Melancholy

Chapter 11

"He gave me the proof, he said that's why they don't like me, cuz I'm not a part of a family" he suddenly bereaved while he headed down.

A tear came up running through Ivory's pale cheeks down to her chin and it drip through the table while looking at Atlas.

"We're not in the same situation but i think the same feeling" she said as she tapped his hands and bowed.

"What do you mean?" Atlas asked.

"Well actually, my mom died while giving birth to my beloved sister due to lost of blood and water. Now my dad married a new woman to take care of us but it came up very opposite from what he promised. The girl he married looked so eerie, she always yelling at us every morning till night. Her voice could be your alarm, before you even sleep at night her deafening voice will burst out to you. She's not even supporting us financially, she's house wife and doing nothing at home at all, she's not even cleaning the house or cooking food for us. Every morning our dad would wake up so early just to cook breakfast and what could we able to expect except her voice. Although we do it correctly she will accuse it wrong, my sister was suffering from her commands. I'm tired from her" she depict while her tears was running and so the place was covered in sad serenity while Quinn stood up to hug her tight.

"Nah, stop that drama. You know what you can live with me, I'll show you to my mom and say you're my friend and you need a shelter" Liam said.

Atlas reluctantly agreed cuz he know he would strain him. His good sobriety heart made the coldness fade like a fiery would not turn into coldness thus, the kindness and humanity was ranking first between his heart and mind although he almost did a crime to innocent girl from tragedy.

"Let's continue review, our exams are waiting" Quinn misleads

"And our eerie step mom perhaps, blazing" Ivory whispered hilariously.

They started to review their notes and study so hard, picking up books to borrow inside the library and try to find for some good results for their exam. The sun was sagging and the students around them were fading. Their note was about to finish and their brain was about to fullfil. After a while they realized they're now alone at the library and the staff suddenly draw near.

"Our school was about to close" said the staff, they apologized for taking so long after class and the moon starting to rise while the sun was going down. It is now the dawn of the day and the scrnery outside is waiting for them. The sobriety of the surrounding calms their down after a long hour of studying they now can gulp as a relief.

At the parking lot of the school they where happily going to ride.

"Do you know how to drive?" Liam asked Atlas.

"You're trusting me so much although you almost kill me just today" atlas replied.

"I'm sorry about that, I don't have to judge the book by it's cover"

"So as, you doesn't have to judge a person by what they did" Quin emerges

Liam tossed the key way going through Atlas's.

"Mom, I'm home" Liam bursted at thr front door as he lays his bag to the couch at his side.

"You came home too late" his mom said.

He explained why and say they reviewed their notes for their exam and so he introduced atlas at his mom.

"Mom, he's my friend Atlas, his parents evicted him cuz they said he was adopted, how rude" Liam said.

Atlas raised his hands to give a hand shake thtough his mom but his mom leaned over and hugged him tight.

"How poor little guy, how old are you son?" His mom asked.

"I'm nineteen" he replied.

"Call me mama Nickie, I would adopt you since now, you and Liam were roommates and you should always remember that this is your home"

His mom was too good to adopt a man like him looking like an addict. Gage provided that, he had appartment to stay but he know his supplies where now wrecked in there.

Tomorrow morning Quinn was becompelled to give some speech for school conference. She was about to say no but she needs to obey. She don't even have an idea what to say.

"The main topic of today's conference was revenge, all students from elementary til senior high was there. We're expecting good result Quinn" her teacher said.

She got nervous as she frow and feel reluctant. She was thinking about what will be her principle while walking down the stair and thinking about what is revenge. What will she say. All students are passing her while she ambles down the stair thinking too much. Meanwhile she remembered Atlas. One name who gave her confidence and content. She walked towards the school gym and trekked bound to the back of the stage.

"Who will going to speech today" Ivory heard her classmates whispered.

"They said she was first year highschool" one of her classmates replied.

"Rumors said she was the school genius and she was going to Quiz bee, I think she'll gonna win"

The curtain of the stage suddenly opened as Quinn stepped out and continued walking towards the the table at the center.

The crowd wgot silence as the mic echoed from the speaker.

The conference started with the beggining prayer from one of the school officer.

"What will this conference taught us?" Liam whispered through Ivory.

"It's kinda interesting, Quinn didn't practice eny last night"

"Nothing to worry about it, Quinn was genius, well by the way I think Atlas had a great evening last night, my mom welcomed him with warm hug and told him that she will adopt him" Liam said while the intro of the conference was playing.

"Wow that's cool" Ivory replied while Quinn started to speak.

"What is revenge?" Quinn started to look around through all the student
