Chapter 13: Pricky Jealousy

Mara

"Hey, Marbie?! D'you have a ride to school? I'm gonna be heading out!" Trav shouted from the other side of my door while knocking obnoxiously loud. I was already dressed but I was kind of expecting Kyle to come pick me up. He usually did for about a week now. It made it easier for us to drive to school. But he was 25 minutes late and school was about to start in 15 minutes. I guess he was a no show then.

"You go ahead! I'll catch up with you later." I shouted back at him and he stopped banging on the door finally. I gave up on waiting and grabbed my keys and bag before thundering down the steps. Mom and Dad were having breakfast in the dining room. To think they were on vacation that they would sleep in but no that wasn't the case with Adam and Scarlette Collins. They woke up early in the mornings to attend live video conferences and to go over the company reports and business deals countless times to make sure every single detail was perfect and in place. The only time they stopped doing business was to eat and sleep.

"Good Morning, cutie. Sleep well?" my dad greeted me when I gave him a kiss on the cheek. I didn't answer and that made my mom mad.

"Mara, you know sleep is important." she scolded. I knew this. Everyone knew this. But how can one sleep when they are being haunted by their dead boyfriend everytime they shut their eyes? I rolled my eyes discreetly but my dad caught me. He gave me a secret wink and smile. Apparently, he thought my mom was a bit overbearing as well.

"Bye, mom." I told her as I leaned in to kiss her cheek. I took off before she could stop me.

"Mara! You haven't even eaten breakfast!" she shouted out to me.

"I'm not hungry yet. I'll eat at school." I told her although the second part was a lie. I didn't want to eat while u had the evasive Kyle on my mind. I sped off to school in my Aston, anxious to get to the bottom of Kyle's sudden impassiveness.

Mara

I parked my car in my usual parking space and found Kyle's bike parked nearby. Meaning he was already here. Meaning he intentionally didn't pick me up. Jerk. Bree, Felix and Trav came over to me and my twin put his arm over my shoulders.

"Well, you're later than usual." Felix stated as he leaned on my car's hood. Bree stood in front of me with a bewildered expression.

"Gee, thanks for stating the obvious,Captain Obvious!" I said and all he gave me was a goofy smile. I rolled my eyes but nevertheless smiled at Felix's endearing personality. Trav snickered beside me while Bree still continued to look at me weirdly.
