I grab my toothbrush and toothpaste,apply a little on it.
After that I pull off my clothes and step into the shower, enjoying every bit of it.
You guys are wondering why I didn't introduce myself.
Gosh!!
Pardon my manner..
Am Rosa Scott,am 19 years old and I live with my mom.
She is my everything,I love her so much and I can't trade her with anything.
We just lost my dad a week ago and my mom can't bear the pain of staying here because it reminds her of my father.
So we're moving to Canada.
And am going to start a new college over there.
Cool right?
But am gonna miss my friends,Ella and Susan.
"Are you done Rosa?"my mom called out as I heard her footsteps in my room.
"Almost mom!"I replied causally as I stepped out from the shower,use my towel to clean up my hair.
When I came into the room, she was gone.
After some few minutes,I was done with packing my stuff and my books.
I applied a little make up on my face.
"Mom am done!"I said to her the moment I entered the parlor with my luggages behind me.
She stared at me and said"Rosa I know you are against us leaving this house"she said looking around the house.
"But you know am doing it for your own good alright?"
"Yes mom,I know"I replied smiling,I don't want her to think that am not happy with it. She has been through a lot.
"Mom am hungry"I pouted out like a baby.
"Don't worry sweetheart,we will take some coffee along the street but for now let's go"she said as she drag the luggages outside.
I stand for some minutes, look around the house,the garden where I usually plant flowers.
My bird was still on tree.
Then my favorite spot,dad and I play in that place whenever mummy is on her trip.
I smiled..
"Bye dad,I will miss you and this house but you will forever be in my heart okay"I stuttered as I clean up the tears that was gathering in my eyes.
"Rosa let go"my mom called out to me and I stared at the house for the last time before walking over to the car.
Mom has already load the truck and everything so I just entered inside the car while mom was at the first seat.
The engine of the car and started and we move.
"I hope I will enjoy my new house and college, make new friends"I muttered to myself as I stare outside the window.
I put on my earphones...
Bought out my dairy, wrote down my new year wishes.
"I wish to make mom proud!"
"I wish to leave a simple life with no stress"
"I wish to write all those stories that are in my heart but I don't know where to start from"
That was my new year wishes, with that I slept off into the land of gold.
~~~~~~~~~~
I was felt someone taping my shoulders but I was too weak to open my eyes.
"Rosa!"I heard my name from a distance.
"Will you open your damn eyes!"I felt a light slap on my cheeks and I opened it immediately.
"Goodness!mom why did you slap me that way when we have not gotten to ca....."my voice was cut short as I look over from the car window to behold a beautiful mansion In front of me.
"Who has this house?"I asked nobody in particular as I trying to recover from the sleep.
"This is our new home,we are in Canada"my mom said as if she was reading my mind.
"Oh my gosh!!"I stepped down from the car.
"Mummy you mean this house is ours?"I asked her.
"Yes Rosa, this is our new home now start packing those stuff inside"my mom said but I was still lost in thought.
"Rosaaaa!"she screamed loudly in my ears before I turned to look at her.
"Mom do you want to break my ear,the one that God gave"I said in an angry expression.
"That was the only way to bring you back to your senses young lady"
She went inside with some of the stuff.
Without hesitating, I carried the luggages inside.
"Wow!"I mouthed as I stepped into the parlour.
"Mom this house is beautiful"I said dropping the luggages on the floor.
"Yes I know but go and get those stuff Immediately,we need to start cleaning up this house"my mom said.
Seriously she is a joy killer.
She will not allow me to admire this beautiful house.
After packing everything inside,mom asked me to go and decorate my room the way I want.
I ran upstairs.
I chose the room that was close to a tree.
"Wow! awwww my goodness!"
The view from the room was wonderful.
I bought out my bed,my books and everything.
I start by arranging my stuff in the closet.
After that I packed my books one place.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
By the time,I was done with the arrangements.
I was really exhausted and hungry.
I went downstairs and thankful mom was preparing rice salad.
"Aww!the aroma is sweet!"I said as I hug my mom from the back.
"Are you done with the cleaning?"she asked.
"Yes mom"I replied.
"Okay food will be ready in a few minutes"
I can't wait to eat so I opened the freezer, took some apple.
After some few minutes of silence i said.
"Mom when am I starting school?"
"Probably next week"she replied.
"But next week is too far and I don't want to miss anything in school mom!"I cried out.
At is me for you,I hate been late in everything I do.
"Okay, I'll get some information from the internet"
"Which kind of information?"I asked.
"The school that is best for you"
Oh
"Okay mom"
I kept quiet and enjoyed my apple ...
But what will I studied in school.
That question has been in my thoughts for a very long time but I don't have the answer for it.
"Food is ready"mom announced as she dish out some food in a plate.
I grab my fork and follow my mom to the dinner.
We ate in silence, nobody made a noise.
That is the rule my dad bought out.
After eating,I drank my juice and waited patiently for mom to finish hers...
"Are you done mom?"I asked and she nod her head.
I took the plates away.
"Mom let watch some movies"I said to mom as I grab the television remote.
"Rosa I have some important work to do so enjoy your movie"mom replied as she stood up from the couch.
"Okay!"I replied feeling a little bit angry.
She is always busy.
I can't remember the last time we sat down together and watch TV.
I went straight to my room not having the feeling of watching TV anymore.
I bought out my iPhone from my purse, dial Ella's number and it went through.
"Hello baby girl!"she beamed.
"I hope you are enjoying your new home?"she asked.
"And I hope you have made a new friend,I mean boyfriend?"
"Am fine Ella, what of Susan?"I asked ignoring the other question.
"She is alright but just missing you"
"I miss you too"I said.
"Okay we'll talk later,my mom is asking of me"Ella said.
"Okay bye"I replied causally and the call disconnect.
What Ella said replay in my mind.
"Boyfriend!"I said feeling a little bit nervous.
"Am not ready for that"I muttered to myself as I went over to the window.
I can see some houses through the window. But we don't have neighbor.
After viewing the house for some minutes,I retired back to my bed.
Feeling tired and sleepy..
I allow the sleep to take over me.
