Going Out

"Get dressed",she commanded as I got to her room."We're going out".

"Where are we going?", I asked.

"Ooh,I forgot to tell you,I ran into a friend of mine. She was our neighbour when we lived in Manchester and she has invited us to have dinner with her because she would love to see you",mum said.

I rolled my eyes."See me?",I said quietly.

"See you. Now c'mon honey,go get dressed".

I stood up and went straight to my room and started rummaging my wardrobe for what to wear. I took for a blue gown and a silver chain and did my hair in a ponytail.

"Wait",I thought."It's not like I'm going to a prom night".

And with that I pulled the gown off and settled for a dark blue jeans and green top.

"Eleanor,you've been in that room dressing for ages",I heard my mum's voice across the stairs.

I quickly put on my white sneakers and ran down the stairs.

It was then I remembered that I had not done my assignment."I'll do it later",I thought and forgot about it.

"Now, focus on where you are going",I mumbled as I strapped the seatbelt.

The drive from Castro street to Valencia street was not really hectic.My mum kept ranting on and on where we were going.

"Nora,Mrs.Thompson was a very kind woman when we were at Manchester.She has a son about your age",she said for the umpteenth time. My mum calls me Nora or Ellie most times. She calls me Eleanor whenever she's stern.
