The Private School

Chapter 20

(ORIGINALLY POSTED 2 JUNE '18)

"Have a good week sweetheart, if you need me, call me" Dad says as he hugs me.

"I will" I say as we hug. Yes I am back at school, the weekend flew by and it's Sunday afternoon again. We didn't really do much together, last night we ordered Chinese and watched movies which was nice.

"Love you, I'll see you on Friday, hopefully" He says as we let go.

"Yeah, love you too Dad" I say.

"Your mum would be so proud of you" He says as he goes to the door.

"I know, she is always in my heart" I say as he opens the door.

"Be good" He says pointing his index at me, I nod and he leaves. I feel my necklace around my neck.

"I miss you mum" I say as I start getting emotional. I take a seat on the sofa as a few tears slide down my cheeks. I look at a picture of her as tears keep flowing. "I'm sorry I couldn't save you, I'll do my best to live a good life, for you" I say. Right, enough crying now, time to pull myself together and sort my things out. I dry my tears and get my bag, I put my clothes away and my phone charger where it lives.

I've still had no word from Stefan, but if things are over between us then so be it, I'm not going to beg him to stay with me, I'll move on over time.

I'm going to have a shower. I get myself ready and have a nice relaxing shower. Nearly half hour later I am done, I get myself dried and dressed. As I leave the bathroom I check my phone for the time but what grabs my attention is a text, it's from Stefan, he sent it about 15 minutes ago.

'When is your date?' It reads. Seriously? No 'Hi how are you, sorry for ignoring you, we should talk' just 'When is your date?', is he being for real?

'Tomorrow after school, why?' I reply. Why is he so irritating sometimes?

I throw my phone on my bed and go to the kitchen to get a drink, I go with a drink of Apple juice. I return to my phone to see that he has messaged again.

'Come and see me before school starts, we need to talk, I'll be in at about 7:45' It reads. So he's going to ignore me for 3 days and then just text me with demands, fine, I'll go but I'm giving him a piece of my mind, I'm not going to be treated like this.

'Ok, I'll be there' I send back. I dump my phone back on my bed, I get my laptop and some school work to do. I go and sit on the sofa and put the TV on for some noise in the background as I do some work.

BEEP BEEP

Shut up alarm! I only allow it 2 beeps before I turn it off, I'm starting to dislike these early starts, I've had about 6 hours of sleep and it feels like I only just went to sleep. I force myself awake, if I fall asleep then I'll sleep until noon. I sit up and rub my sleepy eyes to wake myself up. I've gotta go see Stefan. I get up and dressed, I get myself something to eat and I get my school stuff together, I then go to school to see Stefan.

I get to his classroom and see him sat at his desk looking at his computer monitor, he looks good, he's wearing a waist coat, silver with white stripes, a silver tie and trousers, wait a minute, I'm annoyed with him. I knock on the door and he looks over to me. I go in and he gets up and comes over to me.

"Good morning love" He says and tries to hug me, I don't say anything as I push him away and without thinking I slap him across the face, apparently quite hard because his head completely turns sideways, and my hand stings. He looks at me with a serious look, good he's pissed, now he knows how I feel.

"Now you know how I feel" I say in a serious tone as I lose myself again and lift my other hand to slap him again, but his hand catches mine before I am able to, he has a firm grip, but not hurting me, he did say he would never hurt me, looks like he's keeping his word.
