the morning was calm... the knock on my door made me realize I had over slept "Kyler.... I'm off to work if you can hear me, your pancakes are inside the microwave... I also made dessert for u, I kept them in the fridge.. " I guessed he was expecting a reply, but I was still too sleepy to reply "okay my love" dad was the best ever... "okay dad take care.. I love you" I responded after yawning loudly... "I love you more , take care , make sure u shot the doors don't let anyone in... except me okay... it really dangerous out there"... he said , although his voice was fading gradually.... I knew he was heading downstairs.. I got up quickly and headed to the door "wait..." I jumped on him giving him a kiss " take care dad, don't be long" he smiled "I won't" he replied.

Now that dad , was gone, I went back to my room to freshing up, I guess I'll be resuming school on Monday... somehow I can't wait, some how I'm really nervous, but I know it would be fun. After eating my pancakes ... I took a novel to read it was titled " A NIGHT IN THE WOODS" well ... it narrates a guy who , got Lost after getting drunk at a near by friends hangout... well he strolled his way into the woods... because he saw someone who looked like his mum....and later having the worst nightmare.. happening to him.. kind of tragic but... I'm still reading though, Sigh the book somehow didn't satisfy the hunger I had growling up inside me, the hunger to explore the woods... I was scared and anxious at the same time... without further thoughts, I picked up my dessert and few of the remaining pancakes.. my camera and my too pair of shoes... the word "don't open the door for any body" echoed in my ears, was it bad enough that I was the one going out, going into danger, well.... I won't be long .. after all I was bored.

It didn't take me long, I was already into the woods... I drove my dad Toyota Camry car... well .... yea I had a driver's license.... the sight of the trees , flowers old houses, bare roads... just got me remembering those old , cowboys stories... well I didn't forgot to take few shots and make a short clip videos .... i reversed. to take a sight seeing over my new school.... it was really big and beautiful, I parked my car...at the parking lot....i wanted to get a little glimpse of what the school might look like, i saw some students at the packing lot too , not much things to see I thought... I guess classes were on.. so I decided to head back home... I pulled up and *SCREEEEEW* I heard a glitch... I turned to see I had hit a car.... sigh I had to get out of here, I drove pretty fast out of there... till I got home without turning back. Dad wasn't still back jeez , I sighed.. how clumsy can I be ... I thought... I really thought I'll take much longer time, sight seeing, but I didnt

want to cause more damage, I guess I had done enough. It was 9:00pm and dad wasn't still back, should I panic or just stay calm, I decided to give him a call...but he wasn't answering...pick up, pick-up....I murmured under my breath.. should I go to the station, would he be there, should I wait for him ...I was confused what if something has happened to him...what if

I hurried up to the door, great he was back I gave him a tight hug " hey .. take it easy" he hugged me back lifting me up... "we're u worried.. about me" he asked kissing my forehead " where were u dad... I called u severally" I queried ... maybe I must have sounded like his mum " well.. u know the work was much. so I had to stay with them to close some cases and even at that ... we still have a lot of cases untouched." what were this cases ... I thought anyway. my dad was home that was all that mattered. " I need to go shower , how are u... hope u stayed indoors " he asked with his eyes trying to scrutinize my entire body for an inch of lie... but I knew if I had told him the truth , he would be highly disappointed at me for sure.... " yes papa" he smiled... and stood up " I'm starving... u made anything" he asked , how selfish of me I forgot to prepare us dinner, " uhmmm , I'm sorry dad I slept off , but before ur done I'll fix us something to eat" I chipped in a smile " well , if u say so Kyler..." guess he was too tired to ask me why and how I forgot to prepare dinner.... well I had to hurry ... I too was starving. Well it didn't take long, I had prepared chicken sauce and rice, with fresh orange juice, I had set up the dinning for me and my dad.... I guess i'm really starving too.. "honey my stomach can't stop rumbling" he laughed as he came down the stairs... "well your right on time dad " without further conversation, he sat down ready to dig in, my dad for once sounded like a hungry lion devouring it prey... so I cut in " I'm I really resuming school tomorrow" he looked at me.. like trying to know why I had ask that question " you don't like the school" he asked " of course I love the school, it seems cool and a conducive area for learning " I think I was trying to encourage myself that it would be a great experience... going there " yes honey, I chose that school out of all because I know, they have great standard of learning and teaching, so u will enjoy yourself... trust me" he smiled at me. Well I had to prepare.. I'll be going to school tomorrow that was somehow exciting... and depressing... but I must give it a try. After dinner I cleared up the dinning and washed the dishes " Good night honey" my dad yelled on his way to the stairs .. I could imagine how tired he was... well I guess I had to go prepare for tomorrow then.. I strayed up to my room... setting the clothes and pair of shoes I would were, well I picked a nice pink flowering top and a leather mini skirt... with a pair of black boots... yes!!!.... I was set for this great adventure tomorrow "why was I nervous" I had to ask myself was it about the new friends I would make , was it about the ones who won't like me... well I has to wipe away that thought.... as I said to myself " everyone doesn't have to like me, after all I am not an ice cream"... after I was done arranging my school things, I went to bed with a smile.
