3. ASAP

At lunch, I sit at my usual table, the table where all the important people should be. Beside me is my boyfriend Nick and of course my best friends Amanda and Tess.

We talk about nothing and everything during lunch through all the muffled sounds of the outcasts, that's what we call them. Nick is the captain of the track team. He is the fastest runner I know and the one I love.

Anyway, the day passes by smoothly except for the headache I got driving back from school, I thought it was maybe the traffic making me dizzy but it was something way worse. I'll have to get that checked.

As I open the front door I hear my dad and Jillian arguing. I already have this bad headache and this is making it worst.

"I've got a job and I need to be working. This is important, it's a new fashion line!" My dad shouts to my evil step mother.

"You have a daughter and a wife, you need to spend more time with them."She replies surprisingly calm.

"I can't-" he stops him self from saying whatever he was going to see when he realizes I'm here.

"Hey" I address my dad because I don't feel like talking to Jillian.

"Hi Alexis, honey, how was your day" apparently I wasn't enough clear that I was addressing my dad so Jillian chose to talk to me.

My headache is getting worse by the minute.

"Don't call me honey." I reply coldly hoping it sounded cold enough to reflect what I was thinking in my mind: I don't like you, back away from me, I hate you.

"And it was fine" I add. "Dad I have a really bad headache, can you call Dr.Maria? Ask her if I can come in today" I change the subject, talking about my head that feels like it's throbbing.

"Oh sure, maybe Jillian can call and perhaps take you." "Can you baby?" He addresses my evil step mother. I hate it when he calls her baby.

"Yeah of course! I would love to spend a little girl time with my girl" She replies.

"Okay, let's get this straight, first of all, I'm not your girl, second, your not going anywhere with me nor calling my doctor. I hate you, and I wish you never came in my life, it's bad enough my mom is dead, now I have the wicked witch of the west trying to steal my dads heart and his money. So leave me alone, I can take call and take myself to the doctor, thank you very much." I storm and run to my room.

I shut the door and start crying.

I hear footsteps.

The door opens, hoping it's not Jillian coming after me I sit on my bed and wipe my tears.

It's my dad.

"Alexis Grace Parker, what has gotten into you?" He shouts.

"It's not my fault you married a women who only likes you for your money." I reply.

"I can't believe you Alex, I thought we were in this together." My dad throws in the "I thought we were in this together" card. I know he will start talking about my mom.

"Well I thought we were too, but you just had to marry Jillian, right?" I hope I didn't sound to cold.

"I didn't have to. I love her, but I also love your mother. You know she would of wanted me to move on"

"Ughhhhhh. Dad don't do that. You don't know that. Maybe she's up in heaven wanting to pull out that little brats hair." I refer to Jillian.

"Oh well, I guess I can't convince you, but please, if you love me. Try to get along with Jil, you know, I think she really wants to be on good terms. Give her a chance. Starting with that trip to the doctor." He starts to walk out.

"But dad-" before I can finish my sentence he is gone.

Okay. I guess I can try to get along with Jillian. But there is one thing I won't do. And that's call her mom. As I think that. My headache gets worse. I'm gonna have to see that doctor ASAP.
