the powers of a kiss

Ria's pov

Things couldn't be better,my father is now at home with us,it feels normal and fun to have him in the house with I ,tori and my mum(Tia),I was dating the hottest nerd in school,and to top it off I was in love with him.

Now the only glitch i could think about was my studies,harry said if I had any problems or issues with my books,I should bring it up to him,but seriously who wants to be look dumb in front of their boyfriend. So its up to me and my books,my dad promised a new car of I could pull my grade from an average,  the car I was driving now,not to whine is not just it,its an old model maybe 2013,and its my sister's former car, why does she get to have a new one and I don't.

With all this thoughts in my mind ,I sat down and opened my notes,trying to figure out the meaning of all the symbols that I wrote on it. It wasn't fair I didn't have an  high IQ, tori for all her looks is extremely brilliant, she was the valedictorian for her set,tyra is on scholarship which equates to brains and harry was,let's not talk about harry,why don't I have dumb friends at least it would make me seem smart being surrounded by such people.

"Hey pumpkin what are you doing"my dad said as he entered my room.
Running my hands through my hair ,I replied" trying to understand what's on this paper"
"Am sure that translates to,you are trying to read" he said as he sat down on my bed.
"Your skills of deduction are astute"I said scathingly
" wow,what's with the attitude,young lady.
"Am sorry dad,I just don't understand how you guys do it"
"Do what?"
"This," I replied pointing to my notes
"You know its not your fault" he said as he stroked my hair.
"You,tori even mum,which says a lot are all brainy"I whined
"Because we are good at figures and science doesn't mean we don't have problems with other things"
"Like what" turning to face him.
"I for one don't know how to take short hand"

"Dad that isn't a flaw" I replied hitting him.
"Okay if you say so,honey don't focus on what you can't do but on what you can do,just because you don't know the right end of a test tube doesn't  mean you are dumb"
"It doesn't" hey what,I am searching for compliments here.
"Sure,I don't know how to speak as many languages as you do"
"Well that is true,I speak French,Spanish,mandarin(picked that up on a brief stint in China) ,German,,fin--"my dad cuts my sentence short
"Woah honey that's a lot,am not sure I want to know the rest" I beamed up at him,it was nice talking to my father,when my infrequent bouts of depression comes,its nice to have someone to talk to.
"Thanks dad" I hugged him.
"For what pumpkin?"
"For understanding me,and just being here"
"You welcome ,and I enjoy being here too"

We talked till in the night,I did enjoy being daddy's little girl.

A WEEK LATER

I was through with tests,I was ecstatic, it was now time to get to business and plan how to sway the votes in my favor, I really haven't had any run ins with Brianna for quite some while,and I am quite itching to kick her butt,.all this thoughts ran through my mind as I stacked my books  in my locker.
"Hey ria" tyra whispered in my ear.
"You know you can't spook me" for some while now ttrahas been trying to spook me,she just doesn't get it, that you can't get to me that way.
"Well I had to try" she replied with a shrug.
"Well good luck with that," I started to walk towards the school's garden ,news flash my school had gardens,I mean beautiful ones,well if you go to a school for the rich,it got to took well decadent.
"Where you going" tyra said while trailing behind me.
"The gardens,I have a free period"
"Why ?"
"If you really want to know, I want to work on some real catchy phrase for my slogan and work on my winners speech"
"You real funny" tyra said while laughing
"Why"looking confounded
" you haven't even started the competition first and you are already working on your winner's speech "
"Well I have to plan for the future and I have faith that I am going to win"
"Okay missus, who should be talking about faith among the bother both of us,but now isn't the time for such conversations, can I help?"
