With the Gang Leader

Chapter 18

18. Her room isn't empty.

It was nearly seven in the evening when Rayne rang the door bell. She returned home from the Book Fair, which in simple words, went awesome .

She was amused by books and enjoyed every single second of the occasion.

Suddenly, the door opened to reveal a lazy looking Alec.

Rayne fumed her eyes with happiness and tried to push past him but he step against her, causing her to bump in his chest .

She looked up, slightly confused only to meet his averted gaze.

"Where were you? ", he asked.

"Book fair."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"You were busy.", she answered oddly .

"Whatever. Next time ask me first.", he stressed on the word 'me'.

She just simply nodded and pushed past him to her temporary room.

The music festival was just this Friday.

Rayne was tired and she fell fast asleep as soon as she laid on her bed.

Hours bickered down and there was a faint knock on Rayne's door. It disturbed her sleep.

She opened the door to reveal a angry looking Chasity.

"Yes?", Rayne asked .

"What the hell is your problem?", Chasity snickered.

"What?", Rayne was utterly confused to what her step sister was stating.

"Don't pretend like you don't know anything. "

" I don't know what are you talking about? "

"I saw that stupid cactus you gifted to Alec. Who do you think you are? He is my boyfriend and not too late we'll be married. Why did you gift him that? Don't you know that he is mine. Stop taking him away from me!", Chasity yelled.

"Sorry Chasity but that wasn't my intention."

"Then what was? Don't try to play dumb with me. "

"I am not playing dumb with you."

"Shut up and listen here carefully brat! You will not talk to Alec ever again, you get it? I should not see you with him or else ...", Chasity looked around the room, " ...I will break that guitar of yours."

"My mother gifted it to me. You can't-"

"Don't tell me what to do!Your mother is past. No wonder why Dad married my mom."

And then, Chasity turned her heels and stormed away.

Rayne was highly in poignancy. She didn't know what to do anymore. At any cost, she would not let Chasity break her guitar. It was the only thing that reminded her of her mother .

I will not talk to Alec. She decided .

But what if he comes and talks to me? The only thing I can do is be out of the house for almost the whole day. I will come late at night. Moreover, its only till Friday until the music festival finishes, then I will leave Milauje forever . She thought.

She got ready in five minutes and hanged the guitar on her shoulders. She knew that it was nearly dinner time and most probably they have to do it together. Therefore, it was best to go outside .

She quietly yet quickly minded her steps downstairs to leave.

But as she was going to open the door a voice slumbered in," Where are you going?"
