The original flame

Chapter 5

Eloise

Rrrrrrrrrrrrrggg !!

Ooh goodness this alarm will be the death of me.I slammed it off getting up lazily and heading straight to my bathroom. I had a quick shower got out to make my bed and applied my lotion then got dressed,I choose to wear a black tee over my blue Jean and black converse. I love black is my favorite color so I make sure I have enough black colored outfits.Heading down the stairs I heard voices and I smiled mom must be making breakfast.”good morning mom, good morning baby” I said as I moved towards Stefan to get a peck.. “good morning honey, how was your night?” Mom replied smiling at me..

“was good mom what are you making?”

I’m making spaghetti and meat balls for lunch”she replied busy with her cooking .okay that makes cereals breakfast I grabbed two bowls and brought down the pack of cereal pouring into both bowls.I brought out milk from the fridge and poured into both plates, I replaced the milk on the fridge and gave my brother a bowl handing him a spoon.I ate quietly while mom asked Stefan about this and that..it’s been two days since I heard her voice.I’ve been trying my best to avoid bumping into her at school but I still see her from afar looking on the floor.I miss her and is really terrible,I don’t even want to go over to their place tomorrow.

“Eloise what are you thinking is already 7:am you want to spend all day thinking?” I heard my mom say, I immediately picked up my plate throwing it in the sink rushing upstairs to pick up my bag and car keys..”Mom where’s our lunch?” I asked immediately I didn’t find it on the dining table. “ Stefan is with it outside waiting for you, come you look so distracted are you okay? Should I drop you guys off?” She said stretching her hands to touch my face once I got close to her.

“ I’m fine mom nothing is wrong” I said smiling at her, I don’t have to add my problem to hers she’s the strongest woman I know.

“Okay baby I believe you but if there’s something wrong you know you can tell me right?”

“Yes mom I know but there’s really nothing wrong” I said pecking her cheek and walking out the door.

“Good bye guys and have a nice day” she said standing at the door.

“Bye mommy” Stefan yelled as we got into the car waving to mom and driving out the compound. “Sis I’m nervous really” Stefan said as soon we were on the streets.

“Why is that baby ?”

“We have this test today and I read about it yesterday but I’m still a bit shaky” he said rubbing his palms together .

I smiled “ you will do very good Stef after all you read just believe in what you read, what test is it anyway?”

“It’s physics”

Wow I’m bad at physics Is not my thing at all so I removed it from my classes. “Don’t worry bro you got this”

I pulled into his block and he got down with his lunch box blowing me a kiss and ran inside.I headed to my block parking properly then I grabbed my lunch box locked the car and ran inside..God please don’t let me bump into her.

Meadow

I opened the car door waved at Dad and walked into the school, marching straight to my locker after getting my books I headed to my first class this Friday.I hate Fridays they remind me I have to stay at home all day with Amber and the twins.Saturday’s I do all kinds of work from laundry to cleaning to taking insults and slaps and pushes except when Amber has visitors or Cathy and Eloise came around.

Gosh talking about Eloise I haven’t seen her for two days, has she stopped messing with me or has she forgotten me?.Someone bumped into me and I smiled turning to see the face I’ve not seen for days only to come face to face with the queen bitch.. “can’t you look where you’re going or are you blind ?” She didn’t wait for an answer then stormed off .

Sophie I call her queen b***h she’s Andrew’s girlfriend and a snub she’s always with her minors, they barely wore clothes always half naked.They are all part of bad bitches with Cathy,Eloise and the twins,I try to avoid them in school.I got to the almost empty classroom and settled down.Then bring out my writing materials I began to think about Eloise,is she in school? why did I smile when I thought she was the one who bump into me.maybe I missed her whiny voice no no no I can’t miss her maybe it just feels awkward when somebody who’s always in your face just disappears for days. This is weird the last time I didn’t see her in school was when I broke my ankle, why I’m I even thinking about her.. I slapped my cheek and tried to get her face out of my head but it didn’t work I groaned in frustration leaning my head on the table.

“Good day class” I raised my head to see our English teacher already inside let’s focus now shall we.

After my last class I hurried outside this time I just wanted to know if she was in school because I have nobody to ask not like I can ask the twins. I managed to squeeze myself outside then walked to the parking lot looking for the familiar yellow Lexus once I sighted it I started walking closer. Just before I got real close to it I hid behind a pillar and decided to wait for her.I don’t know why I’m doing this because for her car to be here means she’s in school I could’ve left but I wanted to see her and kill a little bit time.

I heard laughters and I could make out nessa’s so I knew they were coming and hid properly.Then I saw her I let out the breath I didn’t know I was holding,she wasn’t laughing just had a little smile on her face and looking around the parking lot like somebody was after her. So now I’m sure she’s in school maybe something is wrong or she got tired of playing with me not like I’m complaining come on, if anything I’m happy that she has stopped. I waited for them to get into their cars surprisingly the twins got into Cathy’s which leaves her alone they both drove out and I walked out to go home.
