Home

Before you open your eyes, you are deciding what you should do for the day. You can feel the sunshine through the window and you know you have passed the time you usually get up. You don't feel well since last night, so staying home seems to be your better choice than taking two tests in school. You open your eyes and stare at the ceiling for minutes. The house is quiet. Your parents have left for work. When you go home, you just stay in your room almost the rest of the day. No wonder you mom sometimes complains she only sees you during dinner. You stretch and clear everything in your mind.

You leave your room, and the corner of your right eye notices that your parents's room is open while you are walking to the kitchen. It's usually closed, so you go back and grab the handle. Suddenly, you realized that the room has changed. You may ask yourself when is your last time go into the room, "weeks ago?"you can't answer it. You go into the room, look around, and sit on a chair.

You hold one of the pictures next to you. "It's a new picture," you tell yourself. You stare at the picuture, your dad, your mom, and you are smiling in that picture. But where did you take it? You are trying to think back, but nothing is coming up. You know when you took this picture this time, the answer is a long time ago. You finally smile, with bitterness.

You stand up, you have made another decision. Since your parents always make fun of your cooking skills, you are going to prove they are wrong. And you and your parents can sit together and talk more about the food , and of course, not only during the dinner.
