My twisted fantasy life

chapter two

Once we got to our lockers we put our lunch bags away to take home after school. The rest of the day went pretty normally at least to me (is it bad that glares and whispers are my normal?). We only had 3 classes left until we left school for the day.

Even though we had either one or two of the five in all my classes I managed to avoid them the rest of the day. Once we got through with the school day we grabbed the books we needed and picked Cleo up and walked home, since Hazel was hanging out today we just headed straight to my house.

As we walked in I could hear my grandma walking around in the kitchen. We walked in and saw grandma with pots set up on the stove ready for when she would start dinner. We kicked our shoes off by the door and I noticed grandma had dirt on her feet, which was pretty normal since me and grandma don't really like to wear shoes if we don't have to or feel like it.

''Hey grandma, we are home. How'd your day go, stay out of trouble did you? Hazel do you want to stay for dinner?'' I ask both hazel and grandma at the same time, to hopefully buy me time before grandma finds out about today.

''Hi brat, I'm offended that you think I would get into trouble. After all i only finish it, I'll have you know!'' grandma says with a smile and then tries to look offended but her eyes sparkle with mischief giving her away. I love my grandma, I swear I get my trouble making from her. She is a fae - angel hybrid with a light tan and a little curvy, she seems tall (especially when mad or she wants to intimidate you) even though she is only 5 '7. She is however very scary if you get on her bad side, even though it's a bit hard to do for some people. She has shoulder length curly grey hair that is always in a bun (I swear she sleeps with it like that) with orange eyes and pointy ears. Her wings are an orange and purple and she is always working on her flowers and other plants.I just laugh and say '' but don't you have to start trouble to finish it, right?'' She looks at me with a smile and rolls her eyes. Hazel has just been watching us back and forth, with Cleo on her perch that's by the door we leave open for her. I hadn't even noticed her leave my shoulder until now.

''No, i can't stay for dinner tonight.'' Hazel says when we look at her.

''Well you are always welcome here you know. As for you Cassandra, my day was good. I did some work in my plants and got to enjoy the day. How was your day, did anything happen?'' grandma says to me and hazel.

We both answer at the same time but i say ''nothing happened.'' and hazel says ''something happened.'' Grandma looks at me and hazel and says ''ok hazel spill, since Cassandra won't'' while giving me a dirty look, i don't tell her because there's nothing she can do to help, so i don't want to worry her.

Hazel gives me a glare for saying ''nothing happened'' until I stick my tongue out at her and she just smirks at me. ''Well she came to the first class after a bump in with Evans and the other 4 boys, just to have Evans sit behind her and give her a note, that i didn't see before you ask what it said, the teacher then called her out for passing notes during class instead of paying attention and for bothering Evans.'' she explains, grandma looks at me and asks '' what did the note say and don't make me repeat myself.'' while giving me a look.

''The note said orphaned freak.'' I sigh as I answer because I don't like upsetting grandma. ''But don't worry about it, it was just words on a paper it didn't mean anything.'' i say quickly after even though i know how mad grandma gets at me being treated like that. She is the one who always cheers me up when i get home if Hazel hasn't.
