"Hey,mom." I said while I entered in the house. The house looks tidy like always and mom is washing dishes, like always.
"Hey,sweetheart. How was school?" She asked.
"Good." I replied and went upstairs into my room. My room is small and has a wooden floor and ceiling. My childhood pictures and paintings are hanged on one side of the wall. The rest of the room is filled with a bed, side table with a lamp and one bookshelf near the window. The window shows the view of one of the rooms of our neighbor Uncle Mike, who is out of city during the half of the year. On the other side of the painted wall, is the bathroom. I love this tiny place. This is the first place where I feel peaceful. I take out a yellow shirt and blue jeans from the closet and step in the shower. Warm hot water makes me feel better. A lot better.
After shower I get dressed and looked into the mirror."yes, it's a new day." I said to myself, looking at my dark blue eyes, pink full cheeks and brown hair. I'm not very pretty, that's what everyone thinks about me, but I still love myself a lot.
"Alice, be quick baby, lunch is ready." That's my mom's calling from downstairs.
"Yes, mom." I reply and quickly brush my hair and go downstairs. Mom and Jonah, my younger brother are already sitted there on the table. Mom is under her 30's but she looks really smart while my dad Charlie Jonathan is 40 years old and he looks pretty handsome too. Jonah is youngest, funniest and completely adorable kid in my family.
"Hey, sis." Jonah said as I sat on my chair.
"Hey Jonah." I said with a smile, "how was your day?"
"All well." He smiled." What about you?"
"All okay." I reply and the rest of the lunch is continued in silence.
Mom doesn't talk much during meals. She actually never talk much. The only time she talks to me in a sincere way is when it comes to my safety. I'm allowed for hangouts with my friends (under the time limits prescribed by my parents).
After taking last bite of the pasta, I drink some water and finally getup from my chair." Going to take a short nap." I inform my mom and rush towards my bedroom.
I entered in my room, knowing I'm not able to do anything else, I just jump onto my bed and grab a pillow. Huhh. I'm tired. I tell myself. Just as I say that, the view in front of my eyes turn black. Darkness .
