Memories And Secrets

Chapter 5

When I returned, I did not utter a single word, I just nodded 'yes' or 'no'.

During dinner, which my mom has prepared as usual, I noticed that my dad was staring at me but I just looked down at my chicken and made as if I was not aware. After dinner, I went straight in my room upstairs, taking only my school bag from my study room downstairs and I shut the door; no one dared to knock except Raina, of course!

"Who's this?" I said lamely

"It's me, Raina"

I got up, unlocked the door and then went straight back on bed taking my iPad back in my hands and laid down.

" You know, dad just wanted someone in his life and he found Clara. She gave him a booster in his life and..." She began just as she closed the door behind her.

I cut her straight off.

"I have nothing to fucking do with Clara, it is Sabrina. Simple. She is a life ruiner!"

"But what has she done to you specifically?" She asked, trying to get a clearer view on my hate for her.

"Done to me?" I realised at that moment how irrational my hate is but then my mind locked this thought. "When we were in primary school...she was a total bitch, she was so...bitchy! I don't like her and you know it perfectly!"

"Hum, Hadi you'll have to get used to it and neither-ways you' ll meet her tomorrow at school."

Shucks! I forgot about it, how are we gonna act towards each other? Yikes I don't like it at all.

" I don't know about it. Raina it is very kind for you to care but I just want to remain alone a while, please"

"Ok, take care of yourself. Good-Night!"

"Yeah good night too "

I had a hard time to sleep but I did in the end and when I woke up, I felt so tired!

I skipped breakfast and only took my usual cup of tea and again I avoided my dad. My mum proposed to drop me to school which I non-hesitantly accept. But I was sensing the conversation to come.

"Hadriana, I know you are upset but so is your dad by your behavior. You know, I have pnever personally seen your dad that happy ever before."

"Mom just tell him to give me time to digest this big bulge. It shocking for me. He just told me that yesterday, it's not like I haven't been talking to him for months."

"He really wants you to meet Clara and Sabrina who I know you are less thrilled about."

"Yeah you ain't telling me"

"Show some patience darling. You'll be ok with time."

"Time, time. We must always wait why can't time come faster? Go tell that to your ex-husband too, he seriously needs some patience!"

"Baby you are too impatient, just like him actually!"

I got down of the car and I was trembling, I don't want to see Sabrina. I just don't want to! But at that moment, Fate must be rubbing her hands saying "Yeah we're gonna see that. I am so sneaky!" I was so lost in thoughts about what if she comes and talk to me, that next thing I did was to collide with Sabrina. Boom!

"Sorry, excuse me!" I mumbled

"No, hum, it's ok." She replied. We were both avoiding any sort of eye contact.

Her phone fell and I picked it up. When I handed it her, she looked at me and her eyes were saying that she knew; it was at that moment that I wanted to say something but my mouth couldn't utter a word. We parted... Zoe was seeing us from afar, her face fell off, shocked. When I came close enough to her:
