Lyudmilla-Week 6: The Homesick

Three days ago I spent the worst day in my life. Everything started on Wednesday morning, I was at school, in the corridor, talking with Amber and her best friend Lucy when I saw a scene that I will never forget: James, my only true love, and Greta, my worst enemy, kissing passionately next to James' locker. At that moment I felt an emotion that I can't describe, it was anger, grief, jealousy and disappointment, all mixed together. Later on, while I was in the toilet crying , Greta and her friends came in .When they saw me, they started laughing at me, so I ran away. Fortunately there was only a class left, and when the bell rang I could go back home.

Once at home I immediately ran into my bedroom, I laid on my bed and started crying again. Some minutes later Jenny arrived and tried to cheer me up, but in vaiMn. That evening I didn't go downstairs for dinner; I stayed in my room.

At three o'clock in the morning I woke up screaming because I had had a nightmare and all the family rushed into my room to see what had happened. Jenny and Amber tried to calm me down , but they couldn't because I kept on screaming and saying that I didn't want to stay there any more and that I wanted to go back to Moscow. Christopher decided to phone my mum hoping that she would be able to calm me down. After a half-an-hour talk with my family I got clamed and I decided to not to leave.

On the day after I went to school, but luckily I didn't meet either James or Greta, so the day went by quickly. At late in the afternoon the family entered my bedroom and they told me to get ready to leave because they had a surprise which certainly would make me happy. When I went downstairs, Mark asked me to close my eyes and then Amber blindfolded me and after that we get into the car. After almost fifteen minutes Mark took the blindfold off and I saw the big surprise: we were at the dog pound, so I could chose their new dog and also his name. As soon as we entered, I saw a dog which immediately stole my heart. It was a female cocker spaniel which had been abandoned along the motorway by its owner. While we were getting back home, we discussed about its name and finally we chose to call her Nikita, which is the name of my mother's dog.

 When we Arrived at home we prepared dinner, then we played the whole evening with Nikita and then we went to bed happy because we had a new dog and because the on the next day I was not going to school because of the Australia Day. We had a long weekend ahead and I wasn’t going to see Greta and James flirting.

Today I feel a bit better, but I still wish I could go back to Russia, far from my troubles.

This morning Jenny is going to cook her fantastic pancakes with syrup and, after that we are going to the city centre to watch the parade and the flight exhibition. At night we are going the concert at Sydney harbour and then, at midnight, we will see the firework display . I think it's going to be fantastic!!
