MOLLY.

As I flipped the pages, I stared hard into the books but my mind was elsewhere.

Of course, the clock.

I couldn’t wait for Mrs Linda to finish teaching. I gazed up looking at the clock. Come on! just five seconds until the summer holiday.

“Five, four, three, two, one!!” I counted in my head as the bell rang and Mrs Linda finally left.

Oh hi, I’m sure you are wondering who I am? What all the fuss about the Summer Holiday was about.

Hi! My name is Molly. Everyone thinks I’m a nerd but definitely I am not. I think I am the coolest person you will ever meet but others seem to disagree and I can’t blame them. They can’t seem to get along with my style as a person.

Now, back to the summer holiday.

This story is about one of my wildest summer breaks and how everything about me changed within a twinkle of an eye!

“Molly! Molly ! Molly!” Fabiola called my name out loud. Oh, yeah. Did I forget to tell you? In a world where everyone seems to think that I am a nerd, there is one person who thinks I’m cool and that’s my best friend, Fabiola. She’s a blonde, now imagine how pretty she is.

"Fabs, sorry I was lost in my thoughts." I responded to her calls.

"Thinking about space and rocket ships again huh?" Fabiola asked, grinning.

"Come on, my world doesn’t revolve around that” I told her with a smirk.

"Now, Mols. Where on this earth are you spending your summer break?" Fabiola asked me.

"My house, my room, where else would I get unlimited peace and quiet to think about science?" I responded with a puzzled look.

“Come on Mols, not this break again. How about you follow me and my sister to San Francisco for the break?" She could sense my reluctance, so she pressed further.

"Come on! it will be fun!" She whined.

"You have to get a boyfriend this break and a first kiss, if possible. It’s time you got over your nerd crush Jake with the weird braces and maybe you also do your fun science stuff there, please, please, please?” Fabiola said with a cute face pouting her lips  

"Okay, okay, you know I can’t resist you when you say it like that, but first I have to ask my dad. When he gives me the permission, I will go with you guys, okay?" I agreed.

"But just so you know, I am not going for the opposite sex. I have to keep this body holy" I told her.

"Yayyy!!! Come on, let’s go home. My mom’s outside already." Fab said, dragging me by my hand.

                         𖦹𖦹𖦹𖦹

The drive home was just as it always has been, Fabs talking all through, her mom laughing and all and me just keeping mute throughout .

When I entered the house, Dad was already in and had prepared dinner. I went into my room , took a shower and changed into my pajamas. Dad knocked on my door just then.

“Come in ,the door is open” I told him.

“Here, your dinner." He brought in my dinner.

“It’s your favorite. Spaghetti with little hotdogs cut up in it.“ He told me, smiling.

“Awwn. Thank you, Dad. Dad can I ask you something?? “ I asked

“Of course, baby.“ He responded.
