Moon Daughter's Second Chance

Ch. 2

" Brother I asked her to do my laundry but she refused and pushed me, look, she even bruised my wrist "

She said through her lying teeth without batting an eye like always, and like it always goes he's going to kick me and continue kicking me on the floor until I start panting heavily looking like I was almost giving out on life. I stood there quietly waiting for good two minutes but the kick never came in, he was staring intensively at me with a kind of look that made me felt goosebumps all over. It was really creepy and I didn't like being looked at by him that way.

" Just wash them before you leave "

He dragged Lydia out after he said that and I stood still dumbfounded not knowing what had just happened,

" Did he just walk out without laying a finger on me? "

I just couldn't believe my eyes, I couldn't bring myself to process whatever just happened but I was so thankful that I wouldn't have to go to school with pain early in the morning. I sighed and angrily picked up the laundry and walked out of my room. I spent half an hour washing her clothes by hand as they said it was a waste of money getting me a laundry machine so I had to do all laundry by hand. After I was done I hurriedly finished up with my morning chores and hurriedly took my bath, I quickly dressed and ran into the kitchen for my breakfast. My mood suddenly changed when I ran into the person I mostly likely wanted to avoid for the rest of my life. Maxwell was causally leaning against the wall while sipping coffee I think.

' What's he doing here? what happened to the dining hall? '

I thought to myself as I quickly searched for my breakfast, but I couldn't find any meaning they forgot to keep breakfast for me...again. I silently cursed underneath my breath and sighed, I suddenly bumped into a rock hard chest as I turned back to walk out. I yelped and raised up my head and I was met with Maxwell's face which was an inch away from mine, I could feel his hot breath on my face which reeked of coffee and I quickly took a step back in disgust.

" I'm sorry "

I silently said to him and I lowered my head in submission.

" It was my fault "

I raised my head up as I thought my ears were playing tricks on me, it wasn't exactly an apology but what he said sounded like an apology which was very strange coming from Maxwell. I stared quietly at him not wanting to make a sound which he might take offensive and hit me but the look Maxwell was giving me was conflicted and new, his gaze was changing between soft gaze and cold gaze, love and hatred and I didn't know what to make of it.

" Your 16th birthday is in two days time right? "

He suddenly broke the silence and asked, I felt my heart started to race and I felt nauseous and dizzy.

" Yes "

I quickly replied back

" You'll be attending the banquet right, I'll see you there and happy birthday in advance "

He slowly grabbed my hand as I stood there like a statue and he placed a few dollars in my hand before he let go and walked out, I stood there for five minutes still not being able to process what had happened. Everything felt unrealistic with his voice so soft and low as if he was being careful not to scare me, well I'd prefer him in his usual way of talking because I was pretty much scared..

" What am I to do with this money? And what does he mean by he'll see me at the banquet? "

I asked myself in confusion.Maxwell was yet to find his mate and he still considered to attend the banquet so I understood him going there but him saying he'd see me there was like he was expecting me to go. Well I for one definitely would be going since I wanted to quickly find my mate and have him take me away. I started to get excited just thinking about that. I looked at the dollars Maxwell placed into my hand and was thinking to leave it in the kitchen, but I shooed that thought away and stuffed it in my Jean pocket. He had given them to me without asking for anything in return, even tho I didn't know why I still needed cash and I wasn't even given breakfast I had to make use of the cash. I walked out of the kitchen and made my way to school.I walked into class and made my way to my desk. I stood silently as I stared at the condition my desk was in, I wasn't only abused at home but in school too since other packs joined the midnight pack in bulling me in school and those who didn't care about that just ignored my sufferings since they didn't want to be involved. I quietly pulled my chair out of the table and took my seat, the drawings on the table looked so horrible that I wanted to barf. I thought of getting rid of the drawings but the teacher walked into the class which made me take my seat and left the desk looking messy, he started his lesson and I focused but my haters wouldn't just let me be in peace. I felt a sting as someone threw a piece of folded paper at my head and it fell right beside me, I picked it from the ground and unfolded and saw it's contents

" Trash "

Was written on it and I turned my back to those sitting behind me as they all started to laugh, the teacher stopped writing and walked over to us in anger and they all stopped and pointed their fingers at me without him even asking.

" Pandia meet me for detention after class for disturbing my class "

I stared in disbelief at the teacher, he just believed them without even asking me and that wasn't even the first or second time. That happens always as I get punished for something I didn't do, I bit my lips shut and nodded without uttering a word. No one would ever believe whatever I say and I knew better not to beg or I'd just be making things worst for myself.
