Not Stupid, Naive (On Hold)

Chapter nine

Mum came home around 7:50 p.m., and I felt my heart jump when I heard the doorbell.

"Chastity! Go get it!" Cyra yelled.

Really? So she wasn't going to stop me? I thought since I found out something I'm not supposed to find out, she'll try to, I don't know, make sure I don't talk to Mum.

I let Mum in, and she gave me a tight hug. "How has my baby been?" She asks.

"You're baby won't be fine if you squeeze her to death ," I tell her.

She laughs and lets me go, then rains kisses on my face. Ew.

"Mum..." I use my shirt to wipe my face.

"Where's Cyra?" She walks in. "Cyra!"

"Yo!" Cyra comes and hugs her. "Hey mum,"

"Hey, sweetie," Mum says and kisses her cheeks. "Something smells nice."

"It tastes nicer," Cyra says and drags mum to the kitchen while I follow them.

The evening goes...smoothly. I mean, it always goes smoothly, but I just found out Cyra was 'mating ' with some dude, and mum doesn't know.

Well, she wouldn't know if I unless I told her. Not that my mum has superpowers or anything, but I was expecting her to just guess something was off and one thing would lead to another, and she'll find out about Luke.

When dad came home, I was also expecting him to start questioning Cyra, too. I was expecting him to be like,'You're in big trouble, young lady '.

But nothing happened. We had dinner like any other day as we gisted about what we did. Well, they were the ones talking.

"Chastity, what wrong? Why are you so quiet?" Mum asks me.

I smile and shake my head. "Nothing,"

"Are you sure?" Dad asks.

I nod again. "Yup. Actually, I've lost my appetite. Good night. "

Throwing the plate in the sink, I rush up to my room before they can question me anymore.

I feel so weird, and I don't know why. I've  stopped menstruating just yesterday, but I know that's normal now, and I am definitely not sick, so what's the problem?

Maybe I'm just tired. Of what?

Being stupid?

Being lied to?

Being thrown around by my parents' inability to answer my questions?

Yeah, that must be it. Well, good news I've got a phone, so I have access to the internet.

At least Google tells you what you want just as it is.

I take out my phone and click on the search bar on Google.

'What is sex?' I type.

Google responds immediately:

'Sexual intercourse is sexual activity involving the insertion and thrusting of the male penis inside the female vagina for sexual pleasure, reproduction, or both'

Wait, that's it?

Seriously, that's what mum and dad can not say? Just a sentence? I dont see Storks' involvement at all.

Still wanting to know who was correct, I searched: 'Do storks deliver babies?'

Google responds:

'There is therefore absolutely no clear scientific evidence that storks do deliver babies. As a story, it was particularly useful for prudish Victorian parents as a way of explaining the birds and the bees to their children, who turned it into the widespread phenomenon it is today.'

What the heck?

I'm angry now. Why couldn't they just tell me that? It's not nice to lie to children.

I'm still scrolling for any more information that I need to know. I stumble upon the tab 'videos'

There are videos? This should be interesting.

I'm about to click on it when the door of my room opens. I turn around to see Cyra.

"What?" I ask her.

"Nothing, just checking on my little sister," she says, then plops down beside me.

I sit up and shove my phone under my pillows. " Well, I'm good, so please, can you leave?"

She suddenly hugs me. "I'm sorry for not coming for you at school,"

I push her away. "You've already apologised. I get that Luke is far more important than me, "

"He's not. I forgot to pick you up, and I'm sorry . "

"Because he was busy putting his penis inside you?" I blurt out and quickly cover my mouth.

Cyra looks shocked. "Excuse me?"
