Meeting the Millers

|05| Carmen unmasked

A mask is usually worn as a covering for our faces, or it's often used as a disguise. If you were to tell me that you didn't have one I wouldn't believe you, everyone has more than one side to them and whether they choose to hide one part or let it show is up to them. I only wear one and it's called confidence, I've been so good at pretending for years that sometimes I forget I'm not actually like that in real life.

For once I'm not caring about my outfit today because I can't be bothered to wear my mask. I made sure I at least looked alive before leaving my bedroom, I hate people asking me questions.

Zoe spreads one last bit of butter onto a slice of toast before handing it to my little brother, "Thanks"

She ruffles his hair, "Your welcome"

Santiago comes down the stairs, "Wow Zo, you just couldn't get enough of me?" He places his hand on his heart

"Boy nobodies here for you" She says amused, he pouts before sitting besides Matty at the island

"Ready to go?" I ask, she nods and Sienna picks up her keys.

Enzo frowns as he comes down the stairs, "Is that mine?"

"Relax I'll give it back" I reply

He goes silent after noticing Sienna and the room goes quiet for a few seconds. "Earth to Lorenzo" Santi says with a mouthful of toast

How unusual

"Shut up"

"Let's go" Zoe says

Ok.... I found that just a little weird but I'm choosing to ignore it. I'm just hoping that today whizzes by quickly

~*~
"He asked you to leave?"

I nod and Zoe frowns, "Wow I guess he really is a dick"

"Luck just isn't attracted to me"

"I can't believe he has a sister, nobodies ever heard of her"

"Well maybe that's because cause nobodies been to his house"

As if on cue, the man himself walks right into history only this time he wasn't actually late. Zoe looks at me amused and I roll my eyes before writing the date in my book. Carter didn't see me at first but then when he sat down I was in his line of view.... he almost looked surprised.

I ignore him of course because why on earth would I waste my time staring at him, even if he is beautiful. However I could literally feel his eyes on me as Mr Richards began teaching the class. My phone vibrates and I frown before taking it out of my pocket, turns out Zoe took it upon herself to text me

Zoe: Looks like ocean eyes can't look anywhere but at you

She's enjoying this way too much.

Me: It's the first time he's ever noticed me in this class

Nobody decided to warn me about Mr Richards. Next thing I know he's towering over me, "Care to share whats so funny?"

I switch off my phone, "Oh it's just my sisters nudes"

He narrows his eyes at me and I frown as I sit back, "Your not expecting me to show you are you?..... cause that would be illegal" I say amused

Everyone looks back at Mr Richards curiously, including Carter. He clears his throat as embarrassment takes over and we all watch as he stands upright, "Just put the phone away"

I nod, "Will do"

He goes back to his desk and Zoe high fives me from underneath the table.

Works every time
