Loving You Is A Loosing Game

New Boy

Cindrella's POV

I groaned,  putting my damn alarm off, I hate waking up  with alarm as much as I hate going school but it's a life saver without it I couldn't handle the wrath of my mother.

I dragged my limp body to washroom and did my morning routine. Quickly putting on my school uniform I went downstairs for breakfast.

My father was reading newspaper in the living room while my brother had his head inside his phone.

"Good morning Dad. "

"Good morning Honey. "
I kissed his cheeks and smacked my brother's head.

Sitting on the chair next to my brother as we all gathered in the dining room I cleared my throat to ask.

"Mom, Dad our school is organizing a trip to New York in the month end, its not mandatory for all, anyone can go and since its six days trip  Um.. can I go? "

In my mind I knew my father would oppose it but  my mother always had upper hand over Dad.

"Ofcourse you can go, you should participate in extra co-curricular activities."
My mom said passing a glass of milk to me.

"But  Layla, Honey New York is too far from Houston. "
Dad protested to Mom.
Dad was always protective of me saying -
' No matter how old she gets she will always be my small pea.'

But for now I let my mom handle my Dad. I gave her my most sincere, undeniable puppy eyes.

"You can't protect her all your life James ,she has to go out and face her life. "
Mom stated in her determined voice .

"But who will go with her? "
My big brother who was even more overprotective than my Dad asked.

He was home for two days now, he had his own apartment which was at a distance of an hour from here.

"Oh Ellis can go with me I'll  ask her later in the evening. "
I knew my brother would go nuts after listening her name.

"Mom how they both will manage there and that city is miles away from here. "
My desperate brother tried to convince my mother.

I didn't knew what was going between El and my dumb brother but I  didn't bother much as El would eventually blurt out all the secrets.

My brother was her senior in school and besides that they were also childhood friends, he has a secret crush on El since he was ten and my crazy best friend is head over heels for him but both of them are holding  back themselves.

" She is grown up woman now she can take care of me. And yeah accommodation and all other expenses are on school, also if you will go with me we will have to share a room and how can I share a room with you so El will go with me. Right Mom? "

"Yes baby."
Mom agreed. My parents were always busy in their work but they always cut their time for us. Dad is a bank manager and Mom is an assistant to a government official , they are also saving for us for our masters in Stanford.

"But Mom."
Ajax interrupted again. Its not that I hate my brother I love him to no ends but annoying him was my most favorite thing to do.

"Ajax"
Dad said sternly living no room for further argument. He squinted his eyes on me knowing fully well that I took El's name on purpose to piss him off.

I finished  my breakfast ,packed my lunch box and went to the stop to wait for the bus.

My first subject was literature, I sat at my place, took out the books when the teacher came along with a boy.
