Elisa's POV
I groaned as my alarm clock starts talking and shaking me. I try to shut it but it was useless. Are you thinking that this girl is may be dreaming or she's cuckoo in head? Guess what its maybe true. But my alarm is not something that you can buy at any shop. Its my best friend i.e. my mother. "Eli come on get up its already 8 a.m." I cracked one eye to look at the clock on my bedside table which says its 7.15 a.m. My mother thinks I will still fall for this trick which she's playing since I started school. "Get up. You have school" She told me as she pulled my blanket away. "You don't say" I replied sitting up.Note the sarcasm. "Very funny. Go get ready and come downstairs in 15 minutes. You know you're father doesn't like being late." She warned me and left my room.I got up and went to bathroom.
That's the thing about my father,as he is a businessman he likes everything in his way as it is in his office. Anything out of order you will see hell.
After I got ready for school,I looked at myself in the mirror. My school has uniform which is red and white checkered skirt,white undershirt, red bowtie and a red blazer I pulled my hair in a ponytail and applied a little tinted ChapStick.I do not like coating my face with make up so much that I won't be able to recognize myself. So no thank you to make-up. So I only put on whatever necessary in my bag.Then I picked up my school bag and came downstairs just in time to see my mother setting the table."Good morning father." I greeted my father as I sat down. "Good morning" was my father's reply without even taking his eyes of his newspaper.'why do I even bother?'I thought. The answer is my mother. Because she doesn't like her only daughter to become a disrespectful person like any other normal 21st century teenager.
After a silent breakfast I left for school with my father. Even though my school is not far away, 15 minutes walking, my father still insisted on riding with him. Riding with my father is always fun. We barely say two words in that 5 minutes ride.I know fun right? Anyway as I was looking out the window,my father spoke up,"Do you have any extra classes today at school?" His sudden voice startled me a bit. I turned towards him and answered "No I don't." He nodded a bit and without looking at me said," You have to come home as soon as your school ends.No hanging out with your friends. Do you understand? " I wanted to say "since when do you let me hang out with my friends?" But I knew better. So I asked something else,"I understand but can I ask why?" "Some important guests are coming tonight for dinner and I want my family to be present there when they come." He finished talking as we pulled in front my school. I got out of the car but not before him reminding me again about dinner. I just nodded and rolled my eyes mentally because hell will pay me grand visit if I do that in front of my dad.
When I reached my class I saw my two closest friend Eva and Ally chatting near our seats. "Good morning" I greeted them as I put my bag down in my seat."Good morning " they greeted in unison." Hey did you listen to the song I sent you yesterday?? "Eva asked me excitedly."Yes I did and..." I purposely left her hanging cause I knew it would rile her up. And guess what's happened, "and?and?did you like it or not?? Tell me!! Why are you not saying anything? Did you not like it? But how could not like it?" I laughed and decided to put her out of her misery."yes,I like it. Actually I like it a lot. They are very good"I praise.. It only add oil to the flame,"I know right??They're awesome and they're also very handsome!! " and she went into her lala land. During all this Ally was quite and finally speak up,".but...I like the other group better " and that broke Eva's trance.."You did not say that!!How dare you!Take it back!" I was trying really hard to control my laugh but thankfully our teacher decided that moment to come and class started just like any other day.
In lunchtime we all went to the cafeteria and got our lunch. After we sat down in our bench Ally asked me "Wanna go to the mall after school?I need to buy new shoe." "I have no problem." Eva replied drinking her juice. When I was quite they look at me expectantly. But before I could reply someone else did that for me."Awe you poor little losers are going to mall to buy shoes?Why didn't find your shoes at the flee market?aww I feel bad for you"..Now everyone meet Claire, a girl who have literally nothing better to do except insulting us or taunt us,specifically me. Now you may think she's probably a typical high school queen bee or something but no,she's not queen of anything,maybe queen of a group of clowns with bad makeup. She maybe not be a queen bee but she's part of the cheer leading team. Frankly our school is not that stereotype school maybe because its a all-girl school. We have different clubs but they do get along well. Only this girl have god or the crazy man who lives in her head knows whats problem with me,who is almost invisible in this school. Its not like I did something to hurt her or anything. We met in our first year of high school. We were good friends until she met my family and our midterm results came out. I still don't know what she understood from that but after that she just stopped talking to me. I tried several times to mend things with her but every time it was like I was bothering her by the expression she gave me. One fact about me is if I realize that I'm bothering someone,I'll distance myself from those persons. I mean how much drama can a girl take right? Since then she has make it her duty to annoy me with her petty insults. Ok back to reality now.After hearing her irritating,whiny voice all three of us sighed."What do you want now Claire?" Ally replied to her. "Why?what's it to you?so Elisa you're going to the mall?I didn't knew you're a social animal!" She snickered at her own joke,which is quite lame. "Were you eavesdropping in our conversation?" I asked her. "Please. Like I don't have anything better to do." She huffed putting her hand on her hip. "I highly doubt that and what I do is none of your business so just go back to where you came from and leave us human alone." I answered. It took her a couple of minutes to understand what I said and when she get it her face turned red. I was waiting for the lava to came out of her ears and nose and mouth but it didn't came out.Ah! A girl can dream right.But before she could say anything I spoke again,"How many times have I told you that eavesdropping on someone's conversation is a very bad manner. You should've learn by now." I was talking as I was talking to a child. If possible her face turned redder and she left in a huff. I was annoyed. Who does she think she is?I hate it when someone make my decisions for me. That's why I'm not so fond of my father's participation in every decision of my life.
"Anyyyywhooooo ,Elisa you're coming right?" Ally asked me.I bit my lip and said,"I'm really sorry but I can't. " "But it won't take long. We'll just buy the shoe and leave. We won't even stop for snacks.I promise." She pleaded and I hate when my friends pleads. "Its not about snacks. Some guests are coming tonight so I have to be home as soon as possible. I'm really sorry and I really want to go but you know how my father is. He will tolerate if I'm late Tonight. Please understand Ally." Ally's face lost that light of excitement so does Eva's. But they both nodded telling me they understood. I'm really lucky to have friends like them."I'm sorry guys ,you know how my father is right? "We know that's why we can't say anything. Its OK .maybe next time." Ally said. "But you guys should go. You need new shoes." I told to the girls.. "No way,shoes can wait. We'll go together some other day." Ally decided and I saw Eva nodded agreeing with Ally. "Awe, I love you guys" I said and hugged them. "Agh,you're so clingy. God!" Ally grumbled even though we can see her smiling.
When the bell ring for the last period we all groaned. It was gym. We all hate gym. I don't understand why do we need gym? Its doesn't do any good anyway. Right? But maybe its only our gym teacher miss Taylor. Its seems like she's constipated and she's takes that frustration on us. She needs to see some doctor I'm telling you. When I opened my gym locker I find out my gym clothes are missing. I looked at Claire and saw her snickering..'yeah you're doing a great job hiding the fact that you hide my clothes.' I had an extra set but I just took it for wash yesterday. So I do not have any other choice but to tell our gym teacher.I'll just skip over the part where she almost chew my head off literally. In conclusion I have to clean the gym area and run 20 laps as punishment. I groaned and cursing mentally .Though I'm not that concerned about the punishment or the fact that Claire may be dancing in victory in her lair. The only thing I'm concerned about is I may not reach home in time. But thankfully I have two super awesome friends who helped me after class and we finished almost half an hour after school ends.
"Thank you so much guys for your help. If it wasn't for you I would not be able to finish today." I thanked my friends as we were all rushing to get out of school. "But you're still late. Are you sure you'll be fine walking home?Do you wanna take a taxi?" Eva asked me worriedly. They would have offer to drop me off in their car if their cars really exist. I shook my head no as we are out of the school. "I'll be more late if I wait for a taxi. I'll be fine. Don't worry. " I try to assure them but inside I was panicking a bit. "Still do you want us to come and explain everything to your father?" This time it was Ally. I'm so lucky to have friends like them. I smiled and said "No its OK..but thanks again guys. Now I really got to go..see you tomorrow?" They both nodded and we hugged and said our goodbye.
As I was speed walking down my street I was wondering why none of parents didn't called me cause I was so late. I pulled out my cellphone from my bag and saw it was off. 'Strange' and then I remembered I forgot to charge my phone last night. 'Holy fiddlesticks . I'm so dead today.' When I was in front of my house I saw my mother standing on the porch looking very worried and then I knew 'I'm dead today. Goodbye mom. Goodbye my lovely best friends. Goodbye world.'
Only if I knew that I won't die that day by my father's hand but my life would turn totally upside down after that day.
