the fourth chapter

Several days have passed and it seems that Lara has begun to get used to these faces and surrendered to the reality...

For her, this new family was a new kind of love.... It was a kind, peaceful family.

She got used to the look that the father looks at her from time to time, which at first seemed to show anger, sadness and denial to her, and which began to change a little bit to make sure that she is still sitting in this place .... as if he was saying in his secret my little girl this is your place Never leave him...

As for her uncle Raafat, who is only ten years older than her, he was a good person and was distinguished by his tenderness with everyone and he always asked her if she needed anything...

Although several days have passed, the older brother has not yet returned from his travels, and you have not seen his face yet, she is still wondering in herself what he looks like, and despite the curiosity that kills her, she did not try to ask...

Especially because she knows that the cunning Adham may try to ask her about her life and she is trying to evade this question as much as possible

She can...

As for the two young ones, they are nothing but idiots for her. They take most chances to tease and quarrel with her, but it seems that she will soon get used to what they are doing.

She used to meet with them at most of the main meals... and little by little they started chatting...

She felt the warmth of the family....Despite her feelings of loss to many who were part of her world....to sometimes leave her thoughts away to think and relive what happened to her, and tears freeze in her eyes in front of her new family..or she cries burning in her room alone...

The family gathered for dinner ... the father is in the middle of the table and looks at all his children and makes sure that she is seated every time..

The mother starts talking when she looks at Lara..

Mom: Jane, what do you think if we change your hair style, your hair looks a little messy...and let's also change its color. What do you think brown will look great on you?

Shady, one of the twins, interrupts her: Yes, brown spotted and starts laughing

To him, Shehab replied: No styluses ....

Lara looks at them to stop laughing, but they continue their conversation until they bother her..

Lara is talking to herself...should I bang their heads together seems like a great idea..

Adham interferes in the conversation, not the brown color will not suit her... Red is better to make her head burn... and smile at her cunningly..

And the family laughs together, although only one week has passed, but Lara's presence has become essential in the family...

***

A week later, Lara got ready to go to school... She got up in the morning and got dressed in displeasure. She sighs and tells herself that it's okay, it's okay.

It's okay Lara, it's the new life tax... It's okay to make your life better...

The family waited for her for breakfast... The worried looks from them were chasing her... She also noticed that they could not eat well...

From the time she woke up until she left the house, the mother did not stop expressing her concern and advised her to stay away from anything that might harm her and to be very careful and not hesitate to ask for help...

And before she goes out, she hugs her for a long time , so the father asks her to let her go...

To ask her to be careful, despite his words, but the concern was evident on his face.

I got in the car to find Adam sitting inside it ...

what are you doing here ? Lara asked, surprised.

Laird: School on my way to college.

I'm kidding, I know it's the other way.

Hey, I need the car, I'll take it after I drive you to school.

Uh, do you need the car or are you worried?

He laughs and is nervous, I'm worried why? Do you think you're too young to worry I bet you were ninety when you moved in...worry are you kidding me. He says it awkwardly

The ninety are joking with me. You say the ninety, I was thirty-three.... You're supposed to treat me with respect, because I'm older than you, you annoying one.

He looks at her cunningly, accompanied by a slight smile, if the thirty-three... here you are only seventeen... and I am older than you.. and certainly I was older than you in your world...

She felt angry to say: You were not.... Suddenly she comes to her senses when she realizes that she will give him more information about her life..This life that she should not give information about, but because of Adham, she begins to give him information such as her age..

Lara thinks that it is dangerous to talk to Adham so much that she does not make a mistake.

The car arrives at the school, when Adham notices Lara's sudden frown, but he does not want to disturb her any more, perhaps remembering her world was difficult for her...

Come on, come on, you're at school, or do you want to run from the start?

No, for sure, at least I'm going to stay away from your constant harassment of me...

Lara finished speaking with her brother to get out of the car and bid him farewell with a smile and wave to him.. The car drove off and Lara entered the school...

The school buildings were very large, characterized by sophistication, and their old style is distinguished by tradition, despite that, it has all kinds of entertainment from the dining room and the study rooms equipped at the highest level, and the school's playgrounds are of the highest quality...

Her dazzling appearance made Lara fascinated by her and her splendor did not turn to anyone, but she was walking towards the main building with a slight smile on her face as she contemplated the place holding the hand of her backpack while she was wearing it on her shoulder...

After a while, Lara begins to notice the students whispering around her to try to understand and realize what is going on around her... It seems that she forgot for a moment that she did not belong to this world...

Whispering voices began to rise near her, and words like...

Look at her, it's really Jane...

How much she looks like Jane....that's really scary...

It's scary...

Did you take her place, what a bitch...

The world is getting scary every day...I can't imagine being replaced...

Look at her, she looks exactly like a bully . Do you also look like her in character?

Bully,,,,!!!!!!! Lara speaks to herself

Lara listened to a lot of sayings in which it seems that they deliberately raised the volume of their whispers in them for her to hear....

Among these hadiths

Who is this, why is everyone looking at it?

Don't you know that she is similar to Jane, the girl who died in the fire...A rumor was spread after her death that she was bullying others as well as being fabricated. fire...

The arsonist did not save Sidra...

That's what it looked like... In fact, she almost killed her...

Is this why Sidra has not yet returned to school...

She is still shocked by what happened.

Lara listened to these words and was surprised to turn her eyes and noticed the looks of anger and hatred accompanied by looks of astonishment for being in front of them....

Lara said to herself, it doesn't look like life here is going to be easy....
