~Chloe~
To say i was scared was an understatement, i was absolutely petrified. It was one thing for you to receive a letter in Westley Academy, it's another thing for you to receive a letter as the Underdog especially if the sender is a popular influencer in the school, now it's another thing entirely for you to receive a blank letter.
This could mean anything and everything. It could make or mare my very last year as a student of Westley Academy. To be honest i was hoping it was the former but the odds of it be the the former were very slim. So it was settled i was doomed, doomed to the very core.
While i slowly but surely walked out of the kitchen heading for the dining room, I could see how Zoe frantically snatched the letter from Mom's hands looking at it and flipping it over hoping that by so doing some words will magical appear. This was going on for another 30 mins while i was in the dining room brooding, trying my hardest to think of a reasonable explanation for all this.
When i got nothing i went back to the kitchen to find Zoe already eating dinner on the kitchen counter. Not having the energy to talk i just ignored her and walked my way in the kitchen making my own dinner. Once i was done, i took my food back to the dinner table to enjoy the Egusi soup and semo which was prepared.
Few minutes later i took care of the dishes including the one Zoe used to eat. I'm glad she ate it in the kitchen and dropped the plate there, at least it was better than having to find it under my bed 2 weeks later. The fact that i still found the plate she used to eat 5days ago under my bed still irked me. The annoying part is the fact that she does it on purpose to irk me further, i shrugged the thought away.
"Chloe!!!"
"Maa, I'm coming"
I responded to mom's call. I quickly finished up the last of the dish before running up to her room to answer her call. On getting to her door, i knocked gently before letting myself in, scanning the room, i saw her sitting at the edge of the bed looking at the letter.
I sighed and cleared my throat to get her attention which worked thankfully. She looked up as me with a weary smile as if she were holding something back. After holding each others gaze for more than a minute, she finally looked away and patted the space beside her indicating i sit. I obeyed and sat beside her waiting patiently for her to speak up. After 30minutes of enduring the awkward silence she spoke up saying.
"I got a blank letter once and it changed my life forever...i hope it changes yours too"
She mumbled the last part staring at me and i just stare right back at her unable to say anything. She looked away from me second later and asked about Jayson. I didn't know what to say or how best to even answer the question because there was nothing between us, still i had to say something anything at all that would get me out of this situation.
"Umm jay... Jayson is a mare school mate. We are not even in the same class plus we rarely talk, he is just a friend nothing more."
"Oh... Good keeping him that way, these days, boys like him are not to be trusted"
I bobbed my head in responds and even though i wanted to respond saying "no one is to be trusted" i couldn't, i wouldn't ever dare let it fall of my tongue at least not right now. I just gave her a reassuring smile in agreement to her statement. After enduring another long and painful awkward silence, she turned to me handing the letter back to me.
"I believe this belongs to you."
"Yes, thank you ma,"
I collected it, stood up and left for my room. They might not have given us assignments on our first day of resumption but that doesn't mean i don't have a Wattpad novel to read. Getting to my room, i met Zoe sitting on my bed so comfortably as if we had something to discuss. Truth was, we don't, we never did and we never will if she keeps being a complete asshole to me.
Still not having any strength to talk to her, i ignored her, pretending she wasn't even there, i went about doing my thing in my room. Tomorrow was Tuesday which means another tedious day ahead. I folded the letter and tucked it back safely into its envelop, i kept it in one of the side pockets of my school bag before proceeding to arrange the books I'll need for school tomorrow.
Once that was done i contemplated reading for the class i had tomorrow or diving into the Wattpad world, this was a tough choice to make considering i need to to catch up with two book on Wattpad. One is titled "Tearing of my skin" by Jkaloko And the second is "Those little things" by lovetori_xo . They both just released 3 chapters at a go and I so badly wanted to catch up with the two stories. While i was still having trouble with the decision making, Zoe finally spoke up having felt the irking feeling of being ignored.
"Shouldn't you be worried about the blank letter you just received?"
I tilted my head a bit from where i was sitting at my study table, looked her over with a blank expression before looking away. Sure enough, that did the trick, she got up with anger blazing in her eyes hitting her fist on my study table to get my attention as she yelled at me.
"How dear you ignore me!When I'm talking to you i demand an answer! Now tell me, is there something going between you, and my ex boyfriend Jayson?"
"Urrr okay first of rude!, and second do you intend on breaking this table like you did you did the last 3 times?, please if you don't have anything else to do in my room than to disrupt my mental peace then use the door."
I said still sitting at my study table in a calm manner going though my Macbook laptop. Of course Zoe being Zoe hated being told what to do so she stubbornly stood there hollowing insults at my face. Me being me, i did the next best thing to make sure the insults don't get to me, i connected my beat by Dre headphones to my laptop and started listening to all of kygo's albums.
That was all it took to break Zoe. She hated it when she is trying to make me feel bad and worthless and i ignore her completely by listening to music. It really drives her nuts so, she marched out of my room and slammed the door angrily, almost pulling the door off it hinges. I knew i had ticked her of real bad and i just might have to pay for it at school tomorrow.
Thinking of the horrible thing she might do to me at school tomorrow as payback for what i did to her this night were starting to way me down.
In that moment, the song "It ain't me" by Kygo and Selena Gomez was blasting through my headphones. This automatically eased the worried feeling that had creeped up my chest
And i couldn't help the satisfactory smile that appeared on my face.
Kygo was definitely a bliss as i relaxed futher into my study chair that was in front of my study table, i starred blankly at my computer screen; my mind was some place else. I found my self wondering how my last year would play out in Wesley Academy.
Will i forever be the notorious number one underdog of this school? I don't know and I'm not sure i want to find out because with this blank letter i just received from Jayson, it doesn't look like much is going to change.
