Heads up Tiaras down

Chapter 4

"Claire is your stepsister?!"

"Yep"

"So her mom is a..."

"Not anymore obviously, but a year and a half ago she was a waitress"

One of the butlers approached us. I ordered some tea, and Leïa ordered a salad. Man if my stomach could hold something I would've definitely ordered a burger with fries and a milkshake, a chocolate milkshake. My mouth is watering

"How did she afford this school?"

"The school accepts a lot of smart kids that are... well, not in our level you know?. It might not seem like it but she's very clever, so she got a full scholarship"

I took a long sip of the tea that was now in front of me. That was quick.

"Does everyone know?"

"Of course not! She's my stepsister now, do you know what people will say about my father?"

I siped more tea.

"Why are you telling me all this?"

"Isn't obvious? we have a common enemy here Zoe" Oh no.

"I wouldn't really call Claire my enemy. I mean we haven't got along since I've been here, which is like 5 hours but, I really don't want any more trouble. You know?"

"Common Zoe, I know Americans love drama. I'm just giving you some material right now"

Self-note: Try to clean American's reputation in England.

" If that was a compliment, it was a really bad one"

She laughed.

 "Can I ask you something?"

"Sure"

"Is her mom nice to you?"

"Ugh she is, it's soo annoying" she rolled her eyes.

"Then maybe is not that bad, I know it can be hard to get used to her and Claire, but is your dad happy? I think that's what really counts. Everything else will fall into place with time"

Leïla stared at me for a while.

"Whatever, just don't tell anyone about this okay?"

"I won't, don't worry"

We heard another beep, indicating lunch was over.

"Hey, do you know where's the counselor's office?"

"Will? you lucky bitch, he's adorable. You'll love him. He helped me so much after my breakup with Patrick"

"You were Patrick's girlfriend?!" I felt my heart break a little. What the fuck was that Zoe.

"I was, but that's a story for another time, I have to get to class. Wills office is in the next building, the first room after the park. See you darling"

"See you" I smiled back.

I started walking, following carefully Leïla's instructions.

I was now in front of a big dark brown wooden door that said: D.r  William Coleman. I felt my stomach get smaller. I knew what he would make me talk about, and I really didn't want to talk about it.

I knocked shyly on the door. I heard on the other side footsteps approaching, the golden doorknob turned, the door opens smoothly, my eyes meet a face that I recognized immediately. That's how he knew my name.

"Hello again Miss Carsson, please common in"
