The next day, I woke up and went downstairs to find my dad camped out on the couch in front of the TV. He had a bowl of Trix right next to him. This sight was so...unusual for me. I almost never see my mom out of her office, eating sugary stuff and watching TV other than the News on a holiday or something like that.
"Dad?" I asked, sitting down next to him.
"Oh, hi Allison. Hungry?" He asked, about to stand up.
"I'll get it. And what are you watching?" I asked from the kitchen. The kitchen was a big room with an island in the middle with stove and oven bulit in, stools around the other side and cabnits and counters on the rest of the surface. I was just mostly opening and closing them until I found what I wanted, Trix.
Fifteen minutes l was armed with my trix and ready to go out into the living room.
"So, Allison what do you want to do today?" My dad asked me. I choked on my breakfast. When was the last time I was asked this question? Never.
"Are you okay?" He asked me.
"Yeah, Mom never asks me that question. Ever. Not even on my birthday." I tell him, and look down. I feel like I'm betraying my mother here.
"Really?" He asked me.
"Yes. I mean it was nice, never really fighting and stuff but still..." I trail off.
"Okay, but how about we go out, I can show you some of your mother's favorite places." He says, and forgets about his food, as do I.
"Okay." I mangage a smile and he smiles too. And that moment I can tell why mom fell for him and I am glad to have a father like him, even though I just met him, I wouldn't want anyone else to be my father but him.
"Okay, that is where we lived, Anubis House." My dad told me, driving on campus, my new school. Since I am living with him and will be for this school year, I have to go to the school he sends me too, and it is the same one him and my mother went too.
"It looks so...old?" I try to tell him, he looks over at me and laughs.
"Yeah, it was but you have no idea how old our house keeper was." He tells me.
"What? 100?" I ask him, and he looks over at me and nodds. "Really?"
"About, but that is another story. So know what?" He asks, turning off campus.
"Um, I dunno." I tell him and take in the noises. The radio playing and the car and just everything. It seems so perfect...so not real.
Okay, so review!
