That Was When We Were 7
Chappie 7- Chilling at the beach!
I didn’t realise that I had money stuffed in my pocket right down that you couldn’t even feel it, Cana had paid for my bus fee and now she was giving me an ‘are-you-kidding-me’ glare. I smiled innocently and promised to pay her back with an ice-cream, she was clearly offended by my pay back after all she had a strict diet and she already had something sweet today and she doesn’t want more, buuuttt I bribed her anyways. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
I had this image going around in my head of these cheerleaders in one of those American movies and I have always wanted to try cheerleading, must be pretty cool! I must have had a really retarded face on because I heard stifled laughter. I snapped out of my daydream and looked at my friends faces. I smiled; happy I could spend this last moment like this.
Not like I was going to die or anything.
It felt like we had gone and bought everything from the store. I was now changed into a baggy white Aztec printed top and pale denim torn shorts that had silver studs that ran along the side. I wore a sky blue strapless bikini set underneath and at the moment was carrying what felt like 20 million bags in my hands now, added from this morning’s lot. I felt like I was carrying half of the belongings from a mall in my hands, I am still surprised that I had the strength to lift this stuff, must be thanks to soccer training and my fitness program at home.
The others were helping me with the bags as well but most gave up so I was stuck with them in the end. Where am I supposed to put the bags when we go swimming? Maybe the lifeguards will look after them for me as a favour and I will donate some money for them! I grinned and turned to Kaley. She had a couple of my bags in my hands and was happily skipping with Bailey and Jaime discussing about something to do with cotton candy only made out of sugar?
I smiled and looked around. We were almost at the stairs that lead down to the beach but my concern was the thing about my bags. I can’t just leave them on the beach while we are all out in the water, what if somebody takes it when I am not looking?! I kept thinking about the lifeguards and donating thought buzzing about in my head.
“Hey uh Lib I can’t swim today, I am sooooo sorry!” I looked at Haley and pouted.
“Why’s that? Is it your thingy ma bobby wobby that I am sure you don’t want to discuss about because it is a personal affair and it is that thing that comes every month and you probably feel uncomfortable talking about it so you just said I can’t swim hoping that I wouldn’t ask you why and go on a ramble about utter rubbish and I will shut up now” I shut my mouth instantly after going on a stupid ramble and watched a huge smile appear on Haley’s face.
“Dang girl how’d ya know? Yea I can’t so if you want I can look after your bags and everyone else’s” she smiled, a hint of disappointment in her voice. I felt so bad I didn’t want her to miss out on the fun and I didn’t want to just leave her there with the bags while we were all out in the water. I finally came up with an idea.
“Actually you know what don’t worry about it! I will be sitting with you after all and we can talk and watch everyone play because I don’t want you to be alone stuck with this shit” I displayed the bags in my hand “besides we can spend some quality time together since you can’t go to the airport and say bye” I winked. She grinned then nodded grabbing a few bags from my hands and clutching them in her own.
“I still don’t get why your mum wants to move back to London. It’s weird cos you guys moved here a couple of years ago and then out of the blue you are going to go back and live in London! Did your mum find work there or something or was it just a decision involving economic shit?’ she asked.
“To be honest I have no idea whatsoever! I mean like I do know why she wants to move there but I don’t know what happened in London that made her move here and I don’t know what happened now. All I can do is just agree with her and say yea sure. It makes me feel like she doesn’t care though, but I can’t do anything about it and there is no time to tell her I don’t want to go” I whispered and looked at the ground. I wanted to visit my home place but I also really didn’t want to leave this home place and lose all my friends and the things I held soooo close to me, things that weaved their way into my heart like the Harbour Bridge it is fantastic and beautiful, the strange flora and fauna, the magnific little things in this country.
I felt scared. What if the people in London aren’t what they seem in the movies? Yes I watched a few movies involving British people but still! I was nervous about my new school, after all I am finishing off year 12 there but dang I have never felt so nervous about people’s opinion in my life! I am usually the carefree type who doesn’t care about what people think but I am insecure when it comes to meeting people…that’s the only problem about me…I think.
The others went into the water while I stayed with Haley, just chillin on the beach, talking, breathing blinking the usual. I talked to her about school, life, at home, just basic everyday talks and we had those crazy fangirling moments and then suddenly went back to normal talk. It felt awkward ever now and then and I definitely tried to avoid them by saying the most randomest things. Haley sat staring out at the water, watching our friends splashing around. I looked at her every 10 seconds. I don’t know why. After a while I think she noticed because she turned to face me.
“I’m going to miss you sooooo much Libby” she said smiling.
“I’ll miss you too, love” I replied and hugged her. “You just started speaking British what happened to the Aussie talk?” she laughed. “Well I’ve always had a British accent but I guess the way I talk is you know” I laughed. We hugged for ages. Jeez, I was going to miss this girl. I felt someone hit my back. I turned my head and saw the rest of my friends.
They stood there for a second or so before deciding to join in our fantabulous moment. Is fantabulous a word? Oh well, it is now. We started leaning on one side and doing a sort of ‘stacks on’ type thingie. Every one of us giggling and screaming. I heard my phone buzz. I pulled it out of my pocket, trying not to make every one fall more on top of me. SHIT. It was nearly 5:30.
“I’m so sorry lovely children but I must disappear back to my lovely mum and eat some scrumptious food” I said trying to get up.
“No you may never leave” Jamie said.
“When can I leave your captivity?” I asked feeling the weight bear down on me.
“When you decide to stay in this country” Haley said.
“I wish I could but I seriously need to go home now” I said pouting. I really didn’t want to leave. I seriously didn’t. But my mum said I had to. And she also said I have to be home by 6.
“I’ll catch a bus back with you. I should probably go home as well” Kaley said. I nodded and we walked up to the bus stop again.
I can’t believe I won’t be here tomorrow. In this country. It’s sad. But life moves on. I just don’t want to go to London again.
