EPISODE 1
"Dad!,Dad!.."
I squealed while racing to the dusty sitting room that my dad was setting up.
"You won't believe what happened!"
I squealed the more while bouncing in excitement.
"Humour me"
He replied after turning his attention towards me.
"I want you to guess"
Dad kept humming while dusting a picture of himself and mum. After a few attempt of him guessing wrongly he finally gave up but I wasn't really going to buy it... really?,has he forgotten about something as important as this?!
"You know am not good at guessing"
He finally let out after huffing in defeat.
"You're the worst"
"But you still love me"
"Just a little"
My reply made dad roll his eyes... trust me,it's his thing,he does it all the time.
"Are you going to spill or just stand there looking like your mother."
"I got accepted!"
I finally let out,I couldn't hold anymore. I was just so happy.
"See for yourself"
I handed my phone over to my dad who carefully read through the displayed SMS.
"What?,this is great news."
Dad smiled while reading the SMS.
"Come here"
Before I could register Dad's words,I was already trapped in a bear hug and trust me,my dad can get mushy mushy.
"I knew you'd get accepted"
He wisphered, sounding so sure.
"You sound so sure"
"Why wouldn't I?, after all,my girl is smart...just like her mother"
He replied while squeezing me tighter.
"Thanks Dad"
"Now this calls for a celebration!"
He suddenly announced after pulling away.
"Go get dressed we're going out."
"What?,what about the house?"
I replied as I let my eyes roam round the dusty room... don't get me wrong, it's not like am a fun killer or anything but Dad seemed so focused on getting our new apartment all fixed up.
"Piss...we can still do that tommorow."
Dad replied after checking his wrist watch. It was already 6:15pm.
"Now go get dressed"
Dad practically shooed me to my room,which by the way is as dusty as this one.
15 minutes later...
"Am done and ready for take off"
I wisphered to myself after taking a glance at myself in the mirror.
Oh,I didn't get to introduce myself;am sage and I live with my dad, my mum's dead,it's a long story that I would rather not get into. Anyway,you might be curious why my Dad's taking me out...well,After my mum died,things fell apart. Dad loved my mum so much that he got affected the most... don't get me wrong,I love my mum just like any normal kid would but I think I handled my grief better than Dad. Alright,back to the story; Dad got so affected that he lost his job,we kept feeding off what was left in his account but after some time, reality started kicking in. We had to move on,my Dad had to look for a job.
After so many trails,my dad finally got a suitable job...but it was in another town. So Dad decided it was time for a change, time to leave our crappy past and live a new life.
We moved into greensvel, bought a new house which obviously we haven't finished setting,so logically...we just arrived here yesterday and since we're a little broke ,I decided to apply for scholarship into a very pristigous school;'witmore highschool' and well, I got accepted thanks to my geeky brain... alright, let's get something straight;am a blonde girl who weres glasses and happens to be a nerd...so you can call me smart but never a geek,am the only one with that right.
"Sage, please tell me you're ready!"
Dad suddenly yelled, interrupting my train of thoughts.
"Yeah,just a minute"
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
The meal was wonderful. Dad took me to a restaurant and not just any restaurant,an expensive one at that .
"God these pancakes are delicious."
I hummed after gobbling the last pancake on my plate.
"Glad you enjoyed it."
Dad chipped with a proud smile... honestly, I miss that smile. Who knows maybe with our new life over here,I could get more smiles from him.
"I'll be back dad, gotta use the bathroom."
Dad only nodded in response while tapping off on his phone.
I quickly got into the bathroom,I just needed to wash off some syrup that dropped on my dress and just as I was about to get down to business,a lady walked in.she looked like she could be in her forties. I quickly started rinsing off the stain but it was pointless,the stain kept getting nasty.
"Looks like you could use some help with that"
I quickly turned towards the speaker only to spot the same lady,she was standing in the same spot. I wasn't sure how she was going to be of help,this nasty stain is practically invincible but I didn't want to seem rude to the nice lady.
"I really appreciate your help ma'am but-"
"VERSMARTUS OCULUS REPARO"
she slowly muttered in the most unnatural voice and instantly the stain varnished. I couldn't believe my eyes,the entire stain varnished as soon she uttered those strange words.
"Now you're all fixed up."
She suddenly voiced out but this time her voice was now completely natural.
"I-i-i..."
I was short of words,I just couldn't process all that had just happened,all I could think of was how am standing in front of a real life harry potter which well,is an elderly woman and of course, doesn't need a wand to do any magic but then again,I couldn't bring myself to call what just happened as magic or whatever...my eyes must be playing tricks on me.
"A thank you would be the most appropriate thing to say right now."
I quickly snapped out of my thoughts and there she was smiling like nothing weird didn't just happen.
"T-thank you ma'am"
"You're welcome dear but you'll speak of this to no one ok?"
I wanted to question her,I wanted to scream a big 'WHY SHOULDN'T I?' but my mind wasn't in total support so I just nodded...after all,it not like she would know when I tell anyone.
"That's a promise young lady so i trust you'll keep it"
With that said,she pulled the exit door and just like that she left, leaving me with so many questions.
