Inside the Mirror

Ch.3~ What to do

Solcia POV

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Soon, the bell rang. The guy next to me was already packed up and swiftly went out of class without even glancing at me or looking back. Well then, that's not rude at all! *sarcasm* I gathered up my stuff and went to meet my friends at the parking lot. My house was close, so I walked home but liked to stay a bit and chat with the others. I shortly saw them.

"Hey guys, thanks for leaving me in science!"

"We didn't forget about you, you just walk really slow." Of course Cara would say that.

"Ok, whatever you say. Did you see that kid who sat next to me in science?"

"Yeah, he came in late. I think everybody saw him. Why, is there something 'weird' about him?" Cara always remembers who comes in late-until the next class. . .

"Yeah, actually, there is. This morning I saw him and he was with 2 other people -a boy and girl who I think are dating- and he had gold eyes. In science he had black eyes and didn't say anything, he didn't even look at me."

"Is that who you were looking at this morning? Are you sure you saw their eyes right? They were pretty far away." Willow asked.

"Willow, I'm positive. They all had Gold eyes."

"Idk, we will see tomorrow. So how was everybody's first day of school?" Willow asked.

"Good." We all responded in unison.

I checked the time and saw that I should be heading to my house. "Hey guys, I have to start walking home, but I'll text you guys later. Bye!"

"Bye!"

With that being said, I started walking home.

Cara POV

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sol started walking off to her house, and we all started leaving soon after. "Hey Hera, Dad said Gabe could come over so he is coming in the car."

"Fine. Get in you lovebirds!"

Me and Gabe hopped in the back while Hera drove. She was the only one who could drive.

"So Gabe, How was your day?"

"Good. I got second chair in orchestra."

"Why are you not first chair? I need to talk to that teacher because there is no reason for you to not be first chair!" Wow, how could the teacher not put him in first chair! He plays so good!

"Well, the first chair plays really good so then, I got put second chair. Hera got first chair and Sol got Fourth chair, first violin."

"Why is Sol not Higher and why is my sister first chair? This teacher needs to change her seating!"

"Hey, I'm here to. What do you mean how did I get first chair?" Hera butted in.

"Nobody was talking to you! Now just keep driving." Hera didn't respond after I said that and started driving again. I had enough time to talk to her.

"So how was drama? Any plays coming up?" Gabe knows I love to act and sing if I'm singing for a show.

"Yeah, Mary Poppins is coming up in 3 months. I'm going to audition for Mary Poppins- Of course."

"Ok, let me know because if the teacher doesn't give you the part, I'm going to have to argue with her and convince Sol to use her lawyer skills to convince the teacher to get you that part! And maybe I could convince her to do my book report. . ."

"Gabe, do you want her to make you sound like a little girl, because we all know she would do that and I would help her."

Gabe looked at me pretending to be hurt. "You wouldn't stop her? You would help her? Fine! Be like that!"

"Wow Gabe, why aren't you in drama?"

"Hate to break you two lovebirds up, but we are at the house!"

"Ok Hera, we are getting out." Wow, that was fast.

Gabe grabbed my backpack for me and held the door open while I got out.

"Wow, such a gentleman Gabe!" As soon as I got out of the car, I started running and said "Race you to the office!" We always did our homework in the office.

Needless to say, I beat him up. He came in a few seconds later, panting. I did feel a little bad, he had to walk up the stairs with about 20 pounds worth of stuff.

"Put the stuff down and lets start doing homework." He put the stuff down while I turned on the music. We then started doing homework.

Solcia POV

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I started walking up to the door when I noticed my dad isn't here. That's weird, but he has been acting strange lately. A few weeks ago, my mom just left. How or why? I don't know. I remember the night before, I said goodnight to my parents and everything was fine. The next morning, I wake up to my dad saying that my mom left. Whenever I asked why or at what time, he ignored me. I have a feeling he didn't do anything, but who else could have? Ever since then, he has been acting not like himself.

I walked up to the door and put in the keys. When I tried to open the door, it turns out I actually locked the door. That's odd, my dad never leaves the door unlocked. I opened the door and the House was fine. He must have been in a hurry and forgot to lock the door I thought to myself. I was just lying to myself. I know my dad well, and he always makes it a priority to lock the door. First the guy at science, and now this? I shrugged it off. There was no way I would be able to do my homework thinking about this. I made myself some tea and did my homework.

Half way through my math, I was about to start the next equation when I felt something off. I felt like I put the wrong answer. I looked at my last answer, and looked back at my work. I forgot to put a negative. It was weird, how I get a feeling if my answer is wrong. I just wish it was more like that on tests. I shrugged it off, drank some tea, and continued with my homework.

Around Dinner time (6:30) My dad came in. I was still in my room when he yelled "Solcia! Get down here and start cooking dinner or you are grounded!" That was weird. He never forced me to make dinner, and he never yelled at me. Startled, I walked down stairs. I started cooking dinner. I soon finished and put it on the table. "Dinner is ready!" I called out. My dad came in and just looked at the food. He then came up to me and yelled "Is this what you call dinner?! A pig could cook better! Grab some food and head up to your room." I grabbed my food and turned around. He was right there in my face, ready to slap me. I don't know how I did it, but I ducked just in time. I ran upstairs with my food and locked the door. He looked really angry and surprised when I ducked.

I ate my food and started thinking. What's up? My dad never acts like this. Also, a normal person wouldn't be able to respond as fast as I did if it was a surprise hit. I didn't know he was going to hit me, so how did I respond so fast?
