Twisted

Chapter 16- Finally, answers

Genevieve~

She waited impatiently for the chauffeur to pick her up. Something told her he wasn't going to come. So she made her way home.

When she finally reached, she was sweating like hell, thanks to the burning sun. Her mother was home, she noticed.

Must be working at home again. Genevieve thought solemnly.

She hardly even knew her mom. She always liked her easy going dad better. Her mom was... different. She was colder.

Genevieve walked upstairs to her room, she passed by her mom's office and heard murmurs from the outside. Curious, she pressed her ear to the door.

"So far she hasn't been telling me of any weird dreams." Adele said.

"But maybe she is hiding from you." The person said. Genevieve grimaced. The person seemed familiar and cold. But she knew it was a woman.

"Yes, but if she ever finds out the truth?" Adele asked.

"Before she reaches 18 she cannot know anything. After 18 if she fails to recall. We shall call it a success." The person replied.

"And if she does finds out?"

"Kill her."

Genevieve sprang back from the door. They were going to kill someone! But who? Me? Genevieve thought and gasped. However her mom and the person's conversation stopped for a moment. She heard her mom's footsteps walking nearer to the door. Genevieve sprang into the washroom.

She pretended that she was washing her hands. Her mother knocked on the toilet door.

"Whose in there?" Adele's voice rang out loud and clear.

"Mom?" Genevieve said, her heart beat faster." I broke a nail." She winced, hoping she would take that as a reason.

"Ouch."Came the replied," I'll go back to work. Later honey." And the footsteps trailed away. Genevieve heaved a sigh of relief. What should she do?! When Genevieve heard the door close behind her mother, she grabbed her bag and dashed to her room.

"Shit."Genevieve panicked. When this happened, she only thought of a solution.

Call Jeff for help. Should she? What if he gets dragged down? Genevieve frowned. Maybe not.

She decided to play it by the ear and hope for the best.

Meanwhile...

Jeff~

He hesitated outside of the office, what did Ms C want to see him for?

He knocked on the door before entering. Ms C was talking happily with the gym teacher. Mr Howard. He was kind of a coward actually. Ms C saw him and dismissed Mr Howard. Unhappily, Mr Howard left the room.

"Good morning Ms C." Jeff greeted. Ms C looked at him disdainfully.

"Yes Jeff. Have you hooked up with Genevieve yet?" Ms C asked bluntly.

"No." Jeff said forcing the mental urge to roll his eyes. He didn't want to hook up with Genevieve! She was pretty, yes, she was but even he had to have his limits! Moreover he was just to make her like him right?

"You have to hurry up!" Ms C yelled. Jeff flinched. Then she cooled down and looked at him solemnly.

"Just try your best." Ms C said and dismissed him. Jeff pursed his lips and left, but he saw Ms C glancing at him sharply.

"Ms C?" Jeff said not turning around." Ask Ron to keep to himself. It's rather disturbing." And he left the room.

Hey ppl!

I have a question now. Is Jeff's niceness for Genevieve real? It's so confusing. Even I don't know. Who did Adele want to kill? Its frustrating. Sorry, next chapter next week! So my friends stop pestering me. ( if you didn't then NVM)

Thank u!

L.S.
