I just felt it was not right to tell everyone that my dad doesn't have a job so I only decided to tell Liam and Sarah about it. They offer me support at every step they can. Liam keeps on reassuring me that dad is a very skilled and talented man and that any company that hires him will be very lucky to have him. He was about to talk to his dad as well about dad's job but we stopped him because then it would be weird. So all my dad is doing is submitting his CV's and giving interviews after being called for them. Dancing, playing football and spending time with my friends is my only distraction. Mum is obviously behind us to cut back on our expenditures which obviously makes sense and I don't spend randomly on food and stuff everyday. 

"I am very jealous of Andrew", Wesley says as we sit down in the cafeteria. 

"Same"

"Find a girl or a guy with whom you can celebrate a 4 year anniversary with", Amy says looking dreamily at  Mathew, her boyfriend. Yes, today is Andrew and Alina's 4 year anniversary and Andrew has gone to New York to celebrate. Very romantic. They'll go to like the museum of ice cream, a horse carriage ride, dinner ride and some more cute stuff. My mom could never allow me to go that far alone. Its only a dream for me.

"We can barely spend 6 months with a girl here without something happening",  Wesley jokes.

"Is that a taunt towards me Wes", Amy asks with a very sweet smile on her face which we all know is not sincere and all know Wesley wanted to taunt her playfully.

"Speak carefully my man", Liam and Mathew says from the side. Mathew doesn't mind Wes and Amy hanging out, very secure.

"Me taunting you? I could never!", he says with a very dramatic effect. Ruby passes by our table, gagging at Amy and Mathew. I swear that girl never stops! She is still not over the fact that her ex-boyfriend is now with someone else. Both of them simply give her the middle finger and we continue eating and talking. 

In dance, we have a few new members and the ones who graduated this year are gone. We are almost ready for the dance championship. This will be my last championship from high school because us final year students won't get to participate 1 month before the finals. Its annoying and Lucas and I are mad but we can't do anything. We tried arguing with the teacher but she said her hands were tied and I don't like arguing with teachers after a certain point. 

While leaving from school, I see mom's text and she has told me to get something sweet while coming back from school. Didn't she herself tell me to save some money? When I get home I see mom and dad watching TV and laughing and their faces light up when the see me. 

"I finally have a job! And we I start next week", my dad says beaming with joy. I haven't been that close to my parents so I don't know whether to hug him or not so I simply just yell 'wooohoo' and go keep the ice cream I got into the fridge. If it were India, I would have gotten gulab jamun or rasgulla or something but there is no Indian sweet shop near our house. I rush up to give the news to Liam and Sarah as well and they are overjoyed. 

I know my parents have had  a stressful month so I go down and tell my mom that today I'll be cooking some pasta for them. I don't cook very often so she immediately agrees. I make some white sauce pasta with some basic veggies and it is flavoursome. Everyone seems genuinely happy today and my heart glows. Guess Andrew and Alina's anniversary is lucky for us.

Today is just a day full of good news and I am not complaining one bit! Today is the when there is no stress on me. In psychological, I feel I am at stage 1 of my mental illness continuum, for today. I also got my SAT results today. I got a flipping 1350! I rush down immediately to tell my parents and to have a double round of ice cream for double good news. 

My countenance is literally beaming and I can't stop showing my teeth. Today my mind is rushing with only positive thoughts unlike the usual negative overthinking and it feels good. I know my SAT scores are in which means I will now have shortlist my top colleges and work on my applications but I will not be thinking about it today. My parents and I decide to watch a bollywood movie for tonight and we end up watching our fixed movie which we have watched over 20 times- Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. My dad hates going out late at night but today we convince him to take us out for a drive to the beach. 

A cold night, a lucid moon, heaven's eyes shine in the black as divine watchful mother. The night creatures were already busy with their activities. On our left where the land was, I could hear the shrill cries of the cicadas and other insects. On our right the waves broke gently on the shore sending up sprays of phosphorescent surf. The sounds and sights of nature were wonderful. The noise of occasional traffic along a road nearby was the only blemish to the otherwise perfect natural surroundings. The four of us were perhaps the only other blemishes. As we walked walked along the shore, the waves flirted with our feet and crabs scurried as we approached them. The soft wind rustled among the coconut palms. It pushed my wavy hair forward to tickle my face. Such a peaceful.

We head back feeling satisfied and glee.

Its 12 when we reach home and I realise what date it is.
