She spent the entire Saturday in her room. She felt physically tired after the argument with her mother and was relieved that when she woke on Sunday and ventured into the hall there was no sign of Margaret.
The entire house was clean dishes packed away in the cabinets and no sign that she had even been there. It was her habit to disappear and pop up again every month or two. Funny she had claimed this house as hers but was rarely ever there.
The first thing she did was check the fridge for something to eat. After an entire day without food she was famished. Making herself a big breakfast of eggs, bacon, plantain and sausages with pancakes she again retired to her room where she spent the entire day texting Shanique and Kayliah. She didn't mention the fight to Shanique and felt guilty but thought it wasn't the right time to mention it. It was probably best to tell her in person starting from the beginning of hers and Kayliah's relationship.
When she told Kayliah about the fight she was extremely upset and offered to spend the day with Chanel but she refused. Her face was discolored a blueish purple and swollen on the left side from the slap Margaret had given her. She knew Kayliah, who was overprotective of her would be angry and did not want to upset her further. If Kayliah was annoyed she refused to see her she would be pissed to know the extent of the argument.
Instead she changed the subject and instead they agreed to meet after her Matrix Algebra class the next day which was when her lunch time was slotted.
By late Sunday evening after she had prepared dinner for herself and freshened up she felt revived and the swelling had gone down significantly thanks to the ice pack she had tied to it. The blueish purple handprint had also faded to a dark spot just below her eyes. She didn't normally wear makeup to school, preferring to reserve it for when she had dates but a little concealer would do the trick to hide the mark. She hoped no one would notice the difference but just in case she planned to think up one when she woke. Her final text for the night was a broadcast to both Kayliah and Shanique saying "Good night love 😚".
