Love Or lust?

Chapter 13

His grey eyes are sharp on my face as he takes in my appearance, his mouth set in a hard way. Yeah,he hates me that much.

He huffs and starts with the taps on his phone, but not before I notice his eyes. The other times he had come close,i didn't really take notice of his eyes because he was being a dog. But i finally see them today. His eyes are the dullest smokey grey i have ever seen. So dark, that you would probably take it for black if you're not close enough. And they were slanted in a way that made his eyes look cat like. His cheekbones are sharp, and his eyebrows are bushy. He doesn't particularly have long eyelash,i think they are okay for a boy.

His upper lip is full and the lower one has a cupid's bow. Weird, aren't you supposed to have that in the upper lip?.

And then i turn to Karen, who by now is making small talks with Amelia. It's nice how he tries to be friendly. I smile.

He has full lips. His hair must be also because his hair is almost at his eye level, and his hair is a rich black. I envy his hair.

I unconsciously reach up to smoothen my hair, letting my fingers slide in the soft curls. At least,i had hair.

I wasn't particularly beautiful, at least that's what I am often told. Amelia has all the beauty in the family, with her long hair  that reaches almost to her waist, and her always perfect eyebrows, her lashes are really long and when she smiles, her dimpled cheeks shows.

I on the other hand is what you call plain. I have a hair that stops on my shoulders, a stupid brown at that. I am not exactly tall, but, I am not as short as Amelia. And my body proportions,well, are okay,i guess.I am the only one who has violet eyes in my family. Weird right? Yeah I think so too.

"Food's ready, younglings. Go get your plates and come get some" she says,whilst opening the mini refrigerator adorned with stickers.

Everybody stands simultaneously, well, except me, not like anybody notices. They are all so Focused on the plates they're taking.

I get up carefully and sidestep them, not wanting to get hit. The kitchen is crowded and I want out.
I grab a plate from a yellow basket that has the word'Plates' written on it. I scoff. Like it wasn't obvious.

Soon we are all eating and I notice that'dark eyes' is not in the kitchen. I still don't know his name.

When I finish,i go over to the sink to dispose of my plate. But on second thoughts i decide to help aunt Felicia, the boys are obviously not going to wash all this. There's a plate here already and I don't need anyone to tell me,i know it's Karen's.

I collect the plates and begin to wash,i can't find Amelia, maybe she's gone up the stairs.
And i finish soon enough, aunt Felicia says a loud thank you and hugs me. I walk out the kitchen and go to say' thank you' to Xavier's mom and their grandma.

She seemed surprised but then she smiles wildly and with a wave of her hand says" it's nothing honey" .
I walk up the stairs to my room, and it's empty. Where was Amelia then?

Maybe she's down the stairs with Karen,he's friendly after all.
I don't want to be downstairs, I really do not like being crowded,i like my space. I like being alone.

I check my phone for any messages. I have two from mum and three from a few of my classmates. I quickly reply and plug it in to charge.
I take one of my books from my back and begin reading it. It was getting boring here. One of the days my facade will blow up and they'll see am not that nice. Especially that dog.  I was asleep in seconds.
