Chapter 2~ Amelia

            Rising my black socks to my knees and straitening my skirt I looked in the mirror, I'm in my private school's uniform with my hair tied at the back of my head with a black bow that every girl in my school must wear as part of the school dress code.

      I tried my best to cover the bags under my eyes to hide the fact that I have been crying all night, I grabbed my bag and went downstairs with my head held low. I went to the car and Daniel opened the car door for me "Morning Ms Amelia," he said with a small smile, "Morning," I said without looking at him and sat down, I can feel him looking at me from the rear-view mirror.

      "Is everything ok, Ms Amelia?" he asked as he started the car, "No," I mumbled "Do you want to talk about it?" he asked, he was always there for me and listened to me, I'm going to miss him, "I'm getting married," I said and I saw him visibly tense "So Mr Perez really went through with it huh?" he said and I looked at him through the mirror "What do you mean?"

      "Nothing, it's just, he has been talking of marrying you off since you were 10" he said "10!" I exclaimed and he nodded, "I hate him, what kind of father does that?" I lashed out, I folded my arms over my chest and pouted "I'm going to make my future husband's life a living hell, he's going to wish he never married me, son of a bitch."

      I ranted off on how I'm going to make him regret ever signing the marriage thing till we got to school, I'm really not in the mood for school right now, I got out and walked to the doors where other students are going through in 2 lines, one after the other like a bunch of ants. I went to my first lesson which was art class, I like art class it keeps me relaxed, and right now I need this, I sat down on one of the chairs and a girl named Anabelle sat next to me, she has orange hair and big green eyes with freckles on her pointed noes, she is always quit and shy, always sits at the back of the room.

      I hardly heard her speak, "Hi, Anabelle," I smiled at her, she turned to me with a shocked expression "You know my name?" her voice is so low and smooth "Of course," I chuckled, she gave me a small smile and looked down, the teacher walked in "Good morning," she said with a big smile her cheery voice immediately made me smile, Ms Smith always made me smile, she reminds me of my mother always smiling and making jokes.

      "Today we're going to draw what we're feeling, get in touch with your inner self and let that expression paint the paper in front of you," she said waving her hands around as she moved along the room, What I'm feeling; hurt, sad, angry, I started to draw blocking everyone else around me, I focused on the blank paper in front of me.

      I drew an eye with a tear drop and a shadow in the iris trying to get out, all in pencil no colour nothing just black and white, I felt the back of my eyes sting, just in time the bell rang, thank God, I'd hate to cry in front of everyone, I packed my stuff and placed the paper on the pile on the teacher's desk.

      I went outside and kept my head low walking in the bathroom I locked myself in one of the stalls, I hate this, I hate this so much, my heart is breaking, I let the tears fall freely, why do I have to be the unfortunate and get married to someone I never even met?

      I got the courage and went out of the stall applying some more make up under my eyes and some lip balm on my lips before arranging my hair blowing a kiss to the mirror and left to go to my next class.

      I finally got through the rest of the lessons thank God because I thought I was going to break in history class when we were talking about accent couples.

      "Hey, Amelia, are you ok?" Amanda asked "Yeah I'm fine," I said with a tight smile, I talked to no one else till I arrived to the car, "Drive Daniel," I snapped getting in, "Is everything ok?" he asked as he dashed away "Yeah," I sniffed, he looked concerned.

~~~

      "Amelia, stop throwing a pity party for yourself and deal with it," my mother snapped as she saw me curled up in a ball on my bed "But mum-" I tried to talk but she cut me off "No, that is enough, I was once like you when I first found out that I will get married to your father, I was sad, angry even but then I showed him no fear and you shouldn't either, fear will only bring you death, they can smell the fear,"

      "But you are afraid," I said "I am yes, but before I was fearless and showed your father no fear but now it's no use of fighting anymore," she explained, I nodded "You're right," wiped under my eyes arraigning my hair and getting up.

      "No fear," I said and my mother smirked "No fear," she repeated "One day men will bow down to us, they will see we are just as great as them and maybe even better and stronger," I nodded feeling better "They will mum," I said and she gave me a small smile kissing my cheek, "Tomorrow we are going to a spa," she said "But I have school."

      "Skip it, you're not going to finish it anyway," I nodded and she left, that's right, I won't graduate, all that hard work and studying is all for nothing, whatever.

      I went out of my room and into my brother's room where my little sister was sleep and he was playing his video game, I laid down next to Nora and kissed her head moving her golden hair away from her face, I looked at Cade and he was so concentrated on the game his brown hair is all messy.

It's crazy how I love my brother but at the same time I just want to punch him in his face.
