Chapter 13

*knock knock*

I groaned in annoyance as I sat up in bed to check the time on my wall clock

7:10 am

Who the hell is disturbing me?

I'm not going to school today so what's the need of waking up early?

"Who is it?" I asked

"Its Maria ma'am"

"What do you want?"

"Your dad wants you to join them for breakfast now ma'am"

Oh for the love of God. Why Steve?

"Tell him I'll be down in a minute"

"Okay ma'am"

The sounds of her retreating footsteps could be heard.

I went to the bathroom to wash my mouth with mouthwash since I was too lazy to brush my teeth or floss, put on a pair of Gucci flip flops then headed downstairs.

Breakfast went terribly wrong that morning

My mom didn't answer me when I greeted her but Gerald and Steve did.

Was I really a disappointment to her?

Here we are having breakfast as a family, although it didn't feel that way

It felt like we were too separate to be a family

Why?

Well, Gerald is eating or rather picking at his greens. He looks lost.

Steve is going over his daily activities in his pocket handbook.

My mom is smoking cannabis while reading her favourite fashion magazine.

Steve looked very uncomfortable with the fact that she was smoking

"Honey, can you please drop the cigarette" Steve pleaded "it's not right especially in front of the kids"

"I'm an adult Steve. I think I can decide what's right" my mom retorted "besides, I know what's good for Bella and Gerald. They're mine, remember?"

I gasped

How could she say such a thing?

Why is she reminding him that he isn't our father?

Steve was a way better father than mine was and a much better parent than she was

"Wow" Steve mumbled "just great"

He stood up angrily and left the dining area.

"Dramatic ass" my mom said

Gerald cleared his throat

"I think its time for me to get going" Gerald announced "Bye mom. Bye sis"

He grabbed his backpack from the floor then stood up

"Have a nice day in school love" my mom called after him

Now it was just my mom and I. Boy is this awkward.

I don't think I can stay near this woman or even breathe the same air she did, not after what she said to a man who basically took care of her children when she had nothing... When we had nothing

"I'm going upstairs" I muttered before getting up

I went to my room and sent Drew a text as soon as I sat on my bed

Me: Hey you

Drew: Hey, what's up?

Me: Bored as hell in this house 😴

Drew: fear not princess for I have a plan

Me: lol, really?

Drew: yes

Me: I'm listening

Drew: meet me at Smith's

Smith's is a huge supermarket not too far away from my house

Me: sure

*

I drove myself to Smith's because I knew Drew and I would probably be doing some stupid shit which Pablo wouldn't approve of.

I convinced him to let me drive and he agreed.

I got down from my car and started scanning the area for Drew.

"Hey" he said walking up to me

He looked cute in black hoodie and black sweatpants. I smiled at the sight of him

"Hey stranger"

"I have a list"

He brought out a paper from his pocket and unfolded it

I chuckled when I read the title

In bold capital letters he wrote; THE REBELLIOUS ADVENTURES OF BEAUTY AND THE BEAST (also known as Bella and Drew)

This boy will literally be the death of me

"You're killing me son" I told him

On the list were fun things for us to do throughout the day

"You ready for this?" Drew questioned

I smirked

"Totally"

Adventure 1

We entered Smith's. The goal was to get kicked out of the store

"What bad thing can we do?" I asked Drew

Drew tapped his chin in thought . He snapped his fingers in excitement

He whispered what we should do in my ear. I giggled

I could already picture ourselves in so much trouble but I loved it

"Come on then" he urged me

I took a big trolley and Drew hopped inside

I pushed him round the whole super mart while yodelling at the top of my lungs.

Drew knocked down various things as I pushed him

"Yodeli - Yodeli -Yodeli - Ye - he - hoo!"

In no time, security men were after us

"Run!" I screamed

Drew jumped down from the trolley. We ran out of the store as fast as we could till, we got into my car and I drove off.

"That was awesome!" I exclaimed

"There's more where that came from love"

Call me that again

"Where to next?"

He checked his list and answered "movies"

Adventure 2

We went to a movie theater and decided to see a tragedy film. It would be great for what we were planning.

A few minutes into the movie, Drew and I threw popcorn at people from where we were seated at the top.

It was so dark, nobody could see us. I laughed so hard at the confused expressions of people

During a sad scene, Drew waited for a silent time to play porn

The sound was so loud that everyone could hear

We had to cover our mouths from laughing so hard

People kept on looking back to find out who was having sex.

Little did they know...

Adventure 3

Drew and I went to the streets to stage a fight just for the fun of it to see people's reaction

"You whore!" Drew shouted

"What did you expect? Your dick is too small!"

"You didn't have to fuck my best friend. I curse the day I married you"

A woman covered the ears of her little daughter who was listening

"I curse the day we had sex and I faked that I liked it!"

"Why did you stay then?"

"Your money of course!"

"Fuck out of my life"

"Gladly"

"Prostitute"

"One-minute man"

People walking gasped when I said that

"What?" I shouted at them "its true!"

*

"Oh my Lord. I am so exhausted" I said laughing

Drew and I were sitting on a roadside bench

It was already 6pm

"That was fun" he said

"Mad fun. I've never felt so free in my entire life"

"I'm honoured to be the person who can make you feel these things"

He actually is the first person that I've done stuff like this with

We looked at each other and smiled

"Thanks a lot Drew"

"You're welcome Bella"

4 days down... 56 days to go
