"How are you handling everything", Kemka asked during the fourth period in school. He and Jane Ann had been my eyes and legs in school asides the Festus. I was zoning out of classes and alcohol had seemed to be my greatest comfort.
It was already two weeks since mum was buried, we had the stupid meeting and I met the diary owner. Turns out it belonged to her twin sister who she didn't want to talk about. I couldn't call her my friend because I barely knew her, but we smoked together on days I couldn't control my emotions.
"Dude", Kemka tapped me to get my attention
"I am honestly doing fine", I lied with a big smile on my face. It was getting very easy to pretend all was right. I keep using the present tense for mum and dodge my dad as much as i can.
"What about your sister? She seems too excited for someone that just lost their mum", he whispered as the Maths teacher entered the classroom. He was correct because Rory had been avoiding me and clinging to Nelson which was so strange.
"Turn to page 104 in your New General Mathematics", Mr Kabo said but as usual I blocked out on whatever he planned say and stared into nothing till it was lunch time.
"Piyo I need to tell you something", Rory's voice called me back to earth, she looked terrified of whatever she was going to say but Cammy interrupted us with a worse expression than Rory. My dad couldn't be dead too.
"Rory I am truly sorry but I have to speak with him it's urgent", she begged clearly wanting to let go of whatever made her worry this much.
"Why are you this shaken up", I asked and walked her to my secret hide out. Apart from Fayo, she was the only person that had come here with me.
"My parents' divorce has been finalized", she cried and I hugged her because in a way I understood what she was going through. The battle on who she'd stay with was the next fight she would have to deal with and knowing Cammy, she will definitely breakdown.
"I am so sorry baby you will be fine", I pecked her lips and held her close but suddenly it dawned on me; if the divorce was finalized then the court already stated who she had to be with. Judging by her family issues it was most likely her dad since her mum was unstable financially, meaning she was moving to London.
"You are moving aren't you?" I asked with my heart broken into a million pieces. It wasn't her fault but I was mad.
The thought of losing two amazing people in my life caused panic to trap my lungs and make me cough. I stayed far from her trying to catch my breath and grasp what was going on.
The tried to take Rory,
Mum left.
Now Cammy was leaving.
I needed a smoke and a powerful one at that so I texted Venice to pick me at my school rudely ignoring an equally heartbroken Cammy. Her tears guilt tripped me so I pulled her close and hugged her. We stayed that way for a while still we heard the bell ring for the end of lunch break.
"When are you leaving?" I asked hoping it was later this month
"My flight leaves by 8pm", she answered with teary eyes and pulled me for another hug but broke it when my phone beeped. Venice was outside.
"We should get you back to class", I smiled and dipped for a kiss. "I love you", I cooed and rubbed my nose with hers making her chuckle.
"Piyo we really need to talk", Rory intercepted Cammy and I. now I was really curious to know what was happening but Venice was outside and she hated to wait.
