The Life Changing Vacation

~Chapter 158~

Kristina's POV
It has been a week since Alex and Joanna murdered my parents, and I'm still heartbroken. But I guess it's fine since I spend over a year without them, thinking they were dead. I was just so happy they were still alive and then I lost them again. I kind of forgave Alex and Joanna the first time, so I guess it wouldn't be a problem to forgive them now either, but it could be very hard. A day I woke up, Joanna told me that she had been talking to the principal on a school in New York. Dory got happy because she was so bored lately, and needed to go out. I on the other hand, was nervous. Very nervous. Of course Dory was a little nervous too, who wouldn't? But I really didn't want to go to school physically. I begged Joanna to let me do online school.

"Kristina, do not argue, you're going!", she said determined.

"You forget, I just lost my parents.. and not just any death. Technically, you shot them right in front of my eyes", I explained.

"Don't be dramatic! Listen, I understand you're upset, but remember you lived for over a year thinking they were dead, you survived that", she said.

"Well, that was different", I said.

"No, it was not different! You freaked out so bad", Joanna explained.

"It was very different", Dory said.

"Thank you!", I said.

Alex rolled his eyes.

"I don't have time for this", he sighed and walked away.

"You're going to school in two days, period", Joanna told us and went to the kitchen to make dinner.

Two days later, Joanna woke me up around 6:00 am.

"Wake up, school today", she told me.

"Just five more minutes", I said.

"Fine, but don't fall asleep again, you're gonna be late", she said.

When I came downstairs, Dory wasn't there.

"Where's Dory?", I asked.

"She's sick, unfortunately", she answered.

"Sick? Today?", I asked.

"Yes, today", she said.

"Please let me go to school when she's getting better, I don't to go alone", I explained.

"I'm sure you will be fine. Remember, try getting a few friends.. you'll need it now that you're in a bad time", she told me.

Joanna drove me to school. I felt my anxiety was coming back.

"Joanna, I don't feel very well", I said when I was gonna go out of the car when we arrived at school.

"It's fine, you're just nervous. Just brea-", she started.

As she was talking, I threw up right outside of the car.

"Great", she said.

"Shit", I whispered.

I looked at the time.

"No! I'm late", I slammed the door and ran into the school.

Joanna's POV
Around 11:00, I went upstairs to see how Dory was doing.

"How are you doing, sweetie?", I asked.

"Not very good", she explained.

I checked her temperature, and it was on 102.3 F.

"Looks like you have a fever. How is your throat? And your head?", I asked.

"My throat is a little sore, not so much though. My head on the other hand hurts very much", she told me.

"You want a cup of tea?", I asked her.

"That would have been great, thank you", she said.

I went downstairs, and I sandwich and a cup of tea for her. Around 3:00 pm, I went to pick up Kristina at school.

"How was your day?", I asked.

"Much better than I expected, I am so happy! I met this boy, Anthony Jones, he was very kind and helped me a lot", she explained.

"I'm glad to hear that, don't mess it up", I said.

I couldn't let her tell him about us.

After a few days, Dory felt much better and went to school with Kristina.

Kristina's POV
The first weeks went very well for both of us, but one day, didn't turn out so good. We had P.E class, and the class was divided in two parts. Dory was on the running team, while I was on the team where we played some kind of ball game. one of the mean boys, was on the opposing team, and he shot a ball right in my face, and I started bleeding. Anthony helped me with the blood, and we sat down talking for a while. When I came home, Joanna asked me what happened to my face.

"Boys are assholes", she explained.

That night, I was so busy snap chatting with Anthony that I forgot we had a test in history the next day. A test I failed. When I came home, I met Joanna in the dining room. She sat on a chair looking disappointed.

"Shit", I whispered.

"Today, I got a phone call from you teacher, who told me you failed your history test!", she explained.

"I'm sorry", I said.

"Why? Why did you get an F? Didn't you study?", she asked.

"No, Joanna.. I didn't", I told her.

"Why?", she asked.

"I forgot I had a test, when I was talking to Anthony the whole evening yesterday", I explained.

"Evening? Or night?", she asked.

"Night.. I went to bed around 2:00 am", I explained.

She sighed. I could tell she was pissed.

"Hand over your phone", she demanded.

"What?", I said.

"Hand over your phone!", she repeated.

"If this is what you're using your phone on, then I can't allow it", she explained.

I gave her my phone and then I went upstairs.

"What did you get on your test?", I asked Dory.

"An A", she told me.

"What!?", I said.
