Misfit

Chapter Fourteen

Allison's  P.O.V

The afternoon sessions went by smoothly, despite the scene I caused during lunch break. Luckily, I didn't have any classes with Lucas or Hayden. Heck, I haven't run into them the whole afternoon.

I can't get the people's reactions off my head when I confronted the guys and when I walked out. Their awestrucked faces and widened eyes trailed behind me as I walked away. Perhaps they never imagined anyone to stand up to the two most popular boys in school. Maybe they have but they never thought it would be me since I was an awkward piece of crap.

Every time I pass by a group of people, all their heads turn to me and a glint of amusement is clear in their eyes. The cheerleaders fixated their eyes on me with a glare. The jocks? Just standing there, smirking at me while I walk past them. jerks.

I placed my books inside my locker and arranged it carefully. A locker door was shut loudly, it made me jump and my leg collided with the steel cabinets. I winced and crouched in pain.

"Are you alright?"

I looked up and saw Lucas. I straightened myself and closed my locker.  I picked up my crutches and placed them under my arms to support me.  "Yeah" I responded coldly and walked away. Yes, I'm overreacting. No, I don't give a flying fuck about it.

I proceeded down the hall with Lucas trailing behind me. "Al, let me explain. I was just-" I cut him of with a wave of my hand. I rolled my eyes at him and scoffed. "You don't have to. Just leave me alone." I turned around and walked out of the building.

I took out my phone and dialed Kevin's number and  told him that he can fetch me now.  A few minutes later, a shiny Range Rover pulled over infront of me. I walked around and slid inside.

"Heya sis!" He pinched me on the cheeks and chuckled. I frowned at him and laid back on my seat. "Had a rough day?" I laughed bitterly and leaned against the window.

"You have no idea."

  I turned up the volume of the radio to drown out the awkward atmosphere and my own thoughts.

*****

I threw myself in bed and nuzzled my face onto the duvet. After realising that I couldn't hold my breath any longer, I rolled over and faced the ceiling. I grabbed my phone from the night stand and opened Twitter.

 I was aimlessly scrolling through random tweets, I came across Jenna Lawson's tweet. She's a close friend of Savannah incase I haven't mentioned that already.

Wow! She stood up against them. Such brave little kitty. AHAHAHAHA

I can practically feel the sarcasm in her tweet. I rolled my eyes and sighed. Why did Lucas take the first step in confronting Hayden? He hasn't done anything to him. Well except for dragging him to the complete madness of the popular crowd. But yeah whatever, that doesn't count anyway. Why would he be such a hero when he doesn't even know anything besides the fact that Hade doesn't like me? God, he can be really stupid.

I  looked at the time andd noticed that it was almost 10 in the evening. My stomach grumbled. Oh yeah, I haven't eaten dinner yet.  

I stood up and left my room. I carefully walked down the stairs and held on to the railings. When I got to the bottom of the staircase, I quickly ran to the kitchen. Well, if you consider limping as fast as you can then good.

I opened the cupboard and reached for the pancake mix. You can never go wrong with breakfast for dinner so don't judge me. 

I prepared all the ingredients and mixed it all up in a bowl. I heated up the pan and melted a generous amount of butter all over it. I flipped the pancakes until it was nicely done and placed it on a plate. I grabbed my peppermint tea from the table and walked to the living room to eat.

I gently placed my food on the coffee table and went back to the kitchen to get my utensils. Once I had my maple syrup, fork and teaspoon in my hand, I journeyed back to the living room.

The front door made a clicking sound before it opened. I quickly turned around and saw both my parents coming in. I gawked at them since I haven't seen them in ages. Mom graciously walked in before dad.

"Allison?"  Mom said in a confused tone.

"Uh hey mom, dad." I squeaked. Dad came over to me and kissed my forehead and then went up to their room. It was obvious he was dead tired but mom sat on the couch beside me and examined my food.

"Why are you awake at this time? You have school tomorrow." She took my fork and ate the pancake herself. Wow, mom wow. I just shrugged and took back my fork. I sipped from my cup and stared at her.

"Where have you  guys  been?"

She sighed and took off her blazer. She laid her back against the couch and closed her eyes for a brief moment. "Guatemala" I stared at her. What the hell? what were they doing there? I thought they were only somewhere in the country.

"Wait what? Guatemala?"

"It was for the foundation darling." Oh yeah. Our foundation. The Quadrant Foundation is a partner with The Quadrant Hotels. Obviously. Soon enough I'll be managing both and it'll be as stressful as it is now. Maybe even more. I frowned at the thought of being so busy in the future. Lazy arse.

"I'm sorry honey but I'm going to bed now. You better head to bed soon because you have school tomorrow okay?" She kissed my forehead and stood up. She waltzed towards the stairs before stopping.

"And before I forget, you have some explaining to do tomorrow young lady." She said sternly and pointed at my injured leg.

 Dang it! I thought she missed that. Gah! It's gonna be a long morning. Sigh...
