Chapter 2

Mia walks up to me

'aha, what did that hottie talk to you about?'

This busy body. When will she learn to stop poking her nose into other peoples business.

'he said not to tell' and I walk off, although she chases after me still talking.

I wave Mia goodbye, and head home

After taking a shower, I seat on my bed and pick up my phone, to text Mia goodnight

'gn ma'am'

'uh, not yet. Still have to brief me on you and James'

'yeah no! Bye' and I put off my phone.

I lay down on bed about to sleep when mom walks in 'sweetie, aren't you going to eat dinner?'

I can't believe I forgot to even get dinner. I must have gotten too excited or something

'no mom, I'm fine, I'll just eat next time'

The next I know, I'm asleep already

*****************************************

What's this noise?

My stomach is growling

Why the hell did i not get dinner

Everyone is asleep already. It's 2am so dad's probably sleeping too, maybe on the couch AGAIN! this his new attitude of sleeping late at night has started to piss me. Dad hates to use his study and would rather sit in the living room with his laptop, and inconvenience me. He's slept off several times in the middle of it. I remember once, when I came downstairs to get a glass of water and found him on the couch, it was a thug of war to get him to wake up.

Without thinking twice, I go downstairs. I caught mom once trying to hide Keondra's snack pack in the laundry. She'd promised herself she'd hide them elsewhere but my mom has the memory of a..., so I bet she didn't.

I go into the laundry room, and switch on the lights, and like they are calling me, I find Keondra's snack under a pile of clothes. I take a packet of chips, oat cake and a carton of apple juice.

Eventually, I decide against it because if mom or anyone caught me stealing, I'll go without sugar for a week. That'd be terrible bruh.

'I'll be good' I go upstairs and use the cell in the hall way to order a pizza

Ahh, the Donnies, always available 24hours a day.

I use my mom's credit card to pay for the pizza. Very fortunately for me, my mom isn't someone to keep her stuff well. You could find her card even in the kitchen man

Yeah, that's right, I guessed her pin right

Like, use anything except my sisters birthday bruh, anyone could have guessed that

Sitting on my bed, I'm pretty stuffed right now

Hard to believe I just finished 3packs of cheese pizza.

Don't judge me, it cost a fortune, couldn't afford to waste it.

.... Ah yeah! I'm 15 btw. Mom and dad that my sweet sixteen birthday is gonna be perfect, just the way I want it. I just hope they are telling the truth this time.

About 5years ago, during my 10th year birthday, dad had been at work, while mom went grocery shopping with Keondra and a few friends, and called my aunt over to stay with me, and organise the kids. After the party without my parents were over and all my friends were gone, I had gotten so angry and ran over to granny's house, just a few meters away.

Nana was kinda pissed with my parents, so she let me stay with her for some time, before dad showed up the next week with packets of chocolates and gifts for me.

It's been a long day, so I'll just get some sleep...
