"Nice one " someone said giving me an uptop.
These are the kind of responses ive been getting all day.
"guess you got famous in a day "lya said coming out from among the crowd flinging her left arm over my shoulder.
"yeah , i guess pranking Vaughn brings out the fame" i shrugged .
"Hey " i heard Vaughn shout from the entrance.
"What , you here to release something unfavourable Infront of the whole school" i snickered.
"You are going to pay for all this" he said.
"Well you started it so we're even now" i smiled innocently.
"We're not even until i say we are even" he said pushing the entrance door and walking out
Okay then guess i have to expect alot of things coming my way.
Lya and I went up to her car and she drove to my house.
"I'll drop by later I've got something to deal with" she said giving me a pat on my shoulder.
I sighed grabbing my bag from the back seat and walked into my house
......
"Hey dad" i said placing the flowers i ordered earlier on the grave stone.
"I know it's been long since i visited , i have no excuse for that , ive been busy lately with school and all but I'm here now right?" I said chuckling.
"I miss you so much, mum is trying her best to be strong for us but i know deep in side , she is struggling" i said choking on my sobs.
"School has been hell thou, still as stressful as always. I made a new friend other than lya, you may know him, son of the CEO of Vaughn's enterprise. He is Bi-polar and his mood swings are annoying as hell but he is nice when he wants to be" i said with a shrug.
"I can't talk to mum about this because you know how she gets, she will get the idea that we are more than friends" if he was still alive he would have laughed probably remembering the last time i talked to mum about this type of situation in middle school. I smiled at the memory, i spent alot of time talking about how my day went until i felt liquid drop on my skin. I looked up and saw the sky turn a darker shade, indicating an upcoming rain. I said my goodbyes and got my keys and walked home since its not so far.
When i got home the lights were switched off.
"Mum" i called out and got no response, maybe she got a late shift. I walked to the fridge to get something to eat and saw a note sticking on the door of the fridge.
'having a late shift, leftovers are in the microwave, love you~mom'
I opened the microwave and got out the leftover lasagna set it down on the kitchen counter, got my cutlery and sat down , the front door swung open.
"I'm home bitch" lya shouted as she slammed the door shut.
"You are lucky mum isn't home yet"
"When am i not lucky"she said grinning.
"Whatever" i said as i began eating, not having much appetite anyways.
Lya walked into the kitchen and stayed on the sofa at the corner.
"Lasagna?" I asked , she shrugged and got a cutlery and digged in . I pushed the plate a bit further from me. as i watched her finish the plate in less than a minute. How could she stomach all this.
When she was done i got the plates and put it in the sink, i got an orange juice from the fridge and passed it to her knowing if i offer her water she probably wont take it.
I walked into the sitting room and turned on the tv and switched to Netflix searching for a movie to watch. I stopped at 'a week away' . Lya turned off the lights and sat down beside me , we're probably not gonna end up completing the movie anyways. Watching movie with lya is like going on a field trip to hell, she asks alot questions whether it concerns the movie or not she doesn't care.
At the middle of the movie the questions started.
"You okay" she said turning towards me .
I hummed not diverting my attention from the tv.
"Ailin" she said pausing the movie.
"Hey i was watching that" i groaned
"Are you okay" she asked again
"I'm fine" i sighed.
"You dont look fine" she said turning on the lights.
"I'm fine okay, just had a little chat with dad earlier" i said .
"How you holding up, do you need me to leave"
"No , stay" i said shaking my head.
"Even if you told me to leave i wont , you aint get rid of me that easily" she said smiling.
I let out a light chuckle and stretched my hands to turn off the lights. I quickly collected the remote and unpaused the movie before she regenerates more questions that is out of this world.
......................
When the credits were rolling the door bell sounded. I groaned pulling a sleeping lya off of me. I walked to the door and opened it revealing a tired looking Vaughn.
"Hey you wanna go for a walk" he asked giving me a weak smile .
I checked up on lya and covered her up with the blanket lying on the floor , i walked back to the door , grabbed my keys and my Jacket closing the door quietly behind me.
