Bi-stressed

CHAPTER 22

I feel nonchalant to be home at last. I actually thought they left me there.

I speak to Zac and then check the fake account to see if there are any messages from Luna. Several messages.

*"I'm sorry I was busy whole day so I couldn't speak to you. Plus I didn't have my phone with me."*  I send her a text.

...

I'm kneeling down in the Chapel and I can sense Luna besides me. Anxiety begins to grow and this doesn't seem right. Without glancing at her I rush outside and down the steps. Kim and Delilah are there already.

"Hi." They both say concurrently.

"Um, hi."

"What happened to you?" Kim asked me and they both look bewildered and my eyes drift to who they're staring at behind me. I see Luna walking towards us.

They look at us back and forth still puzzled.

"I was in the Chapel and she knelt besides me."

"Okay?" Kim says and they both smirk at each other.

"What?" I sound half witted as I ask.

"What?" They giggle.

"Nothing." I sigh.

"Hi." I hear Luna's voice.

"Hi."

"I went to meet Sister Teresa."

"We didn't ask." They giggle looking at us back and forth.

What is wrong with them? Ugh they certainly have an idea we were together up there but I left without saying or even looking at her. It didn't feel right. I shouldn't be doing this. We can't be hiding and speaking. For how long will we?

The whole day elapses and evening arrives. We leave by 6 for the play. This time my family and future in laws will be coming too. Yesterday was just for the children's families but today guest are invited.

After highlighting my cheek bones, making them glisten and shimmery, we leave.

As we reach, I'm told to get ready.
Last day to bear with this tight gown and that Nikita girl. I sigh.

"I've already done my make up." I tell the make up stylist. She's not a professional since she made me look ridiculous yesterday, I'm no way getting my make up done from her again.

She helps me attach my wings and I rush outside before I get suffocated by the rush in this room.

Our photography is done by some foreigners who are attending. The lady is so alluring. She's a fair blonde with cerulean coloured eyes. She's fucking tall. Even without make up she looks beautiful.

As I admire her, Luna comes up in my mind. I try avoiding her but I fail.
She's the prettiest girl I've ever known and I'm so jealous of her beauty. Her long eyelashes make her eyes more attractive and her dimples make her smile charming. Her long curls are so beautiful and I'm the only person who can plate her hair up since I know the struggle of curly hair.

I soon catch sight of Kezia, my cousin.

"Hi." I say hugging her.

"Oh hi. What are you...?" She giggles.

"Eh, I'm in the play."

"Oh I see." She has a habit of giggling way too much.

...

After the play, I change and hurry to meet Zac's father and sister but by the time I'm out, they had already left.

"Good evening Miss." I meet my class teacher. I hate her from the bottom of my ass.

"Oh good evening Alexia. This is my daughter."

I force a smile to her daughter. I'm not interested to to know shit about her daughter anyway.

After having an awkward conversation with her daughter, I meet my dad's ex boss' wife. She's very sweet and cares about me a lot even though her husband is a dullard and snobbish person. She puts a thousand rupee note in my hand secretly and places a gentle kiss on my forehead.

...

Zac drops me up to my house and gives me a tight hug before leaving.

I'm home and I'm so glad I won't be going to school the next day. I'm too tired anyways and won't be able to wake up in the morning. I cuddle up in my soft, fluffy blanket. It's so warm and cozy and I immediately fall off to sleep...
