5. Something is wrong😦😥

Now let's get started.

*****
My driver dropped me just in front of my school. Maryland College is really a big school, one of the most popular in the country. I step out of the car gently carrying my school bag which is loosely hung on my back. All eyes where on me probably because I applied a little make up today. I'm really not a fan of make up but I guess I was just in the mood for it today. I walked majestically to my class with most of the guys turning to catch a glimpse of me. I wasn't wearing anything new just my normal uniform which comprised of a blue printed skirt which was just slightly above my knee and a white shirt together with a cardigan. My school is always strict on issues concerning the dress code. My hair is packed up in a ponytail, sometimes I wished it was longer than this, I would flip it at intervals. Well that's where wigs come in, I've got a lot of 'em.

"Hailey!" A brunette girl called and I waved. I'm very social even though some think I'm proud, I just love to look good besides I'm very popular. I just smile, wave and wink at some. I got to my locker and was about hanging my school bag when a pair of hands covered my eyes.

"Oh come on Rose, you'll ruin my makeup" I complained.

" Hi come you know it's me? " she asked in her British accent as she stared at me. I can always tell it's her with those soft pair of hands.

" You look hot "she complemented.

" It's just a uniform " I say dryly.

" You sure know how to rock a uniform with those killer curves "she added and I blushed.

" Thanks " I reply sincerely. The bell rang for the first period, I took out my notebook and pen.

" See you in maths class " i say and ran off. I literally hated being late to a class.

*****
During lunch hour I sat on my bench which was crowded as usual, all wanted to hang out with me probably because they all knew how rich my dad is. Sometimes I just feel like I don't have any real friends and it hurts...alot. if I fortunately have the opportunity to change my location, I'll never tell anyone how rich I am.

*****Evelyn's POV*****

" Hailey I'm talking to you" I screamed at her but she continued working on her phone.

"You shouldn't return late without leaving a text, we were all worried" I added.

"Does it seem like I care?" She asked rudely.

"Y'know what? You're grounded for a week. Don't act like a bitch" I said angrily but to my surprise she broke into a long annoying laugh.

"Really? You're not my mum, this implies you have no right to tell me what to do. You're not my mum and you'll never be" she snapped before dragging herself upstairs. I just sat down on the couch in tears. Thompson went out this evening and is yet to return. Hailey is just being difficult.

"You're not mum and you'll never be" does words kept replaying in my head. My husband returned surprised to see me in tears.

"Baby what's up with you, why are you like this?" I rolled my eyes at him before climbing upstairs to my room. I heard his heavy footsteps follow my as I collapsed on the bed still crying.

"What happened, I promise to deal with whoever did this to you" he says trying to cuddle me but I pushed him away.

"When will all these end? When will Hailey treat me like human? I've been super nice to her but all she does is to torture me emotionally. Did I do wrong by getting married to you? Why not tell her the truth Thompson? She needs to know the truth!" I cried.

*****Hailey's POV*****

I pressed my ear to the door, I'm aware dad is back and I want to know what she'll tell him but I was shocked at her tears. They looked genuine. I felt the hurt in her voice.

"Why not tell her the truth Thompson. She needs to know the truth!" She said in tears. What truth? Is there anything they are hiding from me? I leaned closer.

"I can't tell her such a thing about her mum" I could hear dad say.

" Why is that so Mr Thompson? " she asked.

" She'll grow hatred for her mum " he told her. What the hell did my mom do?

" So I deserve to be hated right? "She cried the more and I felt hurt. She's crying because of me.

"Evelyn I'll talk to Hailey, she's still a child" he consoled her.

"She's old enough to make certain decisions" she shouted at him.
"Just this evening she told me that I'm not her mum and will never be! She meant every bit of it Thompson! Do you know how that hurts?" She asked admist tears.

Oh Hailey what have you done! I chastised myself. I didn't want to listen to any other discussion, I just walked to my room reminiscing on all that happened. Is Evelyn really the cause of everything, the separation?

*****Evelyn's POV*****

I went downstairs. I'm always prepared for Hailey's troubles. Today is Saturday and she must have been on her way to the mall or boutique. I made for the kitchen but to my greatest surprise I saw her in her pyjamas putting up something for breakfast.

"Hey!" She called with a smile. Really doubt if I'm safe, she's obviously up to some mischief. I leaned on the counter watching her every move

"What are you doing?" I was forced to ask.

"Making scrambled eggs and toast bread for breakfast" she replied with a smile. Why all these smiles?

"Can I help?"

"Nope" she replied popping the 'p'
"I'm in charge today" she said with a chuckle.

Why is she suddenly being nice? She's never spoken so friendly to me before.

****. .****
After the meal which was sumptuous of course, she kept telling jokes which I and her father laughed at. I was still prepared for the worst, I mean she couldn't just change.
Thompson's phone rang and he picked the call.

"What?" He exclaimed as he sprang to his feet pacing round the room.

"Dad is everything alright?"

"Yeah, Thompson is everything okay?"I added.

"All is not fine. We need to leave think place right now "
