She wisped "hello" my dad turned to me, I can say he was furious I am guessing because - why is there a girl on my door, but as soon as he saw my face he knew I had no idea.
But out of nowhere, Sophie came out "hi" and an older lady, maybe a couple of years older than my dad with a dashing smile and a 2-year-old baby on her hip.
"Well hello, new neighbor."
This was like a twilight zone. My dad was numb. He shook his head and spoke a soft "Hello."
The lady started to talk " Sorry for bursting like this but Sophie told me what happened at school and Lilly clarified to me so I wanted to see if your boy is ok and give him one hell of a thank you. I hope you got him good." I was a second away from smiling like an idiot.
My dad looked in ave, what the hell is happening.
" I can see you are in the middle of something. We just came here to introduce ourselves. I am Marina but everyone calls me Nana, this is Boby'' she bounced the cute boy, "the cute girl is Sophie, that I am guessing your son already knows and this is Lilly."
Everyone had a bright smile even scared Lilly had a shy smile on.
Something snapped my dad out of trance " I am sorry you caught us by surprise My name is Daniel and this is my son Aron, please come in.
That is when Sophie whispered can we give them cookies now?''
I started smiling, and after a long time, I had a sincere smile.
Nana responded "Yes Sophie you can give them cookies now, we do not want to bother you we just came here to introduce yourself and say thank you, to your son. If you ever need anything let me know." Sophie gave me a big plate of cookies and an even bigger smile.
From the corner of my eye, I could not stop looking at Lilly. She was beautiful but it was not like Natalia, Natalia was like a model-actress, Lily had something, beyond beauty, like, she was nothing special, no feature that stands out but altogether she had something appealing about her. I am sure from her blush she knew I was looking at her. I smiled again and I couldn't help myself, I thanked Sophie for the cookies and looking at Lilly I told her see you around. If possible she blushed even harder, I think she was going to explode how red she was.
When Nana told goodbye to my dad Lilly almost ran. My dad closed the door and we started laughing, like an honest laugh, "Well I did not expect that."
I could see in his eyes he was on the verge, just like me.
He exhaled "I am trying here son, I am trying to get our money back, make things right for you I just need from you to understand and to be patient. That is all I ask."
I shook my head " I know dad it is just like I have no perspective like I have no idea what I will do. My life was run by money and now …
" Just try son, that is all I ask, I might never get our money, I will try but I might fail. I still want you to succeed to be the best you can, have some passion in life that will push you with money or without".
After the conversation I went to the gym, I needed to let out some steam. As I was running on the treadmill, I started to think. I was never engaged in life, it was just passing by and at the time it was good, but now it has no meaning. I remembered when I was a boy I wanted to be a doctor. I would play with the nannies, I even have a picture of me in a white coat with my nanny. That dream disappeared when my mom told me it takes too much time and effort to finish it, I will be too old and it's just not worth it. It is better to be a businessman like my dad, rich and successful at a young age. Now looking at things maybe I could try to get into a medical school. I had good grades, I can keep it up for one year, I will need a scholarship.If I start with football maybe I could get something there. I caught myself planning my life. I have to say I got a bit excited. Finished my workout and went home.
It is a start, I do not want to get my hopes up but it is better than nothing.
I almost did not sleep last night. I was struggling with myself should I do something or just let everything go. I had arguments on both sides. Getting up I decided to try, I already tried doing nothing so I could try to do something. I took a shower, got dressed and walked outside, I saw Lilly, deciding to start my day with a kik I waved at her, just to see her blush, oh and she did.
I could not sleep, Tom never replied to my message, but I really think he sent it just to piss me off. I know he was never with Nat before, but I know he wanted to, hell the whole school wanted to. How stupid she must be to fall for a guy like him really, I was no saint, but really. I had no words, his life now is what I had. I was so mad, I knew I had to get out, take
When I parked my car at the school parking lot Keith approached me "Hey, I will not bother you I can see you are - leave me alone kinda guy, but just wanted to say thanks for joining the team we really neeeeeed players, see you on the field later."I was still under the influence of the conversation from last night so when he smiled I just stood there again b
It was Saturday morning and I was laying in my bed thinking what can I do, well it was more what should I do. It is not like I can ask someone for advice. That is when I realized, I have no one to talk to, no one to help me but strangely enough, it is not making me feel bad. It is just lonely I guess. Maybe I could ask my dad, wait I can ask Keith, he seems nice, he is on the team, he should be the right person to call.
It was Sunday, the game day. We stayed up until 3 am last night, we talked, tried to see what I can play, it was difficult but I have to say it was fun, it felt normal. I got up, took a shower, got dressed, and went down to have breakfast, well since it is noon more like lunch. Oh yeah, not to forget I have to remind my dad about the game, what do you know he might have fun.
Do you want to know what is new, we won the game, let me say it again WE WON THE GAME! When we won, at first it was more of a shock, I could see that the coach did not know what to do. He looked left and right than us.The opposite team congratulated us when we were back to earth and their coach shook hands with our shocked coach. When we went to shower and change the
The morning was horrible. I was so tired, all I wanted to do is sleep, but let’s get this day rolling, it might be fun. I took a shower and grabbed a large cup of coffee and went to school. What I thought might be a good day turned out to be really bad from the beginning. I was welcomed by the basketball team in the parking lot.Darren approached me when he s
My dad had to come to my room to check on me since I entered the house like a crazy person. My dad knocked on the door. “Son everything ok?”
