A/N Hey guys, so some of you must be thinking that since high school for Azelia is almost coming to an end, the book must end too. WRONG! Nope, there's plenty more stuff left to read and well...you're not getting rid of me that easily. Anyway stay cool and dont forget to share/comment/vote. Asha, out :)
Azelia's POV
Today is graduation day, the beginning of a new end. I'm glad too, hopefully college wont have all the bullshit I've dealt with. Dad and Elizabeth (aka stepmonster) arrived today, gushing about how they've missed me and what they plan to do with me during their short time here. 2 days to be exact...which means two more days of fake love being shared, reminiscing and two more fucking days of bullshit. I cant wait till they're gone...especially stepmonster's laugh. Hyena's don't have anything on that shit. On the drive to the school, they both drill me for the speech I'm expected to give. That and my personal life...
Why are you studying so much? What do you plan to do now? Did you miss us? Are you nervous for your speech? have you made any new friends?
And worst of all: Are you dating anyone?
They both sigh when I remove my earphones for the short time permitted to say no, disappointment clear in Elizabeth's eyes when I tell her I'm as single as a pringle. Well I'm sorry but I don't plan on being a slut like you stepmother! I rush out of the car when we get there, telling them to sit with the other parents so I can give my speech, after the principal gives her long and boring one. I zone out, not really caring if anyone notices since I'm sitting on the stage. I'm out of high school in...half an hour, they cant do shit to me. After she speaks, she calls out my name and announces that i'll be giving my valedictorian speech. Oh goodie!
"Good evening parents, teachers and students of Ridge-field High. Well not students much longer. I'll just be straight with you guys; good luck. I realize that many of you think that after high school is easy and you'll continue to sail along, being happy like always. That's not necessarily the case, seeing as how life is hard. You just have to be strong and power thought it, praying that you'll succeed and ultimately triumph. I'm sure you most of you guys are capable of that, so I'd like to say goodbye to you all. To this all. Before I end this speech, I'd like to leave you with a quote.'The question isn't who is going to let me, much rather who is going to stop me' a powerful quote really. Enjoy the rest of the evening guys" walking away from the stage and joining dad and Elizabeth. They're standing with another couple, smiling and talking amongst themselves. When the other couple notice me, they immediately start complimenting me on the speech and being the valedictorian. They introduce themselves as the Laurence's, making me remember the last name for some reason. Who else has that last name...who? Suddenly the lady taps me gently on the shoulder and says proudly "And that's my son, Jared" making me turn around and see Jared looking just as surprised as me. What the fuck?!
I glare at him and he sneers back, smiling and acting like the perfect gentlemen to Elizabeth and dad. Knowing how much of a slut he is, he's probably undressing Elizabeth right now..Dad looks at me and begins to tell me how he and Jared's father worked together before and were best friends, losing contact after he accepted his new job that caused him to not have time for friendships. And his daughter, me! Elizabeth being the hostess as usual, invites them home to celebrate with dinner. They accept happily making me just about want to shoot myself, killing Jared simultaneously.
---------------------------------------
I sit at the end on of the table, munching on my food while glaring at Jared. On the rare occasions that he isn't sneaking at his phone which is discreetly placed on his lap, he glares back or rolls his eyes. His parents try and make conversation, seemingly nice and decent people. Huh..Jared must be adopted because he's got bad blood and isn't at all like that! His mother, Karen, takes a sip of her wine and asks curiously "So do you and Jared know each other?" making both our heads snap up. I refrain from throwing my knife at his head and nod stiffly, seeing her subtle nod which prompts me to talk further.
"Um well, Jared and me were in the same public school, I'm not sure if he remembers although we weren't that close. But then he moved away and yeah, he later on joined the high school. We have some of the same classes and that's how we met." seeing her smile and look at Jared, who is smiling back at her but obviously confused why I didn't sell him out.
"Is he nice to you dear?"
Now this is the part where I sell him out!.....and yet, I cant. Looking at the way she looks at her son makes me not really want to expose his true identity. not yet anyhow.
Jared looks at me cautiously, making me feel more like stabbing him. I refrain from doing so and instead answer her question, making it sound as genuine as possible. "Yeah um...we're not that close but he's somewhat nice so.." seeing his face drop in relief. I said I wouldn't sell him out...but nothing about Desire!
My lips curl up into a smirk as I add on, "But that girl he dates...Desire? Yeah she isn't the nicest girl in the school...not the smartest either. I heard she's quite promiscuous" making his mother gasp and his father turn to him, surprised. I stifle my giggles as he turns red and glares at me when his parents aren't watching.
I'm just getting started Jared!
-----------------------------------------
"So while you two were watching TV and playing on your phones, Karen and Ben as well as Elizabeth and I have decided; that you two should spend the holidays together. What do you say?" both adults say expectantly. Jared and I sternly say No and list reasons why not at the same time, making both parents..and Elizabeth sigh and turn to each other. "We feel as if Azelia can help you grow as a person Jared and Azelia, Jared can teach you to stop being so uptight" dad says, making me glare at him fiercely. Fuck no!
We all keep arguing and eventually....the 'adults' do what they deem right. They book me and Jared tickets to Miami, where our schoolmates are deciding to spend spring break at. They claim its for the better.
Better my ass!
We leave in a day and let it be known; I fucking hate everyone and everything.
This is hell for me so....might as well be the devil!
