A day out with my family

Finally, the presentation got over. I presented without any fear and I got good remarks from Teacher too.

'I got my freedom back from Ace!'

That's the only thing that flashed when I came out of the class.

Wow!

I wanted to share this with Senior but he got to practice for the game tonight. I hope he wins. I mean... our faculty!

Tomorrow We're going on a family day out after a long break. I'm happy but at the same time, I'm nervous. Because in every outing there'll be a bad thing that happens to me. It gives both happiness as well as its side effects to me. I wonder what's gonna happen this time.

Today's the day!!!

Dad said that We're going to the beach today. I'm so happy! What bad will happen on the beach right? 🤷🏻‍♀️

I got ready and came downstairs. Dad was talking to Mom. Sarah was playing with Corey.

I pointed to Corey and asked Sarah, "Don't say that you're bringing him along with us!"

"Of course! he's coming!", she smiled and took him into her arms and kissed him all over his face.

"Ugh!"

I went out to get into the car. I saw Sven standing beside the car with his new girlfriend. Wil's sister.

Wendy.

Dad patted on my shoulder from my behind saying,

"So you found out the surprise!!"

I was puzzled.

He continued, "Miss Heyworth is coming with us." and gave a smile.

"What the hell!", I bolted out.

"Language! Sam!", mom said while boarding the car.

"Dad, We're going on a family day out!"

"Yes, we are."

"She's not our family dad!", I explained.

"Sam!", he turned on his firm face.

"But dad..."

He cut me by saying, "If you're not interested you don't have to come."

"You choose her before me???"

He ignored me and got into the car. I stared at her and went behind them.

Sven and Wendy sat at the back. I and Sarah took the middle. Dad was the one who's driving. Mom was in the front along with Dad.

Sarah whispered to me while we're on the way to the beach, "Hey! Will you be mad if I said I'm bringing a friend too."

"Who?", I asked her.

"Falcon...", she waited for my answer.

"I don't have anything towards him."

She smiled happily and continue to play with Corey.

We reached the beach finally. It's so good to walk on the sand and breath fresh air. We walked towards the shore.

I dropped my bag once I reached and went into the water.

I love the beach!!!

I played in the water leaving all my thoughts aside. Sarah left Corey with mom and came to play with me. We splashed water and played by pushing each other into the water. She played with me until Falcon showed up. I swam for some time and floated on the surface with a help of a swim ring.

Dad called me for a drink, "Have this"

I took it from him.

"Why do you look so down. It's not like we're fighting for the first time right." and he laughed.

"Yeah.", I said and continued, "So... What's the deal? How does she end up with us?"

"Wendy's dad is my friend. He asked his daughter in marriage with Sven. When I talked about this with Sven he was okay with it. I wanted to introduce her to our family. That's why I brought her."

"They're gonna get married???"

"Yes...but not for now." and laughed again.

'What the hell! She's gonna stick up forever with us now.'I thought.

I asked again, "When did this happen?"

"I...I think it's been three weeks."

"Okay."

"Why were you mad at her?", he asked.

"I don't know!"

"Sam, I gave my word to her dad.", he tried to convince me.

"I'll give it a try.", I lied.

The sunset.

I sat on the shore to see the waves. I love the water when it touches my feet and runs back into the ocean again.

Sven and Wendy looked happy with each other. I never saw Sven laugh like that after he broke up. If I accept Wendy then I'll see Wil on every occasion and somehow I gotta talk to him. But I don't wanna do that. I don't wanna be two-faced. The fact that I liked him is never going to be changed. I can't accept Wendy. I'm sorry Sven.

We were on the way to the restaurant. I decided to take a short nap before that. I dozed off by seeing lights through the window.

Sarah shook me.

"Wakey! Wakey!", she shouted into my ears.

"I'm up!", said while yawning.

I got out and saw Wendy still sticking with us. Does she have to tag along everywhere we're going? I sighed.

We went in. The restaurant seems so busy. There's was so many people. It kinda seemed familiar to me. We took two tables since we came in large numbers. Me, Sven, Wendy and dad sat at one table while Mom, Sarah and Falcon and Corey in another. Sarah was overjoyed because the restaurant was animal friendly.

Why do I have to sit with them? Can't I change seats? I tried to get up.

My dad looked at me. Okay. I'm sitting here. I sat beside Sven.

I was staring into the menu card like there's no other thing interesting more than this.

Sven grabbed it from me, "time out!"

"I can't choose my meal?"

"You took 20 minutes...for just staring."

I sighed.

Inbetween people chattering, "What do you want mam?", someone asked from behind me. I think it's the waiter.

I didn't look up instead, "I don't have the power to order. Ask the person beside me." said while looking into my phone.

Dad from another side, "Behave well to your brother."

I ignored it and looked into my phone.

Our plates arrived with delicious food.

There were meatball noodles on my plate. Sven does know my taste. I began to dig in since I'm hungry. Wow! It's spicy and tastes so good. Mom found a good restaurant. I continued to dig in happily. I found more meatballs in mine. It is weird because usually, they put 4 or 5 per bowl. Maybe it's my lucky day I guess.
