Chereads / Blooming in April / Chapter 24 - Chapter twenty

Chapter 24 - Chapter twenty

I pull the duvet off of me and stand up, my back aches as I stretch out my body and mind alike dreading the second worst day of the year. The start of school which coincidentally, starts on the worst day of the week; Tuesday.

Yesterday was Monday which is also a very bad day but I mean since Monday is bad Tuesday should also be bad.

I always hate waking up on Mondays cos it connotes the start of a slow, tedious 5 days journey with a roller coaster of emotions and let's not forget the 9 hours compulsory headaches in class.

I hate Tuesdays cos it's after Monday.

Honestly there's nothing sweet and intriguing like weekends.

I. Fucking. Hate. Weekdays. Yuck.

"Hurry up honey you don't want to be late for your first week in senior year." My mom banged on the door revealing herself in a very disheveled hair and a toothbrush sticking out of her mouth with a big towel wrapped around her small frame.

"Thanks mom I'm up already and very excited" I said and smiled at my mom with my thumbs up.

"I'm proud of you baby you'll be in college in a matter of months" she said with her eyes glistening again. She kissed my temple and went out.

If you are waiting for a sign this is definitely your sign to work harder and be the best you can.

Yup!! April you need to complete this stage in life called high school if not for me I need to consider my beautiful mom.

I walked lazily and angrily to bathroom to make myself look and smell good.

The class was bustling with nosies from irrelevant people I just silently walked to my seat I honestly didn't want to be involved in any drama or gossips today and I sincerely pray Blair and Sam would notice that and leave me alone for now.

The room fades into silence as our new physics teacher slams the front door shut- I smiled as I thought about a certain red head. This is definitely something bloom will do she loves making her presence known in class in a very weird way.

So romantic and sweet I thought and smiled widely again.

"What !!!!!" I exclaimed with my jaw dropping.

Our new physics teacher must be horny or depressed or maybe deprived of love cos wtf, how will a normal human with joy in their heart do what he just did.

He just announced a surprise test on the first day of class to 'refresh our memories' so he stated.

"By the way my name is Olsen kiwi but it's mr Olsen to you". He said with a very powerful voice and smile.

The whole class were grumbling with annoyed while taking the extremely hard test. I'm not even trying to exaggerate by saying all the questions were strange and I've never seen em before.

"Kiwi asin the fruit?" Olivia muttered from the back and every one laughed.

"I heard that" Mr Olsen said quirkily.

"That's actually the aim" a certain rando from the back said and that earned Mr Olsen another laughter from the class

"You're gonna fail how bout that!!" He yelled clearly frustrated.

"I'm gonna use the bathroom!!! How bout that !!!!" The certain rando girl yelled .

"Me too cos I'm gonna fail either way !!! How bout that !!!" Olivia yelled.

And one by one almost every one stated a dumb fact that ended with how bout that and left the class. I was the only one remaining in the front row

Yes !!!!! Don't say it out !!!!!

I'm sitting face to face with Mr Olsen the new physics teacher that just got bullied.

"Sorry bout that" I muttered stressing the 'bout' while trying hard to hold my laughter.

"Yeah it's nothing. I've faced more as a teacher" he said and laughed nervously.

I just glared at him and said nothing.

"What's your name" he asked.

Read the room weirdo you are not wanted here get the fuck out.

"April" I said gathering my books to leave.

"See April I'm from Ohio the ..."

Yeah I left the class.

He has to be from Ohio I said and laughed so loud when I got to the hallway. Sorry to those remaining in the class.

I went to my locker to pick my literature note. It's the only class I sincerely enjoy.

Well it used to be history till bloom became my teacher and I lost focus and zeal for the subject. My focus was more on her

I stood there day dreaming about her.

"Hey babe" someone said and hugged me from behind.

Nooooooooooo !!!! I yelled inwardly.

"Hey baby" I turned and kissed my boyfriend sweetly.

Yuck that activity definitely drained the rest of my happiness and mental health for the day.

My next three classes fly by before the inevitable lunch break comes - a time of social isolation and humiliation for people who have no one to sit next to.

It's not like I don't have friends well technically I don't unless you wanna count my boyfriend and bestie. So I just don't have people I hang out with outside specific classes.

I adjusted my clothes and ran my hand through my already ruffled hair I took a deep breath before making my way to the cafeteria doorway I scan the room observing the large crowds of people funneling through I back up and turn towards the only familiar seat I know where Blair,Sam and other random sat.

My life kept going in that order for the longest time.

I just Loosed the zeal to be close with anyone all I wanted was bloom and I even tried stalking her on social media but it didn't exactly work.

Honestly??? I think I'm in love

~~~~~~~~~~——————~~~~~~~

I got home really late on Friday cos I had this tiring cheer practice that drained life out of my soul I got home around 7 and mom was still at work.

That's odd cos she gets home around 5. she's probably running late or she's on a date I thought with a shrug. Who'll blame her she's been alone for the longest.

I called my mom for the fifth time that night and she still wasn't answering her phone.

My bedside clock read 10:29 pm.

I am so worried I called her workplace and all but no one is picking the calls.

What if ....

What if she's dead nooo nooo what if she was involved in a car accident?? Jules sister was hit by a car. What if she was kidnapped???? What if her date made her really drunk and .....

I started pacing round the room already overthinking the whole situation cos where's my mom !!!!!

Where's my mom !!!!

'Bitch calm down she's gonna be fine!!!!' I heard my inner voice yell at me.

"Oh there you are. Where the hell have you been??. Do you really think mom's fine ??? How's bloom ???"

'Nope not today. Bye sweetheart' the voice said and left again.

Yippie way to go voice. And for your information that wasn't comforting at all !!!!

Now I'm more worried !!!!!

I honestly hope my mom is fine. Where's she.

I'm so doomed how will I wake up early to go to school. Who will monitor my eating schedule and make sure I'm not hurting my self. Omg I planned to tell mom about bloom and probably Charlotte.

I was planning to bring my parents back together and not this !!! My mom goes missing ok technically she's not missing but .....

————-~~~~~~~~~~~~~————-

Ok this is like the most irrelevant chapter of this book. It's so pointless and unnecessary. But there'll be more irrelevant chapters cos why not 🥺💔😭😩. And yeah this is still April POV. Bloom is probably somewhere being mean or intensely making out with Avery either way I hope she's fine wherever she is. Ignore the mistakes I'll correct them tomorrow.
