The Torturous Life of a High Schooler

Chapter 15

*When I got there I went right back to my place on the couch and fell asleep, thinking about what just happened and the effect those words had on him.*

We all woke up to Up All Night by Dad and my uncles. I guess Trent and Roxy were still all cuddled up when they woke up cause Roxy started yelling at him. I got up slowly and walked upstairs to my room still half asleep. While I was doing so I walked into the wall beside my door. Welp, that's just my luck. I'm like gonna have a big bruise on my face now, ugh! I'm awake now. I backed up and walked through the doorway this time.

I put on a green singlet (A/N-tank top in American), white shorts, and brown sandals. I brushed out my dirty-blonde hair and put it in a messy bun. I didn't put on makeup because I dont want it to smear if I start crying, but I dont think I have tears left. I went downstairs and saw Liz eating. She was wearing a flower printed shirt with jean shorts and sneakers. I grabbed some food that I guess Dad made and sat down to eat.

I checked my phone and had a lot of notifications. Some from WattPad and games that I have. One stood out from the others. It was a text from Ansel.

From: Ansel 

Hey. I cant get what you said out of my mind. I'm sorry for what happened and I think we should just forget about this and makeup, I'm going to break it off with Chrissy today at school. Please accept my apology. x

I couldn't control the tears from coming to my eyes. Come on! I was doing fine, not thinking about him, but of course it only lasted a short time. Yeah, he isn't going to be forgiven for a while. Randomly doing something and not thinking it through has its consequences and he has to learn them. I didn't respond and went back to eating.

I heard footsteps come down the stairs, but didn't look up. Then another set of feet entered the kitchen. "Hey! You're up!" Liz said. I glanced over and saw it was Roxy. She came and sat across the table from me with a plate in hand.

"Mr. Horan, this food.....is SOOOOO GOOODDDDD!" She exclaimed.

"Glad you like it, love. Remember, you can call me  Niall, now go upstairs and you kids get your teeth washed up." Dad responded. Roxy, Liz and the boys went up to do so.

"Daddy." I whined.

"What Nevaeh?" He said, mocking me.

"Can I stay home today?" I asked sweetly.

"No honey, remember what happened last time?" He responded.

"But, Daaaaaad." I dragged out the 'a'.

"No Nevaeh. I know what happened. Uncle Liam and Nathan told me yesterday, that's where I was the whole time." He answered.

"Oh, well thank you for not making it a big deal for me." I said gratefully.

"Your welcome. Now go and brush your teeth and try to have a good day at school!" He smiled.

"Okay, bye!" I said back with a small smile.

We walked to school and Derek met up with us on the way. Derek is Roxy's little crush. Once we got there, I went to my locker and walked to my homeroom to start a day of boredom and misery or what some call school.

(End of School)

We were packing up our stuff and Roxy asked Alaric, Derek, and I if we wanted to go to the orchard. The orchard is a place Alaric, Roxy, Joseph, and I found a few years ago that we sometimes went to hang out. We asked the owner if we could go whenever we wanted and she said only where the fully developed trees were. She explained that she didn't pick their fruit because they were a special breed that didn't sell well, but we love them.
