Dear, My Thereafter

Chapter 2 | Feeling Left Out

Claire POV

She does it again, leaving me behind so that she can talk to that Ren girl, what does she even see in her anyway, am her best friend.

I watched them intensively, she's clearly oblivious about the fact that I was just about to tell her my exciting news. Ughh it hurts so bad and I don't get how her face brightens up when she sees her. I've never seen that look on her face when am around. Is she betraying me, please don't tell me that she's going to replace me.

I'm always there for her and I knew her before she does, so who the hell she think she's trying to steal my best friend. She have caused a lot of trouble between Eric and now she's trying to come between me and Tash.

YOU BETTER THINK TWICE BXTCH.

For the rest of our morning classes I tried my best to avoid her even though something was killing me inside, tugging at my heart forcing me to even spare a glance at her but I push that feeling anyway.

I mean I do love my best friend don't get me wrong but am not going to let that unwanted bxtch take her away from me and am also still upset, yeah don't forget that part. Tash needs to know how to be appreciative so am still avoiding her.

I did, this for the whole day and even doing the most obnoxious thing ever, leaving before she could say good bye but it was for a purpose a solid purpose anyone could see through. She did it again, she went to talk to that girl. If only she knew the history of this jealousy.

Tash POV

The morning sun forcing its way through my window curtains, sparkling at my face. I jumped up turning to look at the clock, (please don't let me be late am not ready to die just yet), knowing Aunt would kill me (being hyperbole again) and I sighed in relief 6:10.

There have been an extreme sunny condition since we landed in January, and I still haven't adjust to it yet, I guess its that part of the year where you have long days and short nights.

I took a shower and got dressed (don't get me wrong now am still wearing that long awful gown), heading to the kitchen deciding that am going to have breakfast today due to yesterday's encounter.

Eating the cheese sandwich that Aunt made, something I fell in love with since I came here a year ago, along with my favourite Frosted Flakes. Dipping in my meal enjoying every bit of it. I suddenly heard sounds coming from a another part of the house.

Being the coward I am but a brave coward without any defends, I creeped towards the sound. Realizing that its coming from the other side of our door and thats when I heard a voice which I easyily recognized belongs to Aunt Terry's.

"I've went by her school several times and there was no record of misconduct or conflicts, I even asked a few of her teachers to keep a eye on her and I even made an agreement with the principal to call if anything comes up".

She pause as if waiting for the person on the other side of the line to respond. Who's Aunt Terry talking to? So I dragged myself closer to the door pressing one of my ears against it. I know eavesdropping is a state of invading one's privacy but am already drawn.

" She seems to be doing fine in school Ally, so I guess that I'd have to change those lessons to communication because thats one thing she's not doing and I think our relationship needs to be built."

And then I heard silence, being replaced with keys jiggles then my adrenaline pops in and I can see myself replacing Berry Allen in the movie Flash (yeah that's how fast I ran) regaining my position in the kitchen around the oasis eating flakes with a smile plastered on my face.
