CHAPTER ONE
She is a blonde with freckles on her face, caramel skin and bright blue eyes. She would be a perfect model... billboards, runways... she'll blend well. Her dream is to travel and explore the world, the oyster and discover all the beauties of Mother Nature, but she cannot. She bad been kept in a cocoon since she existed, unlike butterflies, she will never be released. She does not go to contact classes but online and the only friend she has is her cat Molly which she got at 5. Andy is now 18 years, freshman in college doing literature. Her peers are probably living their best lives, going to clubs...art galleries ..dates.. unfortunately she has to listen to her mom all day long and gaze at the walls.
Her room is art.A room of an artist. Art works everywhere... it's so lively and so out of the cocoon. The only person that she gets to see besides his mom and dad is Zendaya, her cousin. Unlike Andy, Zendaya is free spirited..a go getter and she is alive. Zendaya visits Andy whenever she's on recess, she studies psychology. Tomorrow is Zendaya's ninetieth birthday.
"Andy, there's this new restaurant opening down the road, Cuisine Galore. How about we go and grab something to eat, you've been jailed for years" said Zendaya. Andy knew very well that going out was not very smart, in fact, she won't even make it out alive.
"No, I do not want to upset mom, but you can go..alone obviously" she replied.
Deep down she knew that she really wanted to go but her mom wouldn't let her. "Look, we are not going to do something out of line, we're merely going to order food and beverages then come home after that, you get that, don't you?" Andy just frowned because there was really nothing to do, her hands are tied. She even felt like she was being watched everywhere by cameras.
At sundown, as always Andy's mom called them downstairs for dinner. The dining table was well organized, today it was lasagna and milk tart for dessert, Zendaya's favorite.
"A favorite meal for my favorite niece!" she exlaimed.
Everyone was quiet around the table, since Andy's father introduced the law of not saying a word around the dining table. But Zendaya wanted to ask for permission to go out tomorrow but couldn't crack the ice because it might as well melt on her. Luckily, Andy's mom came to her rescue and decided to break the ice."So I was thinking of tomorrow.... how about I prepare something nice for you, maybe even make a cake. I've been eyeing some recipes to try out." Zendaya and Andy looked at each other as if they were hiding something."No, actually I wanted to check the new restaurant down the road. I wanted to eat lunch there,with Andy obviously." Zendaya replied. An akward ambience filled the room and Andy's father went red.
"Nobody is going out tomorrow,your aunt will prepare lunch, that's it.Now finish up, it's getting late." Everyone knew that it wasn't very smart to backchat Andy's dad,so they just had to go with the flow.
