Maybe it would not have been this bad if I were just a little more good with the students here. Actually, I did not want to come to America, I argued with my parents…but yeah…they did not need my advice for that…so yeah…I had to come here…

               Now let me tell you something about me… I get angry pretty fast…I am too stubborn…but then if I wanted to get something then I had would do it until I get the result I wanted…I had patience in that way…yeah I it’s know really weird.

                              Yeah…I was really stubborn…so I told my parents I would not make friends at school. I would give a bad impression there…yeah…of course I know that would not make them go back to Saudi Arabia, but as a stubborn teenager, I did it. In the beginning and all my parents constantly advised me…but in the end they gave up.                                                        

                                  ~~~~~**********************~~~~~

                         It was 5 o’clock, I had to go to work, I worked every day after my class…I worked in a library. Straight after I came from school I went and showered…don’t call me a neat freak but I will tell, I at least bath four times a day, I took it after from my dad he showered at least hundred times a day…well that I am kidding. However, yeah, always before going out and after coming home he used to shower. Moreover, my mother always got angry for that, because she just showered twice a day. I took after my father but my brother he was sooo lazy to bath. Even once a day…disgusting, I know right. After showering I grabbed a black jeans which was not too skinny but not baggy and gray t-shirt on which it was written I’M TOO SEXY FOR U!... ;P and I just grabbed my black hoodie wore my black wristwatch.  Tied my wet, long, thick, curly hair up in a messy bun, I put on my white socks and my favorite black converse. Moisturized my body because it was cold and I had a very dry skin and I grabbed my purse in which I had some money and my iPhone. Let me tell I always wore my wristwatch were ever I go, I am somewhat addicted to it. Black, white and grey are my favorite colors.

       I lived with my aunt, my stepdad’s sister, Lauren. She is cool…funny. I actually like her, When there was no one for me, when I had no place to live, when everyone deserted me she was the one who was there to help me, give me shelter and food. I would do anything for her, I am even ready to die for her. She is always hyperactive, unlike me. When I went downstairs she was in the kitchen making something for her, and yeah she loves cooking, she is mostly in the kitchen cooking, but I am the exact opposite, I hate cooking. She makes I eat. When I opened our main door,

 “Evana” she called me “I won’t be home till midnight, I am going for a party with Noah at his friend’s home, they invited you, and do you wanna to come?”      

           Noah Parker is Lauren’s husband, they have been married for three years, still no kids, and Noah is really nice. They know that I will not go for any parties still they call me every time, they still have the hope that I would change my mind, but no they are mistaken I am never going to change my mind.

“La, you know right, that I don wanna go to parties, I hate drunken people” I said annoyed, she is trying to help me, I know but why don’t she just leave me alone? “You guys go”

“Evana, try to cheer up!” she turned to look at me from whatever she was cooking “it’s your life, YOLO, you only live once, maybe you can make friends. Please come, for me?”

“I am not going to make friends, besides I have 2 friends they are enough for me,” I said little irritated

“You need to make friend, only two is not enough-” I know she was going to start her usual speech before she could continue I interrupted

 “La, today I’m busy, I have a test tomorrow in pre-calculus, and I gotta learn a lot for that”

“You always have one or the excuse, Evana,” she said disappointedly. Seeing her disappointed face, I just want to go to party and make her happy, but I hate the smell of alcohol, and that is the main thing in the party, so no I am not going.

“I’m sorry,” I murmured, actually meaning it, wishing she would understand,” Bye, La gotta go!”

             Instead of shaking hand she always hugged people, I  on the other hand hates hugging people, but I can’t get away from her hug, she is already disappointed in me I don’t want to make her anymore sad, but I actually like hugging her, I turned and hugged her.

“Bye, Evana” she replied hugging me back “take care, dinner will be in the microwave, don’t sleep without eating”

“Okay” I mumbled.

           I stepped out and the cold wind hit me, I hugged myself. I checked form my annoying neighbor, Carson, he was always trying to mess up with me, he know I was really short-tempered, so he always annoyed me, putting chewing gum on my locker and kind of things. I took out the key for my car, I had Lexus’s dark grey color car, 2012 model. It was actually my 16th B’day gift. I learned driving when I was 13 yrs. Noah and Lauren were really rich. I got inside the car, it welcomed me with the warmth and the same jasmine’s smell. I started driving to the library, I turned on the radio and one of my favorite song Counting Stars by One Republic started playing….

Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard
Said, no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Yeah, we'll be counting stars…

                           I started singing along with it, I am not a bad singer, I am quite a good singer, and my friends back in Saudi Arabia always used to say that I have a good voice. I reached library, parked my car, and went inside to see a smiling Mrs. Parker. She is always smiling; I really do not know how people can always be smiling. She smiled a lot, even though she is 46, she smiles like a carefree 10-year-old girl. I have always admired her smile.

“Good Evening, Mrs. Johnson” I greeted smiling at her.

“Good Evening, Evana” she gave me warm smile. “You are 10 min’s early, what happened?” she asked me.

          I know asking why you are early is really weird, it’s not because that I come late every day, it’s just because I always come the exact time, not a minute early nor late. It is just a habit of my mother, which I got. “No, I just thought I would come a little early, nothing much” I politely smiled at her.

“Dear, if anything is bothering you, you can always come to me.” After my Aunt Mrs. Johnson was the one there for me always. She gave me the job, I wanted money for my basic needs, I did not want to be a big bother for aunt, and they are already paying my school fee. Understanding me Mrs. J gave me the job, even though La disagreed with it , they were really rich and she thought i didnt have to be stressed, but i really wanted to work and get my mind out of everything, i wanted to earn my own money, my money from my hardwork, Mrs. J talked to her and made her agree.

“Yeah, and thanks for that.”

             After work I thought about going to McDonald’s, but then decided against it because Lauren would make the dinner, so I thought about going to my favorite ice cream parlor, Blue Bunny Ice Cream Parlor. It was a five minutes’ drive from the library. I parked my car and went inside, the warm air and the ice cream smell welcomed me. I went and sat on a table, a blonde waiter came to me, and asked me “are waiting for someone?”

“Nah, it’s only me” I sighed and gave her my order. “Vanilla and chocolate ice cream.”

               She then returned with my ice cream. I politely thanked her. Looking at the Chocolate ice cream my thoughts drifted to my mom. She used to hate chocolate ice cream, or whatever that is, what she used to tell us, and for me I really loved chocolate ice creams. Whenever I bought chocolate ice cream she used to say, what’s with chocolate ice crème it’s so bitter and all, but if I asked her do u wanna taste then she would take the biggest scoop.

                          By the time I reached home, Noah and La have left. I went up to my room and closed the door. I felt my pone vibrating and checked it was a text message from my best friend, Emma Robert. They were twins, Emma and Ethan Peterson. They were my best friends, and my only friends.

Emma: hey nerdy, r u bak frm wrk??…I need help in pre-calculus… :P (((:

Me: yh…I jst came hme…. -,- I myself haven’t learnd for da tst…

              The reply was really fast, I guess she was waiting for me,

Emma: oh…c’mon…nerdy…we all can lern 2gthr… :P I and ethan r cumin’ ovr… luv ya… xx <3

Me: I hav no othr choice ryt… yh..cum over… J  luv ya..too… xx

                     They both were really cool, I loved them coming over. Ethan was really funny, could make you smile anytime, crazy, wild, would get straight to the point wouldn’t beat around the bush, that what I like about him, he is very confident. Emma, she was crazy, a bit bitchy but caring, wild, lovable, very sweet, always ready to help anyone, kind and generous. We three were best friends.

         It was a twenty minutes’ drive from their home to mine. Before they come, I thought I will practice myself, and then it would be easier for me to explain them. Ethan was good at it, but when it came to Emma, she was pretty good at other all subject, but when it came to pre-calculus, she was a dumbass, no offense to my friend. I try to stay attentive in the class, but Emma she always was playing Flappy bird, and Ethan was always texting his girlfriend. Yeah, Ethan has a girlfriend, Julia. She is pretty, with shoulder length blonde hair, big blue eyes, thick and plump red lips, slim, and fit, girls are jealous of her for her body, boys try wanted her to be theirs. I really do not know how she puts up with Ethan, he is a good guy, but ridiculously childish. The best comedian, I ever met.

                                When I heard the bell ring, I didn’t run to open the door, hey don’t think anything bad, but I don’t want them to feel like I have been waiting for them, but I am really waiting for them, so waited for 10 seconds before going down to open the door for them. I opened the door to see the grinning twins, if it was not for their gender difference, then you cannot actually know from them from each other. They both have the same smile, both have the same hazel eyes, snobby nose, both were tall, but Emma was some inches shorter than Ethan was.

“Hi Evana, my lil’ princess” It was Ethan’s name for me, he always called me like that. He greeted me Hugging tightly. I loved his hugs. He was damn taller than I was a big brotherly hug, which I never got, as I did not have any big brother.

“Hello small E” Emma also hugged me, she had three big packets of Lays chips spicy, damn I loved these chips soo much “ thought we would bring snacks, we can have it while the study break” she said.

“Yeah, sure whatever you say” I rolled my eyes at them. I know that even if they came here for studies, we would not barely study. We would actually fight over random things, talk about random things, and talk rubbish, anything but not studies. They both just laughed at me, because they know what is going to happen. 

“Let’s go to your room,” said Ethan, already climbing the stairs two at a time.

“I’ll grab something to drink,” I said pointing to the kitchen.

                     Emma also, followed Ethen. I went to kitchen, opened the fridge to see what was in it. Ahaa, there was mango juice, with pulp. We three loved it like hell. I grabbed three bottles and ran to my room, climbing three steps at a time. Ethan was lying on my bed looking through my sketchbook. Yeah, I love designing, calligraphy, and drawing nature.

“Wow! This is really wonderful!” exclaimed Ethan looking at the picture I last drew. Emma went to look at the picture. It was a picture of a small girl on the swing in garden, birds, and butterflies flying around. “Damn girl, you are really talented!”

                   Emma snatched my sketchbook from him.

“Hey! If there is a small wrinkle, then I am going to strangle you,” I shouted at her.

            Ethan started laughing at my reaction. “Em, back up, or else you will end in crutches like Jake did”

         I narrowed my eyes at him. I remember, a month I after joined, a jerk, Jake, he is popular at school, plays football. He tried to puncture my car tire. God, I was so angry I caught him on the collar of the shirt, pushed him, punched so hard, he got a black eye, fractured leg, and I ended up with suspension for a week. No one dares to touch my baby. After that, no one actually bothered me. When I first came here, I was always got bullied.

“Hey! What” Ethan was laughing hard at me “you punched him likeJohn Cena.”

He had a kind of laugh, which would make you also laugh. I tried to keep a straight face, but, epic fail, Emma was also laughing at me, how I was trying to keep my face straight. We three were having at fit of laughter. When suddenly Emma thought to be serious,

“Hey guys stop laughing,” she said, her hands on her hip “We need to study for tomorrows test. Now be serious”

“Yeah, what is this Evana? Laughing for no reason like a maniac, I am disappointed in you Evana, really,” Ethan said, mocking his sister, he shook his head in disappointment. However, ended up laughing again.

          Emma really got pissed at her brother’s reaction, and then the siblings started fighting. From experience, I know not to get in the way of a siblings fight. Well, their fight did really entertain me. They both fight a lot. For everything, silly reasons, they would fight.

“No T. V show ever entertained me this much,” I said, finally, chuckling.

             They both suddenly turned towards me, I think they really forgot that I was there. Ethan smirked, “Oh, lil’ princess, but I don’t think you friend is entertained” he said looking at Emma; she was red faced with anger, he just winked at me. I just laughed at her reaction. He always called me lil’ princess, because, when he first met me, he said I looked really beautiful, I looked like a princess. From that day onwards he called me lil’ princess.

“Oh, yeah” she grabbed my hand, toward my study table “now let’s study, please, I need to score at least a B tomorrow, or I will fail” she pleaded me.

“Let’s get studying,” I agreed with. Ethan had no other option, but to agree with us.

           Ethan kept on annoying us, but we just ignored him, so finally, he stopped, but after 10 minutes of studying, he thought to interrupt us again “hey I’m hungry”

“Oh, hi hungry, I am Emma!” Emma made fun of him “nice to meet you!”

“Ha, ha, ha - very funny, very funny,” Ethan clapped his hands “you lame’o.”  

        I knew they were again going to fight, so I told them “La, have made some food, let’s all eat it. It’s in the oven.”

“Oh’ my lil princess” with that he ran out of the room. I sighed my crazy friend. We also went with him. They left by 11’o clock. We actually had fun, fighting, eating, but did no more studies, we just had fun. Still Noah and Lauren have not come. Let them have fun. I just went to bed.

Today was fun.

Waiting for another day, for another day’s torture.
