INFLUENCED

CHAPTER 2

Abigail's POV

Let's take it back to the very beginning. The honest truth is I've always been the odd one out...at school, home... and everywhere.

My fashion sense was a disaster, let's just say I did not care much about clothes.

I did not put on make-up...keeping it natural was my motto, the sad part is, no one ever approved how I looked, even my own my mother, she would always argue that I would look much better with make-up on...

I was told I'm displeasing to the eye, the mere fact that I was wearing glasses too gave them the sense that I was also a nerd.

I would rather go to the library than a loud party, because of that, they would label me 'boring'.

I remember I once had a crush on this guy named Jackson...he was really cute...his cute face and sexy accent always left me blushing like an idiot. I used to follow him everywhere to make him notice me...

Guess what??? He noticed me as a 'freak' that ate away my confidence. From that day, I decided to stay away from boys to avoid catching feelings.

Being the last virgin standing in class was not dignity, it was lack of opportunities, and they saw me as that stupid girl with lousy values.

I would always laugh at serious moments...that made people think I'm weird.

To wrap it all up...they thought I was not normal and for that I was rejected. I would be lying if I said I got used to the ill treatment I was served with...but that's just how I am...I told myself I wasn't going to change for anybody.

'Freak...' 'nerdy...' 'boring...','creepy...' all those labels raced in my mind until my dad decided to interrupt me...

''Abigail!'' my dad shouted my name with his harsh but charming voice.

I quickly came back to earth and stared at my small family as though I've just seen a ghost, words couldn't come out.

We were having supper at our dining table in the dining room...I was sited opposite my annoying brother who just happens to be the cutest creature on earth.

''are you okay baby?, you hardly touched your food'' my mom asked in a calm but worried voice.

I just glared at her, she was so beautiful, I wish I was just like her, maybe the world was going to accept me...

she was wearing a simple red dress with the appropriate necklace and earrings...

I stared at her and smiled, that moment I knew my dad had made a perfect decision in choosing her, she seemed to be perfect in all the ways...

WAIT...is my mom still waiting for a respond? Ooh God, I even forgot she asked me something.

But she can wait a bit. Is my mom the idea of 'normal' though, did I have to be like her in order to stop people from calling me names??

It seems I needed to hide my face with make-up and be society's idea of normal.

''Sweetie!'' a sweet voice interrupted my thoughts AGAIN.

''yes mom'' I responded in a low hesitating voice
''my girl, is something bothering you? Your dad has some important news to share with you guys'' said my mother with a bored expression.

I did not know what to expect but it sounded serious and serious talks always come with bad news...excuse me for thinking ahead but this...I don't think I wanna hear it.

''Abigail, you can't disrespect your father like that, let him talk'' my mom shouted...

WAIT!!! I said that out loud?? Aah DEAD!!

''Sorry'' I forced out an innocent voice.

My dad started his statement and I knew he was not going to finish any time soon, I gave him a bored glare and so did my brother

''Abigail my girl, your brother has won a scholarship to go study at the US while he persuade his soccer career. You know very well that your mother and I, work late at times, because we do not want you to feel lonely with your brother gone, we decided to enrol you at New Academy High school''

my eyes widened, you would swear they were going to pop out.

"As in like a boarding school?'' I asked

''yes darling'' my mom responding. Darling my foot...I frowned, then laughed for a second ''tell me you kidding.''

''It's one of the best and coolest schools idiot, so stop being dramatic' 'exclaimed my brother with an annoyed expression

I couldn't believe my ears, this family was unbelievable. I hated school already and now they wanna make me live there???

Unbelievable! I looked at my mom with tears on the edge of my eyes, I was in pain...I was waiting for her to at least say something. I felt I'm being abandoned.

I knew society does not acknowledge my existence...but little did I know that my own family did not too. That knowledge broke me.

''You wanna get rid of me? It's okay'' I said in a sad tone while tears where running down my cheeks.

I quickly wiped away the tears, stood up and went straight to my bedroom. Trust me when I say, I cried myself to sleep.

Life is full of surprise....AGREED!
