Chapter 40
"Dad am gonna be late for school I've got to go" I said moving out from the room leaving my dad there with his thoughts..I know get deserves to be happy but I just couldn't stand the fact that someone else was taking my mum's place..I washed up and took my lunch box..I was danm late ND the freaking school bus has already taken off so I had to take a cab
"Tonia let me drop u off at school"
"Don't worry dad..I'll just take a cab"
"Tonia"
"Dad am fine" I said in an angry tone and my dad was sad I could feel it
"Are u free later??"
" No..Ronald and I are going for shopping
"Alright u can go"
.
.
.....................
"Have a nice day hon"
"Alright I will" she said and disappeared I went back upstairs to my room and took out a little picture of Tonia when she was little I know I know this is all my fault the reason why she is so distant an angry..ive never given her my attention even when she needs it..I've been focusing on work more than family..I've restricted her for too long I think it's time for her to be free and tommorow is her 18 birthday I guess I should surprise her..it will be my little present for her...
.
.........at school................
..
I walked through the hallway...it was empty obviously because everyone had gone to class now and I couldn't contact Ronald or Brad ...phones were not allowed in the lecture room..I went to the cafeteria and sat down on an empty chair...
......................
What d heck was dad thinking, he didn't expect me to accept that woman did he?? Questions upon questions clouded my mind and head that I didn't even notice,the gone and the cafeteria was getting crowded until I felt someone hold my shoulders
"Tonia...u weren't in class ,I was worried". I turned and it was Ronald my bestie, no wonder I felt better
"U cant believe what Happened to me"
"Did granny spill her coffee on u??" Brad asked coming from nowhere,he was actually smiling which made me sick and angry
"I saw dad with some woman on my way home yesterday" I said shifting my attention to Ronald
"and ??" Brad said sounding curious
"Brad please leave us..this is a girls stuff" Tonia snapped at Brad .. hopefully he left and I was alone with her
"Tonia ,they might be business partners"
"I know they were holding hands"
"Well that's odd"
"This May sound weird but ..I sware that woman looks famiToniar
"Who??"
"The woman I saw with dad"
"Oh"
"I can't help but feel like I've met her somewhere "
"Think Tonia think" Ronald said and cheering me up
"The way she looked at me was really scary"
"Wait a sec. . maybe she knows u"
"Maybe or maybe not"
.
.
.
"Let go of me " I heard screams from the other side of the cafeteria and both Ronald and I looked to see what was going on ...it was nikki and her followers...they were picking on a gal, well that's strange I haven't seen that girl around the school before, she must be new her books were scarted on the floor while Nikki and Jane surrounded her nobody dared challenge Nikki but I just couldn't hold it back any longer I don't know how or why I was feeling the urge to help that helpless girl out everyone was still starring not wanting to help out in order not to get on the queens bad list..i stood up and pushed Nikki away then helped the girl carry up her books until I felt some one push me
"HEY!!" I screamed at Nikki
"What are u doing?" She asked squiring at me
"Ain't u ashamed of yourself?? All u do is pick on people and show urself off .. can't u be of help to the community??"
"Who d heck do u think ur talking to?"
"Isn't it obvious...am talking to u scumbag"
"Ur gonna pay for this ..Toniamen ..mark my words" she stumbled out of the hall pushing me out of the way with her shoulders
"Go f**k urself b***h"..I finally said.. then noticed all eyes were on me ..and they were are impressed..I looked back back at the girl and offered her hand to lift her up. She took it and stood up Ronald rushed to my direction and began picking up the books for the new girl
"Tonia I don't know where u got so much courage from......but I love it" Ronald gave a thumbs up and I smiled at her the finally stood yo
"Hi am Toniamen but can me Tonia"
"Thanks for helping me out ...am Becky"
"Am Ronald , Tonia's bestie" Ronald concluded I took the new gal to our table so we could talk Brad was already sitting there so we filled the remaining seat
"Hy Brad" Ronald said to get Brad's attention then looked forward and saw Becky and looked back at me
"This is Becky ..and Becky this is my cousin"
"Um nice to meet u Brad"
"Same here bek. Ronald can I talk to u for a sec"
"Yeah sure" they both left and it was only Becky and I on the table
"So... your new here??" I tried to make a conversation
"Yeah....I actually came in with my brother"
"But u look so famiToniar"

"Yeah kind of, so how long have u stayed here"
"I actually moving in today"
"That's odd"."I guess I've met my brother"
"Nope I haven't"
"Maybe later I'll take u to him ..I gotta go tanks for ur help..I ran away from the cafeteria to search for my brother and I saw him
