Chapter 9

The next day I wake up lying on Joeberts chest with his arm wrapped around my back. The first thing I think about is moving but he's so warm and cozy that I decide to just lye here. He's still asleep and he looks so cute and sweet when he's sleeping.

"Why are you staring at me nerd", I hear Joebert say as I felt his chest vibrate against my head.

"I wasn't staring at you, I took a glimpse at you". Joebert then opens his eyes and looks down at me. I feel so weired.

"So, did you want to know what happened last night", I ask Joebert, but I'm pretty sure he does want to know. 

"Yeah I do, but you don't have to tell me", he says back to me. I move from off of his chest and I sit up.

"So-". I begin to tell him but get interrupted with my bedroom door opening and my mother coming into the room to say something to me.

"Mhel, what is this, and Joebert why are you in my daughters bed", she asks shocked.

"Mom it's not what you think, I asked him to come over", I say to her getting out of the bed and walking towards her. I don't want her to try to get angry with Joebert.

"No, no, I came over here by myself", he syas to my mom as he gets out of my bed and walks up next to me. He doesn't look scared, he looks very confident. My mom sighs and looks at me and Joebert.

"It's ok", she finally says. I look at her weirdly, she's not mad.

My mom is shock. she looks at me, then she looks at Joebert.

"Oh. Well that's good", she says looking kind.

"Mhel, I'm taking you somewhere, it's a surprise so get ready". She then walks out of my bedroom door and closes it behind her. I wonder where she's taking me. I walk to my en-suite and turn on my shower I close the bathroom door and strip off my clothes and then get in the shower. And i finish my shower

"Mom, Joebert left his phone so I'm going to take over right quick", I tell my mom as I walk past her in the living room. 

"Ok, when you come back I'll be waiting for you so that we can go". I nod and a proceed to walk out of the front door. When I get to Joebert's door I knock on it. When it opens I see a little girl smiling up at me, she looks about the age of four.

"Well hi there", I say smiling at her as I kneel down to be the height she is. "What's your name", i say still smiling at her. 

"Marieca", she says shyly. She has the same green eyes as joebert and her hair is a light brown with darker streaks in it. 

"My name is Mhel, I was wondering if Joebert was here", I say to her still smiling. She smiles at me then she calls for Joebert, but she doesn't call him Joebert she calls him Bubba. I guess thats her nickname for him. When he walks out he stops and smirks at me. I get up and wait for him to come to the door.

"Sorry for stopping by, you left your phone at my house", I say to him. Marieca is smiling up at Joebert and her eyes are sparkling.

"Well thanks for bringing it", he says to me. He looks so cute.

"Hey honey, do you remember Dr. Earnings", my mom say smiling at me. I nod my head slowly with a slight smile on my face. 

"Wow Mhel everytime I see you it's like you get more beautiful", he says smiling at me. I just smile back.

"Thank you". I then walk into the kitchen to fix myself something to drink, but my phone starts vibrating and I see the caller ID says Claire. I quickly go up to my room and close the door then I answer the phone.

"Hey Mhel", I hear Claire say from the other end of the phone. Anger quickly rushes through my body as I hear her say my name as if she's the best friend ever. 

"Hey", i say dully. I hate her, I hate her so much.

"So, did you have fun at that party last night, did you find someone to lose your V-card to", She says to me. I know she's joking around but I'm not in the best mood to play around.

"Oh, no Claire, I'm not like you, I don't go around screwing everything that walks and talks", I say nicely to her even though I'm extra mad right now.

"W-What are you talking about Livvie".

"You know what I'm talking about. I saw you and April last night", I say angrily at her.

"You must've seen someone else", she says trying to save herself. Does she seriously think that lying to me is a good idea.

"I saw you!", I scream in the phone. "Don't lie to me Claire ok, because I saw you. You know how I felt about him, and you acted as if you hated his guts. Your a liar, a whore, and your a backstabber", I say still screaming.

"Oh, I'm the whore Mhel. Joseph's going around giving details on how you and his night went last night", she says sounding angry with me. 

"I didn't do anything with Joseph, he tried to do something with me but I pushed him away".

Claire laughs. "Whatever Mhel, I didn't believe him before but now I do, you slut", she says. When she says that it makes me burst out into tears.

"J-Just d-don't t-talk to m-me ag-gain". I'm sobbing so hard I can't even talk anymore. I then hand up the phone and throw it across the room. I can't believe Joseph is telling people that I hooked up with him. Now everyone at school is going to think I did something with him.

********

"Mhel, you've been up in your room all day. I'm about to leave and get some food so when I get back I want you down here and out of your room", I hear my mother yell from downstairs. I don't even listen to her, I just sit her on my bed thinking about everything, April not noticing me, Claire for backsyabbing me and Joseph for lying about me.

"Hey Mhel, why do you look so sad", he asks me as he sit next to me. He sits super close to me. "Your to sexy to be looking so sad"

"You know, I really like you Mhel, you seem like the kind who won't scream or who won't be afraid. The one who will just take it.

"Leave me alone",

"You don't talk to me that way", he says. He then lets go of me and gets up and walks out oof my bedroom. I let out a loud sigh. What is wrong with my life.

Me and Julius (Dr. Earning) is smiling..
