HOME

6102 Rosalind Ave.

Small but affordable. A three-bedroom house I spent a fraction of my high school life there. White with brown trim, one-story and only one bathroom. (Three girls sharing one bathroom.) A big roomy kitchen makes up for a lot of the cons of the home. (You can say it's a pro.) (The kitchen) Spacious backyard (Lots of big spiders) with a stone pathway leading to a swinging bench (Yay fun!). There is enough room to play volleyball back there. Bamboo lines the side fences. (This little Asian lady pops up every so often to ask for some.)

I just got home from school. Right when I walked through the door my mom tried to make me give her my phone (she didn't pay for it). We began to argue, "Give me the phone!” she yelled. "No. You didn't pay for it!” I replied. Back and forth we went until she jumped on me (she's kind of big).

We wrestled (on my bed) a few minutes until I broke free and ran. I ran to the front door (she blocked me) so I ran to the backyard and hopped over the fence (I knew she wouldn’t). I ran down my hill to the bus stop (caught the bus to Bart) and ran away.

Vermont St.

Pepto bismal pink was the color with forest green trim. A fraction of my middle school life was spent here. A three-floor apartment building (not sure how many apartments?) with an unsafe parking garage. (My dad's car was broken into plenty of times). The Oakland hills.... (Didn't spend much time exploring these parts) There was a laundry room downstairs next to the unsafe parking garage, (One washer and one dryer) what a bonus!) which led to an outside deck. This laundry room was spooky (I always spent my time with my back against the wall so I was sure nobody was creeping up on me.) The flights of stairs were horrendous to carry ANYTHING up.

She (my step-mom) stormed in the house (she just got off work). Unsure of her issues I tried to stay out of her way. My dad was in their room in his office (the bathroom) on the toilet. I was lying in my bed watching TV until Chanyle (my little sister) came in “I want to watch Next Friday” she said.

“I’m watching You Got Served right now Nel (That’s what I call her) we can watch it after.” I replied. She began to cry

“I want to watch my movie” she yelled. Her mom  (my step-mom) comes in the room,

“What’s wrong Chanyle?” she asked.

“I want to watch Next Friday mom” she replied.

“Why can’t she watch her movie? ” she (my step-mom) asked.

I am entitled to do whatever I want in my room even though I share my room with my little sister that doesn’t mean she can come in when she wants to and regulate (She’s five).

She was a beauty (my grandma). Canary yellow with white trim I also spent a fraction of my high school life here. What was once a five-bedroom home she (my grandma) jazzed it up and made it a modern day two-story masterpiece.

The kitchen

Marble wood floors, granite counter tops, dishwasher, and an open bar. (Fuckin' beautiful)

The master bedroom

Upstairs was a secluded area with its own bathroom, shower, and a sliding door that led to a private balcony.

(Smoke and a pancake?) Two closets, not counting the smaller one next to the bathroom with towels and other necessities.

The family room

Swiveling chairs, a big flat screen TV, a love seat (no love making) followed by more swiveling chairs.

It was Easter all my cousins (girls) have on (princess like) dresses, with their baskets next to them. (They found them this morning). I woke up at eight (I was tired). My little sister came in my room, "Sissy did you find yours?” she asked.

"No I haven't got up yet.", I replied (me being lazy). I got up and found my note neatly written (by my mom of course) that read "Good morning look in mommy's closet for your basket!". We walk to her room, look in her closet (move all her shoes). Nothing but another note that read, "Nope not here! Look in the garage?". We race to the garage (not really), open the door and there it was (my basket). We used to get dressed and go to her (my grandma's) house (5273 Ervin ct.). But not anymore (she passed).

 

1611 Spruce St.

This home is pretty new to me.

Orange stucco wraps around the house with dark brown trimming. The atmosphere was the most unique I've ever seen. (Not that I've never seen a home like this before.) A fairly wealthy family owns this house; historical pictures line the walls with the families name in captions.  This home is where my friends and I go to relax and hang out, while the owners are in Chile.

I had a stressful day at school and work so I decide I need to clear my head. I text Sophie, “Hey, what you doing?” I asked.

“Nothing. You off work yet?” she replied.

“Yeah let’s go to the hills (1611 Spruce St.) ” I text her back.

Next thing you know were off to the hills (Me, my boyfriend, Sophie, and some others). We had a bottle stashed in the freezer (Nice and Cold) for our next visit (today). Everyone was drunk by the end of the night, we danced and took pictures then fell asleep.
