CHAPTER 10: YOU KNOW YOU SOUND LIKE A RAPIST RIGHT?

🚣🚣🚣


“You sell your car? Why would you that?” My dad snapped.

I wince, I knew he would react like that the main reason why I didn’t ask him first.

“I got a lot of money from it, enough for mom’s therapy.” I explained.

“We have enough money for it. Why didn’t you tell me this first?”

“Because I know you wouldn’t let me.”

“Of course, it was your car since you started middle school. You love that car.”

“I know dad but I love my family more.”

“Oh Margaux, I don’t know what I’m going to do to you.”

“Dad, I wanted to help okay? Please just this once, accept this money and I promise I would never do something without your consent first.”

My dad exhales audibly as he regards me with a small smile.

“Fine. Just this once kiddo, you better keep your promise or else I will never cook your favourite buffalo wings ever again.”

“No fair!” I whined. He ruffles my hair teasingly and chuckles at me.

“Go to school already. You might miss the bus.”

“Oh no from now on, Lily will pick me up but going home I’ll ride a bus.”

“Okay take care.”

“See you at the hospital later dad. Tell mom I love her and please don’t miss me too much.” I joked.

“I will pretend that you didn’t regard me with your love. You wound me.”

“Oh hush you know I love you too just as much. I don’t need to be vocal about it.”

“I know kiddo I’m juts messing with you. Now go before I make you do the dishes.”

“Alright bye!” I waved, clutching my bag on my shoulder.

“Today you’re going to play basketball.” Coach announces earning claps and hoots from boys and groaned of protest from us girls.

“But contrary from the criteria that we had since the start of this class, I will not grade you based on your scores but on your agility, speed and teamwork. So if your team won that doesn’t mean you will have an A+, it will vary on how your team performs. Understand?”

We all nodded obediently. I actually like how couch put it. Even if we didn’t score for the rest of the game but you’re cooperating and trying really hard you will got no less than C. Sounds quite fun.

“I divide your class into two for this game and since your class has an even number and has the same number of boys from girls I decided to group you just as that.”

“Excuse me?”

“What?”

“Oh yeah!”

“Man this will be fun!”

“I get to grope-“

“I’ll also have to remind boys to keep it in their pants or wish to repeat this class for the next two years.”

“Sorry coach did I hear correctly that you will divide our team based on our sex?”

“Although I prefer the word gender, yes that’s what I said. Any objection? No? Great, GO TO YOUR RESPECTIVE TEAM!”
