Unrealistic expectations

Chapter 8

It's 7:20am ,me and Haven are getting breakfast together getting the chance to gossip without the guys hearing."wait so did you hear about the fresh man and the teacher?"Haven exclaims but in a quiet manner.

"Wait seriously I thought that was just a rumour! I guess it makes sense she left and he got fired."I reply back. "This school is a mess."I announce as we get our trays and walk back to the table.

"Hi guys"i say to the boys as me and Haven sit down next to each other. I often get a mix of looks from students so i didn't think anything from them even if I feel them burning on the back of my neck.

Without saying anything, Damien hands me his phone that is opened on a message.

'Is this really the person you want to be talking to? Or even going to school with? Athena Chapman , a 15 year old girl from london is a murderer. October 23rd 2019 she killed her sister. Isabella Chapman. Her sister died from over dosing and Athena was the only one home. She is truly guilty.'

I scan through the article , anger within me building up. "What is this? Gossip girl I didn't kill my sister!" I shout.

I jump out of my chair and a hand tries to grab me but I walk off towards Astrid.

"Astrid what the fuck is wrong with you?!"I yell knowing that she posted this.

I grab her collar pinning her to the wall. "What the fuck!your sick if you think this is funny. You never cared about Isabella ,ever! And for you to write this is messed up"I continue yelling and at this point Damien , chris and Asher are trying to get me off Astrid. As much as they pull , I resist not letting go of this bitch.

"How could you! This is all lies and you know it." I shout with anger flustered all over me. Her face white. Fear plasters all over her face, frozen , terrified to move.

"I was 12! Fucking 12 you cunt! I was a child!" I cried out. I wasn't upset at all ,in fact I was furious. She is no sister of mine.

The guys finally were able to drag me off her with full force as they push me into an empty classroom.

"I despise her!" I yell with anger still trying to calm inside of me. Me and Astrid were never close. She was a daddy's girl and I wasn't. We never shared anything expect a last name. I was use to her bullshit throughout the years but this cuts it. Why would she write this? What was she trying to get at. What is her motive?

"Athena please calm down" Haven says holding my hands in hers. "This is why everyone is scared of me, they think I'm a murderer."I state. "We know it's not true ,Athena we never believed it. We only got the message this morning."Chris announces.

"Who would do that to their sister?" Asher questions Astrid's poor choices. "She is going to regret that." Damien states back.

I finally calmed down after a while. We ended up going up to my dorm as classes were starting but there was no way I was going.

They tried to change my focus to something else as we talked about other things. A knock at my door interrupts our conversation as I get up to answer it. Grayson walks in with his phone in his hand. "Dude where the hell have you been?!" Chris questions looking towards Graysons blank expression.

"Took the account down. She can't just be doing shit like that." He says turning his gaze towards me. I roll my eyes because I know I have to thank him."thanks" I say with a tight smile.

"I still think I should have killed her." I state as Grayson nods . "Um no bad Athena. Murder is bad."Asher replies back while Haven is chuckling. Me and Grayson definitely hate each other but we're still alike.
