Cupid's assistant

Chapter 14

I awoke to the sound of my mother's loud voice. I groan and pick up my pillow and put it over my head. Why does she have to be here this early? I get up and get ready and walk downstairs to find my mother and father yelling at each other in the kitchen about the usual fight subject. Parenting. They stop once they see me.

"Hi honey, why are you up? Did we wake you up?" My mom asks disgusting me, like she cares if she woke me up. She wouldn't even care if I got a tattoo or if I dropped out of school. I hate it when she pretends that she cares it pisses me off even more than when she shows that she doesn't actually care.

"Yeah you kind of did."

"Sorry sweetie," my mom says in a fake sweet voice which made me roll my eyes. I walk over to the refrigerator and grab a blueberry muffin. I walk past my parents and sit down on the couch turning on the tv and started to watch the today show. My mom walked up the stairs and went into their room, while my dad walked into his office. I got the strangest feeling to go comfort one of them or both of them, but I fought it knowing that my dad wouldn't want to talk and I don't want to hurt myself by talking to mom.

I stayed put until Hannah and Simon walked down the stairs laughing wildly together. I raised my eyebrow and got the weirdest feeling to hit my sister or pull them apart.

"What's so funny?" I ask them with my eyebrow still raised.

"Nothing," my sister says. All of a sudden I get pissed. What's so funny and why won't they tell me? I get up and tell them to hurry up because I want to get to school early today but in actual reality I had no plans of going to school early until just now.

We leave the house a few minutes later, Hannah and Simon keep talking which was still irking me. I feel like they are just ignoring me. He is my best friend not hers! She is my sister not his! This is so not cool, I am the reason they even know each other! Why do they all of a sudden think it's ok to just exclude me? Did I do or say something wrong yesterday? I don't think I did. Wait is something going on here? Omigod! Do they like each other? I don't even know what I think about this.

"Hey Sophie, have you decided whether you are going to try out for the school musical tomorrow? What is it again?" Simon says breaking me out of my thoughts, "Rent! that's it!"

"Actually I totally forgot about that." I start to say but loud laughter cut me off. I turned back and saw Hannah practically on the floor clutching her stomach and crying while she laughs her butt off. I huff and look out the window and see that we are at school. I get out of the car and slam the door walking angrily away. That was what I meant, that was what I was afraid of. Simon didn't even say or do anything. Maybe he really does like Hannah.

Gosh I need to get my mind off this. I see Mary and her sister Maribela talking to each other on the steps that lead up to the school. Mary and Maribela no matter how much they try to deny it they look a lot like each other you can tell that they are sisters unlike my sister and I. Mary and Maribela both have shoulder length brunette hair, light brown eyes, same noses, mouth shape, and face shape. Whereas Hannah and I only have long blonde hair even though mine is darker and thicker and the same green eyes. Mary is a little bit taller than Maribela even though she is younger, Maribela hates it and Mary loves it even though her hight isn't really something to brag about. Mary and I are the same hight and we are on the low side of average height. I guess we can't complain too much, Hannah isn't even 5 foot yet and Alana just hit the 5 foot mark this summer.

I start to walk over to them, "Hey guys," I say as I sit down next to Mary.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Mary asks knowing right away that something is up even though I tried to hide it.

"Nothing, Hannah is just being a butthead." I replied in a matter to show them that I didn't want to talk about it and they should just change the subject. Which they were kind enough to do just that.

We stayed out there until the bell rang for us to go in and then we separated. I quickly went to my first class, history, hoping I could talk to Mrs Hill about moving seats. I get in her class first and I drop my stuff at my desk and walk over to hers.

"Mrs Hill I have a favor to ask of you." I say and she looks up interested.

"How can I be of your assistance Miss Bennett."

"Well I was wondering if we could change seats today."

"Ok Cupid's assistant, who do you want me to put together?" She asks seeing straight through me. I smile and tell her she nods and says very well then and smiles going back to what looked like grading papers.

History went really well, Mrs Hill sat Courtney and Kevin together and they were talking all through class. Nice job Sophie! You are so good at this! Mental high five to myself!
