Frankly, I didn't how all this adds up somehow without me knowing from the start. It's was just yesterday that step dad told me about this and here I am looking at him. Flesh and blood after all these years.
I stood rigid, watching at my current parents face before lookinga at my dad who has a high smile on his face. With his hands wide, he pulled into a tight hug which was kind of a bit awkward as all I did was stood still.
James (my real dad) pulled out before he cleared his throat clumsily. He both sides of his lower lips with his index and thumb before turning to my Mum with a wide grin on his face. He licked his lower lips before throwing his hand up and let it drop, slapping it hard on his sides.
"My baby!" He shouted "My Emilia is a big girl and I don't even know how old she is..." He trailed off as he turned to look at my face "Are you fourteen you know it's
Even though feeling awkward After what I had done with Xavier and meeting my real dad in the morning, the idea of just vanishing became the worst thing ever thought of. Back at school, I would be ready to meet again with my extremely annoying project partner Nigel. I haven't even settled my mind when I felt someone breeze past me. With the way the warm body touched me, I knew that fella did it intentionally. I look to see the only person I surprisingly expected. "hey junk, remember our project is today?" Nigel interrupted my thought. Immediately without saying anything, I looked away. The last thing I wanted is any more shit, and trust me, if not for the fear of calling my parents or getting my detention extended, I would live to kick this...chuck in the ball. Grumbling what I had no idea of and looked up to find the freak still waiting for a response. This can't be happening....not now! A sly smile appeared on my lips as I pretend to search for someone
EMILIA'S POV I felt calm then as lying to him felt better than being with him and that was with ease. Heck! remembering my section in detention made me sick almost immediately. I avoided some group of students who were looking at me for no good reason, maybe I didn't know. Walking to the detention room, looking tired and helpless but still looking straight up and healthy, I wish I could just give up. Worst still, I overheard that Gabby is now feeling better which means, she might likely resume soon. Sleeping my forehead as I took my seat, ignoring the killing stare I am getting from everyone including my stepbrother almost made me want to vanish. Gosh! Staying in a room with the people you hate the most can be as frustrating and painful as waxing your Vjay area. Once they are gone, you feel well again. Most of the time, You would just want to kill them over every little thing they do even if is for them to breathe. To blink would be like stalking you in the h
XAVIER'S POV From where I sat, I saw Emilia shake. Her face went colorless as she fumbled with her table before turning back to look at Eva and Nili with tears in her eyes. As I stood up and pull off my shirt, Ignored the teacher's shocked face. She gulped as she opened her mouth and closed it back without saying anything a word. Emily looked drenched in her own sweat as I walked close to her and stood directly behind her chair. "Fuck off!". I slapped Eva's phone as she kept struggling to get the full footage of Emily's stained dress as she got up. Let's say I expected a bit of it but it's just so crazy as Eva didn't respond. She just stared at me with her mouth open and licked her lower lips. My hands went around Emily's slender waist as I tied both hands of my short sleeve shirt on her waist. "What is going on there?". Oh! So she can talk?I looked up from Emily's hips to see the blank face of the lady in front of me. Wow! How did she leave her seat
The fake smile that has been on my face vanished. Nothing could replace it not even my signature smirk as all I want is not to cry. I don't need to ask her if she meant it again. "Great". I picked up my blood-stained shirt as I walked out of the toilet. Good thing the school seems dey as no one heard or saw me walking out. Looking at the stained shirt, I shrieked inwardly, reminding myself not to wear this shirt again even if I love it so much. Thinking about it alone made me chuckle as I walked to the detention calls back. Opening the door with my head down as if it could no longer stand, I walked in bare. I ignored Devin's stern look, ignored Eva and Nili's disgusting gaze in my nipples, and walked to my previous seat. 'I want nothing more at the point but to delete you in my fucking life!!!'. Emily's words came, pierce into my heart like a dagger. I fought the urge not to cry as I grab my pen and before I knew it, the next thing I am staring at is my
EMILIA'S POV This is what I need now, mom's hug. I just buried my face in her shoulders and cried. At this point, I can't tell what I am crying for. Is it my real dad showing up when I least expected him, or the fact that I am having something to do with Xavier and feel guilty? What about having to deal with detention when I am not supposed to. Okay, let's cry over the visible one. I can't just go crying because I hate my birth father. "They have my face on camera" I sniffed as she pats my back "They have it on camera". Mom sighed, she kisses my neck and shush me. "It's okay, you are just a woman and people do make mistakes even though I did the same". I froze. Yeah, I get my mum has always been Mrs perfect. She never gets to do any mistakes and I wonder if she is even human at times. When cleaning, she would come to spot dirt in the sparkling sink you just cleaned. Do you want to talk about how she brings out cobwebs from my wardrobe when I obvio
Good thing no one came to bother me. From the bed I lay, I could clearly hear what they were all saying. Dave's voice seems to be the worst, extremely loud. Mum never talk about him and when I asked, she simply said it was an agreement and she had to talk to me. Ok, let me get this straight. My birth father agreed to let me go and here he is? What the hell is he doing here. Straining my ears, I realized I could only hear three voices. Mum's voice was the one with authority, Dave's loud voice, and my step Dad always trying to be the cool dad. My stomach doesn't hurt that bad. I can still feel it whine like my internal organs are getting tied together but I am used to it. I just have to have it at the very front of my mind that I will ha e to get this every month for four days until I am 40. "Gosh this is so humiliating" I rubbed my face as I tossed in bed. Everything is just so humiliating and as for Eva and Nili, I swear I will break them. I w
This can't be happening, not when the two people I will prefer to kill over a million times are seated in the same car with me. Worst still, Xavier was seating right beside me, our bodies can literally touch and no matter how I try to move away, I feel he does come close to me on purpose. My head was still against the chair I was seating on but was turning on the inside together with my mind. Inside the car was really annoyingly loud; listening to the music James had on the car's radio, Xavier's loud headset, and his android sending and receiving messages. It was 7:17 and I wasn't feeling too relaxed in the car even though I was calm. Looking at my phone for a time now and then made me think we were going backward in time. Still in all that shit, to me, the vehicle was as silent as ever until James made a remark that got my attention. I first pretend not to hear him or notice him even saying anything at all but when I looked up, I found him staring at me through the fr
I couldn't just help myself but almost explode in anger, suffocating in my own sweat. Heated from rage and disgust I clenched my fist and screamed inwardly. "Like seriously?", I said out of deep frustration, referring to no one in particular. Well, who would I be talking to? Xavier only looked at me from the car's inner mirror of the car with an emotionless glare. His face went back to his phone and for a moment I can't help but think he is probably watching naked girl twerk. Looking at my father who has a big grin on his face as he stared at Devin through the front mirror. His eyes moved to me for a few seconds and I can bet I saw him smirk. "Oh son, you were really wonderful" he started "like .. I am saying you were super strong handling those kids last I saw you", James said in a praise Worthy manner to Devin who replied with silence. What the heck are they trying to do? Make me piss? Perfect! "I would like to alight now pls!", I said interrupting th
