What are the impossible things, a human can't do? What came to your mind right now ? Flying , invisibility or maybe the ability to read minds , it's 7 Am and what seems impossible for me at the moment is to get out of bed.
It's first day of senior year , yes school is coming to an end , and I can't wait to get to collage. I mean I've always had a plan and it begins when college starts , get a degree then get a job then find a husband , have kids and to settle down. This is the cycle which I look forward to achieve.
I know it's not interesting but I aim for a happy family , I aim to have the chance that my father always wanted to go through.
I sigh and remove the covers off me and got out of bed , and went to the bathroom.
I looked in the mirror and said to myself "one more year to go."
I brushed my teeth , washed my face and got out and took the clothes I prepared yesterday to wear .
Most of My clothes are basic , shirts and trousers and then again trousers and shirts, I just love the basics , I like how it's simple, and today it's a white shirt with black skinny jeans and combat boots.
I like to let my long brown hair down most of the time , so I brush it and put my favorite earrings on , Normally I love earrings , the shapes, the colors , simplicity or complexity I like it in all it's forms.
I study myself in the mirror and put some mascara and lip gloss on , then I grabbed my backpack.
Downstairs i find mom , making breakfast, that delicious smell never failed to amaze me.
"Goodmorning doc" I say to mom while helping her with the plates.
"Goodmorning bella , I've left the car keys on the table in the living room , and don't forget when you get to school , you have to tell me that you arrived " mom says with a teasing tone as she takes her bag and coat and says goodbye.
I roll my eyes and wave her goodbye.
I must admit , I'm a terrible driver , I learned how to drive during the holidays, so I'm still getting used to it.
After I finished eating, I lock the door and drive off to school.
While I was parking my phone rang.
"Where are you bella ?" Lily my friend impatiently says.
"I'm parking and Goodmorning to you too LiL" I say smiling.
"You drove here ? " she says in surprise.
"Yes I did and I'm doing an excellent job "
As I was positioning the car I heard someone shout from behind.
I panicked and got out of the car and While I was approaching It was
Arthur Williams , or Art like how everyone in school call him , We never talked but I knew about him well, everyone knew about him.
"First time driving ?" He says while looking at the car.
"no it's not , I'm still getting used to it , I'm sorry I didn't see you ,are you okay ?" I ask.
"I am okay, just be careful " he says as he walked away.
I took a breath out, and went to park the car.
I entered school and people were already flooding the corridors ,I found lily and Tyler waiting there by my locker , I smile because I love these two , I can't possibly imagine school without them , we've been friends since childhood, Lilly and Tyler are fraternal twins their father was my dad's best friend , so you can say we're very close since the day I opened my eyes.
"Bella , don't tell me that you wrecked the car while parking" Lilly says as she gives me a hug.
"It's possible We all know that she sucks in driving LiL" Tyler jokes while leaning his back on the locker.
"Hey I'm still learning , I'll be just fine but we all make mistakes and well today i was about to bump into art " I say as lily pulls away from me and gasps saying
"Arthur Williams ? Oh my god what happened ?" Lilly says while chucking.
"Nothing , he was okay , he told me to be careful and he left " I said opening my locker and getting my notebook out.
"He really is nice as they say, such a nice good looking guy" Lilly says dreamily.
"And ladies and gentlemen One more male victim added to the list. " Tyler says putting his arm on my shoulder. While Lilly shoots daggers at him.
"Tyler Miller , didn't I tell you to wait for me at the cafeteria ?" Bailey says,
Bailey is the , stereotype queen B , blue eyes and golden hair but without the mean attitude, unless someone interferes with what she wants. What's her relationship with Tyler ? They're on and off kind of relationship , they started dating in middle school and since then they've been on and off.
"I was about to go Bailey , no need to be angry" Tyler says as he whispers to us a "here we go again".
"Bella , lilly" Bailey says acknowledging us with a nod , as she intertwines her hands with Tyler ,they walk away.
"Let's hope they stay on this time , because I'm tired of the on and off drama " Lilly says sighing.
"Yes I do too " I say smiling.
It was first period , Lilly and I had literature together , we entered the classroom and it was already full , there were two places empty one at the Front and one at the back.
"You sit here Lilly I'll go sit at the back " I say , lilly just nods silently and sits.
I know she doesn't want to be near her ex boyfriend peter , after him ending the relationship because he was going to a far college in Seattle and Lilly applied here in Louisiana state university ,he can't handle long distance relationships. If you ask me that's such a cowardly thing to do , if your love is strong why would distance affect it? You'd always find a way back to each other no matter how far so I don't think it's a problem , I believe it's because of how peter's heart can change and if that's the reason I respect him backing out before they sink in so deep.
"Hey bella " Peter says.
"Hi peter , how are you?"
"I'm okay , Uhm how is she " he says looking at Lilly's back.
"She's okay " I say.
Peter smiles a sad smile but then focuses when the teacher comes in.
"Welcome back , everyone it's senior year and I hope we make it a year to remember so , Everyone please Open your novels on chapter 1" Mr. brad says while writing on the board.
As Mr.Brad goes through the novel ,I take notes , in my notebook , literature is one of my favorite lessons , it's what I'm going to major in when I go to college hopefully.
"Yes , Mr. Williams do you have a question?" Mr. brad says taking off his glasses.
I turn my head towards where art was sitting.
"You're saying killing a mockingbird is innocence being tortured or hurt ,when it faces evil, but I see that it relates to rules ,in which strict rules can ban things that are beautiful " Art says , his eyes never leaving the book in his hands.
"That's another expression that we can agree upon , Arthur , considering Harper lee meant to convey different meanings in her novel but it all ends with one concept which is moral values " Mr. brad says while Turing the page.
People in class ,were either on their phone or busy drawing doodles in their books or even sleeping , but Art was the only one focused not only in literature but in every class , ever since 7th grade the year he came as an exchange student , he was the one who asked intriguing questions , like his question in science class.
"how can a fly walk on the ceiling, when there's gravity ? " He was a curious kid and ever since, I always noticed him. His questions leaded me to my imagination's door.
The bell rang and people started leaving class.
"Missed me while sitting at the back " Lilly says.
"So so much , now let's go eat " I say taking my bag.
Lilly and I often sit at the bleachers , we like it there , because it's less crowded.
"look there's Tyler " Lilly says taking a bite from her sandwich.
"Yeah , there's tryouts for the football team today" I say.
I scan my eyes , over the field and spot art , and like every year he definitely was there to be captain of the football team .
The day went by fast and it was time to go home.
"Bella , i trust you with yourself and with my sister , drive carefully " Tyler says not wanting to leave lilly and I alone.
"Tyler it's okay I'll drive slowly" I say starting the engine.
"Hey , Ty Don't be late today you know it's uncle Dan's birthday and we'll have to go "Lilly says while putting on the seatbelt.
"I won't be late , coach wants us to stay an extra half an hour , now go before I get extra worried" Tyler says.
"Aye aye captain "I say as I drive away.
"Have fun at the party today " I say smiling as Lilly gets off the car.
"Very funny ,text me when you get home. "she glares at me as she says goodbye.
I reach home and find it empty , I guess mom is still busy at the hospital like everyday , I make dinner ready and put it in plastic boxes and decide to go to mom and have it with her. I'm a good cook thankfully , I like to make different meals whenever I have the chance.
When I arrive at the hospital ,I say my greetings to the people there ,mrs Dorothy green eyes and in the middle of her 40's the first floor receptionist , and Jeremy he was an orthopedic doctor ,he's 29 years old and i see him as my big brother, when I was small he used to play with me all the time before he succeeded and became a doctor, because mom had to bring me here , due to many night shifts so basically I grew up here , it's like an another world with limited colors of white and blue highlighting various stories and memories.
"Bella, how was school today?" Jeremy asks in excitement.
" you know The usual , I made it out alive " I say shortly.
"You sound like my great great grandma with that tone of your, where's the gossip ,where's the getting a hangover from a party so I can get you the hangover survival kit" Jeremy says in disbelief.
"Jeremey I'm having fun ,why do you think I come here , I know what I want " I smile.
"So the definition of fun now is going to hospitals ?" He protests.
"Yes seeing you and all of the good people in here is fun" I say and Jeremy rolls his eyes.
"So where's mom, I made us dinner " I say proudly showing him the box.
"And you didn't even make me some , no bella I'm hurt " he says putting his hand on his heart but on the right side.
"Jeremy your heart is on the left " I say laughing putting his hand on the right place.
"Whatever I'm hurt " he says.
"I'm sorry , I'll make it up to you next time I promise."
"Okay , as long as you make me my favorite "
"Spaghetti and meatballs" Jeremy and I say in union, we laugh and then I went to see mom in her office. Though there's a big age difference between me and Jeremy he never failed to be such a good friend , his humor and his support were always there, however he's a serious, firm person at work, he had nice brown hair and green eyes like ruby , he looked younger than his age , he was handsome that's why all his patients are all ladies.
I shake my head and went to knock on mom's door.
And when I enter , I place the food on her desk and organize the files which she left and put them in her drawers , then sit on the chair and adjust the picture frame which mom, dad and I were in.
I rub my finger on dad's face slowly , I can still hear his laugh echoing from the picture in front of me , I wiped the tear that fell on my cheek quickly when The door opened Figuring it was mom.
"Guess who came to have dinner with you" i say.
But it wasn't mom , it was the pair of hazel eyes and black silk hair with parted bangs which I was about to bump into this morning, it was art.
"Art?" I say surprised.
"I'm sorry but do I know you?" .
