In Love With The Bully

Chapter-10

I don't know my own dad's background

Meredith's POV

"Miss Grand, your dad is here. You are quite alright now. So you can go home" said the nurse snapping me out of my thoughts. "Sure. Thank you for everything. Goodbye " I said as I walked out of the infirmary. Once I was out, the sudden noise of students and expensive cars hit me. As I walked , Nina and Anastasia ran towards me to give me the notes they had taken for me from the two periods I had missed. I thanked them and gave them a quick hug. But I still hadn't got my chemistry note. I wonder who has it.

I spotted dad in the parking lot and waved. I was still embarrassed that I fainted in school and missed four periods. Worst of all, Sebastian Samuel had to carry me to the infirmary. And that Niarchos jerk, who does he think he is. I know many bullies will target me due to my controversial speech (or whatever) but I can't let them pull my legs. I have to be strong. "Anything wrong today at school?"asked dad. "No, why?" I lied. "I know my daughter too well. So, school problems?" asked dad. I nodded. Dad just gave me a sweet smile. There was a silence between us.

"You know I was a player when I was your age. A hardcore playboy" dad said suddenly with a short laugh. "Really?" I asked with a teasing look. "That was until I saw your mom. After I saw your mom, I couldn't look at anybody else" he said with a dreamy look. "Omg! That sounds sweet and cringy at the same time" I said with a laugh. He must be in a really good mood today as he never talked about his past. I'm sorry if I forgot to mention you but I know nothing about my past. I know that mum's parents are already dead but about dad, I don't know anything. I have asked him so many times about his past. And until now, he has only told me that he got disowned by his dad and he left them and settled here. Why he got disowned, who his parents were, are they still alive or dead......he has never told me. Every time I ask him about his childhood, he gets irritated and tells me that's not important.

"Dad, why were you disowned?" I asked for more than hundredth time and his reply was same. "That was a nice try. Look here Meri, it's nothing important ok? And what will you do after you find out about me?"he asked calmly. "I just want to know about you, dad. So many people have asked me about my family. It's so embarrassing. I don't even know about my family!" I said with a sigh. "Woah! That's a huge problem " said my dad mockingly. I playfully rolled my eyes. It was really nice, sitting here with dad, feeling at home. I didn't have to worry about people bullying me, about exams and about my enemy dating my bestie. I pulled out Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. It was my sixth time reading it. It was really fun reading Harry's problems rather than facing my own.

"C-H-E....E-R-S.......CHEERS" screamed mom as soon as dad and I stepped out of the car. "Mom!! What are you doing?" I asked as I felt heat rise up to my face. Dad was looking around to make sure nobody saw us. Mom was still grinning in a cheerful manner. "What do you think you're doing, honey?"asked dad as soon as we were inside. "You got a promotion, Ethan! You don't expect me to be happy?"asked mom happily.

"Dad! You got promoted!? You didn't tell me. Why?" I asked as I looked at him with mock anger. "You seemed so upset. I didn't want to disturb you from your thoughts " he said. I smiled guiltily. My problems were nothing compared to dad's. He got disowned. What could be worse than that." What are you thinking, sweetie?"asked mom. "Nothing" I said quickly.Woah! Dad got promoted! It was a really good news for me.

That night dad took us in a really fancy restaurant. When dad was halfway through ordering our dinner, I saw a familiar blonde sitting with a brunette girl. And suddenly, with a lot of cursing, I remembered that this was a Niarchos restaurant, and it was the nearest restaurant from the Niarchos mansion. So technically I was sitting in a Niarchos restaurant nearest to the Niarchos mansion and it was a Friday night, which could only mean one thing. My doubts were confirmed when the blonde in front of me turned around to call the waiter. The blonde was none other than Zander Niarchos. Boy...this is going to be a looong night and I'll have a really hard time ignoring him and controlling my temper now that he's sitting so close to us.
