Family ties

           ~Caroline~

"Caroline!!".

I rolled my eyes knowingly at the familiar voice and spun around swiftly.

"Yeah?".

"If you can't do the favors of honoring your parents with greetings you could at least have breakfast with us". Mr White glanced at me from his newspaper though grey reading glasses as his wife served his tea.

She was dressed in a white fitted pant suit and didn't pay me any attention to me, not even sparing me the slightly glance like always, like I need her to notice me anyway. Step mom my foot.

Even since she moved in to live with us she didn't even try to win me over, she acted like I wasn't in existence and not her husband's child.

"Thank you Evie!". My dad said to her with a smile before turning to look at me.

"My mom is dead and so I have no parents". I said confidently and turned my back to them saucily.

"I am your father and If you don't start acting it I will throw you out of this house". He threatened shuddering and squeezing the newspaper he had been reading.

"Your house?, This house?. The last time I checked this house was willed to me. And if you and your wife keep passing your boundaries I won't hesitate to throw you out with that whore". I fired back and stormed out running.

Having to see your father and his supposed new wife everyday is a nerve breaker. My mom died two year ago and that bitch moved in just two weeks later, my dad whom I call Mr White because he is no longer my father had been cheating on my mom anyways.

About my mom, I don't really get sad about her death, not that I recall it most of the time. Yes I broke down and cried and wailed when she passed away but we never had a close relationship when she was still on earth anyway. She travelled way too much and I barely see her for months.

I guess I didn't really matter to her anyway for her to spend with.

But not to worry I'm in safe hands, I'm a little millionaire naw, guess my mom's hard work payed off, my mom willed all her properties to me including the house we live in, didn't even know it belonged to her.

As I strolled towards school all I really want right now is a comforting hug from my boyfriend, I'm skipping breakfast and going early to school just for that.

School was actually close to my home and I walked there, always. My black school skirt nearly ironed with no wrinkles brushed against my knee as I walked.

I'm not exactly in love with my uniform. It's a blue skirt and a brown top, for girls. Trousers for boys. 

Dare, my little drummer cutie has been my boyfriend for four months and still counting. I really really really love him and he's the only good thing in my life aside from my friends and money and music and food and novels.....ok maybe there are a lot good things after all.

I usually stopped on my way to get my best friend, Ayomide Marshall but today I'll pass, told her already I was going way early than usual.

Olamide Walter completed my trio, she was the classiest one on the group, she's obsessed with Nickelodeon like heck, a light brown skinned Yoruba girl with a slender build aspiring to be a model, While Ayomide is sort of the short one in the group also the light skinned one. She had a full curly brown hair I love to play with.

I, myself, am a brown beauty queen. I don't need to told, I'm a gorgeous damsel. Starting from my full long thick black natural hair, my brown chestnut eyes and cute perky nose with nice slightly pink lips. Don't fall in love, I'm taken.

I have a dark brown glamour skin that I'm f proud of, spotless and always glowing.

I got to school and headed to the unoccupied class Dare asked me to meet him in. I wonder what surprise he had that he made we miss sleeping and waking up early for.

"Oluwadamilare?!". I sang out before entering the class to let him know I'm here.

I glanced into the class and there I saw it. The knife that cut deep into my heart. His ex girlfriend!!? He was holding her so tightly Right there in front of me. Is that what he asked me to come so early to witness?.

Piper's hand were wrapped firmly around his neck and they seemed to be kissing or maybe doing more.

Piper, the girl he had dated during our juniors years and he swore to me they weren't seeing each other anymore was right there pressed tightly against me.

I just turned around and walked away.

                   ~Dare~

"Caroline it's not what it looks like!".

"You're buried deep into your ex girlfriend in a classroom so tell me what its supposed to be". She screamed.

Okay she's right. Awkward.

Damn the tears. She's crying already. Dare what have you done?.

"He said you don't satisfy him and thats why he called me to help him out since you're useless". Piper muttered passing slowly beside us.

Caroline turned to walk away.

"No wait. Caroline hold on. I'm so sorry". I called after her..

"Wait Caroline I'm so so sorry, I didn't want it to happen".

"You didn't but yet it happened". She said between tears.

I hugged her forcefully and tried to calm her down.

"Let go of me!". She bite into my chest and slapped me. "We are over".

"No way Caroline. You are mine. Look I'm sorry you caught me with Piper but our relationship won't end because of that. This is the first and last time I promise". 

She wiped her tears and tried to walk away but I pulled her back "We are still a couple and you won't leave when I'm talking to you". I said getting angry.

"Get you filthy hands off me you pervert". She shouted.

"You can shout it out now but listen...".

"Don't touch me Dare!".

She ran away crying.
