A Stranger In My Home

Chapter 7

"you followed me? Are you really that low?"

"I didn't follow you. I was just... okay it has no meaning except that I was following you but I was curious to know why you won't be home" he says casually

"Oh really? I was curious" I mock him, it's my turn.

"Yeah and tell me what you would do if I ignored you, I told you once you're nothing and I'm really done with talking to you. See, it's the third day for me here and you're a total jerk to me with no reason. Silent treatment is the best thing so shut the fuck up" I scream "you act as if you didn't insult and humiliate me in front of everyone and the new here, you start following me. Who gave you the right are you insane?" I yell.

"You will never stop screaming and shouting" he groans.

"First, I don't scream Duke. Second, I shout for a reason I'm not mad like you" I snap.

I leave him and go to my room and slam the door behind me. This time I'm really so proud that I stand for myself and I left him. Tomorrow is Friday, two more days and it will be three weeks only left, maybe I can spend four days with Jake.

I really can't believe that he followed me. Why did he do it in the first place? What does he want from me? It's the third day and I got to know three different personalities of one person, the first one he's so mean, controller and a jerk, the second one he's so nice to me as he stood for me, offered me a ride everyday, made breakfast and brought lunch and the third one the silent and flirting Duke and god knows what I'll see again.

I grab my phone and call Zac. I told him about all what happened between me and Duke and about his past, I told him about Char, Rusty and Ian, my work and that I'll be there tomorrow afternoon and I'll be paid on each design I design and he told me about his girlfriend who was his crush and that he celebrates their first anniversary then we hang up.

I grab my headphones and begin to listen to music while I'm making the blouse I want to finish it as fast as possible.

.....

All Friday and Saturday morning passed without talking to Duke, on Friday I went to college and turn back home by myself then went to work and spend most of the night alone in the living room after shopping with Char and Lucie as I want some new clothes for my college, work and the party which Char invited me to on Saturday.

I brought a white dress which ends just before my knees, white heels, two pairs of tight jeans, three jackets, three blouses, long black skirt, four basic shirts with four different colors, grey top, brown wedge and a cover for my iPhone.

Duke brought a girl with him on Friday night but I decided to ignore that and not fight. Although it was so hard, I did it. Me and Will kept texting on Friday and we talk on the cell phone this morning for a while and decided that we will choose a day to hang out with each other.

Now me and Char at Jake's as Lucie invited us at dinner. So now they are working on my hair style and makeup.

"I'm done with your hair" Lucie sighs

"Give me five minutes and I'll be done with your makeup too" Char says while putting on my mascara

"I said guys I can do this by myself. I like doing these stuff by myself" I say

"Jesus, this is your first college party, you must be the best there" Lucie says and Char nods

Minutes later and I'm all done, I look at myself in the mirror. I barely know myself, I look much better than before, I'm totally different, to the better for sure. My dress perfectly shows my curves, my hair is straight but its ends are curled, my makeup is so simple but different, I mean I'm not like a barbie doll. Red lip gloss to fit perfectly with my white dress, black eyeliner, mascara, blusher and Lucie pricked my eyebrows. Despite that it hurts the most, I like it more now. I put on my heels and grab my purse. Honestly I put a flat shoes in my purse because god knows what will happen there.
