Flashback
"Yes!" I reply, just a tiny bit too happy about being the only child again. "Wait but what about my step mom and step brother?" I ask. Very curious about them for some reason.

"We weren't really married"

End of Flashback

What?!!!!
HE DID NOT JUST SAY THAT.

So you're trynna tell me that I've been living with strangers for 2 months?

"Huh?!" I finally respond.

"I said that we weren't-"

"No I heard what you said..." I role my eyes and continue, " I just don't know what to say"

"Then don't say anything dear." He replied with a smile.

I didn't smile back...

I'm literally going to say something just because he told me not to.

"Why did you make me believe otherwise?" I ask.

"That's a story for another day. Can we please leave. I'm really cold." He answered. Putting his hands in his jacket pocket.

It's literally so hot but okay...

"Uh ye sure." I reply. I don't want to push it. Well not yet at least.

"So I'll pick you up tomorrow night?" He asks me, as we stand up.

I nod.

"7pm?"

"7pm." I confirm. I walk to my car and leave.

I really need to get a new car.

I turn off the alarm

I don't wanna go to school today. It's going to be really embarrassing to sit alone in the cafeteria, be the last one chosen in PE or even walk alone in the hallway.

I know I'm practically invisible at school , but I don't want to also feel invisible.

"Wake up." I hear my stepmother Bianca say.

"No." I reply and put my pillow over my head.

Suddenly I feel my blanket being pulled off me. I shivered from the sudden exposure of my legs, in my so-short-only-you-should-see-it pajamas.

"Leave me alone!" I shout.

Have you noticed that I'm not a morning person? :) Because Bianca (step mother) obviously doesn't know that yet.

"I said get out of bed! Oh and I forgot to mention that since you didn't wash the dishes yesterday I canceled the order for the dishwasher ." She tells me and leaves the room with a smirk.

Jokes on her I'm going to move in with my dad today.

DING

I pick my phone up to see who texted me.... Joe? What does he want? It's like 7am!

I read the text:

Joe— where were you? I didn't see you after the maths test... :(

He noticed I was gone?! :)))
