My Lion. || BXB

chapter eight.

after father had locked the front door to our house behind him, he followed me into the living room. i flopped down onto the couch, "i'm so tired." a groan left my lips with my words.
"long day?" my dad asked, and i could tell he was itching to know all about it.
"dad, it was fine, honestly." i freed him from his nerves and watched as he let out a sigh of relief. "i made a nice group of friends, most of the teachers were pretty chill and—"
"most? most of the teachers? which ones weren't chill? tell me their name huntley i'll call the school and let them know your situatuon—"

"dad stop." i said. "i don't have a situation, okay? not anymore. now i'm just a normal kid, please dad don't do anything. don't call, don't text, let me do this by myself. i can do this." i said, but by the end of it i wasn't sure if i was trying to convince my father or myself.

"okay, okay huntley i won't." he sighed, folding his arms. "have you eaten?"
"yeah i ate at my friends house, freddie."
"tell me about all your friends." he said, sitting down in the arm chair besides me. i rested my head and closed my eyes before telling him about the little friend group i was now apart of. i also mentioned marianna, but i didn't dare even whisper lionel's name. after all, him and i weren't even friends so why would i?

after a long conversation of recapping every second of my day to my dad, he finally let me make my way up to my room and i couldn't be more thankful. i love my dad, i really do but right now i just want some sleep.

my dad's just a bit overprotective after my past, that's why he asks all the questions and constantly checks up on me. he doesn't mean to come across as a crazy, insecure girlfriend or anything, he just gets paranoid if he doesn't hear from me for a few hours. thats why throughout the day i have ti send my a few texts making sure he knows i'm still alive and well. i don't necessarily mind though, if it puts my dads mind at rest i'll happily send him a quick text every few hours.

after entering my room, i flopped down onto my bed tiredly. and then, my phone started pinging with multiple notifications. i was very confused, that was certain. i unlocked the device with face ID again, and then realised i had been added to a groupchat.

the members of said groupchat were cormac, isaac, mickey, freddie and nick. all the boys from today, which was nice. now i truly felt like i was one of them.

i chuckled to myself but then my phone died which kinda sucked. i hope they don't think i'm ignoring them...

but now that i wasn't on my phone anymore, i could finally get some sleep! i leant down to my phone charger and plugged my phone in before turning off my light and then climbing into bed. i knew by now it was past 11PM, so i know it'd gonna be a total challenge to get out of bed tomorrow.. but its what has to be done unfortunately.

day one of a brand new school is officially completed. i'm absolutely exhausted, but i did it.
