Living with her awful, cruel heartless step mom, Riley has to suck in the pain of losing her mom and getting less love from her dad and new mother. Miserable at home and worse than she thought, new school, new home, new everything.... Everyone seems...
I stood there waiting for his answer as I stood as far as possible. You never know he may try to tie me up or something and ask for ransom. Well he wouldn't get it cause nobody in my family cares except my relative in Nigeria but they are far so their opinion wouldn't matter
"Okay can you sit down for a moment" he said leaving a plate of bagels and cookies on the table
He dashed upstairs and I was left there all alone shooting stares at the delicacies that were also looking at me on the plate

"Eat us Riley" the bagels said
"No eat us" the cookies yelled
Okay I'm a psycho I concluded, I'm busy imagining food talking to me.
Dear God, they look mouth watering.
I sat down and looked closely at the bagels....
"I'm sure sparkle eyes won't mind if I had one" I said to myself before I grabbed one I took a bite and felt like I wanted to melt in the couch
I then took another but I was hesitant abit.
Meh! Just one more bagel and cookie. I took bites little by little feeling heaven in my mouth. I then heard someone laugh as his voice covered the room with echoes. I opened my eyes and found Sparkle eyes laughing at me holding his stomach. "You should really look at you face in a mirror" he said between laughs I looked for a mirror in my purse and my confused self looked at my reflection, crumbs were all over my cheeks,chin, forehead....let's just say my whole face.
"What are you laughing about?" I said as I grabbed a napkin and wiped my face clean
I reached out to grab another cookie while still looking at sparkle eyes and felt nothing on the table. Did they disappear or what? I looked at Sparkle eyes and blinked repeatedly.
"Where are my bagels and cookies?" I asked feeling like I was about to cry
"You ate them dumbo" he responded while shaking his head
"Wait Whaatt? I ate all those" I asked holding my cheek and feeling embarrassed
"Yep, I got a hippo in my house" he said walking up to me
"I'm not a hippo, they were just so delicious and I love bagels that's all" I said in my defense
"Yeah right" he said as he sat down on the couch
I sat down on another couch. He pulled out his phone and stared tapping continuously
23 minutes on the clock
"Okay Mr. Spa---" I ended mid sentence
He doesn't have to know about the weird name I gave him that's my secret
Yes it's mine.
"Excuse me so you said this is where we're meeting my partner" I said
"Are you always this dumb or you're acting?" He said as he chuckled
