How can I pretend it's not her?
To be sincere she's the only girl that has gotten my attention after my break up with Avalon and that's why I act so mean to her... Maybe it will prevent me from developing feelings for her to.

Now guys go get some chilled drink and let's begin!
****Hailey's POV****
I heard a knock on the door, hmph! So Evelyn finally came to give me a piece of her mind, I chuckled silently. "Hails!" Dad called. Oops. "Come in the door's not locked!" I half screamed.
He came in and leaned to on the door frame as if assessing my room. I took a very good look at my dad. He's dark skinned, tall , huge with muscles and nice abs. Well that's because he never misses gym, probably cause we have a small sports room downstairs. I've learnt to exercise with him too.
He had locks, long locks on his hair. Such a handsome young man, maybe that's why I'm pretty.

That's Hailey's dad above. He's worth drooling over right.
He walked up to me bending low to meet my height, I'm not short note that. I'm just sitting on my bed that's why he has to squat a little.
"What was that drama about?" He asked with a frown.
"What drama dad?" I asked feigning ignorance.
"I'm not joking Hailey" he said calling my name in full. He only does that when he's damn serious.
"I don't like her" I blurted. He let out a sigh and sat on the bed pulling me into his chest.
"Why Hails? She's nice and...."
"Daddy she's only pretending" I cut in.
"But if you love me you should love her"
" I love you dad but I can't bear the pain that she's mum's replacement.... why dad?"
"I've told you not to mention your mom again"
"Dad! What the hell did she do?" I screamed.
"Hailey!" He called in anger and I froze. How could he be so angry at mum? Evelyn I hate you. I looked up at my dad who's face was facing the window with clenched jaws.
" I'm so sorry dad " I apologize, not because it's from my heart though. I just hate upsetting my dad.
" Hails, don't ever bring this up again" he said with a note of finality. Well I'm sure gonna get answers to my questions even if it's not now.
"Yes dad, I promise" I said with a small smile.
"Come here" he said as he pulled me into a hug ruffling my hair.
"Dad your ruining my hair!" I complain.
"You wanna go get ice cream?" He asked but I frowned, he puzzled. Fine I love ice cream but I don't think I'm in the mood for it now.
"I'm tired of Ice cream dad!"
"What do you want then?" Hey asked and I smile.
"Dad, I've never been to Hawaii, I heard it's pretty" I said to him giving him my most irresistible puppy eyes. I actually want to visit Hawaii because Lucille claims to have been there. She flaunts her pictures on IG and it's not now getting very annoying.
She obviously wants to compete with me, well I'm damn ready. Dad sat down with his fingers on his temple as if thinking about it. I know he can never say no to me. I'm really a spoilt brat if I should be honest. "Daddy please...."
"Alright fine... I'll make out time for that.
" Thanks dad ... you're the best " I said grinning. I gave him a tight hug.
"At least Lucille will know I'm not her class" I mutter. OMG seems dad heard me cause he pulled away and raised his eye brow.
"So all of this is 'cause of someone?" He asked.
"Lucille, dad." I fake a smile to calm him down.
"Why all these?"
"She's always competing with me both academically and all, always bragging and I hate her for that. I really wanna show her that she's far below my level. " I said proudly.
" I'm not in support of that. That's unhealthy competition y'know."
"We're still on the trip to Hawaii right? " he only faked hurt but nodded at me after I flashed him my magic smile. He looked at the portrait on my reading table.
"Is that new?" He asked.
"Yup! Completed it three days ago" I answer proudly.
"It's awesome, you should consider being an international artist y'know. I've got the connection."
"I wanna be a pharmacist dad"
"I'm afraid that makes no sense to me. You're into arts so much, you draw, sing, dance, write, including sports what else are you looking for?"
"Those are my hobbies, science is my passion, my soul mate" I replied with a smile.
"Anyways I'm solidly behind you"
"Thanks" just then my phone beeped. It was my neighbour, we've been really close these days. I blushed at his sweet words. My dad cleared his throat. Guess there's no need telling lies.
"Who's he?"
"Albert"I said changing my position and glaring at the tiled floor. He has warned me several times about him.
"You guys are dating?"
"Not really... but dad I really like him and he likes me too"
"Hails you're not gonna date a guy four years older than you. You're fifteen for crying out loud '
" Soon to be sixteen dad... I'm not a kid "
" I've said my mind and it's final"
" Dad... " I cried.
"Go for Albert, Hawaii trip cancelled. He said and left the room.
