Chapter eleven

Hailey's POV

When I went home my bffs were in my and my mom joined us.

"What were you thinking,Hailey"She shouted at me.

"And you girls pack your bags up and leave because the sleepover is over"

My bffs did as they were told and I bid them good bye.

My mom and I were alone.

"Hailey,I'm very disappointed in you.I never raised you to become bully"

What could I say.I was just silent.

"You didn't even bully anyone but a billionaires daughter"Her mother told me that she began schooling at Green lake high a couple of days ago"What if she ended your education at Green lake high"

She placed her palms on her forehead and closed her eyes.

"I'm going to cancel your party"

"No mom please I beg you don't cancel the party.Please"

I knelt down infront of her.

"Please.Please" I begged some more. She told me to stand up.

"I'll postpone your party to next week but I'll seize your phone, your laptop and disconnect your wifi"

"But mom-"

She waved her index finger at my face.I took my laptop from my study table and gave it to her with my phone.

"I've spoiled you too much.It's time to learn your lesson"I'll let the maids bring your breakfast and dinner to your room nowadays until I decide to change the arrangement.And no shopping for you on Saturdays,Sundays and when yor friends come to visit you I won't let them"

She left my room and locked the door. I threw my self on my bed,head first on my pillow.I cried a lot until I felt my pillow was wet

It all happened because of one girl.Ida.I even hated her more now.

The door opened and my dad walked in.

"Hailey" His voice had an angry tone and he pulled me from the bed.

"I have heard  what happened at your school today with the girl you bullied.What were you thinking!Do you know who her father is?I'm really disappointed in you"

He slapped me.I put my hand on that same spot.Tears welled up in my eyes but I refused to let them fall.

My dads blue eyes were now darker from anger.He stormed out of my room.

Xoey's POV

I caught up with Ida before she entered her mother's car.

"I'm really sorry for what happened to you today "

"It's ok.I'm fine"

"I tried to warn you but you didn't listen"

" I know but I had to shut Hailey up"

"Thank you for defending us"

"No prob"

Her mother rolled her glass down and lookde at me.

"Mom this is Xoey Cassman"

She waved at me.

"Xoey this is my mom;Mrs June Hall "

"Nice to meet you Xoey"She said."I belive your mother is Sharon Cassman"

"Yes ma'am" She responded"She's told me all about you"

"We were college mates"

"Yes ma'am She told me all of that"

Students were coming out and some were staring at us.

"Are you goung home.I can drop you there"

"Ok ma'am thank you"

Ida hit her head on the car door when she was trying to open it.

"Do you need help?"

"Yes.I cant see without my glasses"I opened the door for her and she climbed in before I followed.

I had never sat in a private car and I was frozen to the bone when Mrs.June turned on the air conditioner.I walk to school everyday.

"So where do you live,Xoey"

"I live two miles away from the school"

"Ok"

She drove the car smoothly.

"You should not allow people to treat like the way Hailey did"I'm proud of you Ida,for defending you and Xoey"

I nodded."I'll stop by the burger shop to buy you girls something to eat"

"What would you like Xoey?"Ida's mom asked me.

"I'll like a cheese burger and some coke"

"What about you Ida?"

"I'll like some potato chips and strawberry milkshake"

"I'll take one banana smoothie,one coke with a cheese burger and a sachet if potato chips with strawberry milkshake" She spoke in the microphone outside the shop.A few minutes later,our order was brought out and Mrs.June paid.

"Take your food girls"

She pulled her hand over her seat.I took the paper bag from her and Ida took her food and I also took mine.

"Thank you Mrs.June"I handed the paper bag back to her.

"That's where I live"Her car pulled infront of our lawn.

I waved Mrs.June and Ida and got out of her car.I felt warm outside.

"Hey sis you're back from school"Dianna was sitting in the sofa and she was eating peanut butter whiles her eyes were fixed on the television.

"We'd you get that?"

"Someone gave it to me"

"Who?"

She didn't answer.

"Who?" I asked again but she didn't take her eyes off the TV.

I snatched the remote fron the sofa and pressed the power button.

"Hey what was that for"

"For ignoring me and not answering my question"

"Wait.Did you ask me a question?" She pointed her index finger at me.

"I guess you'll miss this episode Gravity Falls after all"

"Ok what was the question"

"Where did you get the peanut butter?"I sat beside her."Mom didn't buy peanut butter yesterday.Did she?"

"No she didn't"

She lowered her eyes and looked at the peanut butter.She took out the spoon and pierced it into the thick mixture in the transparent jar.

"I got it from...I got it from Dylan"

"Dylan?Who's Dylan?"

"This super cute guy in our glass.He gave me this peanut butter"

"Why?"

"I don't know"

"You shouldn't have taken it"

"I know but I didn't want to refuse.He's my crush"

She didn't look at my face.

"You have a crush?!"

"Yeah..."

"OMG Little Dianna is in love with Dylan" I made kissing faces at her.

"Stop it,I'm blushing"She hit my lap and smiled at me.

"You know what,I think you should follow what your heart desires and belive and always be you.Don't try to change yourself because other people want you to" I was serious now.

"Wow sis"She began to clap.

"I'll give you the best motivational speech of the year award"

"I love you sis"

"I love you too"We both hugged.

"I'll go to our room.I have homework to do"I stood up from the sofa.

"Bye sis"She waved me and turned on the TV.

I didn't bother to ask her were mum was because I knew she was at work.

Ida's POV

"I'll get you new glasses tomorrow.

I'll  will book an appointment with our optician now and I'll pick you up from school tomorrow so we can go for it"My mother opened her purse and took out her phone while she controlled the wheel with one hand.She gave me her phone.

"Search for Doctor Gabriel's number"

I opened her contacts and and scrolled through.

Doctor Gabriel.Doctor Gabriel

"Found it mom"

"Ok now call him and put it on speaker"

I pressed the green phone sign and put the call on speaker.We both listened to beeping sound until the call was picked.

My mother took the phone from me and placed it on the seat next to hers.

"Hello Dr. Gabriel June Hall speaking"

"Mrs.June Hall what may I do for you?"

"I'll come by your office tommorrow with my daughter to get new glasses"

"Ok, noted ma'am"

When we got home we were greeted unpleasantly by Grace's death.

Her still lifeless body laid on her bed as her face was white.She was covered with a blanket but only her face remained uncovered.

I stood beside her bed and touched her hand.My eyes were filled with tears.I once this touched hand when I

was little but now it was lifeless.

"When did she die"my mother asked a maid who was crying .I knew she was sad.

I could tell by the way she asked the question.

"At four o'clock madam"Her voice was shivering.

"Call the mortuary services and let them know that we have a dead body here"

She nodded and left.I laid my head on her chest and my tears kept on falling.

You wouldn't see my mom or dad cry but instead they'd curve their mouth down to show that they were sad.

My mom patted my back.Why did Grace die?She played a major role in my growing up.She taught me how to cook and make a snowman.

She was mostly with me all the time when my parents were away that I considered her as my mom.

But of course,she couldn't be my biological mom because there was someone who has my blood so I considered her as my second mom.

"Ida let's go"

My mother pulled me from her.I hugged her tightly.

"Let's go from here,the mortuary services will be here to pick up her body"

My mother opened the door for me to go.

I took one look at her before I left,my mother followed next.

"Ida I'll go to the study,I need to call our investigator to do some investigation on Grace"

"Ok my mom I'll be in my room"

My eyes were red from crying and my face had turned red and pale.I got a warm shower since food was still in my hair and dressed up.

I didn't go down for lunch and when my food was brought to me I refused to eat. Today was a a very bad day for me.Starting from what happened at school to Grace's death.
