THE LAST SCHOOL YEAR

CHAPTER 2: NEW SCHOOL...NEW CHAINS

AUTHOR POV; )

Ethan's hair was dark brownish , soft and a little bit curly, it made him really cute........, he's tall figure standing in front of the mirror was amazing, he was light in complexion and everything about him just seemed close to perfect.......

( Ethan POV)

I was done with my hair and I'd also puts an outfit for the day I put on my footwear different from the one I wear to sleep. It was made by a famous designer black shining with a good pearl on it, it was flashy do and the whole scene gave the impression that I was heading out.

I stood in the front of the door about to pull the handle as my memory flashed back to yesterday's incident.

" who saved me?

" who brought me home?

" how did i get to bed?

this words kept ringing in my mind I picked my phone to check the boys group and guess what?

Mateo: guy u were really drunk last night

Luca: all thanks to us though

Ethan: heyy thanks , was my dad aware?

Mateo: only your maid knows

Ethan: thanks men, let's meet up then

I shrugged my phone into my pocket with a great sign of relief and as for my nanny she wasn't a sharp mouth so I will school with it then I opened the door and disappeared.

" and where are you heading to? , I had the voice from behind as I was about stepping out.

"and where were you last night? , the voice brand in my eardrums as I was stuck not knowing what to say.

that voice look familiar it was my dad though and I knew so I just stood in shock.

I then turn to face him who was hanging on the staircase with a cup of coffee.

"Dad I didn't know you were around? , I spoke worries cuz I knew I was long gone.

" and that doesn't answer any of my questions does it? , he spoke and i was just so confused, he was speaking so calm and the worse punishment my dad could give was to ground me and i feared that a lot.

"where the hell were you last night? , he asked again and at this point I knew he got me already, so I had to speak up.

" dad it was just an harmless Hangout",i tried to cover up.

" harmless?", he asked and i nodded, " and yet you got drunk?" , he asked and at this point, i knew he had caught me already, but Mateo said he wasn't aware or was he? or did my maid tell him? No she wouldn't dare, i had to spill because lying to my dad will only make things worse.

" dad it was a mistake, i didn't plan to get drunk" , i tried to plead but the look on his face was devilish duh...

" well , he said while sipping his coffee, I'm sorry to say but you're grounded" , he said and it was like a slap on face , i knew it, that was his usual way.

" dad please don't, I can't be grounded, do whatever u want to do to me but not this" , i pleaded with him.

" son we need to talk", he announced as he took few steps to the ground floor and headed to the couch.

" have a sit", he said and i was still surprised, like wasn't this getting weird, i thought.

I then sat on the couch opposite him and i waited for his conversation.

" Ethan, you're extremely poor in your academics and yet you still go out to drink and do stupid shits? ", he asked furiously.

" dad can we not talk about that right now" , i spoke as calm as possible.

" you are a failure, coward and a disgrace just like your mom was " , he spoke and that got me really mad.

" don't you dare speak ill about mom", i threatened and my dad laughed.

" i do not care about that, the least I want is shame in this family and i won't allow that so u'll quit playing BASKETBALL" , he announced.

My eyes widened when I heard that and i was in deep shock.

" never!, dad you can't tell me what to do, i will never quit", i said really furious.

Basketball was like my life, it was the only thing that kept me happy, ever since mom left, balling was the only thing that kept me calm and away from my worries,my skills were lit, amazing and wonderful and guess who i got that from...MY DAD..he was a good baller and had taught me how to play.

Back then, mom, dad and I would never miss an NBA game for any other thing , sometimes we would play together at home but somehow he gave up everything for reasons best known to him, he changed totally and it was during that time ,my parents had issues and i swore that i was never gonna be like him.

" this is your last year and you don't care about passing your final exams?", his voice brought me back to reality.

" I'll give you two options, three months to get good grades or you quit basketball, it's your choice to make son ", he announced as i just stared in awe. Academics was something i was perfect in growing up but all that changed when mom left.

My dad stood up without saying a word as he climbed the stairs up to his room leaving me confused.

I couldn't go out anymore and i headed back to my room still wondering how he found out.

I got to my room and threw my self on the bed staring at the ceiling , it was like a dream, i picked up my phone to chat the guys.

MATEO: guy where the hell are you

Luca: maybe he's stuck in traffic

Ethan: my dad found out

Both: f....k! how?

Ethan: now he wants me to study or i quit basketball

Luca: damn this is serious

Mateo: so what's your say?

Ethan: don't know , can't leave balling for any thing.

I turned off my phone as i laid, i had to try studying at least to keep my peace.

I always wondered how mom was doing. Was she happy in her New home?

Did she really loved me?

Or was she even alive?

These thoughts kept running in my mind, and i knew that one day soon, i was gonna find her.

Well talking about summer it was awful, boring and devastating, soon i called the maid .

" you were aware of yesterday's incident?", i asked and she nodded.

" so how did my dad figure out?", i asked again.

" that i don't know, your dad was asleep when your friends brought you home" , she explained and i sighed.

" are you lying to me? ", i asked strictly.

" nope I'm not, you know i wouldn't dare expose you", she said and I asked her to leave and she did, i struggled hard with the pillow furiously and hoped my dad wasn't up to anything......OMG .....how come I didn't notice, the footage, he must have gone through the cameras, what else does he want from me , my breath?

( CHERRY'S POV;)

I laid on the bed scrolling through my phone, still couldn't believe the fact that i wasn't returning to Spain.

I had picked up my note pad to create a new schedule, and i was done, i stared at the uniform countless times and if i knew all this would happen then i would have remained in Spain.

Just then my door opened and Richard rushed in to my shock , i was fully dressed though.

" you should have knocked", i corrected him.

" ohh my bad sis", he apologized as he sat on my bed which i didn't quite like that.

" so how's life in Spain", he asked cheerfully.

don't u dare ask me that......., i thought in my mind but he was cool and nice , so it wouldn't be that bad to be friends with him.

" Spain is beautiful", i said sipping the juice in front of me " and everything there is just good, the schools , houses, and do you know i speak Spanish too? , i asked

" wow , I'll love to learn, so any friends? ", he asked.

dummy I've been there for years , i thought to say but changed my mind.

" yeah a lot of friends, I've been there for years any its so hard to believe i ain't returning ", i said

" I'm so sorry my sister caused this ", he apologized.

It's fine, you don't have to , its all good.. so why do take drugs? , don't you think you're still too young for that?", i asked and surprisingly he smiled.

" drug is life sis, i enjoy it and I'm so mad dad us tryna stop me", he said and i just sighed, he was crazy really.

we chatted for long and soon a car horn was heard .

" mom is back ,i need to leave", he said and rushed out.

how did he even know???

I still couldn't find my self liking the new family including my dad.

i was just gonna play along.

*******

I ran out of a room sobbing really hard as my nanny ran after me.

" cherry I'm sorry, i didn't mean for this to happen", she pleaded with me.

" I hate you so much, you lied to me all this while?, how could you ", i said crying really hard and soon i ran into the road as a vehicle almost hit me, i screamed really loud as i opened my eyes to reality, it was all a NIGHTMARE .

Not again!!!!!, i grumbled in fear as I turned on the lamp, it was midnight and i was really scared, why would i fight with nanny Mira, i thought as i quickly got down from the bed and headed to the kitchen to go grab a cup of water as i overheard the couple as they quarrelled.

" you are a mistake daisy" , my dad said to her.

" how dare you! , after everything we've been through together?", she replied him.

" you are just a cheap w***e! ", my dad leaked and i was shocked.

" ohh wow!, look at the innocent one", she said any I heard a slap, who received that? , i thought as i pulled the door open and their eyes were fixed on me , my dad holding his red, pitiful cheek, she slapped my dad, the audacity, served him right though.

" please do not tell your siblings", my dad said and i just slammed the door and headed to the kitchen, it was none of my business anyways, but why? , i still had to know though, i grabbed the water any headed back to bed , but could sleep , so , just downloaded my favorite series and watched.
