Elisa's POV

Monday morning came and I hate it. My hatred towards this Monday is quite special. You see I kept my phone off the whole weekend. So when I turned it on,it notified me of Eva and Ally's countless missed call and messages. 'Seems like there's some explanation to do.' I sighed. Not only that but I don't know how I'm going to school. Because dad is my ride but after the incident I don't wanna face him. And I really want to walk but I don't know if dad is going to accept that. So I got ready early if I have walk to school. I came downstairs for the first time since Sunday. I just picked up an apple for my breakfast. Mom gave me a look but I ignored it.
"I'm leaving. Or else I'll be late for school." 'I want to be late. I don't even want to go to school today.' I thought. Mom opened her mouth to say something but dad beat her to it. "What do you mean you're leaving? We still have five minutes left or did you forget that I drop you off to school like you forget you're manners?" Said the voice I avoid the whole weekend. Mom's look clearly said,calm down. Don't react.'
I turned to my father, his face looked like he rather be somewhere else. 'I Didn't forced you to drop me to school you know. God gave me two leg for a reason.' I thought bitterly. "I didn't forget anything." I replied walking past him, "couldn't even if I wanted to." I muttered. My apple long forgotten. My belly was full of my dearest dad's word. Feel the sarcasm. The car ride was the most awkward thing of my whole life. More awkward than any ride I've shared with him. Other times we don't have anything to say to each other and this time, we didn't wanted to talk to each other. 'So weird. At least other times our relationship wasn't this broken.'
When we reached my school I was ready to bolt out of the running car just to get away from him. But before I could get out of the car he stopped me. I looked at him. He face looked deep in thought and a bit troubled. My heartbeat became faster in hope. 'Is he sorry?Is he going to say it was a mistake and he will call this deal off? Is he going to say he is not that heartless as much as he looks? Is he going to say he loves his own daughter more than his business?'
But he crushed my hopes like he has been doing always. "I know you're probably hurt by the news and I understand your feelings, but you also have to understand that it is a big deal for me. My company's status will rise. We will also be making a place in the business world.At least in the top ten. So please accept this. OK? Stop thinking about yourself for a minute and think how important this is for me." I was staring at him probably like dumbfoundedly.  'Probably hurt?He understand my feeling? Stop thinking about myself? How can he say these things? Didn't he knew me at all??' I guess it was my fault thinking he would change. That he finally understood he's so called daughter. " You don't understand anything." I muttered.'I wish you weren't my father' I wanted to say but didn't. So I left the car silently. I couldn't say anything else. Whatever I say will just fly over his head. I didn't even turn to see if he was saying anything. I went straight to the back of our school which is empty at this time and broke down in tears. Again.
When the bell rang I make myself presentable and went in class. Eva and Ally were already there. They were discussing something very seriously but stopped when they saw me. I smiled at them well tried my best, "good morning guys. How was your weekend?" They just stared at me. "Why was your phone off the whole weekend?? You didn't even contacted us once? Why?What happened to you? You should've message us at least one." Eva said loud enough for a few students to turn their heads towards us. She then asked the next part quietly, "Is everything ok in home? Did something happened?" Ally then turned me to face her, "Eli what happened? Why you look like you were crying? You looking like a mess!what happened?" This is why I love them so much. They know me like my mom do.
I wanted to tell them everything. I needed to tell them everything. 'Maybe they can help.'  
     But before I could say anything came another voice that I  despise so much. "Oh my. Somebody forgot to put on makeup today." Claire came sauntering to our desk with two other bimbos. "You know Elisa, you should put on makeup everyday to hide that stupid, ugly face of yours. You are not doing a great job about to hiding it. If you want I can teach you. I will even do it for free. Because I love doing charity and you know its a torture for our eyes to see that face of yours everyday." Her stupid minions snickered at her I guess ' joke'.
Some other girls were also looking at us. I was in no mood to tolerate her stupidity today. I have enough crazy people in my plate to handle. I do not need another idiot good for nothing b-itch of a psycho to deal with. My right eye twitched and my hands were itching to slap her repeatedly. I have never slapped anyone but hey everything have a first time right? And who else is a better candidate then this clown face? I turned to her, " I love it if you teach me Claire. I mean you would know how to hide an ugly face under makeup better than you right?" I put my hands on my heart like I was so sorry for her. "Oh,poor you. It must be a torture for you to see that face in the mirror everyday. Aww." I fake cried and removed  fake tears with a tissue. She was shocked at first and now she's seething at me. I saw a few girls snickered at her. She stomped over and stood right in front of my face. "How dare you? Do you know who I am?" She tried to look intimidating which turned out looking like she's constipated.
     "Oh my god. Somebody please help this poor girl. She forgot who she is. Don't worry child we'll find your parents soon." At this point she was looking like a very angry red puff fish who was ready to burst."How can I forgot when you keep popping up in front of me. Let me tell you something, instead of following me around and irritating me, pay attention to yourself and try to make something in your life. Also stay out of my business." I warned her. She was growling at me, but before she could utter another word,our teacher came in and ended her drama.
      In lunchtime we took our lunch and went to the garden area. We needed to talk plus it was a nice sunny day in the middle of November,so we decided to enjoy it. Eva and Ally waited till I finished my lunch. I finished it quickly cause first I didn't eat anything since last night also it was only a sandwich and orange juice.
As soon as I was finished, Eva spoke up, " So what happened? Something very serious must have happened if you turned your phone off and you're also very quite today. So spit it out." "Yes,you know you can tell us anything. You are always tensed because of your father but never this distressed. What happened?" Ally added. I looked at them,'I guess there is no way out.' I took a deep breath and told them everything that happened since Friday night. After I relived the weekend I couldn't stop my tears. Ally was hugging me and Eva was holding my hands in both of hers. "Do you want me to kill that Kim guy or your father?" Ally and I looked at her weirdly. But we burst out laughing. "Thanks but no thanks Eva." I stopped her before her imagination run wild. "No but seriously tell us if anything we can do? Did you talk to your dad?" Ally asked in all seriousness. "Talking was never an option with him. I just need to think of some other way. And soon." I sighed.
"Just tell us if you need anything and whenever you want to talk just call us ok? We will do anything to get you out of this mess Eli." Eva said sincerely. I teared up again. "Thank you so much guys. I love you." 'I'm so lucky to have friends like them.' I thought and I hugged them both.
