Chapter 16

My eyes fluttered open as the sun was shining through the window right onto my face. I slowly sat up and sighed.

Yawning used to be easy for me but because of my busted lip and bruised cheek, it's now one of the hardest and most painful thing to do.

I stood up and look at my phone to find out that's it's already 2 pm. I'm not even surprised that I slept so long, I blame it on the bruises.

I went to my bathroom to take a shower and brush my teeth. In about two hours, Kim and I have to be in school to meet Meredith and Chloe's father and mom and aunt Isabelle's friends as well.

Who they are? I have no clue. As soon as I got dressed and did my usual make up routine, I walked downstairs to the kitchen to find Kim eating her cereal. She looks pretty upset and in deep thought.

Her lip is busted as well and her jaw is bruised. Meredith and Chloe did hit us hard. Kim was probably thinking about Ethan. How upset she is because of Meredith. I only have to do one thing to make her either laugh or annoyed.

I walked right in front of her and she just looked at me then continued eating. "I have a question" I said while pouring myself some cereal.

"Shoot" she whispered then looked up at me.

"If I eat cereal, would it make me a serial killer?" I asked with a thoughtful look but then cracked a smile as she suddenly giggled.

"Where do you get all these questions?" She asked while laughing. "I'm just a curious girl" I answered with a mouthful of cereal.

"Thank you. I needed that" she smiled and put the now empty bowl away. "No problem." I whispered and quickly finished my cereal.

"Who are mom and aunt's friends?" Kim asked while putting on her black converse. "No clue but mom said we'll meet them in school since they are gonna be late." I shrugged and searched for my white converse.

Kim laughed and pointed at the shoe holder thingy. I laughed as well as I realised it was right in front of me.

"Hello?" I hear Kim say while I was tying up my laces. "Why are you saying hello?" I asked her and then look up to find her talking on the phone.

I quietly laughed and she did too. I thought she was talking to me. "Oh that's fine we're on our way anyway." She said then hung up. I raised an eyebrow at her. "No goodbye?" I asked her.

"You do. know this is not some kind of movie where you just hung up without a goodbye."

"I know. Mr Ford just told us to arrive sooner and then he said bye so I hung up." She explained. I just nodded and took the keys to my Range Rover.

"No i want to drive my car" Kim suddenly protested but I quickly narrowed my eyes. "No
I'll drive with my car" I said.

"Fine then Rock Paper Scissors whoever wins gets to choose" she said getting ready to lose or so I thought. We played one time and I lost. She was jumping up and down while taking her car keys out and I was sulking.

"You know what. I'll take my own car." I said while pouting. Kim just laughed and nodded "fair enough".

As soon as I parked in front of the school I jumped out of the car. Kim just arrived since I did go a little bit over the speed limit and she didn't.

She parked her car right next to mine and jumped out as well.

It's about half past 3 already since it does take half an hour to get to school. "You ready to face the idiots and their donors?" Kim asked me while smirking.
