Foster Girl

Chapter Eight

After another exhausting week of school I finally reached home and just flung my bag to the floor sprinting up the stairs to drop down on my bed to take a small nap. This week was definitely a handful but you have to do what you have to do to reach somewhere right?

I mean there's no way in world I can be successful without a proper education is there? Unless I become a hooker but I wasn't considering that career choice.
As yet. I smiled to myself hoping I didn't end up going down that road. God No,Just No.

I sat down on the bed with the soft fabric underneath touching my feet. It felt comfortable but right now a shower would really do me good. And so I decided to do just that. Since Jonah wasn't around I just decided to remove my clothes in the room instead of the bathroom.

As I lifted my shirt halfway through taking it off my hand got twisted in a strange position and it was really hard to remove then I heard the handle of the door turning and my hand was still stuck.

Crap. "Well well well what do we have here?" He sneered out. "Just shut up and help me out of this thing please." "Well since you said please, No." "What" I exclaimed. "It's a joke Shay just turned your hand then carry it up and pull right over." He practically saw you naked I told myself.

I followed his instructions and within seconds my hand was at my side again and my shirt pulled back down. I stared into his dark brown chocolate eyes now looking at his features. His hair was raven black,his jawline as sharp as a razor I  once used to cut myself with. His face was gorgeously sculpted and in his eyes held some mystery and what you could call the eyes of someone who's been through a lot.

His body wasn't exactly super model type or of someone who lifted weights. He was normal,simple,unique. That's honestly not bad at all. I liked simple.
"I'm going to take a shower. I'll talk to you when I'm back" I said over my shoulder.

My shower only took roughly 20 minutes and it's like every bone inside my body was revived. After stepping out the shower I changed into a simple shorts and a plain white T- shirt since I wasn't planning on going anywhere afterwards.

When I opened the bathroom door my eyes were greeted with the sight of Jonah sprawled out on my bed. "Humph! Humph!" He looked up at me. "How did you get the better bed?" he frowned.

"I was here first, I deserve the better bed and I was here first." "You said the last one two times" he replied. "Yeah for emphasis" I answered. "Now would you mind getting your carcass off my bed please I'd like to get into my bed."

"Okay" he said slipping off quickly and as he slipped off I plopped down unto it pulling the covers above my legs. "Going to bed this early on a Friday night?" he questioned. "No I have a life too you know" I replied back. "Doesn't seem like it to me at all" he sneered.

"If having a life means going out every night,getting drunk at parties, smoking weed like a blasted idiot or having sex every other day then I guess I don't have a life at all" I answered. "That's not what I meant" he said. "It's just that most 15 year olds are out on Friday nights I thought you'd be too."

"I have a friend not friends huge difference" I stated. He scratched the back of his neck before muttering "sorry" under his breath. "It's fine really and why is this conversation all about me why aren't you out?"

"Friends are out but I wanted to stay home tonight." "Why?" I pondered. "Nothing" he answered. "Okay" I answered staring into his eyes. They were absolutely captivating. He got a text on his phone and that's when I remembered about mine.

Using it as a distraction I grabbed my earphones from my bedside table inserting them into my phone. As the music played inside my ears loudly I quickly forgot anybody else was in the room with me and so I started singing along with the song as well. All I want by Kodaline started playing and I couldn't help but to sing along. No I don't listen to well-known  musicians or artistes. I started saying the lyrics slowly.

But if you loved me
Why'd you leave me?
Take my body
Take my body
All I want is
And all I need is
To find somebody
I'll find somebody
But if you loved me
Why'd you leave me?
Take my body
Take my body
All I want is
And all I need is
To find somebody
I'll find somebody
Like you

I don't know why but that song was just always one of my favourites. For some odd reason it always made me feel emotional and then a felt a tap on my foot. I took out one of my earphones to listen to what Jonah had to say.
"Yes?" I asked. "Can I listen as well my phone has zero music." I stared at him blankly "who's phone has no music at all?!" "Are you joking" I asked bewildered. "Nope" he replied shocking; I thought very shocking. "So can I hear or not" he whined. "Not if you continue to whine like a child" I stated. He didn't utter a word.

"You won't like what I'm listening to anyways" I responded "trust me." "Try me" he challenged. "Okay your ears not mine I handed him his the earbud which he placed into his ear. He turned it in a weird position. I'd never seen anyone it that way before. He had it upside down. I rarely saw people doing that. We just listened to music the whole night until we were both tired
