The Unexpected

Wow...what a week that was. Last week Aunt Lily's reunion did not go as expected. They did go looking absolutely gorgeous. Aunt Lily especially. She looked so radiant and stunning in the little black dress that she bought. She was eager to meet Jack. Well, they did meet him but he brought along a beautiful and sexy lady that turns up to be his wife. That was just the beginning, the lady was one of their school mates that they despised so much during their school days. Aunt Lily came home drunk. I never saw her looking that terrible not even at the funeral. Luckily her friends were there to stop her humiliating herself. Its good to have good friends around when we are sad and depressed. Myra said that Aunt Lily will be fine in the morning. The next morning she woke up with a huge headache and I was not to disturb her the whole day. I was relieved that Myra and Kate stayed until Monday. I would never know what to do.

Thank God its Friday

This week had gone by rather smooth and conflict free at school and surprisingly at home too. Aunt Lily brought home few of her friends last night. They chatted all night,giggled like a bunch of school girls,being silly and gossips about their old classmates. They have an event this Saturday at my school. Yes, Aunt Lily went to the same school I go now. Myra, one of Aunt Lily's friend said that she can't wait to go to school tomorrow and meet up with their old friends. They were so curious about this guy name Jack Cooper. I wonder who is he but after a while listening to them I came to a conclusion that this Jack was Aunt Lily's old flame. She was blushing every time they mentioned his name. I always wondered why Aunt Lily never got married. Maybe because of this Jack Cooper. He must be something. My dear Aunt Lily is not what you can categorize as beautiful but she is smart and has beautiful green eyes. The greenest eyes I have ever seen. She is petite and I am taller than her. She has nice long dark hair that she always tied into a granny-like-bun that makes her look old. I am at the mall right now, with my aunt and her friends, Myra, Kate, Alicia and Debbie. They were trying out outfits since this afternoon. They wanted to look gorgeous, sexy and envied by their old friends. Well, I just watched and nodded in agreement to what they said. Finally after a lots of "oh, you look nice in that" and "I look fat"they managed to get everything and now we are at Jim's Grill and Bar. I am now sitting down in this cosy place while blogging using my phone. I love it here. The smell is very welcoming. Its like going home after a long day. Thank God its Friday...

A peaceful mind..

Yesterday, I've been busy with classes and homeworks. I never thought that I would have so much work to do. But some of it I've covered in my old school so that would never be an issue. I have chosen to study Arts here. This afternoon will be my first class. I'm at the school cafeteria, blogging from my mobile. Millie, one of my friends said that Mr. Thornton is a very good art teacher and said that I would definitely enjoy his classes. Well, we'll see about that. I never had the chance to show my talent before maybe this would be the perfect place. So something could turn up good after all for me. Lat night, I overheard Aunt Lily talking to someone about me. She said that I am coping well with all the changes and that she is happy with my ability to cope. Well, I never imagined anything disastrous could happen to me and my family but it was meant to be. I didn't know where did I pluck the courage to go through all these but I managed somehow. I always do. Now that Aunt Lily had accept that I've moved on, I will now have my own peaceful state of mind.

First day all over again...

I'm at my new school. Using my mobile to blog. Not bad for a first day even when I sorely miss all my old friends. I tried not to be skeptical of things over here. So far I make few friends in my Literature class. They were nice enough to show me all the classes, the gym and also the big hall. It is not a big school but enough to make me feel edgy especially when they showed me the gym. It is big for a school this small. They have a swimming pool here and it is compulsory for everyone to take up swimming class. This makes me more agitated. Mickey, my new friend said that if I don't feel like it, I should just lie and tell them that I have a heart condition. Well, I think I will consider that. Aunt Lily won't approve it, I'm sure. On Saturday night I had a fight with Calleigh but before she went home I ask her to forgive me for my terrible bluntness. I know a part of it was my fault. I was so pigheaded and heartless sometimes. I wish that she would understand as it was hard not only for her but for me too. I just had other ways to mourn. I just wish that they would just let it go. I'll deal with it as I see fit.

Sweet Surprise

My sister Calleigh and her husband Ian are coming to visit this weekend. She called just now and told me that they will spend the entire weekend with me. Aunt Lily is going to run some errands at our old place so she thought that it will be a good time for me to spend some time with my sister. I guess she hopes that Calleigh will have that talk with me about what happened. We'll see about that. They will arrive this evening. I can't wait to see Calleigh and her big belly. I'm going to get twins nephews, she told me over the phone. I am so happy for her. Albeit all this sadness, something good and joyful will eventually shine through.

The days of thunder

Aunt Lily's car was fixed yesterday. But it still sound a bit thunderous whenever she started it. She went to work with red puffy eyes today. I heard her cried again last night as I crept slowly to the kitchen. I wonder when will she stopped. And I knew that she wonder when will I start. From that day I didn't say anything. Calleigh said that I was like a zombie, no emotion and that my eyes were empty. I tried so hard to cry. I really did but it didn't come to me. Not a single tears. I was like a broken soul that was beyond repair.

A whale...

It was a fairly good morning. I sat at the house's patio minding my own business listening to Radiohead while reading Half Blood Prince for the tenth time. I do that a lot. Multitasking all the time when I saw in the distance a fairly huge man walking towards the house. I put down my iPod and stared at the giant. I know that it is rude to stare at people like that but he reminds me of someone that I know. I was close to a whale once. That was the nickname that my not-so-friendly friends called him. Thomas M. Grint was his real name and he was one of my good friends. This huge man reminds me of him and as he got nearer the resemblance was so striking. He said something to me but I just stared at him, more like gawking at him. It was the most embarrasing situation. He just smiled at me and it was the most amazing smile. He had beautiful dimples on both sides of his cheek.
"Hello there miss", he said still smiling.
"Hi", I managed to smile back.
"Is this the Ramsey's residence?"
"Yes," I wonder how he knew.
"Well, I'm here to check on your mom's car. Is she around?"he asked. Before I got the chance to answer him, Aunt Lily came out with grease on her hands.
"Hi, you must be Jimmy right? From Big Jim Auto?"Aunt Lily asked looking rather annoyed.
"Yes maam, I am,"he confirmed.
"You are late. But never mind, the car is at the back. Come on." Aunt Lily said while gesturing Jimmy to follow her. I just sat there watched them walked to the garage at the back of the house. Suddenly I miss Tom. Maybe I will call him tonight. Maybe.

The moved...

My aunt and I are now agreeing to my terms of silence. Next week I will start at the new school. The thing that I dread the most. Make new friends were never my specialty. I was always the one who last to know about everything and sometimes know nothing at all. I realized what Aunt Lily had to sacrifice for me. Moved to a new place and all. I will try my level best not to be cynical and I hope that she would stop being so dramatic. Yesterday we went shopping for my new clothes and again we were silent all the way to town. She told me to shop for my own clothes because she didn't want to interfere with my taste of fashion. I bought a couple of shirts and two pairs of jeans. We went home after a dinner at Gloria's.
