Knight in Bloody Armor (Ghost Series Part 5)

Chapter 17

Kaden

As I feed my little baby sister her bottle, I listen to Adrian and Faye's conversation about our new school. In just a week, I'll be forced to stay away from my little fairy and I won't get to be with her for the whole days like I do now, not to mention the fact that she'll be in a different class than me due to taking normal course instead of the advanced one like me. She doesn't need to take special business classes like me, because - from what she told me - she wants to become a hair stylist or a beautician. To be completely honest, I don't see the difference between the two, but I would never dare tell my Faye that. She'd probably shave my head bald if I did.

Apart from me and Faye, my friends are also changing schools. They've had their issues with our last school, so dad suggested helping them transfer somewhere else. The guys were honestly shocked when I told them about that, but they instantly contacted their parents to tell them about the idea. I was honestly expecting to hear refusal from at least Gio's dad, since he's known to be a neglectful asshole, but he just said, "Do what you want, as long as I don't have to pay for it." Gio's words, not mine.

I can't believe that Gio's father is not ashamed to show his indifference so blatantly. He doesn't even care that the way he treats his son is so outrageous he's made himself quite a few enemies, my parents included. I wouldn't be surprised if he suddenly disappeared from the face of the earth. That's how pissed my parents are about his shitty attitude, especially after seeing how hurt Gio truly is because of it. Mom doesn't take stuff like this lightly. She's also had shitty parents before grandpa Tyson adopted her, so she understands what Gio is going through with his asshole of a father.

Speaking of Gio, he's supposed to drop by later, but unfortunately he won't be alone, judging by the ominous text I received while I was still asleep. 'I have a surprise for you! But prepare the doghouse, cuz the bitch is tagging along.'

There's only one person Gio calls a bitch - his stepsister, Eliza.

Oh boy, if she's coming then... I'm fucked.

I wish mom was home today. She'd deal with the little cunt in less than five seconds. I try to avoid dealing with the little skank, mostly because she thinks it's okay to grope me every fucking time she sees me. Bitch is going through her first heat and unfortunately I'm the object of her sexual frustrations.

I mean, I know I'm handsome - not to sound vain or anything - but I'd never even think about getting it on with a fucking fourteen-year-old. Little cunt is crazy for getting her hopes up. I'll never, ever think of Eliza as anything but a disrespectful, spoiled brat.

I'm so lost in my thoughts I barely notice that Amantha is done with her bottle. Thankfully my sister is quite vocal about her needs and starts babbling as soon as she finishes drinking her milk. I carefully reposition her so she's against my shoulder and wait for the monstrous burp that's about to escape her. I just hope she doesn't puke on my back.

"Please, don't throw up on me, little elephant." I chuckle nervously when I realize I've put on one of my favorite shirts earlier. She better not ruin it.

"Elephant?" Faye laughs at the nickname. "Why?"

"Did you know that elephants are extremely protective of their young?"

"Yeah, what about it?"

"My baby sister may be the most dangerous person in the whole city, if not country, because of how protective her mother is. - I explain - One sign of distress from this little munchkin and my parents will go crazy."

Faye seems quite shocked when she hears it. "Really?"

"Yeah. Mom is... murderously protective of everyone she holds dear."
