So Not Into You

Chapter 5: Twisted Revenge

Chapter quote :

If you prick us do we not bleed? If you tickle us do we not laugh? If you poison us do we not die? And if you wrong us shall we not revenge?

Haya's POV

Alarm's high pitched sound woke me up from my deep slumber. When I opened my eyes I panicked.Where the hell was I but then the events of last 24 hours rushed through my mind and I got up miserably to go to the washroom.

After I was done with my routine I went downstairs.It was dinner time I had slept 10 hours straight after coming from the airport .As I entered the kitchen,I saw my aunt humming to herself quietly and stirring something in the pot. I hope my aunt would be a better cook than my mom because my mom is a disaster in kitchen. I remember when I was 7 years old and mom was cooking spaghetti for me and she accidentally put the kitchen on fire.After that my father finally put his foot down and brought Nana to cook for me.My parents would always be away for their work so Nana also became my babysitter. I miss them so much I sighed bitterly.

My aunt turned towards me and said," Good evening sleepy head! " and gave me a cheerful smile. I couldn't help but smile back at her and I asked ,"What are you cooking ?"

"Meat balls with spaghetti and khus khus salad", my aunt said.

"Okay I'll set the table aunt. "

"Thankyou but set only two plates as Daniyal wont be joining us for dinner.",she said with a frown on her face.

Hmmm maybe there is something going on between Daniyal and Aunt Sophie which I don't know. Daniyal is Aunt Sophie's only child and my aunt said he'll be back from his football camp today but I guess he is not coming today for some reason.I hope it's not because of me as I have Daniyal's room right now and he has to shift in the basement.My Aunt's house is basically a small two story building with two rooms upstairs and a kitchen, dining hall and common downstairs along with a basement. My aunt isn't very rich.After her husband left without even a goodbye she had to work 3 jobs to provide for her family. I feel so sorry for her.Mom never told me Aunt Sophie's financial condition.Maybe she didn't know.

"So when is Daniyal coming back?"

"He is staying for another week".

After dinner, we were sitting on the couch watching reruns of Modern Family which is my favourite show, when my Aunt said,"You know what your story will be if someone asks you about your parents and your past whereabouts ?"

"What are you talking about ?",I asked because I was confused.Mom never told me that I'll have to make up stories to hide my identity.

"Oh I guess Fatima didn't tell you".(If you all are wondering who Fatima is, well Fatima is my mom's name.)

"Mom didn't tell me what Aunt?"

" Well if someone asks you where you are from and why are you here then tell them that you are from Turkey and your parents died in a car accident so you came here to live with your Aunt", she told me.

"No freaking way ! I'll make something else up but I'm not making my parents dead when they are alive ", I said with finality in a 'I'm not taking any more crap' tone.With that said I went upstairs,shut my door with a bang and went to sleep.

I never liked mornings. I am a night person and right now I'm scared for my life.

I'm getting ready for my first day of high school. I have read enough novels and watched enough movies to know that high school is a bitch place for students like me.Well first of all I'm not that pretty. Secondly this all is way out of my comfort zone.What if I do something wrong?I'm gonna be the laughing stock for the rest of the year.
