Mated to my Stepbrother

9. Wtf

BEEP BEEP BEEP

My alarm clock sounds on my phone and I tap repeatedly at the snooze button. Ugh, can't I get a break? I'm so tired and the hotel room is so cold, I just want to stay in bed.

Throwing the covers back over myself, my ice cold feet curl in towards my body. I snuggle into fetal position.

I hardly had any sleep last night, probably at most an hour and a half. Sleeping at places other then my own aren't my forte. It's never comfortable, at all. Even at relatives' where I frequently visit I can't sleep, my ass just lays there staring at the ceiling all night. Then when the morning comes my eyes can barely stay open. The trip sucks because I'm too drowsy to do anything!

But even though it's a curse I believe it's also a blessing in disguise. Later on the ride home, even though she's reluctant, Skylar usually lends me her shoulder to sleep on. Still, it isn't nearly enough for me to be comfortable so I  purposely lean on half of her body with my head digging into the crook of her neck. Even though she gets mad and scolds me for a short while, she still enables me to peacefully sleep that way. It's cute cause she still worries.

RING RING-

The school bells signal that beginning classes are over as I pack up my books into my bag . That peaceful recollection earlier had no effect on my mood now because first period was shit. I forgot that we were having a test in Calculus and managed to also forget to bring a calculator. There was no spare for me to use and sharing wasn't an option so just blindly guessed most of the answers.

I guess it's about that time where my grades decide to drop again.

I'm beat after that class and it doesn't help that once i get out there's this girl that won't stop pestering me about going out to eat with her.

"Jackyyy come on let's goo." She tugs on my hand pulling me to a direction in which I remain completely still.

"Jacky"?? Who is that? Nobody calls me that, and they shouldn't try to...ever.

"A new restaurant just opened up, I want to go together!" She whined, clinging onto my arm.

I try to push her hand off because her touch makes me feel kinda gross. She doesn't budge. My friend Damian lucky saw us as he was passing and steps in attempting to separate her.

"Woah girl chilll." He held out the "L"  as he eventually made her back away by blocking her off with his arm. "We don't even know who you are."

Her face showed that the comment offended her.  "Uh, Sarah?" She spoke as if it were so obvious that we were suppose to know.

Some of her friends saw her and somehow all gather around her in a semi circle. They didn't do anything but it felt like we were being ganged up on.

"Oh I heard of you. You're new to the school right?" Damian asked her politely, but she completely ignored him and steps forward getting a little too close to me. Before I was able to process, my body reacted surprisingly quick and without realizing I jerk my head back.

Looking even more offended by my action, the girl steps even closer to me. Her big eyes with dead set gazes was so creepily fixated on me, as well as her friends, that I felt like the fish in Finding Nemo when that girl stuck her finger on the fish tank and was tapping on it.

Is it too late to run and escape?

My pocket started vibrating. So I reach in my jeans and pull out my phone which was ringing. My savior!!!

"Sorry, I gotta take this call." I wave my phone screen in her face , showing her that I'm not lying.

I thought the call would give me a pass to get away from them, but it actually also meant I had to deal with trouble from someone else.
