KYLIE'S ZEAL(REWRITING)

CHAPTER 8

WEEK 9

School was a total different vibe today. The news of how Max had pushed Laura causing her to be admitted at the state's hospital was all around the school. Well, 70% of the information were only rumors and weren't true, but what could I do, I couldn't even defend Max because I too trended for the emotional blackmail of Max which I didn't even know about.

The good thing was that my bond with my teammates had gotten stronger than ever and they had my back all day, being quick to defend me every chance they got today. We were also surprised to see Max in school as most of us thought he would be in police custody by now, am glad he's not. He came begging me about all he had said, I didn't waste time to forgive him and replied that he was drunk and he couldn't control himself. To be honest am happy he came begging, cos' I didn't want to be enemies with my friends and that way, it was easier to get along with him. Finally, the team continued training as usual and we got a new captain since Laura has been hospitalised, Zoe was appointed as the captain of the team, it was only coming to her only that it took longer than expected.

Oh! There is something i'm not saying. I trembled when I saw Sam walked into my class asking for where sit was. He came down to my sit and apologised for not standing up for me when Max attacked me at prom night. I didn't even know what to say, I wasn't expecting him. He said he was sorry and wanted to go out on a date with me on Saturday as a way to apologize. Not that I was willing to go out with him, at least not now, but I wanted him out of my face and so I said YES. He seemed quite happy, he smiled at me and left my class.

What a total different vibe right?

“Go see who's at the door baby" mom calls out to me

“shit! On my way mom"

“I didn't hear that right?"

“I didn't say nothing mom...I'll get the door"

We don't get knocks at our door on Monday's, my step dad wasn't supposed to be home until midnight, even my mom's colleagues don't get to come around until weekend. Who could it be I thought as I peeped through the door to see who was there. Oh, I got more than I bargained for there is a man and a woman standing right in outside our house.

“Mom I think you have some visitors. There is a man and woman standing outside dressed in some expensive office wears"

“That cannot be, am not expecting anyone. Let them in anyway, could be emergency"

“Alright mom" I reply opening the door for the visitors.

“Good evening beauty"

“Good evening sir"

“You must be Kylie?"

“Yes ma'am. My mom will join you in a bit"

“Nope. You're the reason we are here"

I got some pro basketball invitation or something, I got a couple of videos of me playing basketball that trended on YouTube already, that probably would have attracted them I thought. Whoever they are, am about to know

“Oh!" I answer with surprise written all over my face

“Who are these people? I don't think I've seen you before" mom says as she gets down from the stairs

“Yes that's true. We haven't properly introduced ourselves. I am Mr. Ryan Smith and this is my wife Shelby Smith, we're Laura's parents, we've come to show gratitude to you and your daughter"

Oh my! There is surprise and happiness written all over my face right now. I finally get to meet Laura's parent and am so glad that I helped her. Only now did I notice Mrs. Smith holding a MCDONALDS bag that looks really heavy
