"There's a volleyball try out this Monday,".
I ignored what Andrea said and just reached for my drinking bottle, we just finished playing volleyball. We started at eight in the morning and just ended now because they didn't want to stop playing earlier it's okay to me because I also want to play but exhausting.
"Hey did you hear me?," she asked.
I shook my head "Sorry, I didn't hear you properly,"
Aside from ignoring what she said, it's bit noisy on the court because there are others already playing basketball.
"I said there's a try out in volleyball this Monday,” she said.
"Oh about that my brother also told me yesterday" I said while nodding.
"Are you going to join?," She asked.
I shook my head "Nah I will focus on my studies first," I said "how about you are you going to join?"
She nodded "yep, I thought you would join that's why I asked you" she said.
I sighed "I don't want to play now because I want to focus on my studies first" I said.
She tsked "You used to combine playing and studying before and I'm sure you can still do it now," she said sound like convincing me.
I shook my head again "Drea, I really don't want to play right now and we're already in college. I will focus more on my studies I don't want to disappoint them" I said.
That is not the only reason why I don't want to play volleyball this year there are so many reasons...reasons that I badly want to forget.
"Okay but if you want to try out call me okay?," she said while smiling sweetly I nodded.
We talked about some stuffs until my phone rang.
When I saw who was calling I stood up and say goodbye to her.
I answered my brother's call as I left the court. "Raine, mom wants to talk to you," he said and I sighed "Tell her I'll be there after a few hours," I said.
"Okay, be careful" he said before dropping the call.
I continued walking until I saw my house. My house is in a subdivision own by Andrea's family. There is a court within this subdivision so many people come here to play especially teenagers same as my age, sometimes we also play there when it's too boring.
I lived here alone ever since I was in Senior High my mom and dad does not want me to leave our house but that was my decision so they both agreed even it's against their will. When i first moved here I wanted to go home right away because it was so quiet and I wasn't used being alone but I also got used to it after a long time.
When I got home I went straight to my bedroom to choose clothes to wear and to took a bath. My house is big so my room is also big, the bathroom is inside my room and there is still a big space because apart from the bed, closet, table, tv and aircon attached to the wall there is nothing else placed there.
After taking a bath, get dressed and fix myself I looked in the mirror to see myself, my long brown hair is curled at the end I put a light makeup on my face I also wear a white headband I smiled when I saw what I was wearing a white crop top and denim shorts I also wear a Chucks.When I was satisfied with looking at myself in the mirror I left the house and made sure it was closed before going to the garage to get in my car and leave.
While driving I suddenly remembered that there was only a week left before the class start again it's not that I don't want to go to school it's just that I will see new faces and unfamiliar people.I know some of my classmates because my friends also know them but I'm not close to them I just nod and smile when I see or meet them.
After a few minutes of driving i reached my family's house I went straight to our garage to park the car there and got off to walk towards our house door.
My parents' house is not far from where I live, I can actually walk but I used my car because I plan to go to the grocery store after I visit my family.
I knocked three times "Mom I'm here," I shouted as soon as I enter our house.
Even though we have a big house we didn't hire a maid because my mother didn't want to, she wanted us to learn how to do household chores and how to cook so that we wouldn't depend on other people if we lived alone.
I heard footsteps from the kitchen as soon my mom came out wearing an apron and holding a spoon she walked towards me to hug and give me a kiss on the cheeks.
"Missed me that much huh?," I asked teasing her.
"Yeah, it's been a long time since you visited here so help me cook and arrange the dining so we can all eat lunch and we're also going to interview you," she said and I winced.
"How about dad where is he?," I asked because I didn't see Dad in our living room when I enter our house.
"He's upstairs in his library, talking with your brother," she said as we walked into the kitchen.
"Why did he do something bad?" I asked while following mom to the kitchen, there were only two reasons when dad talked to us in his library that is, if we have done something bad or if we have neglected our studies.
Mom shook her head "It’s about his band" she said when we got to the kitchen.
I nodded it's good and that's the only reason why my father talked to him because when my father talk to him because of his antics he will see again how scary our father's face is when he gets angry.
And it happen to me once and I swear after that, I focus really hard to my studies because Dad is scary when he's mad.
That's why I don't want to play right now because if I fail I'll be a disappointment in our family and I don't want to feel that.
