It's Saturday and I'm doing homework. My laptop is on. I have Facebook up on one of the tabs, research on the other three tabs and Skype on the last tab. I Skyped my dad earlier. His doing well. His signed two contracts this week for some big tech companies. I made sure his been eating and is well in himself. He asked how schools been. I told him about what happened with the girls and he was furious. He asked if I wanted him to come home. Of course I declined!
I finish off my science homework then scroll through facebook. Liking and sharing posts. Watching comedy videos and talking with my aunt.
A message request pops up. I barely have any friends on Facebook so getting a message request is a bit unusual. I click on it and there's a long message.
- hey Abby, it's Natalie 🖐️
I hope you remember me from school.
We sat together for that boring lunch doing work under the watchful eye of Mr Sinclair. Remember?
Well anyway I hope you don't mind me messaging you but I need some help!!
Mr Sinclair gave me extra homework for math and history. It sucks! I've completed the math but I'm stuck on the history. It's a whole heap of questions on the slave trade. Please help...
I chuckle reading the message then reply
- sure, do you want to come over? My address is...
She replies within a few minutes
- omg girl your a life saver!! I'll be there in 10
I drink a cup of coffee while I wait for Natalie to arrive. It's not long before there's a knock at the door. I open the door to Natalie. She's wearing fluorescent yellow leggings and a work out top. I'm pretty sure she's been to the gym.
'Hey girl, thanks so much for this' she says walking in. We sit in my room for a few hours doing work. When it starts getting dark she gets a call 'hey dad'... 'Yh I'm coming home' the call ends. She gets up collecting her work
'sorry, I've gotta go, thanks for today'
'you going to be able to finish the rest of the questions on your own?' I ask.
'I'll figure it out, thanks again Abby' she calls over her shoulder walking out.
Once she's gone I have a long hot bath. With a fizzy apple bath bomb. It's one of my favourite ways to relax. After washing and soaking I get out and dry myself with my pink fluffy towel and get dressed in some fleece pyjamas. It's a little chilly.
I sit on the sofa and wrap myself up in a blanket to watch tv. When it hits 7pm I make myself a salad. I sit down and eat then head to bed. Mr Sinclair invading my dreams.
