ANGEL’S POV’S
Today is the day, I’m moving with some family while my parents go to Japan
I clearly remember our argument yesterday
‘Anne, you are going to be staying with them for just 5 months’. My mom yells
‘No am not, I can stay with Aunt Isadora’ I whine
There is a reason why I don’t want to stay with some strangers
‘Um Anne I’m warning you, your aunt just went through a divorce, she won’t appreciate company’. My mom reasons
They broke up, but they seemed so happy together
‘What about Nana?
‘Angel let’s make a deal, your therapist called in today and said yesterday was just like any other day, so if you move freely with the Andersons, you are nice to them. For the period you will stay there no therapy but if not, you’ll still stay with them but they’ll know all about the therapy and your conditions and you can take your gun if it makes you feel save’. My Step dad butts in
And here I am in front of the house I went partying yesterday although Auntie Rose is nice, I don’t know about her children and husband
‘Hey Aunt Rosaline’ I say smiling while adjusting my glasses, I’ve thought things through about the way I would keep my real self away from them and I think I figured it out
Lock your room always and make sure to avoid contact with the family
‘Oh hey Angel’. She says ushering me in, my mom and step-dad enters grinning at Aunt R
‘So I have three children’. She says smiling
I think I should activate my powers, I mean Jeez they are all smiling but just to give them secrecy I’ll keep quiet
They are my parents it feels wrong to intrude their thought
But you didn’t think twice before intruding the guys thoughts
‘Ryan and River, they are 17 your age and attend your school. You may even know them also they are twins. And my little darling Rebecca but we call her Becca’. Aunt R says
Note; she ain’t my aunt just a slang I call her
‘Where are they right now?’ I ask, I mean it is Sunday besides church they should be home by now
Not that it’s any of my business
‘Oh they have foot ball practice but Rebecca is sleeping right now’. She responds
2 hours later
2 hours of boredom, I have settled down and Rosa had to leave so I’m in the living room playing candy crush
How I wish to just remove the layer off foundation on my face and the stupid wig but no who knows who can come in anytime
Like God heard my thoughts
Some boys comes in making me frightened
Loser you have powers for a reason…. Be invisible
Who are you calling loser?
‘So guys we’ll be having …… Angel what are you doing here?’ Ryan says
OH MY GOD
Ryan and River
Why are you so stupid?
Please how was I supposed to relate it together and who are you calling stupid I am you dimwit
Aunt R clearly said oh they are your age they even attend your school-
‘Angel?’ A voice snaps me from my trance
I can’t believe I was having a conversation with myself
‘Uh?’ I say looking at Sam, Alex and River. They have confused expression all over their face
‘What are you doing here?’ Ryan asks
‘Oh I’m going to be staying her for a while, my parents travelled to Japan and left me here’. I mutter knowing I had lied yesterday
Well sort of
‘SO YOU ARE A SMITH’. Ryan screams
‘Chill, I also don’t want to be here’. I shoot back, Ryan seems taken by my response but covers it up quickly before smiling
Curiosity gets the best of me so I decide to peep into his mind one more time
If she stays here it would make the dare be done with faster, might even f**k the b**ch just for the fun of it
F**k me? As if, I’m the type of girl that means no sex before marriage
‘I’m just goanna go for a walk’. I say running out of the house, I have to think things through. I walk gently across the pavement looking at a park, I run there hoping to find some quietness. Luckily for me there is nobody at all there, seems abandoned. I sit on a bench in hope to just relaxWhy does my life have to be so complicated?
Why can’t I have a normal teenage life like in the movies, this is totally not some Watt pad book where I will fall in love with the guy and he’ll forget the dare and fall in love with me
Even if I like the guy I’m not stupid to date him with the motives he arbors, although just to be sure I can always read his mind to know if he truly loves me
Soon I doze off on the bench and the time Mother Nature decided to wake me up there are 3 men standing in front of me
‘Excuse me’. I say standing up, I mean I really ain’t pretty now so why would this scumbag want to try anything with me
As one is about to touch me, Ryan comes out of nowhere and starts bashing up the guys
After he is done with his heroism, I just stare at him in disgust knowing his true intention
Mind reading ability is terrible if I had not known what he actually wanted from me, I’ll see him in another manner.
As a guy who doesn’t care about beauty but what resides in his heart
I walk past Ryan not noticing his significance; he looks shocked but still follows me
‘A thank you would be nice’, He says
‘I was okay back there, didn’t need you to play hero’. I mutter, I was actually curious to what I could have done to those men
‘It’s not my fault, I didn’t just want a girl like you to lose her virginity like that’. Ryan says smirking, it’s just like his way to assure himself that I’m a virgin and to rub it in
‘And who told you I’m a virgin? You need to stop assuming things, who told you that I didn’t have sex in the party,’ I smirk, this guy is too proud and if I manage to fall in love with him, whoa I must be crazy, I enter the house angry all of a sudden.
Stupid powers, stupid stupid powers
‘Angel come and have dinner’. Aunt R says, I smile at her not wanting to be in this awkward situation
‘No thanks, I’m not hungry’. I say climbing the stairs
1 day down, 154 days to go
I’ll never make it out here without ripping some one’s head off
And by that someone I mean Ryan
