SWITCH

CHAPTER ELEVEN

Chapter song: SELENA GOMEZ- NOBODY

"Okay" I say a little shaky but immediately step out of his room. I begin looking for Aisha who I find in the music room admiring some instruments but before I can say anything she notices how on edge I look and she immediately begins to ask a thousand questions. I tell her that I'll explain everything at home and that we just need to go "now, please" I say with the saddest face ever and she agrees.

We walk out of the house but immediately regret it, we have no way of getting home and it's 10pm. I suggest that we just walk but Aisha's eyes tell me she doesn't want to. She must not want to go walking in the night after what happened to her a few months ago, the poor thing.

I get my phone out of my pocket and call John to see if he wouldn't mind coming to pick us up. He answers the phone shortly and agrees, so we sit on the stair case of my Dad...Caleb's house, waiting for John.

Aisha: are you going to tell me what happened or am I going to have to go back in there and force Caleb to talk?
Me: It's nothing really.
Aisha: If it was nothing we wouldn't be sitting outside his door right now.

Just before I can respond to her, the door behind us opens and Caleb stands infront of us with a confused expression on his face.

Caleb: Why are you seated out in the? cold
Me: You specifically said get out.
Caleb: Of my room not the house.
Me: We're fine Caleb, someone's coming over to pick us up.
Caleb: Well I was going to drive you myself so you can come in, plus we have plenty of room here, you could spend the night here.
Aisha: huh really!
Me: No thank you
Aisha: What! Why not?
Me: because I say so
Caleb: come on Daniella

Before I can say anything a red truck pulls over, it's John. Perfect timing! I then get up and literally drag Aisha's hand knowing if I don't she might just run into Caleb's house. Caleb has an angry look on his face as his eyes meet John, but I ignore him and walk towards John's car.

"Daniella! Daniella!" Caleb repeats sounding angry.

What the hell is wrong with him he literally kicked me out of his house and now his acting like am the one that's wrong here.

John opens the back door for Aisha and , as we drive out of the yard I can't help but look at Caleb who's angry face doesn't fade away until I loose sight of him.

What a night!

..........
Aisha's POV

Stacy: shut up! You were in thee Caleb Ashton's house
Me: Girl I think I need a crown on my head right now.

We both laugh and head to our first classes, unfortunately me and Stacy only share two classes together which are the last two periods of the day so until then I won't see her. She heads off into her class leaving me to face everyone alone.

Without Stacy I feel like am a nobody, it's because of her that people actually know my name. Am not as rich or cool as she is but when am with her she makes me feel so different, huh tenth grade is not so easy these days especially with everyone else coming from rich families.

I actually wonder if things would have been better if me and Daniella just stayed in Africa, maybe I wouldn't have to feel so left out, or if my Mom were still around maybe she would make sure that I have every single thing I need. I wish I knew her before she died, or at least Daniella telling me about her but she never speaks of our parents and when ever I try to talk about our Father she never responds.

I walk into my French class but I can't help but notice the stares I gain the second I walk into the classroom, literally everyone is looking at me, others laughing amongst themselves and most of them just staring.I take a sit in the back role hoping everyone would stop staring at me and eventually they do.
