Forever With Us

Chapter 7: Boyfriends?

A few weeks later

Ringg!!!!

I open my eyes slowly and stare at the ceiling for a few minutes. Everything is settling to its own place. It's been a few weeks since I have moved here and I'm handling Seatle life very well. My school life is also going great. Like really great.

I have gotten to know them all more. Last week we had a party at Noah's house and I met his sister. She is so sweet and kind.

Aiden is the only child and we both get along very well. I never thought that I will get along with a guy like Aiden. I know that he is a ladies' man and casanova but he never forces himself to anyone and that's one of the things I like about him apart from his goofy and funny character.

And also I met one of the guys in their gang. His name is Chase Dylan. We haven't spoken much yet since he is not a talker but he is incredibly handsome. Ava has already set his eyes on him the moment she joined our school.

But one thing has been itching my skin the day I saw that dark blue eyes. I and Ash never really talk much. We share a few glances and he smirks for unknown reasons but that's the only moment we share. He is always on the playing field or solves maths questions.

Oh, I forget to tell you something about him. He is not just handsome and muscular but intellectual as well. He solves maths problems in the blink of an eye. In the last maths class, the whole class was struggling to solve a problem but he solved it like a piece of cake. Even the teacher was astonished.

Oh yeah, there was a moment when I was struggling so hard to solve one of the calculus questions and he noticed it then he wrote the answer on a piece of paper and threw it in my direction.

Aiden bickered him a lot for that and he ended up getting a punch from Ash as usual.

I sigh and look at the clock which is hanging on the wall. Holy shit god. It's 7.50 am already I have to be in school in exactly 10 minutes.

I jump from my bed and go straight to the restroom. I did all my business over there and go over to my closet to pick something to wear. I get ready and head downstairs.

"Mom!! Why didn't you wake up me??" I ask her while putting my shoes on

"Oh, I just woke up now. I waited for your dad to arrive yesterday but he came pretty late so I didn't get enough sleep. Sorry honey" she says while covering her cheek with one hand. 

"Oh ok, no worries but why are you covering your cheek?" I ask

"Uhmm it's nothing I have a toothache," she says avoiding eye contact with me

I go over to kiss her but she backs away a little and her cheek seems swollen.

"Mom why is your cheek seems swollen? is it a bruise" Now I'm getting very suspicious

"Uhmm it's nothing. A baby scratched my face earlier at the store. I think you should get going it's already late"

'You just said that you have a toothache right? I question

"Yeah I just ahh I-- I---" she stutters

"Make a cup of coffee" my dad comes from nowhere

I turn around and look at my dad. He rubs his eyes and walks towards the sofa wearing his pyjamas. Why didn't he kiss mom or say hi to me?

 My mom nods and goes to make a cup of coffee for my dad.

"Dad mom seems unwell I think you should make your coffee and take her to a doctor," I know he is a busy man but he can't expect mom to do everything even when she is sick.
