Ying Yang love

Chapter 15

Madi's POV

-

I sit in my car and stare at the wheel for a second. Should I walk into school? Why are my emotions so all over the place. They feel so.. increased. The emotional pain I felt last night just made me want to crawl up in my bed and never come out.

I sigh and rub my forehead slowly. I reach over to the passenger seat and grab my bag but wince in pain from my back. I haven't been healing since yesterday which has been a burden. I still haven't seen my dad return home ever since that disturbing incident.

I open the door and the coldness hits me instantly which causes me to hug myself. I close my car door and sling my bag over my shoulder then start walking into school. I can already tell by the grey clouds that it isn't going to be a good day. I can see that the dark grey clouds just want to cry and reflect my mood. I sigh again for what feels like the 90th time but I just can't help it.

Adopted. Can't trust anyone. No. I have to trust people and I will find my parents no matter what. I won't let everything around me crumble until there's nothing left.

I look up to see Alema walking my way with Bradley behind her which causes me to try smile but I fail. "What's wrong?" I ask first. I could tell by the bags under her eyes.

"Shouldn't I be asking you that? You're the one that looks like shit." She motions towards my clothes and I look down at my light pinksweater and white jeans.

"It's not that shit.. Is it?" I keep staring and look down at my pink flats that matches my sweater.

"Penelope wants to see yous." Bradley interrupts out conversation.

I look away and think to myself. What does make me think I can trust Penelope? Being one of us isn't exactly enough proof. I guess there isn't anything pointing badly towards her anyway.

"Madi?" Alema asks.

I look at her black trackies which causes me to raise an eyebrow at her, "and I'm the one that looks like shit." I say and walk past her which causes her to scoff.

I look down at the ground while I walk behind Bradley. Please.. don't worry. Don't ask what happened to me either, I can't tell anyone. I feel someone nudge my shoulder which causes me to stumble back and I look up to a smiling Bradley then he gives me a playful wink. "Cheer up, buttercup."

I feel a small grin form on my face and roll my eyes at him. I look behind at Alema to see she was distracted too. I frown and nudge her shoulder with mine. She blinks slowly and looks up from the ground to look at me. "Cheer up, buttercup." I say and tease Bradley in front of me which causes him to scoff.

Alema smiles and we finally enter the room with Penelope sitting down at the desk with Lauren talking to her. I really don't understand their friendship when Penelope hates Lauren and Lauren still sticks around.

Penelope looks us up and down then examines our face slowly. She rolls her eyes at us which causes Alema and I to look at each other with a confused frown. "Do yous need a tissue for your issue or do I just have to handle it everytime?" Penelope says coldly.

I stare at her in shock and actually take a step backwards in shock but Bradley is behind me which means I accidentally stepped into his chest. I take a step forward again and just stare at Penelope with a blank face.

You can't trust anyone.

Penelope lets out a weird laugh that I haven't heard before. "I was just kidding. No need to be so serious." She smacks the desk which causes Lauren to jump. "Leave Lauren." Penelope glares at Lauren.
