------------------------------------------< {Chapter 2: Repercussion (Part 1)} >------------------------------------------
Even though I know that I should get some sleep but I just couldn’t I mean who could sleep after finding out that she’s adopted? Turning about the whole night being unable to sleep, lots of question starts popping up and filling my head. But soon dawn arrived. I had practically to drag my body up and out of bed to the washroom. I stared into the mirror to find myself in an extremely horrible state but since I didn’t even get a wink of sleep last night It’s understandable but I honestly didn’t thought that it would be this bad. Dark eye circles, puffy eyes, pale skin, frizzy hair and I looked like a aged at least a few years but I couldn’t care less since due to my looks I had always been bullied by the girls around me since I had a pair of bright blue eyes that looks like a doll especially with my long lashes, a small heart shaped face, long straight blond hair, a small nose with a nice tip to it and nicely shaped lips with a natural rosy red color to it. I guess you could say that’s the face that all girls would be jealous of even without me adding that I have a slim figure with super long legs that makes me the tallest in my class every year, that sometimes I wish I could stop getting taller. So at the start of high school, I decide to go for the nerd look so that I won't attract any unwanted attention from the girls.
Soon mum (Alyssa Steward) came knocking on the door at 9.a.m. following her usual routine. She is a part-time housewife co. romance novel writer. “ Elena sweetie, you awake?” “Yea I’m up mum.” “Oh god! Honey what happen to your face? It’s looks bad didn’t you sleep well last night?” Last night? I don’t even want to think about it just thinking about it makes all the question start popping up again. “Yea, but it’s nothing bad don’t worry.” “Okay honey if you say so but if your not feeling well” I cut her off before she could continue. “ I know mum don’t worry I’m fine. Why not you, go and prepared your specialty breakfast for me. I’ll be down in 20.” Giving her a smile that she could never resist she left the room and headed down to the kitchen. After much thinking last night I sort of figure out some of the things, that’s probably why I could face my mum normally without bursting into tears.
I headed down for breakfast and I could hear my mum from the stairs. She was in her apron with her hair tied up in a pony-tail, I had always love the look of her in the kitchen cooking since young even though I had no idea why. “Elena! Happy 16 Birthday! You’re up early.” That’s without a doubt my dad (Liam Tyler) he’s very sweet he even took leave just to celebrate my birthday with me even though he’s a busy businessman. Wait talking about birthday is today even my real birthday? Urgh! I don’t even want to think about but It’s just a date, I tried to mentally convince myself not to think too much. “ Morning dad!” I went over and give him a smooch on his face, “How am I early? I’m always up at this time!” “Breakfast ready!” My mum shouted over the house and soon breakfast was served. “Mm… Your cooking’s delicious! You should open a café mum! I bet it will be famous!” “ Oh! You’ve always had a sweet mouth but unfortunately I’m the Tyler family’s one and only personal chef.” She said it with a cheeky look on her face. My dad started laughing and said, “It’s one of my accomplishment to have marry such a beautiful wife with such exceptional cooking skills.” We all started laugh altogether. We’re a tight knit family with exceptionally good kinship.
The doorbell rang and I went to check out who was it and turns out it was Leah. I looked at her in confusion as to why she was here. She seemed to understand and she said, “ Elena, We’re supposed to go to school to hand in Mr. Williams project. “ “Oh! I had totally forgotten about that.” I hesitated and my dad smiled and said, “ It’s alright sweetie, the dinner starts at 8 so just be back by 7.” ‘Okay! Give me 10 minutes. I’ll have to save the project in my thumbdrive and have a change of clothes. You wanna come in?” “Ofcourse! You don’t expect moi to stand outside right?” Leah laughed with a grin on her face, then softly whisper in my ear asking if I’m okay but I just replied it with a smile but I bet it looked fake to her because she can read me as if I’m a paper “Make yourself at home I’ll be down soon.”
I went up my room, grab my thumbdrive and saved the project. I opened my closet and took out a long knee length skirt that looked like something my grandmother would have worn, a simple tank top and a sweater. I bet I'm the only girl in the whole school that wears something like this, even Leah had one of those "talks" with me that this is "sophmore year" and that I should have fun but no thanks I hate attentions. I looked into the mirror and tied my hair in braids, pulled out my second drawer and took out the pair of geeky looking specs that I never needed and put it on. It’s funny though, my parents had never asks me why I needed them. Well, I guess that they probably know that I was being bullied.
When I went down, Leah was already making herself at home talking happily with my parents, I just hope that she doesn’t say anything related to what I told her last night. “Leah I’m ready let’s go. Oh, mum and dad I’ll be back real soon alright. Bye!” “Bye sweetie!”
