S.O.L #17 A Busy Day...

Today was a short day, since it's Wednesday (my 2nd favorite day of the school days). I sat in the stairs in the elementary school, waiting for Mom to pick me up.I had to stay after school, since my sister, Minjeong--the one I tell you a lot about--ordered me to. Mom came in time, as we all went our friends house--Sarah, Yohana, and Susana.

They live close so It didnt take us more than 5 minutes. We met their mothers, who just came back from her work. She told my mom that she was bored, and wanted Mom to come in. I kknew Mom was tired, but to be polite, she said she would. I wasnt had couldnt go to the CCA Cristian thing only my sister because Mom wanted me to help her take care of the baby since she was tired. I couldnt refuse, but just do as I was told. But now Im here, kind of regretting I had come to this house to "play".

I saw Susana--who was on Sarahs bed--sleeping. Yohana was there, with Poppy(her white fur poodle) on her lap, and Sarah playing Guitar. But I saw a face I hadnt seem before. Her name was Kelly( I dont know if thats how you spell her name though...), she was Sarahs friend in CCA. I was quite glad to meet her. Her personality is nice, polite, not a raicist, loves korean food, and loves us:) We chatted in Sarahs room for a while and then decided to go to the living room to do their hw. I didnt have any hw, so I just watchen them talk, eat, talk, and then realize they are talking about something NOT part of the hw they had to do...I was bored, so I just sat on an arm chair, swinging back and forth, closing my eyes. I sat there, about 30 minutes I shall say, or was it more?

My stomach was begging for food, and that made me MORE grumpy...I realized they were off to their own world, leaving me out since I wasnt in the table "studying" with them. I got off the arm chair, and sat on the chair, and just found something to touch in the table: a small calendar.

"Yeji, are you ok? You seemed pissed off...Do you want something? Food? Whats wrong?" Sarah asked, FINALLY knowing there was A LOT wrong with me being bored out of my mind.

" No, Im fine, I dont want anything" I lied softly, not meeting her eyes. I WAS mad and I WAS bored and I AM still bored. Why cant she even know that from the first look at me? Isnt it soooooooo obvious that she didnt even offered me a snack which she did to Minjeong? I hadnt ate for 4 hours after school was over and I'd usually eat something. My mind was steaming and hot, I wished so badly to go home and make something to eat.

I saw Mom get up. I was releaved, as I rushed through the door, and went on the car. Mom soon came along, telling them Goodbye. I only waved my arms, honestly not wanting to say"bye" to them...Minjeong was still there, and I bet she didnt even know I was gone home. I told mom about how I felt and how hungry I was. I felt like crying, and Im sure mom noticed that after 2 seconds(she reads my mind really fast).

"Yeji, I'll part infront of the subway and you go inside and buy whatever you want to buy ok?" Mom said, trying her best to chear me up.

"Thank you!!!" I cried out. I ran to the subway as fast as my legs could bring me and you dont know what happened. Spanish just poured out of my mouth, with out me needing to pause to catch my breath. When I was done paying the waitress, I went back to where mom had parcked her car and opened my subway food that I had bought. I took a bite, and felt the warm bread, beef, tomatoe, cheese, cucumber, sauce melt down my throat. I felt like in heaven, and my mood changed immediately:) I was so thankful for a great mom who bought me this, and all the way to my apartment, I was eating this sandwhich, wondering what it would have been If I had to stay in Sarahs house...Starving I guess. I dont regret going home AT ALL:)
