has now finished doing her assignments and studying, when her phone chirped, “Hey, why are you still up?”, she asks Josh,  “I can’t sleep yet, how about you, why are you not sleeping yet?”,  “I have done a lot of chores earlier, I just did my homework".  “I just want to ask if you can watch my basketball practice tomorrow?” he told her,  “Let me see, I will try, maybe I am just going to make up an excuse to Amy”, she uttered,  “Ok, no worries” “I will go to sleep now, goodnight”, and they hang up the call. Tomorrow morning, Andie meets up Josh at their locker, “Hi”, he uttered, then Josh noticed that Andie looks pale,  “Oh, hi”, she opens the locker and sighs,  “Are you ok?”, he asked,  “Yeah, I am fine, don’t mind me”, she said, but still, Josh touches her forehead,  “You have a fever!”, he uttered,  “It's nothing”, afterward she grabs her books and a notebook from her locker,  “Andie! you are not fine!”, he grips her wrist, “Let’s go to the clinic”, ” But what about your, basketball practice, I want to be there and watch you,” she said,  “You can see it next time”, he drags her gently, through the clinic.  “We are just going to call your guardian and you can go home,” the nurse told her, while Andie is lying on the clinic’s bed. After thirty minutes, Amy arrives at the campus and straight away goes to the clinic. “Let’s go home now”, she then helps Andie stand up and lye her head on her shoulder, as they walk outside and goes through the car, but when they are already inside, Amy pushed her a little, “Get off me! I don’t want your germs to on me”, she sprays alcohol over her body and subsequently drives back home. “Go to your room now, and don’t walk around the house, you will spread your disease”, Amy told her, as soon as they got home, “sure”, Andie goes upstairs. She closes her bedroom door and lies down on her bed straight away, she grabs her blanket and covered herself with it. Andie feels a throbbing pain in her head, it’s so painful that she decides to sleep to not feel it anymore. After a while, Andie now wakes up, she looks at her alarm clock, it was already two in the afternoon, she noticed that her headache was gone, she touches her forehead, it was no longer warm like before, suddenly she heard a ring from her phone, “Hello, who is this?”, she uttered,  “This is Mya”,  “Oh, how did you get my number?”, she asked,  “From Josh, by the way, are you ok now?”,  “Yeah, am fine now, just a stupid headache maybe this also caused my fever, but everything is alright now”, she told her,  “Ok, I am just going to send you notes, and the homework, later”, she said,  “Thank you”, Andie uttered,  “I am not going to bother you anymore, have some rest, bye”,  “Bye” and the call ended.  She goes downstairs to have some meal because her stomach starts to growl. As she goes down, she headed to the kitchen, then saw piles of dirty dishes on the sink, she just ignored it, for now, she needs to have a rest first for a full recovery. Andie just grabs a loaf of bread and a jam, she was about to put it on the table, but it is dirty, spilled food and coffee, she sighs deeply, and gets a clean cloth, after a second, she wipes the table, Andie then quickly puts jams on her bread, so Amy will not see her, eating their food, subsequently, she goes back to her room. As she finished eating the bread, she picks up her dirty clothes on the ground and puts them inside the hamper.  She goes to the washing room, only to see a pile of dirty clothes, “I never know what is going to happen to this house, if I am not around”, she uttered. Andie stands there and looks around, “hmm”, she then sighs, “Fine I am going to do this now”, she starts separating the white clothes from the colored ones. After washing the clothes, she goes back to her bedroom and lies on her bed to rest.
