Tell Me A Lie

Chapter 8

Hey guys,

Sorry for the long wait. I had a check of how UK works their schooling and I found out that my schooling system in this story is completely different. Like chocolate and curry!! So I’m just going to tell you guys that Zayn and Aaliyah are doing their final year of high school (Year 11). If I’m not correct then please correct me so I can fix my booboo!

Thanks Guys.

 Well, what are we waiting for.

Aaliyah’s POV 

Yes! Yes! It worked. It’s crimped!!

My hair is crimped!! 

I have tried so hard to get my hair like this. I looked in front of the mirror, examining every strand of hair. I sprayed my hair with hair spray making sure that these beautiful curls were durable. I got changed into black leggings, plain white tank top, checked shirt and paired it with my brown combat boots. I applied a light amount of make-up to cover up my sleepy eyes from Johnny’s birthday party, and like every morning I stood in front of the mirror, and made a face that indicates that something wasn’t right about my appearance. As usual, I wasn’t able to figure out what was wrong and so I just went with the flow.

Honk!! Honk!!

“Bye Mum!” I said as I kissed her.

“Aaliyah! Don’t make any plans tonight!” my mum called up the stairs.

“Why?”

She sighed.

“Do you not remember that your other 2 members of this family are coming home tonight.”

“Oh yeah!” I remembered as I slapped my forehead.

“Dad and Avan are coming home from Avan’s interview at the Tisch School of Arts in New York” I recounted to my mum.

“Yes! There better be no plans tonight because we have a lot of family catching up to do.” my mum complained.

“I’m sorry! I promise there is no plans tonight! I’m a free bird. No wait, I have English tuition tonight and I have Maths tutoring after that.” I admitted. Zayn and I decided that instead of giving him fees I would give him maths tutoring. Apparently he was bad at it. Today was our first lesson.

“Ask Zayn if you can have it straight after school. Dad and Avan are only coming at around 6pm.”

“Ok!”

“Quick! Go! You’ll be late!” Mum spoke.

I ran outside to find Jamie, Kat and Isha all waiting for me in Nathan’s car. Kat was singing really loudly to Stay by Rihanna while Isha, Nathan and Jamie covered their ears.

“Kat, shut up!” Jamie spoke over Kat’s booming voice.

“WHAT!!” she screamed back.

Isha pulled out Kat’s headphones. 

“She said shut up!” Isha re-stated.

“You guys are meanie heads. Can’t a girl have fun these days?” Kat spoke as her face started to sulk. 

Nathan who had noticed Kat’s face turned on the radio which coincidently had Stay playing.

“There, aren’t you a lucky girl.” He said as he smiled at Kat.
