I picked up my purse and placed my phone in it. I was wearing a peach shorts and a white big tee with fluffy slippers.
My mum had just called that she was almost home so I should meet her outside. We were going to see the dentist.
I was a bit hungry but I had been told not to eat anything that evening. My mom's car light could be seen through the design made in the main gate.
I opened the gate and went outside to sit it the car. The AC in the car was on. I rubbed by feet on the fluffy slippers as we drove.
"I'm starving." I said to my mum.
"Don't worry, I just don't want us to go and the doctor would tell us you shouldn't have ate."she said.
"You're not even a doctor, what if maybe, I should have eaten." I said.
She rolled her eyes.
The procedure wasn't a long one, it lasted for about twenty five minutes.
The dentist was really friendly. Just that I couldn't eat too hot or cold and acidic foods in the next 24 hours.
I was going to die.
I even asked my mum if I could get a tooth gem and she gave me the death stare.
The time was 6:35 when we got home. Dave was probably being wasted at Camille's party.
Even if I go, I wouldn't be able to eat anything.
Why I'm I thinking about food so much.
I retreated to me bedroom. Chase was in Ralph's room and they were playing video games.
"Libra, come help me with this." Janiece said from the Kitchen. The kitchen door was ajar so she saw me ascending the stairs.
Didn't she see I just got home from the hospital.
" What now?.I asked.
" Go set up the table."
She said stirring her witches brew which she called dinner.
Janiece was our mum's youngest sister who came to live with us from Chicago with us as our caretaker.
She was a pain in my butt. She maltreated by brothers and i at any least chance.
My mom used to say way back in school she was always involved in fights with boys and never lost.
I set up the table and everyone came for dinner afterwards. I went to my room. I checked the stories of my classmates.
Damn I really missed a lot. Camille's birthday theme was out of this world. And the fact that her dad had gifted her another Bugatti as if she didn't get one last year was mind blowing.
I saw Dave in one of the photos he posted of her and the class.
Don't worry Libra, there'll always be a next time. But who am I kidding, we were graduating this year and Camille might even fly out of the country and never come back.
I continued reading my book.
In school, all everyone spoke of was Camille's birthday, Camille's car every sentence had Camille in it .
The fact that I didn't go because of that bitch London was sickening.
" Libra! "I turned. It was CAMILLE.
" Hey Camille. Erm.. happy belated birthday." I managed to say. Camille had a way of affecting everyone with her presence.
" Why weren't you at my party. I said the whole class was invited." She asked.
" I'm so sorry. I really wanted to make it but I had an appointment with the dentist." I said.
" God I completely forgot about your broken tooth. We'll have this.
I'm giving the whole class a thank you gift. Even though you couldn't make it I don't see why you should be exempted." She said hand me a medium size gift box with her name written in cursive on it.
There were two colours with her friends who were behind her. Blue and pink. I'm sure the blue was for the guys and the pink for the girls.
" Thanks Camille I'm pretty sure this would make my day."
" Never mind. " she said and walked away.
At least this gift calmed my nerves a bit. I placed it in my bag .
" I see the tooth fairy gave you a visit." Dave teased as we sat in the cafeteria eating our noodles.
I rolled my eyes. " You making it sound like I lost my whole front teeth."
"I saw you had a lot of fun at the party last Saturday."
" Not really". He said a bit sad.
" what's up . Lover boy chickened out and couldn't make a move on his girl?" I asked slightly punching him in the shoulder.
He sighed. " Camille already has a boyfriend."
" Who? How come we don't know him?!" I asked.
" He's not from our school Lib. He flew all the way from Dubai to come to her party." He explained.
" Sorry, I'm sure you'll get your chance next time."I reassured.
He shook his head." I've been a fool Lib. I don't even know why I kept thoughts of us in my head in the first place. Camille and I are from different worlds. She wouldn't settle for someone like me."
" Don't say that Dave. What do you mean someone like you." I said." Camille isn't like most rich girls." I said quoting with my fingers.
" it's okay let keep eating I'm fine." He said.
" Are.. you sure?" I asked.
"Yeah" He said.
We continued with our food.
"You should have seen them Lib. Dancing, kissing while cutting her birthday cake and I had to pretend as if I was happy." He whined while leaning on my side.
I laughed.
" You're being a girl right now Dave." I said.
At home, I took my shower and wore just my panty and a tube. It was a bit warm these days. I sat on my bed and did my assignments.
My head was killing me.
My parents weren't home yet. I was solving some math problems. I reached into my school bag to get my calculator and saw the gift Camille gave me earlier.
I completely forgot about it due to Dave's shenanigans. I opened it .
The were pink paper shavings in it. I took them out to reveal a butterfly shaped diary and a matching pen with a butterfly at the top. Gosh this was so cute.
There was also lip gloss ,lip scrub and press on nails in the set. So thoughtful of Camille. I kept everything on the nightstand and continued with my work.
