The Dark Souls •H.S•

•- F.O.U.R -•

True to Meg's words, the boys actually wet the whole school including us. We were dripping wet because of all the water balloons they aimed at us. I won't be surprised if principal calls us tomorrow in his office and gets us to clean the hallway for a week or two.

By the time I reached home, I was shivering and sneezed for I don't know how many times. I hated being sick but thankfully my sickness doesn't last for long. It will be two days or two hours of sneezing and coughing plus the sore throat and then it will be magically gone. I like to think that I am blessed. I quickly peel off my almost dried clothes and hop inside the hot, steamy shower. I let out a satisfied sigh and then wait for a while before I properly scrub my whole body. I then shampoo my hair with some random shampoo that smells fruity. After the shower, I wrap myself with my soft and fluffy towel and get out.

I let out a small shriek of surprise when I saw someone sitting on my bed. I relaxed as soon as I knew that it's my mum. When she saw me, her eyes lit up like a kid in Christmas and smile so wide when we hand the gift over to the kid.

"Geez mum, thanks for letting me know you are here" I sarcastically remarked.

"Aww sorry, I didn't mean to scare you like that" she said,

"So, did you want to say something?" I ask her,

"Yes, first get changed and then we will talk" she said,

"Okay" I said and waited for her to leave.

When she didn't leave, I groaned.

"Mom!" I exclaimed,

"What? You can't put on clothes in front of your own mum?" She said, giving me a weird look.

"No, I can't" I said,

"Darling, I cleaned your-" she was about to complete but the ring of the bell stopped her.

There I am saying it, saved by the bell.

I quickly change into a blue tank top and black yoga pants. I let my hair be open so that it dries off. I go to the living room and see a package which is neatly packed and placed on the dining table. I get near to the package and look at the address; it's addressed to our location. The P.O box number is same as ours and the name it's addressed to, is me. I took the box and sat it on my lap. I start opening the wrapper while I could hear my mum's footsteps coming from behind.

"What are you doing?" she asked sternly,

"Opening the package" I casually said, while ripping off the whole package.

I was about to open the box and see what's inside but my mother snatched it off my hand before I could fully open the box.

"What- mom! Why'd you snatch it away?" I ask her with confusion and frustration in my voice.

"It's because it's not for you." She said,

"But my name is written and our address-" I was about to complete but she cut me off,

"I said it's not for you. It was a misunderstanding" she said, with a stern face and stern voice.

"But mom-"

"Go to your room Emily" she ordered, she said my whole name instead of Emy means it's something really serious. I don't question her anymore and just head to my room.

I message Meg real quick, telling her to meet me at the café. I put on a jacket and blue denim pant and then my converse. I take my purse and was leaving but mum approached me first before I approached the door.

"Emy, I am sorry darling for just sending you into your room." She apologised,

I turn to look at her, she truly is very sorry but she is hiding something too. I need to find out what was in the box, I need to find out what my mother is hiding.
