Dear, My Thereafter

Chapter 5 | Trouble

Its been the end of the week now and fives days since I've lend my book to James and he haven't return it as yet, I was starting to worry on Thursday because that was our second Biology class of the week and I still didn't have my book back but to my surprise Mr. Williams was absent and our substitute teacher pretty much didn't care, she allowed us to do whatever we wanted but to be quiet with it. Miss. Kelly sure knows how to be a sweet heart.

I got up from my bed earlier this Saturday morning, wanting to study, aiming to study, craving to study but unfortunately I can not because that wicked ass horrible piece of shi... okay James Ashton still hasn't return my book, I tried looking for him but there was no sign of him in school from the day I gave him my book.

I went to the kitchen, grab a bowl, a spoon and my favourite Frosted Flakes with a bottle of milk. Eating like what seems peacefully, then Aunty Terry pops in.

"Hello good morning" she said smiling at me. I got to admit it since the day we talked things between us has changed, we don't or should I say she hasn't had all those attitude that she would have had in the mornings. Even though I don't communicate as much as I think I should, she still tries to build conversations, which I don't mind.

" Good morning Aunt Terry" I smile back.

" You know you can stop calling me that, Aunt is just find"

" Oh" was all I said. She looked at me for a while as to think about something that she can talk about.

" Do you want to go shopping or to the amusement park, hear they're having this big concert this afternoon" she said before taking a bowl, a spoon and throwing out some of my Flakes.

If she wasn't my Aunt I would have snapped at her the moment I saw her taking up that bowl. I don't play when it comes to my favourites, anything of my favourites.

" I would love to Aunt but I have a Biology test Tuesday and I have to study, maybe next time" I added so that she doesn't feel anyway by my comment. I could see that she was expecting that yes but I just can't, I really need to score a high grade, these are one of my last examinations and I can't take any risk. I need to better myself. Plus I still have no clue whatsoever as to where James is with my book so i guess I'd have to head to the library.

Wait maybe I can use this opportunity to go to the library to study.

" But umm... maybe I can head to the library to finish my studies" I asked.

" Yeah I guess you can do that too, as long as you are allowing yourself to escape the house sometimes no problem hun"

Thank god, I thought she was going to say a big fat NO!. Getting up from my position around the table, placing my plate in the sink, I was about to head to my room when I was stop in my track by Aunt's premeditated question.

" So what about your notes from class Tash, don't you have them with you to study here?" Oops wasn't expecting that, okay think fast Tash, think fast, ummmm....... PERFECT.

" Um... yeah I do but Sir didn't attent class last week Thursday, so am was planning on going by the library to get those notes, to umm... finish studying." wooo, yaaaaay you go girl, I know you always gotch you back, I praised myself mentally but that was the truth anyways though, or one of the truth. I swear am going to kill James.

" Oh you didn't tell me that but okay, have fun studying hun" she comment, hugging me tightly. Okay that is impossible who really have fun studying, I've grown to be able to do this but I certaining don't have fun while doing it especailly when am alone.
