My day has been going from bad to worse! Sure, I'm sitting in first class on my way to Britain, and yes, I have my laptop on my lap and I've been spending all day mindlessly staring at the screen, but so what, I still know that this vacation is going no where but down hill. "Why do I think this?" you might ask. Well, it all started last week.
I was listening in on my mom's phone call she was making to my dad. Now, I know, eavesdropping is immature, but if your two divorced parents were deciding where you were going to spend your WHOLE summer, you'd be eavesdropping too. So, my parents were arguing over who should take me, as if I was an unwanted toy! Now, don't you find THAT immature!
"No, you keep her! I don't have time to take care of a bratty, little teenager this summer, Macy!" my 'so-called-father' cried.
"You haven't even spent more than a weekend with the girl, Luis! Honestly, she can't remember the last time you two had spent quality time together!" mom yelled. Even without the phone up close to my ear, I still would've heard her across the house.
"That's beside the point! Obviously the girl doesn't even like me!" my dad said in a 'matter-of-factly' tone.
"Well, I doesn't take very much effort to do that, now does it Luis?" my mom fired back.
*Yahoo! Point for mom! And the final score is: Dad 0; Mom 382;* I thought as I became more engrossed in their conversation.
"Macy, I..." dad started to trail off.
"Now, don't 'Macy, I' me," mom said, "You are spending this summer with your daughter, even if you refuse. She is hopping on a plane, first thing Monday!" My mouth gaped and I dropped the phone. *A whole summer, with HIM!* I thought.
And that's how it happened. And now, I'm stuck next to a fat guy snoring next to me, on a plane to Britain. The whole "first class" thing was a present from my mom. And I don't mean an "I'll miss you" present; I mean a "I feel so sorry for you" present.
Ugh. It's going to be a LONG vacation...
