Trust Me I've Been Broken Before...

<<Chapter 22>>

Daniella's POV

I had a great weekend of sleeping in and watching Netflix. It's a pretty normal weekend since it's what I've been doing all my life, except when mom and I took a nice Sunday walk yesterday. Unfortunately it's Monday today and you know what that means, yeah, school.

I quickly get ready and put on my Purple Rain t-shirt with a long sleeve underneath, and my yellow striped black Adidas sweatpants. Going downstairs to eat, I find mom already up and ready, wow she even made breakfast today. "morning mom" I go to give her a kiss on her forehead since she's shorter than me.

"morning hunny, why don't you grab some breakfast and I'll drop you off at school". Okay what? I love when my mother is in a good mood, but what is this. I mean she even smiled and poured me some juice. That is very suspicious.

I eye her suspiciously "what is going on with you this morning?" My mom just laughs and sits down next to me "well I do have something to tell you, and just let me know if it makes you uncomfortable, okay? "

"okay mom get to the point now" she was clearly beating around the bush and it made me worried. "I've met someone and we've been going out for about 5 months now" she looks at me expecting something. "ohhh so that was the big reveal, seriously mom? I'm okay with whoever you date as long as they don't take advantage of you, I support any decision."

She sighs of relieve, probably thought I was gonna have an unreasonable outburst towards her new found lover. "do you guys like work together? " she nods. "yes and don't worry his wife died so there aren't any crazy exes out to get me. Oh and he has a son". A son?! Now i really need to meet them. "okay then you should invite them over sometime so we can meet each other" I take a last bite from my breakfast and run to my room to brush my teeth.

After brushing my teeth mom is already outside waiting for me. "I'm lucky to have a daughter like you Daniella" mom hugs me tightly. "uhm thanks ma but not so tight okay" I wince a little. She quickly lets go and we head off.

I arrive at school a little early so I decide to go to my favorite tree again. A few minutes later I start to draw. I can't even make out what the drawings are, just that it seems like I have a lot going on in my mind. Looking at the sketch I realize that I draw two familiar sets of eyes, one of my bastard of my dead father and the other of my ex best friend.

"morning Daniella" I look up to find Brian staring down on me, how did he find me? "uhm morning, can I help you?" I ask a little confused since the two of us never conversed before. "nope. Can I sit with you?"

I nod at his question and continue to stare at my sketch. He notices and glances over my shoulder. "that's pretty cool, yours?" pfft that's a dumb conversation started but I'll give him the credit. "uhh yeah I just drew it before you came".

He just hums to my answer and stares forward. "how come we've never talked to each other?" I ask curiously. "I don't like too many people and I wasn't sure how to react towards you, since I'm not that good with emotion."

"oh I see" it seems like we have alot in common. "besides you already have your hands full with Cole and Adrian" he laughs at the last part. Shocked to hear him laugh and I even saw two dimples sticking out, so cute.

The bell suddenly rings and the both of us get up and starts walkimg towards the building. Cole waits at the door the moment he spotted us. "morning you two. It's the first time I'm seeing you guys together." He lifts his eyebrows in a suggestive manner.

I gently shove his shoulder "pfft, we just got to know each other. Don't be weird about it." He laughs it off and we enter the school. The moment we enter the hall suddenly everyone seems to be whispering about some new girl.

"ohh I wonder who this person is to be getting everyone so worked up about" Cole glances around curiously to find this said person. "I just hope she's hot" of course he would think that, so typical of him.

As we get near to my locker it seems like a crowd is gathering around it. Maybe this girl's locker is next to mine. Why does she have to attract so much attention though, like I still need to get to my locker.

"Ahem. Can you all fuck away from my locker?" as if my words burned they all quickly made some way for me to get to my locker. What I did not expect to see was someone from my dear past to be leaning against it.

Mea.
