LOST

Chapter 4

We walked and walked, me getting impatient beside him.

"Oh my god Tobin are you serious?" I shouted beside him, seeing the cold play poster.

"Damn serious" he said grinning at himself.

"Oh my godddddddddd" I said hysterically kissing him on his cheek.

We went inside the arena. I swear I had that big grin stuck on my mouth the whole time cause I just couldn't stop doing that. This was my biggest dream since I was a kid to go to this concert and here I was.

"So how do you like it madam" he said using his Dutch accent.

"Oh I am loving it Tobs" I said.

We found our seats and sat while we could because when the band popped up on the stage, I lost my stamina of sitting on my seat and stood up the whole concert and that was the only time that day that I stopped worrying about me getting kicked out of my own house. I sang and sang till I could no more. Tobin doing the same right beside me.

"You know what Tobin?" I shouted over the crowd and the noise.

"What?" he shouted louder than me enjoying the shouting.

"You're the best a gal can have" I said.

He laughed so hard on that and I joined in. after the concert we went to TGIF. I was riding the shotgun while he was driving.

"Tobin tonight was the best day of my life "I said.

"Glad you enjoyed it" he said.

"Enjoyed it? I loved it" I said happily.

"Ok so back to the reality what's up with your grades" he asked with concern.

"ummm I got a B+, and if dad finds out he is going to beat me to shit" I said sighing.

"And will throw you out of the house" he said.

"I don't think they will do that since I am their daughter" I said a bit unsure.

"That is true" he said.

Then silence followed I liked the silence because I didn't want to talk about it. He dropped me off at my place I thanked him

I walked slowly and quietly inside the house, not wanting to wake anyone up. I climbed the stairs and went inside the room. I locked the door and turned around and saw dad sitting on my bed.

"Dad? " I asked.

"Where were you Mavis? I called you but you didn't pick up" he said calmly.

The tone of his voice indicated that he was not drunk which relieved me a bit.

"I was with Tobin" I said, tensed.

"I went in your back pack and look what I found." he said.

Showing me my graded assignment. I held my breath

"You didn't tell me Mavis, why?

"I was about to tell you tomorrow" I stated.

"I told you that I wanted good grades Mavis not these pathetic ones. Why don't you understand you need to work hard like me and your mother to get a good position in this country and this house and since you have not brought the result I expected so you will get the punishment. You leave the house Friday morning" he roared.

"But where will I live?" I asked while crying.

"You will live in new jersey with Aunt May" he said and stood up and left the room

I cried and cried till I could no more I  hated my parents how could they do this to me, they were sending me to a place which I hated since  I was young , I hated the people living there. I hated taking breath in there. How could they throw their daughter out of their house? How could they be so cruel? I got a B+ and that's a pretty good grade in my world.

Instead of being heartbroken, I was angry.

I went school with my ray bans because my eyes were puffy met Tobin in the parking lot.

"Hey gal wassup?" he said.

"Nothing " I said.

"What happened to you last night" he asked.

"Nothing "

"Don't lie to me Steve" he said flatly.

I told him what happened last night telling him every single detail.

I went to my English class, Tobin sat beside me.

Mr. Stacks was pretty excited today since he was supposed to give us the big news..

"Students, like always our school has done an excellent job by sending all the students of high school to London. I will be giving you some forms which are supposed to be signed by your parents. Bring them tomorrow. All the students which will have signed forms will be leaving on Friday morning 4;00 am." Mr. Stacks said..

This formed an excellent idea in my mind. I looked at Tobin. He looked at me and understood what I was planning. A guy distributed us the forms. I took mine and started grinning at it.

I called Dash and told him about my plan and the entire scenario. He agreed with my plan and told me that I should go with it.

I scribbled my father's sign on the form. And slept.
