3. P H O N E C A 엘 L
The phone rang about 9am I was the one who answered. Norah went to the store to buy groceries and my sister is upstairs still asleep. I picked up the phone, “Hello?” I spoke the word softly. “Mariah? This is your aunt Lourdes How are you?” She said happily. I didn’t expect her to call at this moment but I was surprised. “Hi Aunt Lourdes um, I’m fine. Why’d 당신 call?” is the
why’d-you-call-thing the right thing to say to someone ten times older than me?
She didn’t mind me saying that.
“I told your mom that 당신 are welcome to stay here for the summer. And I’m hoping 당신 could come 다음 Saturday. Will 당신 accept my invitation?” she said excitedly. My 심장 skipped a beat. I forgot what my mom wrote in the letter she gave me before she and my dad left. I was invited to her house, the one I once called a mansion. This may be a new experience for me this summer “Mariah, are 당신 there?” she called. “Oh, sorry, yes! I would 사랑 to come.” I said cheerfully then grinned at myself. I managed to listen carefully on what she’s saying. Every word gets me excited.
Well yeah, I haven’t told 당신 that I 사랑 trying new things and I’m always on the go. “Thank you, Mariah,” she hung up. I’m bored.
Outside the window 의해 the mailbox, was the mail man. I opened the door and greeted him. “A package for 당신 Mariah, quite heavy isn’t it?” the mailman Jeb smiled. “Yeah, wonder what’s in it,” I shook the box, nothing moved 또는 a sound.
Jeb got out something from his mail carrier bag, “Sign here, please,”
I obeyed. “And, this is for Aeyla,” he handed me a letter. Hmm.
“Thanks, Jeb,” I said and went back inside. I went upstairs and observed my bookshelves. “Done, done 읽기 that, done, that made me cry, done…” I said on every 제목 of the book. I sat on my 침대 and played with my fingers. I want to go out, I told myself. Under the 침대 almost near the foot of the nightstand is where I hid my coin box. I got a few pesos and shoved it on my right pocket jeans.
“Keys,” I tapped my pockets. “Oh, there it is,” I said.
I went downstairs and shockingly saw Norah in the kitchen. “Oh you’re here,” my voice cold. She was unpacking groceries. “Hey Norah, do 당신 mind, I’ll go out for a while?” I said. “Okay. Be back 의해 lunch time, ‘kay?” she agreed.
“Got it, bye,” I went for the door.
If you’re wondering why I need keys, here are the two reasons: I need to lock the house. Well when I didn’t expect Norah came so early, I didn’t need them and the other reason because, I have a scooter, a red 주황색, 오렌지 type one. This one’s a birthday gift from my parents and I was really surprised they weren’t kidding to buy me one. Then the scooter went to life.
The bookstore was quiet except the fact that an 18-year old girl was arguing with the store clerk. I didn’t much here their conversation; I was stuck with a Greenday song on my ear. “So, do 당신 mean my card has been declined? Check it again, please.” was all I could hear. The clerk nodded. Augh! The girl was irritated and dialed her phone.
I went to the aisle of the non-fiction books. I got the 제목 that I want and went to the other cashier. Then I went out of the place and entered at Starbucks.
The time I sat and sipped my coffee, my phone beeped.
From: 09178894567
To: 09163489920
Hey, Mariah
Who’s this? I thought.
Hi. Do I know you? I replied.
Of course, it’s me, Riley.
My 심장 pounded in surprised. Oh my god, its him texting…me.
Oh. It’s you. Hi.
How ya doing?
I sighed and smiled.
I’m good, excited. Going 집 in a few minutes, u?
Here at Sean’s house, goin’ to watch the game.
The Game TV show 또는 the game as in sports? I was puzzled.
Cool. Lakers on?
Yeah. But it isn’t starting yet, still on commercials. Can’t wait for the finals. He added a smiley.
Thank goodness I didn’t texted The Game TV show.
Tell me if who’ve won, okay? I’ll treat 당신 out if the Lakers win. Did I sound serious? I don’t think so.
Okay. 당신 said it. Now he doubled his smiley.
Oh, w8, the game’s starting. L8er.
Sure. Enjoy the game. I managed to add my own smiley too.
Lying in 침대 with cold sheets made me sleepy. I shut my eyes, slowly and trying to forget everything for a while. In my dream, I dreamed I was in a white room, an empty one. I heard a voice, it sounded sad, a female cry. I turned around.
There was a door. It just appeared from nowhere. I heard a knock. The sound of the voice crying, still there, I turned the knob.
Beep! Beep! My dream 구름, 클라우드 popped of the sound and I could hear my phone vibrating. I was awake.
The sender read: Riley. I sat down quickly as I could.
“‘Hey, I guess it’s my lucky day. The Lakers have won. So, where’re we going?’”
I mouthed his message.
I don’t know exactly where 또는 what I’m going to treat him. Plus I don’t know much about him. I wondered, still thinking on what to reply.
I searched his 페이스북 profile. There it is.
Interests:
Lakers, watching live concerts, hanging out with 프렌즈 and anything Chris Brown.
I was thinking of going out tonight with him maybe buy him something he would like.
To: Riley Cruz (09178894567)
Really? Wow! That’s great. Tell 당신 what; meet me at High 거리 at 9pm.
Then I hit the send button.
I checked the time; it passed 7:00 pm. I went to the shower.
I don’t know what to wear. I sighed, staring at my closet.
Picked out a few jeans, t-shirts, long sleeves, skirts and placed them all in my bed.
The closet is now, officially empty. I heaved a sigh. I looked at the time; I opened my mouth and closed it. I’m out of time.
I quickly scanned the bed. I pulled out black jeans and a white collared
printed t-shirt. I’d dress up. I’ll clean the mess after.
I jogged downstairs.
My hand reached the doorknob. But somebody’s voice stopped me from turning it. Sitting behind me 의해 the lamp was Norah, holding a book and wearing glasses.
“Mariah, where’d 당신 think you’re going?” she closed her book.
I didn’t want to say 날짜 because, it’s not a date. I’m just doing my promise.
“Um…at High Street, going to meet a friend.” I honestly explained.
She went up to me. I felt nervous. 당신 don’t want to see her face when she gets really mad. “Hmm, okay. But, if that’s a boyfriend you’re meeting, 당신 can’t go out,” She held her glasses.
Boyfriend?
“Norah, I don’t even have one and like I said just meeting a friend.”
“Okay,” she went back to her usual spot. “Be 집 의해 midnight,”
Before my parent’s leave she didn’t made rules on her babysit days with us.
Now she made her own. Maybe its part of Mom’s reminders to her.
“Got it, “I went for the door.

I know the way it eats your mind
The way your brain, eaten up
The one that leaves 당신 silent, blind
Long after you've had enough
I know the way it devours your thoughts
The way 당신 feel confused
It feels like a million knots
It leaves 당신 feeling used
I know the way it stabs your 심장
The way it leaves 당신 here to bleed
It makes quite sure to tear 당신 apart
The time 당신 really need
I know the way it hurts your feelings
The way it leaves 당신 blue
당신 say 당신 see, when not really seeing
당신 say 당신 know, but that's not true
I know the way 당신 try and hide it
But then 당신 know you'll always find it
In the trees and in the gravel
This lie 당신 call friendship, I can't unravel.
