1131 Words
In the morning....
When I woke up, I prepared myself as usual, and as I was about to get out, Kelly called me back and said
"Alexa, dear. You have to do your chores before you leave." Meanwhile, Ava and Eva just walked out and left for school. I spent about an hour washing the dishes and cleaning. When i was done, she didn't say a word, so i left. Before heading to school, I passed by the cemetery to drop my letter and a bunch of flowers I bought. I looked for my mom's grave, and when I found it, tears rolled down my cheeks. I put the letter and flowers on the grave and left for school.
At school....
I didn't talk to anyone, and my mind wondered to the cemetery where there was a boy cleaning .He looked like he was in high school, but he wore a black jumper and hood to cover his head. Selinè so full of excitement, approached me and said,
"Hey girl, I got good news for you. That Chris guy is behind bars."
"Aren't you happy? "she asked. She noticed my gloomy face and asked,
"What's wrong?"and I replied,
"I lost my mom. The only person I had in my life."
" Oh my gosh. I'm sorry."
"It's okay." I replied. The day went on until I saw Ricky. I was so depressed and I started crying uncontrollably. He gave me a big hug, I hugged him back and didn't want to let go. When I relaxed, he took me to the basketball court, and he started teasing me because of my height. He was obviously taller than me.
"Alexa, can you shoot in the basket?"
"I can try." I replied and tried shooting, but I failed. He started laughing at me, and I said,
" I can do other things better than shoot in a basket hole that is clearly taller than me."
"Okay, can you kiss well?"he asked, and I replied,
" Yes, I can."
"I doubt."He looked at me with a smile on his face and said,
" Just admit that you can't kiss and I'll teach you." I got angry, pulled his head to mine, kissed him, and he kissed me back. He was memorized by the kiss and left completely speechless. He pulled me close to him and kissed me.
Afterward, I went to the flied to run. So as I started running, I saw Ricky chasing after me, and I ran as fast as I could away from him. When he finally caught me, we fell on the ground, and I was trapped in his amazing gaze. I felt my legs tingle as i looked at him. He was about to kiss me but a group of students saw us and they started taking pictures so he stopped and we laughed our hearts out.
The boy in the jumper....
At the Cemetery.....
After I placed the letter on the grave and left He was cleaning, and he picked it up and read it. His name was Kai. He wrote on it, and it said
sometimes you get to a point
where it hurts too much
and you will do anything to get
rid of the pain.
Even if it means doing
something that hurts
someone else
And he folded it and put it back. In the evening, as I was returning from school
I bought flowers and passed by the cemetery. I found my letter folded, and when i opened it, I found writing on it, which made me angry. I hurried home, got a pen and paper. So I started writing
I don't know why
You encroached on my
personal space
or wrote on my letter
Why couldn't you mind your own business?
instead of replying
letters that are not intended
for you.
I folded it. I took it to the symmetry and took it to the same place I got it
That boy Kai lived with his father and little sister. He's Father was a drug addict and used to come back in the middle of the night. He lost his mom in an accident he caused and got blamed for it till date.Kai got tired of his father and got a job as a cleaner in the cemetery .His boss Mr Wilson was like a father to him because he used to encourage him.He most times he spent his nights in Mr Wilson's house .When Kai was cleaning the cemetery again, he found a letter and read it. It was different from the previous one. He got angry and lost his temper. But when Mr Wilson saw him, he said ,
" Hey kid, come here."
"Yes."
"What's the matter ?"
"You seem angry."
" Yes I am.This person wrote a letter, and i added something now that he or she is asking me to mind my business."
" Child, you know you encroaching someone's personal space."
"Yes, I understand."
" Everyone needs someone to talk to."
" So why don't you talk that to that person."
"No, Son, I want you to talk to that person ."
"What if I never want to talk to that person in my life."
" Never is always okay, but it's but at least try. If it's not for you for me, please." Kai was this kind of person who never associated with anyone in school here always walked alone and it was said that that his mother died because of him. So most people try to avoid him.
At home.....
When he reached home, the servants took his bag and said,
"Sir, your father wants to talk to you. "He just raised an eyebrow and moved away. When he went to the sitting room, he saw his father seated on the couch he was drunk, and he said
"My son is a failure. You were a mistake. That's why your mother died. All because of you." He ignored his dad because it wasn't the first time he said any of those words, and he went to his room. Many times he wish that his life could change and instead of being mistreated by his f****d up dad
In his room....
He decided to write back to the stupid person who roached to him
Hi whoever you are
For information
i didn't write anything for you
All that I did was right on the paper
not to you and
before you start telling me to
Mind my own business
learn to mind yours
He folded the letter and moved out. he took it to the cemetery, hoping that the person would get it and read. He started feeling better than he was because he was talking to someone who was a Mr Wilson or his dad.
