I decided to take a break from reading my mom's letters to focus a little more on school. Not like I was falling behind or anything... cause I'm not. I just need to figure out what I'm going to do with my life. See, the thing is I don't have a talent. Kylie has always been good at arguing with people and starting debates so I figure she'd be a pretty kick ass lawyer or a politician. My friend Robert would be awesome at being a surgeon or a dentist. Since poking the heck out of a frog in Bio10 I thought he'd be good at something like yanking teeth out of people's mouths or maybe poking at gross stuff in bodies.
Me? Not good at anything. I'm not good at a talking to people like Grandma or Isaac. I can't make wigs like Kaitlyn. I'm not sure what I'm good at. My Socials teacher, Ms. Davies keeps going on and on about how we'll be in grade 12 next year and we better start picking out universities and deciding what we want our career to be. Tell me something. Do you know what kind of career you want to have for the rest of your life at the age of sixteen? I sure as hell don't. But of course adults think we have it all figured out. Yeah right.
"Did Davies give you another career lecture?" Kylie questioned me at lunch. I frowned.
"Why do you ask?"
"Because you have you 'Someone just talked to me about my future' look on your face." I laughed and held my hands up.
"Okay Ky. You got me." I said.
"God I don't know why you stress about that stuff. Just ignore them." Kylie said. I rolled my eyes.
"I can't help it. It just freaks me out." I said. Kylie scoffed.
"How can you be so chill during that lecture?" I asked. Kylie smiled at me.
"I stay quiet. Tune out and smile." Kylie said as she shoved her tuna sandwich in her mouth. I stared at my untouched food on my tray. Maybe Kylie was right. Maybe I am over stressing the whole like I am over the whole 'am I like my parents' thing. I sighed and ate my lunch.
My cell phone started singing the opened theme song to the Max Mayhem video game. I smiled as I walked down the steps from school. It meant Isaac was calling me. I reached into my bag and clicked my phone on.
"Hello?" There was deep breathing on the other end. I smiled but contained my laughter.
"Hello?" I said again.
"Luke, I am you father." The voice said on the other end. I smiled.
"I'm sorry I believe you have the wrong number." I said with a British accent. There was laughter on the other end.
"Hey Anna."
"Hi Isaac. What's up?"
"Well the kids are over at some friend's house and Kaitlyn is having a girls night out. You want to do some gaming?" I laughed.
"Sure." I said.
"You got the car?" Grandpa was off on a business trip so I had his car for the week.
"Yep. I'll be there in about fifteen minutes."
"Awesome. I will not see you then." Isaac said sarcastically. I laughed again.
"See ya." I clicked the phone off, threw my bag into the back seat and drove away from school
The thing that I love about Isaac is that he is still this huge kid. Grandma has told me he hasn't changed much since my mom met him which I really like. I don't like it when people change. It's just really weird. One year they're this awesome person that you have everything in common with. All your likes and dislikes and then the next year the person completely changes. It's frustrating. I like that Isaac in nearly in his forties and he's still playing video games. I opened the fron door to his house.
"I'm an axe murderer coming in to behead you and steal all you food!" I called out as I stepped in the doorway.
"Ha ha very funny!" Isaac called out from the living room. I tossed my bag onto the floor and kicked off my shoes. Isaac was sitting on the couch. I jumped onto the couch next to him.
"Hi." I said.
"Hey Anna. How was school?" I rolled my eyes.
"Boring." I said. Isaac nodded.
"Understandable." He said.
"You know if school were a video games set in Max Mayhems world I'd totally be into it." I said. Isaac laughed.
"Then you wouldn't learn anything important." He pointed out.
"I'd learn how to kill pixelized terrorist and save fictional school children. Isn't that learning something?" Isaac smiled.
"Sadly to say... no it's not." Isaac said.
"Darn... and here I thought I had a promising career." I said. Isaac frowned.
"Is something up?" He asked. I sighed.
"It's just... my teacher Ms. Davies keeps asking what we want as our careers. How on earth are we supposed to know what we want to do for the rest of our lives at the age of sixteen?" I asked. Isaac shrugged.
"You honestly don't." Isaac said.
"I sure as heck didn't know what I wanted. I was too busy learning to be blind and getting over a broken heart." Isaac said. I nodded.
"Monica?" I asked. Isaac nodded.
"But who cares? I have Kaitlyn now and she's the best thing that ever happened to me." Isaac said with a smile on his face. I smiled as well. When they talked about each other like that it made me happy. It sometimes made me wonder if my parents had been like that.
"Anyway I don't really want to talk about school." I said. Isaac nodded.
"Sure thing kiddo."
We played The Price of Blood for a good hour and a half. Whenever we got bored with the mission Isaac and I would always like to goof around with the video game system.
"Take a dump on the wall." I said.
"Take a shit on the wall." Isaac said.
I do not under-
"Take a freaking gigantic large stinking pile of shit on the wall!"
I do not-
"Make sweet love to the wall."
"Marry the wall."
I do not-
By then we were rolling around, laughing our heads off. When we finished laughing we'd just start all over again. It was an endless cycle. Finally, my stomach was sore from all the laughter. I wiped tears away from my eyes and rubbed my sore stomach.
"God I used to this with your mom. It would entertain us to no end." Isaac said. I sighed and looked right at Isaac.
"Do you miss them? Mom and dad?" Isaac sighed and turned his head towards me.
"More than you will ever know."
Dear Anna,
Don't worry. I'm still sending you places and everything. I just thought I'd give you a bit of a break. Just sit down, relax and watch this movie. V for Vendetta. It's a Natalie Portman movie. When Augustus first saw me he compared my pixie cut and puffy medicated cheek look to the mid 2000's Natalie Portman look. It was the first thing we did together. I wasn't a big fan of the movie because well... it's kind of a boy movie. But never the less maybe you will appreciate more than I did.
Love,
Mom
I smiled. That was the first time she signed off as Mom. I opened up the DVD case and put into my computer. I had seen pictures of my mom. Other than the puffy cheeks she kinda did look like mid 2000's Natalie Portman. It wasn't a bad movie. Just Natalie Portman's character being the pretty kick ass girl who falls for some guy who saves her. Can't believe mom didn't like it.
Comment and review please and thank you! And remember to check out my new Hunger Games fanfic called Here I Lie! Thanks guys! will update soon:)
