Chereads / " The Perfect Girl " / Chapter 23 - Ragging Storm

Chapter 23 - Ragging Storm

The moment was so magical that we didn't notice everyone was starring at us we were so caught up in licking each other's lips our tongues touching .

After like 5minutes of that , we opened our eyes everyone's attention was on us .

" ....woooo..... " someone cheered and everyone started applauding and cheering . I didn't quite know the reason for that .

I was still holding Tess and so was she .

She cleared her voice and pushed me away gently she was so shy that I could notice it .

I mean who wouldn't be , half of the kids in the club were starring at us as if we were some kind of entertainment and to make matters worse the spot light was put on us .

At that moment the cheerleaders came and surrounded us .

" Tess why didn't you tell us about your new boyfriend " one named Sophia asked with an excited yet surprised face .

Tess didn't reply .

"....Because Tess is still my girlfriend " Ralph said passing through the crowd with crutches .

I just stayed there in one position I couldn't move the moment felt so awkward .

" No I'm not....I'm with Troy now " Tess said pulling me and wrapping her arms around me .

I could sense that Ralph was about to snap and that wouldn't end well . I was a little drunk so I couldn't maintain my balance .

I just dragged Tess away from there she didn't revolt but just went along .

We passed through the crowd and we were outside .

As soon as we got out of the club she removed her hand out of my grip .

" Hey what gives...I wanted to show Ralph whose the better now . " she said although I was not completely sober I could see that she's also drunk.

For a moment there I got goosebumps thinking that she had kissed me because she was drunk .

Amanda came out of the club rushing .

" Tess we should head home " she said to Tess grabbing her arm .

" Let go Amanda I still want to be with my Troy "she sounded like a drunkard but that was enough to make my heart jump in excitement and believe that she really wanted to stay with me .

Though I was becoming dizzy I could still see her pretty face .

" Sorry about her " Amanda said to me and dragged Tess to their car and drove away . I was again left there , I think I'm about to pass out this headache is fucking my head up .

" Hey Troy there you are " I was dizzy but I could see a female figure in front of me as I struggled with my balance .

" Mom is that you " I blubbered out falling to the ground .

" Troy...Troy...are you ok " were the last words I heard before I passed out completely .

I woke up the next morning in bed .

The last think I remember is kissing Tess at the club .I couldn't recall anything else after that .

" Was it all a dream " I asked myself .

I raised up to sit " oowh fuck " I have a bad headache .

I just laid back again . I looked at the table and my phone was right there . It had a lot of notification . I first looked at the time . It was 10:00a.m. I was shocked , in my room there was a bit of darkness so I thought it was still early , I rushed to the window curtains , to open them , rays of sunshine fell into my eyes making them somehow painful . I was so worried .

I heard a knock at the door ,

" It must be Mom " I said to myself preparing for whatever she's gonna say to me .

I first hesitated to answer the door ,

" Can I come in " Mom said . Of course it's open I can't refuse to answer it .

" come in " I said with a calm voice and rushed to my bed and covered myself .

She opened the door gently , she was holding a bowl .

" I made you soup " she said with a calm voice sitting on my bed and smiling .

" What the heck is going on ? " I said in my mind wondering why she isn't scolding me for drinking alcohol . " And why isn't she at work " all these questions were in my mind . I raised up a bit and took the bowl of soup in my arms.

There was a moment of silence as I ate the warm soup with a spoon . I didn't want to say anything stupid to land myself in trouble so I wanted her to say what she knows .

" Your friends brought you back last night " she said breaking the silence . I stopped taking the soup as I didn't know what she was talking about.

I looked at her .

" Yeah " I said to her . " Don't say another word Troy " my inner voice warned me . I listened to it , I didn't say another word I continued eating my soup .

I raised my head only meeting mom's eyes , She was looking at me like a raging storm about to strike.

" What ? " I said in a soft voice .

" So you gonna play dumb " she said still looking at me seriously .

I didn't know what to say . so I just looked at her .

" You were brought home at 10:00p.m drunk .... looking like a fool . I bet you didn't know what was going on , if it wasn't for Jenny you would have been found at the club in the morning . " she said raising her voice .

" I thought you had changed ...Troy " she said with a voice full of emotions .

I couldn't find any excuse this time . I just looked at her feeling sorry for what I had done .

" You even missed school because of this , I should have not let you play basketball " she said with anger in her voice .

How I wished I could disappeare from this place but I couldn't get out of this one . So I had to come straight .

" Mom I'm really sorry for what happened " I said in the most humble and apologetic tone I could find in myself .

She stood there and looked at me seriously .

" I promise it won't happen again " I added .

" it better not your lucky I'm in a good mood today or else things would have been bad for you Mr. " she said in a calm voice .

I was somehow relieved hearing her say that .

" Really I'm I off the hook " I said in excitement .

" Oh no no no no ...you are not off the hook mister you are grounded for 2weeks from school to home no moving and weekends you stay at home plus all choirs are to be done by you " she said in a commanding tone and gave me a smirk then exited the room .

I heard her saying while living the room " off the hook haaa you wish " sarcastically .

Although I was given all these punishments I felt relieved it could have been worse than that .

" So it was Jenny who brought me back home " I thought to myself and went to take a shower .
