Life ain't so bad when you always look at the bright side. Only a few days left until my prom. Stress is what I have been avoiding since I haven't been having any luck finding a dress I want. If it's not the expensive material, it's the designer not being able to put together the pieces I want. I would not say I haven't been stressed, but. Hope is what has been letting me focus.

It's been a week since I last saw Tlo. Last week since I was not doing anything, he took me out for lunch. It's always remarkable to be around him. He makes me forget about everything.

Today is a big day for me. I have to go to the tailor my father found. His work is spectacular, he is a busy man too. His schedule looked occupied, but my dad put a world for me. All I had to do was to pick myself up and start with my hygiene process.

I placed my phone over the drawer and kicked my sheets on the side of the bed and made my way. I wore my morning shoes and lazily walked to the bathroom. As I was about to open the bathroom door, I noticed it was looked. I then knocked twice.

"Still bathing, sleepy heard." my big brother said with humor in it.

"You should be thanking your alarm, bro" I scoffed as I turned my back to the bathroom. I slowly walked to my room and started making my bed. I picked all the stuff on the floor.it wasn't much, since I am a clean freak. I hate having to share my room with my baby sister.

Furthermore, I wonder why don't they just extend the house. It won't only benefit them but me too. With that, I won't have to share my personal space with my baby sister. I scrolled to my closet to pick what I was going to wear. I took several outfits out since I was still skeptical about what to put on. I took out my pajamas and took my bath towel and wrapped my body with it.

I walked back to the bathroom and my brother was finally out. I brushed my teeth effortlessly. When I finished, I opened the water on the tub and got in. I socked myself in and decided to be serious. I bathed every inch of my body with care. When I was finally done, I dried my body and washed the tin, and found my way out of the bathroom.

When I got into my room, I found my sister still sleeping. I tried not to make any possible noise for her. I massaged my body with lotion. I tried all the outfits that I took out, but I still couldn't settle on one. I put back everything and took out my back dress with my back half-cut Air Force and tried it out, not that I was pleased, but it was not bad at all. I wore my earrings with the gold necklace that I recently bought with my friend. I put on my lip gloss since I am not that girl who likes make-up, not that I don't put it, but I find it difficult to walk around with makeup on.

Not only that, but I took my phone on the table and sat on my bed, I browsed on social media and checked everything. When I was done, I walked to the kitchen and found mom and dad still around, not that I have been avoiding them. It's just that they were putting pressure on me about my metric studies.

"Good morning" A smile followed as I was walked to the cupboard and took out a bowl.

"You look good in that dress" mom and dad said conservatively. I did what I do best and gave them a smile that was followed by a "Thank You".

I took out the weet-bix and took out the melted ice cream too. That might sound disturbing for one that uses milk, it's just that I don't like the smell of fresh milk. I am not allergic to milk or anything.

I pulled out two biscuits of Weet-bixs and placed them in the bowl and topped it off with melted vanilla ice cream. I ate on the kitchen counter while my parents looked at me. Furthermore, I ignored them and continued eating. While I was about to finish, my father told me that he was going to drop me off, so I had to finish my breakfast in his car. I kissed my mom and left with my dad.

I continued eating until I finished without any disturbance… I held my plate when I finished eating, but my father took it out and placed it in the back seat. We continued with a silent drive, but I had to do something. He is not a bad person here, but I am. I can't be angry at him for loving my mom and them having to move in together. My mom seemed genuinely happy, so I had to be happy for her.

"You prettily a good stepdad hey. I just want to say sorry for the bad that I once caused in the house, I just wanted to protect her. I know that you might hate me yet still tolerate my nonsense. You are a great Wed not only to my siblings but to me too, so thank you for everything, I appreciate you" It is never easy to apologize, but I am glad I had to let all those words out.

"You are loosening up now. I love the tough you. You see that Zee makes me see the resemblance of your mother when we started dating. But I am finally glad you are coming alright with us being together, thanks kiddo. I apologize for being hard on you sometimes, "Finally for the first time I could see his smile. That overwhelmed my heart.

"No biggie as long as we cool" I gave him a big five. We then started talking, and the car was filled with laughter.

When we finished arriving, he walked me in and left me with the measurement lady. When we were done I have shown them what I wanted, and I was happy with their answer since they were going to take what I wanted?

My dad and friend spoke as I walked to the car. When he finally arrived, I was busy on my phone letting Tlo know that I was going to meet with him after an hour.

"I'm sorry, kept you waiting," he said as he got inside the car.

"It's all okay, but can you kindly drop me somewhere instead of home."? I politely asked.

"I guess , I don't have a choice" He started the car and drove off.
