CHAPTER-2
902 Words
Morning came sooner than i would have liked, a small knock on the door woke me and i knew it was grandma telling me to get up. She never came in. She just knocked and waited for me to respond and go downstairs. "I'm up thank you grandma" i shout. Groaning and stretching as far as my limbs could go, hearing a snap, crackle and pop, smiling in satisfaction. The morning sun shined threw my open window at least today looked like it was going to be sunny so i went to shower and pick out my outfit, i had lots of cloths one thing melody made sure i had before i left. Stifling threw my closet and drawers i finally decided on a pair of black stretchy leggings and a light pink spegetti strap braided my hair in two french braids and when i was satisfied i walked down to meet grandma. The house smells of bacon and eggs, pancakes and i could even smell orange juice if that is even possible. I walked into the kitchen and great grandma give her a hug and kiss and sit down for breakfast.
"Are you excited for your senior year ?" she said wiggling her eyebrows, laughing and almost spitting out the juice i had so generously sipped on choking down the cool liquid. "Well i guess so i am a little nervous though" i admit looking down at my plate Smiling wide she told me i had nothing to worry about i would fit in great, little did she know i didn't fit in anywhere i went i wasn't the most popular nor was i the prettiest i was curvy and had gotten quiet the chest early in my teen years they were up a size c, i had hoped they would stop growing soon or they would topple me over.... beyond that my hips went down in an hour glass shape i was pretty tall almost 5'9" and had to wear glasses or i was dreadfully blind i thought about contacts, but melody wouldn't have it. Compared to the girls at my last school i defiantly wasn't up to there standards or style i like comfy over flashy any day.
Smiling up at grandma i finished my breakfast and squished her one last time before turning to head for the door. I was almost out the front door when she hollered "wait up". I turned to see her holding up a set of keys gangling them back and forth. "Whats the meaning of this?" i questioned. "well you cant start your senior year with out my gift to you." almost giggling like a teenager i have never seen her act this way but it warmed my heart to see her like this since my grandfather passed a few years ago not meany things made her smile any more, i was hoping she would finally move out to where we were but she said her place was here. She slowly walked me to the garage before telling me to close my eyes, and i gladly did so. No one has ever done something like this for me. I was getting butterflies in my stomach hearing the doors open. "Keep them closed real tight until i tell you!" she said.
On the count of three you can open them, 1....2....3 open she is standing next to the most amazing truck i had ever seen all black with tinted windows on a lifted frame. I would swear the tires are as big as i am lol ... running, I wrapped her in the tightest hug, squeezing until I couldn't, no more, not realizing i had started crying. She looked so confused. "What's wrong child???" concern laced in her every word, "Its nothing grandma these are happy tears. No one has ever done anything remotely this amazing for me!!!!" i could feel her heart swell with happiness. "Good my child, I cant imagine your mother not spoiling you over the years. She sure didn't hurt for money!" her words stung. Did she really not know the person her daughter had become?? a narsisistic self-centered woman, how we stayed where we have fo so long is beyond me she cant hold a job, let alone think to spend this much money on me. The only thing she cared about anymore was traveling with her new husband, my quote un quote new dad..... She told me my real dad walked out on us when i was little and she never let me forget that he HAD ABANDONED US ALL!!!! I had stopped asking her a long time ago about him i fought the urge to tell her the truth, not like it would matter at this point she was so good at manipulating everyone she meets. Two days before she shipped me off she bought me all kinds of new clothes and stuff she said i would need for the year none of them being an actual nessicity, i had planned to go today after school to get the rest of what i needed for school. i kissed grandma on the forehead and hopped in my new ride how she knew exactly what i liked is beyond me now off to school today is gonna be a great day i say to myself as i pull out the drive giving one last wave im on my way.
