Adeline in any way was not a morning person but she was someone who always looked forward to a new day. She turned off her alarm, stayed in bed for a few minutes and then walked into her bathroom for the morning rituals. After brushing her teeth and shower, she came out in a light pink bathrobe and walked into her closet.

She pulled out a pastel green crop top and white jeans. Pulling half of her hair up in a ponytail she tied up her hair and applied a bit of makeup. She picked up her glass and walked down and looked at the breakfast already laid at the table.

​​

“Oh come on daddy. Bread and jam?” She whined whilst pulling out a chair for herself.

Her old man was someone who looked quite young as compared to men of his age and made heads turn in his direction when came into the view. He was dressed up for his office as well. He was a highly Paid accountant for his fabulous work.

“Sorry kiddo but it was your day to cook.” He reminded pointedly.

She mutters a ‘yea’ while applying butter on her bread, but snapped in her head the direction of her father when she saw him moving away with his plate. She saw him eating a slice of bread which was not enough for him.

“Hey? What about breakfast?” She asked turning around to look at him.

“Yeah honey, about that. I have to leave early today and I would be arriving late at night, so don’t wait for me. Tomorrow is a holiday for banks and I have to get the work done today. I’m so sorry kid, I won’t be dropping you today.” He said walking away in a hurry.

With this said, he walked out she yelled out a ‘wait’ and ran into the kitchen. Opening the fridge, she found what she was looking for and ran in the direction of her father’s range Rover. Lowering the window she handed him an apple.

“No one leaves without having breakfast.” She quoted her mother’s line and then added her own, you’re a growing boy!” She smiled.

Her father smiled at this and laughed a little, kissed her forehead and then drove away.

Finishing her breakfast she walked to her school which was a few blocks away. Later joined in between by her classmate Jake, they both walked to the school making small talks and laughing. Entering the school, she was greeted by her BFF James who was gay and seemed to be the only constant friend she had.

“Hey, bitch!” He immediately draped an arm on her shoulder.

“Hey. Did you complete the assignment?” For Adeline, it was pretty Obvious that education came first. Plus, James never remembered the submission date.

Sighing, he replied. “Addy, no one wants to talk about homework in the Morning.” He explained in a duh tone.

“Even if it’s due today?” The ringing of the warning bell forced them to leave it and walk in the direction of their classes. Nothing special happened today; her submission of assignments, distribution and homework. The lunch break, as usual, consisted of having grilled cheese sandwiches and loud laughter.

The day passed with ease. Adeline was now waiting for her since her father had texted her that he was free for the day and wanted to spend it with her.

The range of Rover came to a stop in front of her. Smiling, she opened the door and kissed her father’s cheek. He asked her about her day and she started ranting the entire events with every detail to her father. Jason smiled looking at his daughter who was full of life.

He parked the car and both of them got out. He had brought her to McDonald’s since he knew she preferred it more to any other gourmet restaurant.

After ordering their food they both sat down in a corner booth. Sighing Jason Woods put his burger down and looked at her.

“Adele?” he called a bit hesitant.

“Yes papa?” she answered him, worried a bit that he wasn’t eating.

He smiled a bit before revealing, “Honey, I have received a job offer, the pay is really good. I could easily afford your further studies without touching any of the savings.”

“If it’s good then take it up.” She smiled. Her father loved his job and worked hard for it. She didn’t want to take this away from him after her mother.

“Yeah, baby but you see it’s in Nylon.” He replied smiling sheepishly.

“You mean like we would have to move like from here to the north, the snow?” She gasped.

“Yes, honey but not now. You will have to complete your tenth grade here; I have already talked to them about that. I-I’ll be going back and forth to get things settled. Okay? It’ll be easier since they are paying for the residence and travelling.” He immediately explained his plan. somehow trying to make up for the loss she was going to face because of him but he couldn’t say no, it was going to give her a better and secure future.

“Okay.” She breathed out. He deserved this.

Adeline knew it was her dad’s dream, to be one of the top accountants but shifting somewhere was a headache for her. She still had five months left and she knew she had to make it count. She was going to tell her friends and have a farewell that no one would ever forget.
