Still Jaded

so we meet again

Astrid's pov

it's Monday today and I'm getting ready for school.

I feel like today's going to be a long day. I don't know, it's like a feeling that you get when something or someone is going to ruin your day,or maybe it's because I hate Mondays. Actually scratch that, I loathe mondays. I'm wearing my favourite baggy school hoodie , and I'm wearing black baggy champion pants.

Most of you can identify me as a nerd I guess, that's what they call me at school just because I like reading fantasy and rom-com books but then I read all genres from Romeo and Juliet to The Howl. I write poems from time to time but I think they are too “dark" for the world, too personal if you ask me.

Anyway as I head downstairs, I smell something nice, something delicious. I see my mom making bacon and eggs,my favourite.

“morning" I say with a smile

“morning honey, how did you sleep?"

“Good" I say lying to her

I can't tell her that I keep on have nightmares of me killing my family

“morning " my three sisters say in unison

oops did I forget to tell you that I have three beautiful, caring but annoying sisters? well now you know

The first born is Lerato in my language which means “love"and is 21 years of age

The second born is me, Astrid Deliah of course

The last born is Dineo in my language which means “gift", from the Lord..I don't know. who is 14 years of age

I know I said three sisters, with is why you are wondering, where is the other sister

she is not actually a biological sister, or a half sibling.

let's just say my grandmother and her mother are cousins, so I don't know what that makes us, she can't be my aunt when she is soon to be eighteen of age and I ,15 years old.

to be honest that's madness so we all call her as a sister.oh yeah and her name is kgothatso it means to give or to have courage.

we don't attend the same school if you are asking.

Dineo is in a dance school,

Lerato is currently an intern in engineering stuff that I don't pay attention to.

kgothatso is in a cooking school or whatever they call it and I'm in a normal high school

“well bye, going yo be late if I don't go any sooner"

I say as I pick up my plate and wash it in the sink

“have a nice day guys"

“bye",they say in unison

Its not long when I arrive at school by foot because it's only five minutes away. I am currently in the school hall for the principal to address the school.

“Its the start of a new year and a new term and I want to welcome the new learners attending this year, don't worry about getting lost for you will have your own personal tour guides. You may go now.

Ugh boring why they call us if they not addressing us.

as I walk to the exit, my shoulder bumps in someone's arm.

when he turns around to to looks at me, I seem to recognise the face to this tall guy.

Dios Mio, it's him

“So we meet again heh pumpkin?"
