The Billionaire's Lost Lady

Chapter 2: Interaction

Selene

I dragged my feet across the school grounds to the main doors. I was way too tired. My body was slowly losing weight and I was getting weak. This wasn't right but, it was the way it was going to be.

I was panting and sweating by the time I sat in my seat in my math class. Mr. Tobias looked at me with concern and disbelief but then started the lecture. I was late. My phone buzzed as soon as I started writing and it was a text from mom.

Mom:
Doctor Marco will see you today at five.

I rolled my eyes and fell back in my seat. I knew, my parents were giving me all their time, but it was getting frustrating to see them shift their schedules, and move daily appointments for me.

I felt horrible and to be honest, just wanted to go easy.

"Hey, you okay?" My classmate, Brody whispered from beside me. I nodded and he gave me a pursed smile.

The class was boring and quiet. I kept my focus on my book but every now and then, my mind kept on lurking around the thoughts of my parents losing their minds.

When the bell rang, I collected my stuff and headed off to the front of the class. Mr. Tobias sat quietly and smiled at me as I approached him. I fixed my Batman baseball jacket.

"Dig your jacket by the way." Mr. Tobias uttered as he finished writing something on a paper.

"Thanks." I chuckled and laid my head on my own shoulder, slightly.

"Selene?" He called as the rest of the next class started walking in.

"Yeah?" I mumbled looking back up at him.

"You better not try and convince your parents off this appointment today, alright?" he uttered and I groaned.

"Why do you guys keep tabs on each other?" I grunted and he chuckled.

"Because you're just unpredictable my friend."

"I'll take that as a compliment." I chuckled at him and he laughed.

"It wasn't one, Arly." He uttered shaking his head.

"I still take it!" I called back as I exited out the door.

Math class ended quick as it was always the time I loved in the entire week. Just peace and a good teacher, Mr. Tobias.

I dreaded the next class. Mr. Lancaster's. And, there were honestly way too many reasons contributing to the factor of 'why'.

I took a deep breath before entering his class room. Without looking up or sideways, I made my way over to the seat. My breath was lodged in my throat and my body clenched in itself.

"Selene?" Jaimi, the girl who sat right ahead of me, called as I took my seat.

"Huh?" I looked up at her.

"You're sweating, again." She stated with concern. She didn't know about my condition. Not many people did, to be honest. Only Sean, Tane, dad, mom, my brother and sister, Mr. Lancaster and Mr. Tobias knew.

"Uh, uh-yeah, it's really hot." I wiped my forehead to present my words.

"Then don't wear that thick sweater." She shrugged to which, I frowned. I started wearing, sort of, oversized, full sleaved clothes. It was to give myself a little bit of a poof, in case people thought I was too unhealthily slim. It would work as a thought that I was looking slimmer due to the clothes and not my decrease in health.

"I'm sort of sick, you know flu and stuff, so that's why." I tried to reason and she nodded before turning back around. I released my breath and took out my notebook from my bag.
