Just Another Day...Sure... by Andrea Diaz (top 10 motivational books .TXT) 📕

It's just another day, I'm getting ready to go to school. Ugh, I can't believe I'm starting my senior year.  

"Hurry up jelly bean!" 

That was Oscar, my brother. I'm glad I have my own ride to school. Now I don't have to go with my dad and Oscar anymore. I open the door and Oscar pushes me out so he can get in. I ignore him and walk downstairs. Like always my father's sitting at the kitchen table. 

"Aren't you going to eat breakfast before you leave." 

"Good morning dad," I gave him a kiss on the cheek, "and I'm just going to drink some orange juice." 

I open the fridge and got out the orange juice. It was getting late, so I got in my car, turned on the radio, and left. 

I get to school right on time, the bell rang right when I'm walking through the front door. Of course my first class of the day turns out to be math. Once it actually became difficult I just began to dislike it. The man in the front of the room began to turn. 

"Welcome to calculus, your new favorite class." 

I suddenly realized I was starring, I guess math won't be so bad. He introduced himself then the class. Mr Hernandez was all I heard before I tuned out and began to stare once again. He was about 5'9 and looked like he had a muscular body. He had the most amazing misty gray eyes that mesmerized anyone who looked. 

The bell rang and I continued on to my next class. Each class was the same we sat through introductions, I didn't think I could make it until lunch. I didn't feel like getting lunch so I just sat down and looked at all the books I got today. I began to look through the calculus book and I realized it looked difficult, I guess I'll have to have private tutoring. The bell rang and I went off to my next class. 

When school was finally over I got into my car and drove home. I just remembered my mom and dad were going out tonight to a "fancy" party. As I pulled up the driveway my phone rang signaling I got a new text message. 

................................................................................. 

Jenny: 

Hola! Where we're u 2day?!?! I didn't see u @ school... 

Me: 

Hey! Sorry I didn't see u either... We'll meet up tomorrow ok... 

Jenny: 

U wanna hang out in a little? A couple of us are going to the movies then we're going to hang out @ the cafe.. 

Me: 

Uhm...sure...wut time? 

Jenny:

Me: 

Ok I'll be there..ima just get ready...ha who would I take... 

Jenny: 

Ugh...fine..see u bye... 

................................................................................. 

I locked my phone and got out of the car. As I was walking into the house Oscar was leaving. 

"Where are you going?" 

"I'm just going to go hang out with some friends, I'll be back soon."  

"Just don't get home late, okay?" 

"Fine, whatever."

Ugh, whatever, I hate having a little brother. Even if he is just a year younger. We practically look like twins. I am 5'4, thin but fit, I have dark chocolate brown, long, wavy hair, and a fair skin tone. My eye color changes from a hazel to a dark emerald green. Oscar is 5'6, thin but muscular, has dark chocolate brown, short, wavy hair, a skin tone similar to mine but tanner, and his eyes are a dark emerald. Yet we still try to convince others at school we aren't related. 

I finished getting ready and went to meet up with Jenny and everyone else. When I saw Jenny she was with her boyfriend, Josh. Jenny is about 5'4, has straight, short, black hair, she is light skinned, has dark chocolate brown eyes, and is skinny. Josh is 5'6,  has short, black hair, dark sea blue eyes, was buff, and had a nice tan. When I saw everyone else they had dates. 

"Hey! What took you so long?" 

"It's barely 4:10. More importantly why didn't you tell me everyone was going to have a date?" 

"Well not everyone has a date." 

"What are you talking about? Everyone has a date." 

"Not really. Damian doesn't have one." 

"Damian isn't here." 

At that moment she smiled and motioned with her head to look behind me. I swiftly turned around and saw him walking in our direction. I couldn't believe it was him. He's 5'6, thin but muscular, has night black, short, straight hair, a fair skin tone, and the most amazing dark sapphire blue eyes. Jenny poked me and woke me from my trance right when he was about to pass us. 

"Hey." 

I could barely react. 

"Hi." 

He had the most amazing smile. Every girl at our school thought he was hot, which he was. Jenny pulled me towards the group and we all got our tickets. As we were about to walk into the room playing our movie Jenny grabbed Damian aside and whispered in his ear, he smiled and then nodded. I was a little worried, Jenny can have crazy ideas. Damian walked into the room and gave me a smile, of course I smiled back. Before Jenny walked in I grabbed her by her arm. 

"What did you say to him?" 

"Nothing. Don't worry it's nothing bad." 

I looked at her suspicious and then we walked in. Of course everyone was spread out with their date. Ugh, now I really think I should have just stayed home. Then Damian, who was at the top, waved to me. Oh my god Jenny what did you say to him. I walked to the top and went to where he was. 

"Hey Lily, I saved you a spot." 

He said as he pointed to the seat next to him. 

"Thanks." 

I smiled and sat down. I thought to myself she must have told him something, but I have to admit it isn't really all bad. Soon the room got dark and the movie began. At parts I would jump in horror, it was a horror film after all, and Damian would laugh. But at one point during the film I had my arm on the arm rest and I suddenly I feel Damian put his hand on my hand and entwine his fingers with mine. When I felt his hand, I looked at him. I had butterflies in my stomach and I was blushing, hopefully he couldn't notice. He felt me look at him and he then turned to look at me to, he smiled and I smiled back. We turned our attention back to the film and stayed that way through the rest of the movie. The movie was over soon and we were all exiting the theater and heading to the cafe across the street, of course I was walking with Damian. 

"Did you guys like the movie?"Jenny said 

If it wasn't because I was having a good time I would have slapped that girl. 

"Well I did. Did you even pay attention?" 

"I did actually, it was a good movie." 

Jenny said as she stuck her tongue out at me and walked into the cafe. We all sat in a group talking about our summers, what classes we had, and what teachers we ended up with. We stayed there until 8, and all that time I was sitting next to Damian. I was really glad I came after all but it was getting late. 

"Well I have to go. It's getting late and I'm not sure what time my parents are getting home. Bye." 

I started getting up when Damian got up too. 

"I'll walk you to your car, I have to go too anyways." 

"Okay." 

I smiled. When he got up and we were about to walk away he grabbed my arm and then he froze. 

"Damian? Are you ok?" 

He suddenly blinked. 

"Huh? Sorry, I do that sometimes. Weird, huh?" 

I smiled and let out a quick laugh. We waved to everyone and walked out. While we were walking to my car Damian held my hand. I was so happy I couldn't stop smiling. We talked about the movie and we laughed about random stuff. As we got close to my car I took of the alarm and unlocked it. Suddenly Damian made me turn and I was against my car facing him. He had his hands on my waist and I had my hands on his chest. He was leaning towards me and was about to kiss me. Before he got any closer my phone rang. Great, some idiot decides to call me at this moment. We quickly released each other and I answered my phone.

"Hello?" 

Damian was looking at me. 

"Is this Lily Diaz?" 

I was confused and a little worried. Damian can tell, he grabbed my hand. 

"Yes, this is Lily Diaz." 

"I'm calling from the Miami Cedars Medical Center." 

I got really worried.

"Sadly I must advise you, Mr and Mrs Diaz where in a car accident." 

"What?!" 

I could feel a tear drop fall down my face. 

"Are they okay? We're they injured?" 

"They just arrived to our hospital. You need to come down here." 

"What?! Okay. Did you tell my brother yet?" 

"No, not yet." 

"I'll tell him myself. I'm on my way over there." 

I hung up and was now crying. Damian looked at me worried and hugged me, I hugged him back. 

"What happened? Who was it?" 

"It was the Miami Cedars Medical Center. My parents were in a car accident." 

Damian looked very surprised when I said they were in a car accident. 

"Are they ok?" 

"They couldn't tell me. I need to get to the hospital." 

I began to cry even more. 

"I have to tell my brother and go see them." 

I began to go around the car to the drivers side when Damian grabbed my arm and stopped me. 

"Let me drive you there. Your to worried and shocked to drive." 

"No I'm fine. You have your car anyways you can't." 

"I'm not letting you drive in these conditions. We can pass by the cafe and I can give Josh my car keys, he can take my car. Either way I'm not letting you drive." 

"Okay." 

I got into the passenger side and he got into the drivers side. We went by the cafe and he gave Josh his car keys. When we left I messaged Oscar to let him know. 

................................................................................. 

Me: 

Where r u? 

Oscar: 

I'm with my friends... Y? 

Me: 

Where exactly? 

Oscar: 

Y?!?! 

Me: 

Mom & dad were in an accident.... Where r u?! 

Oscar: 

Wut!?! R they ok?!? 

Me: 

Where r u?!?! 

Oscar: 

I'm @ the skate park... 

Me: 

I'm on my way to pick u up stay there! 

Oscar: 

Ok... 

................................................................................. 

We picked him up and he kept asking how they were. I didn't want him to get too worried, maybe they weren't too injured. When we got to the hospital we both hurried out. When we got inside we had to wait in the waiting area for the doctor. We were all standing, Damian was standing behind me with his hands on my shoulders and his head leaning on my head. Soon the doctor came out. He looked very sad which made me and Oscar get very sad. 

"We did the best we could. There was too much damage. I'm so sorry." 

We both began to cry. I turned around and Damian hugged me. Oscar fell to the chair. I separated from Damian. 

"Can I see them? Please." 

"Of course." 

The doctor showed all three of us to a room.
