FAITH

Chapter IV

The day is over now. I can finally come home. The family is at home now, they had such a great trip according to them. They went to New York for the week-end because my stepmother had a conference there and they decided to accompagned her. I did not want to. I don't feel really good these days. Everything seems to fall apart in my life and I don't know how to catch it. Every night, before I go to bed, I think about how my life could be in the future. If I am still alive. How my husband would look like, who will make my family exists and however I will look like. I love doing this. And it makes me think of something that someone told me on day : I think a hero is an ordinary individual who finds strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.

" How was your day darling ?" he asked.

I answered him that my day went very well instead of telling him the truth. It was horrible. I learned that I was obligated to do my science's work with a really superficial guy and I did not see Hayes. In fact, I should be pretty happy about it but to be honest, his absence made me understand he is now part of my life. And I did not really want to believe it. He is such an asshole. Like every guy in this world. Except my little brother, of course he is the most beautiful boy on Earth and he is far away from an asshole.

I speak a little with Adelyn before I went upstairs in my bedroom. I have to do my homework, I don't want to. Later. I want to go to sleep and forget about the party, about Hayes, about his visit at my house, about me. It is so complicated. More than I ever thought. Tomorrow is tuesday. But I don't want to see Hayes. I know how it will be and it won't be beautiful. Another day with him and his compliments. Yeah ... While I was falling asleep, my phone rang beside me. I thought it was Aria so I took it as fast as I could.

The phone voice : Hello ! This is Levi Miller's mother and I took the responsability to call you because I found out that you are his partner for the science's project.

Me : Yes, yes I am his partner. And you call me because ...?

The phone voice : Oh yes excuse me, I call you because I wanted to know if it was okay if you come to our house friday night. You could work on your project with Levi and maybe you could help him with his other homework ? He really needs help at school but he doesn' t want nobody to help him so I thought you are his friend. He wouldn't be so upset if he works with his friend.

Me : It would be a pleasure to work with him friday night but Mrs.Miller I am really sorry, I am not your son's friend. We are just in team for this project and ...

The phone voice : Perfect ! Come at 7:00 pm at 445 west amelia street with your school material. Thank you a lot, it means so much for me and Levi's father.

She declined. I was disturbed. Why would her mother call me about this ? How does she know we are paired together ? Did he tell her ? Why would he do that ? I have too much questions in my head now. I probably should go take a shower, it will help my mind and my spirit. Hot water falling slowly on my body during an hour is the best feeling in the world.

You see things; and you say Why ? But I dream things that were; and I say Why not ?

I shut my bedroom's door and slip into the blankets. I finally feel comfort. I take a book I found somewhere in my own mess. Its name; The Here And Now. A science fiction I think. It seems pretty good by its cover. I start to read it. The first page, then the whole chapter. I decide to stop my reading at the beginning of the fifth chapter. I can tell that this story is full of interesting facts. I love it, it really takes me in another parallel of life. It is now 10:01 pm and I need to go to sleep before my dad discovers I am still awake.

" Morning sweetie ! You need to wake up before you miss the bus. "

Uh. School. Again. Alright then, I need to go take a shower, dress myself, eat my breakfast, brush my teeth and my hair and finally put some makeup on. I am finally ready, almost impossible. I take the bus, arrived at school and ... go to my locker. I check my planner, Math and Histories. In direction of my math class, I can see someone walking by me. I don't recognize who it is. When he is beside me, I found out it is Levi.

Him : I am sorry of my mom's call yesterday. She isn't normal. No mother would do this and I don't know why she called you. But I know she invited you friday night and I am here because you need to know you are not forced to come. I am sur you have more to do on a friday night than do homework with me so ...

Me : It is okay, your mother really takes care of you and I think she is doing her job perfectly. And I will be there at 7:00 pm friday night. Anyway, we need to do this science project.

Him : Okay then. I will wait for you. I mean, I am not going to wait for you the whole week on my bed but I mean, I will wait for you ...

Me : I know what you mean Levi ! See you friday.

Him : Yeah, see you friday ...

He really makes me laugh ! He seems to be a great guy, between. Maybe my friday night won't be as boring as I thought ...
