She Was Always The One

It's finally summer, yesterday was my last day and I am now officially going to be a junior! I was sleeping in since I no longer need to wake up at five in the morning to get ready. The sun begun to shine through my curtains, making my room bright and hard to stay asleep in. I slowly opened my eyes and looked at the time, 10:30, well I might as well get something to eat and say good morning to my father.

I quickly run to the bathroom to pee and wash my face. I then proceeded to walk down the stairs. I see my father tapping away at his computer, his face is flushed with confusion but with a hit of satisfaction. I walk over to him and give him a hug and a kiss on the cheek, "morning dad, what are you doing?" He looked up from the computer and smiled at me, "well just get your breakfast ready and come back to the table and we'll talk about it" he said giving me a reassuring smile.

I grabbed my favorite cereal, peanut butter Cheerios, and poured a mass about of it in a bowl. I put the cereal away and went to the fridge to get the milk, I filled up my bowl until the cereal was about to over flow. I returned the milk then got my cereal and headed to the kitchen table to find out what is going on in my fathers mind.

I set down my bowl close to his computer and pulled over a chair so I could see what he is looking at. "So what are you looking up?" I asked hesatently as I was unaware of what he would reply with. "I'm looking up schools in America for you" he replys not taking his eyes off the computer screen, "you mean like colleges? Cause you know I wanna go to college in Bejing right?" I said with some sass. He knows how badly I wanna to Bejing to get my degree, I mean I only talk about it all the time. "Um, well no, I know this really good school in California. I used to go there and I know it's an advanced school but not as advanced as here in Japan." He slowly looked at me through the corner of his eye.

"Wait, you want me to go to summer school?" I'm so confused, I know I'm blond but I'm actually really smart so I don't see why my father would want me to go to summer school. My dad finally turned his body so he was facing me, he grabbed my hands and held them between his while looking in my eyes. "Listen Petra, you know since your mother passed you didn't really get time to uh.. think about it a lot cause you shut it out and put all your focus into school. You have done so amazing and I'm so proud of you, you know that right? But you have put so much effort into it I think you deserve a break" he said never breaking eye contact. I could see his eyes start to water but my father never broke down and cried, the only time I ever saw him cry was when my mother had passed away.

"I want you to finish school not being stressed so I'm gonna send you to California, to finish school there. You're gonna live with my old buddy I used to work with back when I was your age. He has two sons one your age and one a year older, I already called them and they think it's an amazing idea. Your plane ticket is already booked and you leave in two days." And I saw a tear escape his eyes, I just stared at him trying not to cry myself. "Kido you know I always want the best for you and I think this will really help you" he said then shut his laptop and started walking up the stairs and yelled for me to start packing my things.

I was beyond pissed that he didn't tell me sooner, I probably would of been okay with it but since he just dumped the news on me I won't have time to say goodbye to all my friends. I know he only wants the best for me but this is complete bullshit. Well I guess I better go pack up my life. I home the family I'll be living with won't be too crazy or assholes.. I'm soo not ready to leave my dad yet. I'm still his baby, man I'm not looking forward to this at all.
