Chapter 26

I look out my room window biting my lips contemplating whether I should do this or not-leave my house.

I knew I couldn't hide here forever

They'd probably find me anyway

But the thought of stepping a foot seemed like hell

As I stood watching nothing in particular I tapped my Fendy ankle boots on the marble floor.The anticipation killing me slowly.

I hear my door open and I turn knowing exactly who it is

"Ma'am you're going to be late for school,you should get going"she says with genuine concern in her voice

Today she wore her blue maid attire with her hair in her usual low bun.She looked pretty and the color really suits her brown skin

If I wasn't in such a tense mood I would have complimented her.

I give her a tight lipped smile trying to hide my innitial moody face

"I'll be right down"I say

She smiles and leaves the room, closing the door gently as she does so.

As soon as she leaves I start to pace internally panicking as I twiddled my thumbs my heart beating fast

"Damn it"I mutter

I guess i'll have to go.I don't want her to get suspicious.Ever since yesterday we seemed to have created a sort of strong bond and I'd even dare to say we're close….too close.

She might get suspicious if I don't go and I don't want her in my business.

I look myself in the mirror putting on my best resting bitch face on.I need to look as unfazed as possible.I straighted my back and stand up straight,I straighten out my black coat to make sure I look gorgeous.I pick up my shades that lays right next to my surviving sim card from yesterday and I make a mental note to get myself a new phone.

I pick up my bag and go downstairs in my usual manner.Hips swaying from side to side

Today I decided to wear all black as to not stand out,I need to lay as low as possible

"Oh ma'am you're finally down stairs"comes Sarah from the kitchen

"I knew you'll be running late so I packaged your food for you" she says gesturing her elbow at the kitchen counter

I turn my gaze to it and see a transparent container with a blue lid neatly filled with fruits.I flash her a tight lipped smile and pick it up

"Thank you"I reply flashing her another tight lipped smile

I walk outside and slow down while looking my car in my garage slowly realizing something, maybe I should change my ride.I'll do that later

I get in and drive off,with my gps I locate a phone shop

I'm definitely going to need it anyway.I reach a big phone shop and my gps notifies me that I've reached my destination.I put on my shades and atm card from my purse and head out into the store.I receive a few glances but everyone goes back to their usual activity and a man who seems to be the store owner welcomes me warmly.

I buy a phone of my choice and pay

As I'm paying the cashier tries stealing glances.Obviously trying to see through my shades to identify me

I look straight at him with a straight face right in the eyes catching him off guard

"What?"I ask in a calm monotone voice

"Um nothing it's just that you look like someone I've seen"he says trying to explain himself

"That's funny I get that alot" I reply maintaining the act

"I apologize if I've made you uncomfortable I-"he says but I cut him off mid sentence not ready to hear him babble

"Like I said I get that alot"as I take the package of phone out of his hands walking right out of the store

I get into my car and remove the phone from the package and plug it to my car, immediately charging it and I drive off

It should be considerably charged by the time I get to campus

As I drive I scan the road the the people walking by alert for danger or any form of threats

The last thing I need is to be taken off guard

Surprisingly the ride to school isn't as traumatizing as I expected.I bite my lips as I see the campus up ahead my stomach churning.

I breathe out with sturdy hands on the wheels

I've got this

I hope

I drive into the parking lot with ease my usual spot left open.I take out the phone and my purse leaving the food inside as I put my shades on.I step out gracefully heading towards the building entrance as I turn on the phone

"Hey!"someone calls out in a yelling tone out but I ignore,they couldn't possibly be talking to me

"Bitch I'm talking to you"says an icy cold voice in a nearer proximity to me blocking my path

I raise my head from the phone sliding it into my coat pocket as I finally turn my full attention to the annoyed looking Selena Rodriguez right in front of me.She inhales her cigar and blows it out as she looks at me up and down before throwing it on the ground, crushing it with her heels.

A fellow student passes but stops when he sees her throw the cigar

"Smoking is prohibited, you're going to get in trouble"he says

"Shut the fuck up"she responds yelling startling him as he scurries away

I glance at him for a second, he's chubby with round cheeks,dressed up like the way nerds would from our highschool years.From the looks of it he's probably a know it all too.

I chuckle "poor guy you scared him"I mutter

I take off my glasses slowly locking eyes with her wondering what the hell could possibly make us indulge in this unpleasant union of a conversation.

She walks towards me, arms crossed,eyes on me,she halts inches away from my face, towering over me with her height,she was two inches taller than I was so I had to look up a bit.

"What the fuck is going on between you and Raphael?"she asks coldly

I chuckle internally

This is what you blocked my path for,for that idiot?

To think that this would have been me a few years ago when he cheated on me with her is quite hilarious, don't you think?

Regardless I put on my resting bitch face

"Nothing is going on between us sweety,I'm not even your problem I wouldn't even go near him at this point"I reply"what you should be wondering is if he's sleeping with some girl next door, y'know what I mean"I continue leaning over whispering into her ear

Her face changes,she looks uncomfortable and slightly embarrassed only because we both know what I'm saying is true.

He was a bit if a hoe back then in highschool,changes his girls like it was a normal as drinking water,and now that I think about it I don't know what I was thinking when I had thoughts that he'd be faithful to me.The thought of it is quite funny now and I can't help but laugh.

I chuckle not being able to hold it in and she looks more uncomfortable than over as she struggles to keep her composure.

"He's not like that anymore, he's changed"she counters making me pause my laughter

"Changed?"I ask "sweety if you're still with that guy you have another thing coming,stay safe"genuinely feeling sorry for her as I brushed passed her putting heading to my class.
