"Is that your cousin?" Gab asks after he sits.
"Father's wife" I shake my head.
He is shocked.
"She tried seducing me before you got down"
"No surprise"
"Anyways, go dress, we are going out"
"Now?"
"Now"
"I'd have to shower tho"
"I can wait"
Running back to my room, I take a quick shower, throwing on a skirt and shirt. I hear voices and I hurry down, father is standing with Laura hiding behind him and Gab, as usual Gab's face is neutral.
"Who let this riffraff into my house"
"Your wife" Technically she opened the door.
"I don't want to see him anywhere close to my house"
"What did he do?"
"He.. he tried to rape me" Laura stuttered.
I could see it was an act.
"Are you ready to go?" Gab asked me, not minding the accusation against him. Sighing I nod.
"Keep your dog on a leash" I tell father as I leave the house.
"Why not leave?" gab ask
"Mother can't"
"How did you get your scars?" I ask.
"Lived with an abusive father, before I got adopted" Oh.
We go to the playground from Christmas.
There's a picnic cloth and basket on the grass.
"Wanted to get away from everything. He says and I don't complain.
When I get home Laura was in the living room
"Your father is out of town, and my brother would be coming to stay with us" I sigh.
"Did you ask my mother?"
"I am a member of this family too, I don't need her permission" I ignore her going to my room.
"Don't you go to school again?" Ikenna ask from his door.
"I read at home" I shrug
Ever since my exams got closer, I hardly went to school.
The moment I hit my bed, I'm fast asleep.
I dress up for school, wearing my shirt and my skirt, I pick up the tie, but I toss it away. Taking in my features in the mirror.
I'm dark skinned, with dark orbs. Tiny bits of freckles scattered on my face. My boobs are normal sized, I don't have slim waist. My ass is normal sized too. I'm not too pretty. And my body isn't sexy. Sighing I wear my hoodie, putting on my crocs. I take my empty bag and hang it over my shoulder, locking my door behind me I leave for school.
"Miss Matthews I dont see you in class again" Chemistry professor say.
"I don't come to school again"
"You feel you are big enough to skip school"
He wrote a reaction on the board
"Balance this" I hear snickers at the back.
I give him a blank look.
"You can't?"
Standing from my seat, i walk over to the board, I could feell people's stare behind me, I hate being the center of attraction.
Quickly balancing it, I go back to my seat.
Rest of the period went by without much.
I go to the restroom to wash my hand. I was about leaving when a voice stops me
"Can you imagine she thinks she is better" someone said from the other cubicle.
I stopped to listen
"The way she carries herself. And she is proud"
O...Kay but who?
The door open two girls stepping out
"I Just hate Oma"
They were two of her slave girls. Jackie and Cynthia
They paused when they saw me.
Glaring daggers at me, they hissed walking past.
Well isn't that interesting
Oma is standing next to her locker with two of her entourages. She's holding a paper and they are talking in hushed tones. When she sees me she hides the paper behind her
"Cause that wasn't suspicious at all" I roll my eyes.
"What do you want?" She hissed.
I walk past her without a word..
