Perfect (On Hold)

Chp 34 - D-Day

Ember's pov:

Professor Walter was my dad...mmm he is my dad. And Alice is my sister. Then what about my family who gave me this life? was I adopted? How does Prof. Walter know that I am his daughter? This truth is hard to digest .

Suddenly the classroom door opens and the peon calls out my name "Ember!"

"Yes" I answer standing up from my seat

" You have a call from your parents please come to the office."

I switched of my phone cause I wasn't in a mood to talk to my parents so now they called the office. What should I ask them? Who are my real parents? There are so many questions in my mind ouch! my head is starting to hurt.

I reach the head office. I get goose bumps all around me  with this weird feeling to talk them, the people whom I thought we're my parents.

" Hello," I say stuttering

"Ember darling why weren't you lifting your phone where you lost in your thoughts again? Gosh, this girl... makes me panic over and over again . " Mother on the other side of the phone speaks in a different tone when she gets mad at me.

"Are you my mother?" I ask

"What ?" There is silence for almost a minute.
"Ember what are you talking abou"
"Are you mother ?"
I scream loudly on the phone that the people around in the office glance at me.
" Ember calm down. What in heavens made you think that way?! Of course, I am your mother"

" Then what happened to my childhood pictures?! How come it's only my childhood pictures that got burnt something that's so precious for a parent. My first moments how could you be careless with it?" "Ember how could you" Mother starts stuttering she is unable to answer me so that means what  Prof. Walter said was true. The family in whom I trusted the most are not my real parents this made me feel like my world went upside down. I cut the call and left. I didn't give a ear to the peon when he tried calling me back.
      I began to stroll across the corridor and classrooms lost in my thoughts.

I enter the classroom surrounded by the dark clouds above my head. I see Prof. Walter in the class. Oh no is he going to tell the class that I am his daughter and that I and Alice are twins??

Prof looks at me and comes forward " Class !" Oh no ! Don't say it!
" Ember !" Don't!
" Is going to be in charge of the healthcare team" He finally says something that I did not expect. Why didn't he reveal that I am his daughter? I go in front of the class and smile as they look at me in awe.

     During the class as the prof. Walter teaches I get distracted by all the thoughts in my mind the healthcare camp, my parents and Prof. Walter. Did he keep in charge because I was his daughter. Even Alice is but she wasn't interested in this as much as I was.

At the end of the class, everyone leaves. I try to hide my face because I did not listen to the class.

"Ember" he calls my name and all the students in my class move out and I come out of my hiding.
"The reason I did not tell anyone that you're my daughter is because maybe I think it's better if you tell and I think you need some time to accept the truth."

" Yes, Prof." I say putting my head down

"Stop calling me Prof. I am your father Ember." When he says that I Quickly look at him.

"Yes, Prof. "

Prof. Walter looks at me.  Ahh he wants me to call him dad?! Things are getting too complicated

"DaaAa!!"

"Yes, Ember"

"I need to go to the restroom Prof., " I say it in a hush and storm out of the classroom.
