~Maria~

“Maria!! It's time for dinner”; my mom shouted from the kitchen so I could hear. “I'll be down soon”!! I replied in the same tune. I was tidying up my room when my brother ran into the room he jumped on the bed and yelled my name telling me to hurry.

“What are we having for dinner"? I asked my brother smiling. “We are having your favorites, chicken and chips” he replied happily.I could see the happiness in his eyes because his favorite food was also chicken and chips.

Okay Billy ,now you can leave my room. “Say please”, he said smiling.“Will you get the fuck out of my room now"?! I yelled at him pretending to be angry.“Okay okay okay ugly ass" he yelled back at me as he dashed out of the room . Thank you very much!! I laughed at him.

My younger brother and I had a good relationship we were like a twin. We fought a lot but we were best friends, because we had only each other.

“Phew! I'm finally done with tidying up”, I murmured to myself. I finally left my room to the dinning room.

I lived in a big house. Well,I had very rich parents. My parents were workaholics but they still managed to create time for us, they never neglected us, they always showed us the love any child deserved, even if it wasn't enough.

I climbed down the stairs in happiness.i was smiling because Imy brother had already told me what my mom prepared.

I got to the dinning room and saw lots of food. “Mom!! What's the occasion”? I asked in shock .“We are celebrating", my mom replied. “Have you forgotten? Since you passed your exam we haven't had the time to celebrate because you know I and your father is always busy with working"my mom replied smiling.

My mom was a beautiful woman in her late 40s . She was a melanin beauty who took care of her skin alot. She was also a tall woman and very strict too. As they say it, she was a no nonsense woman.

“We will also have wine",my mom said as she looked at my reaction.My mom knew me to be a wine lover. Immediately, I ran to the wine cellar before she changes her mind ,my mom smiled and at that moment I said to myself I've got the best mom in the whole world.

The wine cellar was a restricted place in my house,I don't get to go there except on special occasions like today.

I ran quickly to the wine cellar. It's funny how the wine cellar was one of my favorite place in the whole house. I always told myself that I would open a wine company when I grow up.

I quickly took out a bottle of st Louis wine which was non alcoholic.i have never taken alcohol before even though I want to, I can't.My parents were totally against it because they said I was a minor.

I also took out two bottles of eva wine for my parents and brother.My brother was not really a wine person.

I walked out of the wine cellar in a hurry to the dinning room.

“Mom, I've got the wine”, I placed the three bottles of wine on the table. I sat down to eat.“Mom please pass me the ketchup”. My mom passed the ketchup to me and I put a little bit of it in my chips to make it sweeter.

After we had dinner the maid then walked in to tidy up the place. Her name was Rose . She was a very obedient and gentle girl, even if my mom treats her harshly sometimes she never once took it out on me.

We were close but not too close.i took her as a friend.My mom always looks down on her a lot which I didn't like but there was nothing I could do. Yes,my mom was that type of person.

I left to my room immediately after dinner, I was the kind of girl that loved being alone.I was not a loner, I just sometimes enjoy some peace and quiet.

I got to my room, unlocked the door and walked in. I walked to my cupboard, pulled my clothes cause I was putting on a gown and I'm not the kind of person that loves sleeping with a gown. So I changed to a white crop top with a multi color boxers.

“I'm so tired but I have to revise my notes because Mom told me to”, I told myself in a tiring tone.

I checked for my books then placed them on my reading table,I sat down and just revised for some few minutes before I retired for the day.

I did a little stretching with face yoga too.

“I need a phone, I'm so tired.All my friends in school owns a phone besides me” .I was so sad about it.I have always wanted a phone but I couldn't tell my mom because she always said it was a distraction.

There was even a time I tried convincing her that it won't distract me but she didn't adhere to me. So since then I stopped talking about it to her.

As I was deep in thoughts I slept off.
