Chapter 9 - “KEEPING DISTANCE “

" You ain't gonna talk with me or what huh?" He said with a mocking smile.

" You know I really do admire the both of you,you're so crazily perfect together huh" her dad laughed.

"Dad…" she whispered.

" I'm only joking Belle " he smirked.

" She's my perfect match you know Mr Morries, I've always wanted a sibling and especially a sister, but I never got one and would never" he gave a feigned smile.

" Why do you say that? Your parents ain't past the age of child birth, so they could give you a baby sis huh. You know we agreed to have Miranda when we realized that Mirabel would really need a sibling "

" Hmm Jeremy sighed. Well I guess I don't have that chance anymore " he said with a blank face.

"And why so?" Her dad asked with concern.

"They are leaving "

"Leaving? I don't understand" her dad replied confused.

"Hmm, he sighed. How about we talk about that later? I'm not really in the right kind of mind to do that now" he shrugged.

" Hmm, her dad sighed. Okay then , promise to talk when you feel like?" He asked with so much concern as though he were his biological son.

" Yeah I do" he smiled.

" Bye Mr Morries, he said to her dad as he headed towards his apartment, and bye pretty angry Puppy he laughed.

" Won't you at less say bye to him? I don't think he's still upset with you " her dad advised.

" Good night dad" she said as she rushed into their house.

Her mom and Miranda were sitted watching a movie as she walked in.

" You guys found him ?" Mrs Morries asked as she sighted her daughter.

" Shouldn't we have ?" She replied heading straight to her room.

" Haven't you guys ended the battle yet?" Miranda asked with a roll of her eyes.

" Good night mom" Mirabel shouted from the passage.

" Ain't they old enough to settle their disputes amicably? I'm so tired of their quarrels mom"

" And who made you a judge in their matter huh?"Her mom laughed, you should just focus on your studies okay?" She said sternly.

" Hmm, little Miranda sighed. Her mom hasn't supported her this time.

" Morning mom"Mirabel greeted as she walked into the kitchen. Her mom was busy chopping some vegetables on a chopping board.

" How was your night hon" she asked with a smile.

"Wasn't so great" she shrugged.

" Why wasn't it hon?"her mom asked with a sweet smile.

" Don't act like you don't know mom? She rolled her eyes, all the yesterday's drama is enough for a tiring night". She yawned.

" Pass me the jar" her mom said pointing at a jar at the far end of the kitchen table.

" You wanna put some orange liquid into the cooking? "She smiled.

" Ya all like it right?"

" Yeah we do " she said happily.

Few minutes later she found herself in school .She met her friends at the front of the school waiting for her.

" Heyyy guys" she called to them .

"Hey Belle" Emily replied.

" Hey ya that's the name my dad calls me" she rolled her eyes at her.

" I know, Emily laughed.Do you even know what it means? She asked as they headed to their classroom.

"Of cause I know what it means, popular and pretty girl huh?she smiled at her friends.

"Yeah dearie,and that's exactly what you're " Emily giggled.

"Hey ya , what's making you guys to be quiet? Mirabel asked on noticing the silent behavior her twin friends were giving. I hope all is good huh?"

"Yeah we're okay " they replied.

" You're sure?she asked again feeling more concerned, you guys are usually quiet".

"We're okay Bel, it's just that Betsy had a little brawl with Olive" Becky replied .

"Oh she sighed, I hope you resolve your issues soon okay?She smiled at them.You're really a great pair huh, Olive with Betsy,Olivia with Becky,what a sweet pair,unlike us." She made a little laugh.

"Hey guys " they heard behind them, they all turned to see who it was.

"Hey Jeremy " They all shouted with ecstasy.

"Heading to class?" He asked.

"Yeah we're "Emily replied with a smile.

"Hey Puppy ,he said to Mirabel. All he got was silence. She continued walking with her friends without sparing him a glance.Are you still put out with me? "He lashed with a laugh.

"This guy is really crazy she thought , does he expects me to easily forgive him after all the drama he played last night? If he thinks I would easily forgive then he is really crazy " she laughed in her head.

"Hey Bel"they heard behind them.
