The Unexpected

TWENTY EIGHT

I take a hit of my cigaret and look at Noah.

This is kind of our little thing now, smoking together. But this time under different circumstances.

''It's been a week.''

''I'm not apologizing to her.'' I groan and ash my cigaret.

It's been a week since me and Damien made up and a week since Oli and Noah had a huge fight, they haven't talked since and Oli is just locked in her room.

''Cmon, why are you both stubborn little shits all off a sudden? The parenting ball is tonight.'' ''So? Your mom isn't coming, my dad isn't coming and liv and Charli's mom is also not coming either.''

''That's not the point, Oli arranged this.''

''Adds to the fact that it doesn't matter.'' I look up and raise my eyebrow. ''Bullshit, if Olivia got herself in trouble you'd be the first one to fight her battle for her.'' Noah rolls his eyes and ashes his cigaret.

''Joy, can I ask a question?'' Noah looks at me and I nod.

''Is it true about Liv's dad? that a family member killed him?'' I sigh. Yes, but not on purpose. The king of the fire kingdom, the father of Oli and Charli is in fact dead.

''I'm only going to tell you this cause I know Oli doesn't like talking about it.'' He turns to me ready to listen.

''Charli and their father were playing with potions, unfortunately one of those potions went terribly wrong and it costed their fathers life. That's why Oli is her mom's favorite, she blames Char for what happened.'' I look back at Noah.

''And Oli being her mom's favorite doesn't really work In her favor.''

Noah raises her eyebrow. ''What do you mean?''

''Why else do you think Oli's relation with food is so unhealthy? Her mom always used to point out her eating habits or her weight.''

Noah doesn't comment, he is rather more speechless than ever. Probably cause he didn't expect that.

''If she could change from what kingdom she was trust me Noah, she would in a heartbeat.''

I stand up and grab my bag pack.

I pet Noah on the back and leave him to think. I hope he can work it out with Oli.

----------------------------------------

Getting ready for the parenting ball is actually so useless. My mom isn't coming but for students it's mandatory to be there.

I put on my dress. It's all black and chique themed that goes till my knees.

Putting some curls in my hair I do a half up half down. I grab my shoes which I decided on black sneaker-heels. Looking at my self in the mirror, I decide to throw on some silver jewelry to match my outfit. a necklace, some rings and bracelets.

Looking at the whole look satisfied when someone knocks on my dorm room.

''Cmon in'' I say as i fix my up the last touches to my outfit.

The door opens and Damien walks in. He's wearing a full on black suit with a black knight corset. His hair gelled in a middle part and a few silver rings.

''Wow, you look dashing'' I said and put my hands around his neck. He smiles widely and kisses my cheeck.

''And you look breathtaking.'' He takes my hand from his neck and kisses it.

''M'lady'' I giggle. ''Did you actually just quote cat nior?'' He laughs. ''Maybe, is that cheating?'' ''I'll let it slide for now''. He laughs again.
