The Boy With a Black Hoodie

Chapter 2

After that vampire hang up on me I
decided to watch a movie since I had nothing better to do. I have lived alone ever since I was twelve years old. My parents left me in Victoria Falls when I refused to go back with them to the United States.  My mother is a Plastic Surgeon and my dad is a Movie Director I only stayed in Falls because my mother is African or to put it simply Zimbabwean.

I was tired of changing schools and after a lot of persuasion my parents agreed to let me stay behind. Victoria Falls is a small resort town but It's actually beautiful. It's a tourist attraction thanks to its rich history and the Water Falls.

GreenWood High is a private school which is designed to cater to different types of students from all over the world. This is in  the sense that some tourists can stay for a year and they can just enroll their children at GreenWood and then take them out once they decide to leave. The town hosts visitors from all over the world and some movies are even shot at Victoria Falls.

My dad is from America but he never stays there either. He is always moving from one country to the other so even if I and  back to my home country I would have no stable home. The good thing about my family is well we are rich,I mean filthy rich. I live in a mansion in one of the low density surbubs in Victoria Falls,i have cars and I can go anywhere in the world whenever I feel like it. The downside about all this is i'm very lonely.

I only see my parents once a year if I'm lucky and they call me every two months to check if i need anything.Huh? as if. I wonder what would happen If they did their routine calls in two months only to hear that i died.Anyways that's my lovely family.Note the sarcasm.

I decide to freshen up first and after doing that I go to the movie room and select one of my favourite movies:The Greatest Showman. I love everything about the movie and I believe it has a great storyline. I might have dozed off because I wake up to a soft tap on the shoulder and I look up to see Ms. Carrie; my nannie. She has been working for us for as long as I can remember and she is like a mother to me. She is a lovely lady in her mid thirties but you can't even tell. She is so pretty.

"Wake up sleepyhead, I'ts time for dinner."

"Thanks Carrie, I'm  famished."

"You are welcome love,how was your day?"She asks.

"It was ok, I love school you know,"I lie but I'm sure she can see right through me because she grins and says;

"Are you sure about that dear?"

"Nope"

"Thought so."

I smile and follow her to the dining hall where I find a lovelymeal of roast chicken and mashed potatoes. Up until now I hadn't realised how hungry I was. Carrie serves me the food and leaves me alone to eat.Yep. I  eat alone and It's been like that ever since i was a kid. I'm used to it.

Some minutes later Carrie comes back into the dining hall. She hesitates and then sits down.Weird.

"Ummm....umm your parents just called me,"She says and then continues, "They are coming back but i don't know when.They just said I should tell you that."

Wooow just woow. I have just lost my appetite.

"Ok."That's all I say before heading straight to my room. My life family is a mess. Not only do I have a messed up familyy but I also have to teach a rude Vampire.

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

Today I decided to show up at GreenWood High an hour early. I can't afford anymore detentions and i'm very certain that if I mess up this time Scott will definately expel me.

"We need to talk," I look around and find Alan standing behind me. He is wearing his usual all black and a hoodie. What's up with him and hoodies?

"Hello to you too, Alan," I respond fake smiling.

"Cut the crap Kiara or whatever your name is; I just came to give you my timetable. I'm free today after school, meet me in the music room by half past three."

Whoa. I have seen all kinds of rude people but this guy deserves a Grammy. Am I his secretary? I feel like choking him but I control my anger. I need this vampire In order to graduate high school.

"Whatever you say boss," He doesn't respond instead he just leaves me standing alone in the hallway by my locker. I head straight to class. I have Geography the first two periods then Biology. This will go down in history, I mean I have never been early to school.Infact if I can remember well I  was banned from Geography for a week because of my late coming.

"Ahh! Miss Adams,to what do we owe the pleasure of having you in our class today?" That's Mr Kevin, the biology teacher. He is in his late  thirties but you can't tell since he looks like he is fifty. He prefers wearing half jersies all the time and khakhi slacks, and I can bet my BMW that he has never ever even thought of hitting the gym ever in his life.

"I have decided to turn a new leaf sir," I respond smiling.

"If you are planning something crazy i swear I'm going to get you expelled. I have had enough of you kid," The door opens and in walks the devil in form of Alan Walker.

I decide to read my notes and ignore Mr Kevin as he starts explaining the protocol to Alan. This is gonna be a long day. I manage to get through the entire day without being chased out. Yaaaay. At half past two I decide to go straight to the music room since all my lessons have ended for the day. I might as well go there and start on my homework. Alan comes in at exactly half past three.

"Did you study my timetable?"

Yes since I have nothing better to do with my time except study timetables for Vampires.

"Yes boss and I have decided that we will start with literature today," I respond making sure my voice is calm.

"Can you stop calling me boss? I have a name."

"Well you I have decided to call you that since you have been ordering me around ever since we met."

"Then drop it," It wasn't a request but an order so I decided to piss him off more.

"Yes boss. Is it ok if we begin now boss? I mean sir; I'm so sorry I mean Alan."I smirk when I see him clenching his fists.

"Ok what do you want me to do?"
Wow that was easy.

"Umm.. we have six books that we are supposed to study as Advanced level students; three are drama,two prose and one for poetry. So it would be cool if you start by reading Othello by William Shakespeare. We can take it from there."

"Do I  have to read it?can't i just watch a movie or something?" Calm down Kiara.You can do this.I kept repeating in my head.

"You can but a movie is not hundred percent accurate which is why you can't rely on it for your finals."

"Lets move on to something else then."

"Yes vamp...i mean Alan."I see him rolling his eyes but he doesn't say anything.

I decide to take him through the basics of circle geometry and i'm shocked to discover that he is actually a fast learner.After a while we decide to call it quits and arrange to meet at the music room again tommorrow.

"Give me your keys, I will drive you. It's  late now." Oh my god! Did I hear him correctly? It must have shown on my face because he qickly grabs the car keys from me and heads straight for the carpark.

Is he bipolar?
