It has been forever since I've seen my dad... The last time I did see him, I was five. I'm now seventeen. My mama and me have been by ourselves for years since. I've been taking flight school like my dad and mama, I know what my dad did to get kicked
out and it made me hate him more.
I woke up and looked at the ceiling. I scratched my eyes and yawned. I then looked aside and grabbed my red rimmed glasses and sat up and scratched my coal color hair. I hated the fact I hate my dad's hair... Luckily I have mama's eyes and face. I then
kicked off my sheets and started walked out my room. I opened my door and heard running. I smiled and shook my head, She's late again. I then trudged down the stairs and as I predicted, she was running late. Mama looked over at me from her papers,
"Keina! Can you ride the bus back?" She asked. I placed a hand on my hip and smiled, "Sure. Let me get my keys-" Suddenly I was stopped in my sentence by mama hugging me. "Have a nice day, no sassing!" She warned me. I laughed, "Alright mama." I said
and she kissed my forehead and then ran out the door, slamming into it at first before actually going out. Mama has been late recently... I thought and then went into the kitchen to make myself breakfast.
After about what seemed an hour, I got dressed and readied myself. I then looked in the mirror and saw myself in the reflection. I glared, "I wish I had mama's hair instead of this crap." I mumbled and then hoisted my school bag over my shoulder and exited
to house. I walked about a mile to the bus stop and waited. I pulled out my cellphone and looked at my textes. Most of them were from my friend, Maxie. I sighed and saw her text, "Where r u?! Jake is here!"I texted back, "Mom was late." I
then clicked the home button and went online and read some of the articles about space. Reasons why was because my dad was apart of some kind universe thingy. Mama told me very little of what he worked for, I felt like she was hiding something from
me. I then looked up when I saw my neighbor, Will, walk up. "Watcha doing?" He asked. I rolled my eyes, Will was thekind to just walk up to anyone and be their friend, all except me. "What do you want, Nerd?" I asked harshly. Will laughed, "Grumpy
aren't we?" He asked and I crossed my arms, "It's been shitty for a while, now why are you talking to me?"
"Because you're my neighbor!" Will smiled. I groaned and looked aside, "You're useless." I said and heard the bus come up from the street. I then watched it come to a stop and I walked up in the bus and sat in the back like usual. I watched as Will sat
next to other guys and did some kind of hand thing. I sighed and grabbed my headphones and listened to some dubstep.
About thirty minutes later, we arrived at Flight School. I walked off the bus and went to my class. I walked in and saw everyone up and talking. I then heard my name and saw Maxie with her arms up waving, I swore she had ADHD. I sat behind her and looked
at her, "What is it?" I asked and she gave me a face, "What's with the attitude?" She asked and I shrugged and sat down. "So Jake talked to me and wanted to go out!" I nodded and played with my fingers, thinking of a way to make mama happy. She's
been real stressed and all distant lately... I then heard the bell ring for class and sat back down. "Good morning class, as you know the next flight test is this Friday, make sure you read your guidelines." I then drifted off and thought about mama.
How does she feel about all this? Dad isn't home and my graduation is coming up, I need to do something. "Kogane." I looked at the teacher she smiled, "Since you're well in flight, I will be waiting for your grade."
I saluted a bit and then looked off aside. I have to think of something... something to get dad back... where would he go though?
