Chapter 11: Weekends

                       Chapter 11

Hmmm, its weekend, and I've Been weak all morning. Thanks to the tedious school week I had. Right now its way past 10 am and I'm still on the sofa I fell asleep last night while Hazel was on the floor doing school work. And it baffled me how Hazel really likes school.

Just as I snuggled in to get more comfortable on the sofa I tumbled off the sofa landing on the floor. Hazel took this moment to laugh at me.

It is Saturday Morning which means Saturday routines. Going over everything like I usually do which is laundry, mowing the lawn, taking out the trash, and a few other things. 

3:25pm

Once I was done with the whole Saturday routine I had to change from being the stench in the house, even Hazel Already hit the shower before I did.

Realizing I was the only one still in Morning clothes I decided to hit the shower as well. I shampooed my hair and washed my self thoroughly in other to get all the stench my sweat had caused.

Once the mission was accomplished, I moved over to my dressing area and put on one of my gray baggiest tops and my pitch knee-length shorts. Moving on to my hair, I let my hair flow in rough waves down my shoulder to my waist.  

Just when I was almost done, Something hit my nostrils as the aroma of something different, something delicious, something... that is soo not like my mom's cooking.

With that in mind praying and hoping she wasn't cooking something from one of her numerous cooking shows. I dash downstairs in a hurry to save everyone from eating one of her cooking disaster jumping a few stairs when need, how I didn't trip on any stairs I don't know.

On getting there I totally freeze at the sigh of my mom and Hazel having a heart to heart cooking session, with Hazel directing my mom on what and what not to do while she dices a few ingredients.

Wow turns out... They bounded pretty well I thought to myself. I smiled at the thoughts of them being good friends at the end of the day Even though they started on a very rough note.

I was going to interrupt them but I thought better of it I was more interested in the 'thing' that was singing a very danceable song in the parlor.

On getting there the song had stopped. I shrugged it off nonchalantly as I went toward the TV to pick up the remote. I sat on the couch opposite the TV to get a good view of it.

Just as I got comfy in it I heard the blazing sound of the 'thing' again and this caused me to jump out of my sit hitting my butts on the floor due to the impact.

"Relax Uwana its just a text message from oh. My. Gosh!!! Hugo!!!!! No wayyyy!!!!!"

"It is... Wait how did you... What is that thing you are holding? and why do you Even have it!!! Urgh, it is so evil!! It made me hit my butt on the floor"

"Hmmmm true in some case, but right now this phone is soo not evil."

"Urgh I soo do not want to be involved in this right now, but I have to ask because it'll be rude if I don't, soo what does it say"

I drew in a tried voice since I have zeroed my mind to the point that nothing good could come out of that 'thing' she is holding which I secretly call metal objects.

" Okay okay okay, I'll read. It says... Hi cherry, you know who it is. party at my place tonight at 10 and Ps bring along with you that girlfriend of yours, shimmering light  ; )"

And Hazel squeaked excitedly jumping up and down like someone who lost control and is about going for her very first high school party.

Oh, wait it is her very first high school party I said within my thoughts. Apparently, that's the case here because in between her squeaks she said something that proved my thoughts right. I rolled my eyes at this and I make an efforts to calm her down telling her

"Hey, it's just a dumb party."

Immediately I said that her mood changes into one of hurt and heartbreak, she begin to give me a lecture on why parties are not dumb.

"You see Uwana the thing about the party is..."

" Uwana come help dear mother set the table "

My mom interrupted her in the middle of her speech and spared me the trouble of having to listen to her perspective of parties especially when it's the school's popular kid who sends an invitation to your personal phone numbers.

Still clueless on how the whole scenario worked out but who cares right now all I know is lunch is ready and I'm about to dig in.

I walked briskly to the kitchen to do what my mom asked and Hazel followed suite and helping me set the table for three of us.

We all ate to our satisfaction coconut rice with beef, as we were rounding up, Hazel got a new text From Hugo which caused her to grin wildly.

I roll my eyes at her and attended to the dished since we were all done eating. Afterward, I went up to my room to do a little studying and Hazel follow me leaving my mom in the parlor with her favorite series my wife and kids.

"Don't tell me you are not going Uwana"

" What... I wouldn't tell you that. I'll just keep my location at 10 o'clock to myself "

I responded in a very dramatic tone.

"C'mon Uwana please I really need you to come with, see it's my first high school party and I really wouldn't want to go alone just in case I get kidded out, I'll have a shoulder to cry on"

She said with here most angelic puppy face. But sadly for her, I couldn't fall for it for I knew it wouldn't have a great ending, that is for sure.

I had the same experience once while in kindergarten. I was still in Tanzania then. It was a horrible horrible experience and it ruins parties for me forever.

" Hazel you know I love you right, and I'd really wouldn't want you getting hurt. Especially at that dumb party, you are going for"

" Really so... So you'll come with "

She said within soo much hope in are eye I was worry there was so much hope that I feared her eyes could break. So I had to save her eyes and break the hopes in them instead.

" Urrrrr "

"Pls Uwana "

"Errrrrrm"

"C'mon on Uwana just say it "

"NO"

"No???"

"Yea you heard me No because this party is a Terrible Idea and Someday your gone thank me for it. But on the other hand, I have something else that wouldn't be such a Terrible Idea"

"Urgh what other great idea do you have that could compete with going to Hugo's party"

"Oh, it's a great idea to see you known that ' thing' that. That alerted you that you got a text or well it sort of informed you that Hugo wants you to be at a party without, him actually finding you to tell you himself how did that 'thing' how did it happen"

"Wait are you trying to talk about my android phone"

As she said that statement she brings out her phone to back it up

"Yea that's the one it scared the peaches out of me when I head it sing out of nowhere. What's it's called again"

"Its call a phone aka GSM meaning global system for mobile communication.  but the upgrades one is called an Android phone. Its the only thing you could use to communicate with people far and near.

But right now I'd rather move this topic to some other time because now I need to mourn the fact that I'm missing a personal invitation to the one-party of my life because I'm scared it will be terrible."

" Hahahaha...you'll be fine Hazel you got me. Besides we could do our own Hazel and Uwana party right here in my room, you know read books tell stories."

I said with much need enthusiasm. She laughed at me and smiled, I smiled at her as well. If only she knew the true reason why I didn't want her to experience this party. I just had a feeling that this party would go wrong in every way.

"You want tea "

"Yes please with two tea bags and a piece of fruit bread with lots of strawberry jam"

She said with a huge grin and a slight Chuckle. I laughed a little and shakes my head at her response.

"Hmmm at your service ma'am"
