chapter 1
Mira's Pov
"Ouch!", I screamed as I rolled off my bed and fell hard on my butt. My mom came into my room, " Mirabel what's wrong?".
"Aish...I need to put edges around my bed or maybe get a wider bed", I replied. I keep falling off lately, so damn tired of it.
"Your dad has already ordered a king sized bed from Italy, it'll be coming in to tomorrow Mira, you just have to manage for tonight and try not to roll off again. Now go get ready for school, you won't like to be late." Mom said.
I dashed into my bathroom to wash up but ended up hitting my toe against the door. Yea, that's exactly how clumsy I'm. "s**t! Could thisday get any worse urghh!", I mumbled.
I wore a beige loose pants and a white tank top which brought out my midsized boobs, tiny waist and a well sculpted ass and hips a dream body of every teenage girl or lady I thought. I made my way downstairs and the house was filled with the aroma of the egg and bacon sandwich that my housekeeper Annie made.
"Good morning Annie", I said as I grabbed my meal ,walked out the house and made way to the elevator. “Ding!!” the elevator opened, there was Jim, Jimmy Whites the most annoying self absorbed dude I've known through out the entire 17 years I have lived on planet earth.
"Sup scatterbrain", Jim said. "Hope you didn't leave your brain at home today?"
" f**k off Jim, do you really have to be annoying this early morning?"
Well I've known Jim since my family and I moved from Singapore to Canada into one of the luxurious buildings which was where I met Jim during the building's launch. He was by the chocolate fountain with some kids stuffing their faces with chocolate. Our moms got close and he has been a pain to my ass ever since. Our parents made us attend school with the opinion of "you two can have each other's back". Theonly back we have got is backstabbing.
The elevator doors opened and I was about to get off the elevator at the basement garage when Jim snatched my bag and ran off. I ran after him but he entered his car ignited his engine, wound down his window, stuck his tongue out, made a funny face and just drove away.
"Geez!...will he ever grow up?". At least, I was holding my car's key in my hands so getting to school wouldn't be a hassle. When I got to school, I alighted from my car and proceed to look for Jim, ohh he's so dead if I find him. I went through the hallways peeping into each classrooms, people especially the boys turned to stare at me. Did I forget to mention, I was kinda popular in school just because of my good looks though. I'm not that smart, I have to admit. Lots of students whispered to themselves as I passed through the hallway though I could hear most of what they said, I could hear some asking who or what I was looking for while some complimented my looks but I wasn't interested in whatever they said.
The school bell rang and it was time for my art class, I was yet to find Jim. "f**k!" I cursed, I'm going to be late for class at this point. I was already seeing red when I saw my bestfriend Stephanie running down the hallway. Unfortunately, she was also late for art class and Mr. Jackson doesn't find it funny when students are late for his class.Guess I will be going to class without my schoolbag thanks to the most annoying human, Jim.
We were both trying to sneak in but was caught by mr. Jackson. " Both of you halt, who do we have here? Miss Sterling and miss Daniels. "Why are you both late to my class?".
We both froze immediately he called out our names I explained that I had an emergency but Mr. Jackson was being an asshole then told us to stand in front of the class while he taught. Today just got worse than I imagined. Jim was in my art class and he smirked when our eyes met. What was he doing in my art class? He never took art. He is probably there to watch my dismay. I dread the day I met Jim. Stephanie and I stood there timidly when while Mr. Jackson taught.
I keep glaring at Jim the entire period, only if looks could kill he would be dead right now. Our eyes would meet occasionally and he had grinned like a maniac he was. I was lost in thought on how to get back at him when the teacher asked me a question, I was thrown out of my thought and came back to reality.
"Miss Daniels, what is the most basic element of art used to form many different things and is the path of a dot through space?" Mr. Jackson asked.My brain went blank, "I don't know" I replied. The whole class laughed. He then turned to Stephanie, what of you miss Sterling?
"Line", Steph replied.
"You can go sit miss Sterling." I was left standing alone feeling dumb. After what felt like forever the class was finally over. I matched to where Jim was seated laughing with some girls that kept throwing themselves at him. I was really pissed at him, he stopped laughing when I came over, he gave me my bag without me saying a word guess he knew I was in a bad mood. The final bell rang for the school over, that's my favorite time of the day, I bid Steph goodbye and rushed out of the class to go home. I just hope I don't encounter Jim today, I've had enough of him. When I got home it was already past 5, what a long day it has been for me, met Annie at the kitchen preparing dinner, heyyy I said to her.
"You are back, how was school?" She asked.
"Horrible" i said and "it's all Jim's fault."
She looked at me questionably knowing she was waiting for an explanation but was too tired and pissed off to explain.
"Is mom back?" I changed the topic."Not yet but she'll be back soon", she said, "I'll be getting off work soon and I'm almost done with dinner."
"Okay", I replied, "you can leave when you're done."
Annie has been our house keeper for almost a year, she's good at her job and knows when not to pry too much that's one thing I like about her. Not to mention she's a great cook.
I went up to wash up and change into my house wear. After bathing I slept off. I woke few minutes later when heard dad's voice, looked at the time, it was fews minutes past 8. My tummy grumbled, forgot to eat before sleeping off. I went downstairs and saw my parents cuddled up each other arms. Seems they're having one of the romantic moments. They do that all the time but I can't get use to seeing them all lovey dovey, I mean they are my parents, no one wants to see their parent in that kind of position, it would have looked cute if they aren't my parents.
"Yikksss", I mustered,". Could you two get a room? There is a teenager in the house."
They giggled when they heard me. "You're awake sweetheart. Your dinner is on the table.""I want a tutor", I blurted out. My parents were momentarily stunned. They had suggested that I get a tutor a lot of times, but I refused. They looked at each other and then to me, what did you do to our baby? Who are you? "Hahaha... not funny", I said to them. I was embarrassed in class today and I don't want such happening again.
"Okay, we'll look for a commendable tutor for you. Anything for our baby girl, "Do you want to talk about what happened today?", My dad asked while looking sympathetic.
"I'd rather not." I quickly finished my meal and left them to continued their romantic moment. Goodnight mom and dad, I yelled while going up.
"Goodnight sweetheart", both said.
