Mia's Untold Stories

Chapter 9: Complicated feelings

Drama, drama, drama.
It's been three days. ONLY THREE DAYS!!!

After my visit to my aunt, we visited both my sisters and returned home. You haven't missed a thing, I just never told you about my eldest sister. Her name is Bianca.

Cindy sent a few parcels that dad and I had to deliver to Bianca. Dad seemed more excited than I am and decided to tell my sisters about the agreement I made with my aunt.

Tracy was happy for me, but Bianca didn't seem at all interested. After all I help Bianca's kid, Emily with work all the time.

Anyway that was three days ago. Tonight at dinner dad decided to tell me and mom about something that occurred.

While visiting Bianca today, she told him about a call she had with Cindy earlier today.
She called Cindy to thank her for the parcels, but while on the call she decided it's an excellent time to ruin my life, again.

I don't know if it's jealousy or just pure spiteful behaviour. I understand that she studied and she's a qualified teacher. It's no excuse for her behaviour.

She decided this would be an excellent time to refer my aunt to a lady she used to work with, Mrs Khan.

Mrs Khan is a sweet old lady that recently retired. I used to help Bianca and her with extra work at school last year. I have absolutely nothing against Mrs Khan, however Bianca was my problem.

Everyone knows I'm fully capable of managing a nine year old and her school work. The money I was planning to earn was going to be split between buying some data to upload a few poems on Facebook, while the rest of it was going straight into savings for me to go study.

Instead Bianca, chose to send Mrs Khan's number to my aunt and told her she doesn't charge much and has more than thirty years teaching experience.

In the long run I understand having a qualified teacher would be better for my cousin, but for the next three years I'm pretty sure I could help just fine.

Either way, Cindy called and still wants me to help tomorrow, so I'm hoping she decides to still let me help Danae. Diego has been crying to see me as well, so if she's considering choosing Mrs Khan over me, I really hope Diego can convince her otherwise.

I didn't want to let this get to me, so I started listening to music.

So I told Roxy a few nights ago, that I was slightly missing William since I started watching Aladdin. She agreed with me that he looks a lot like the character. Anyway, she sent me William's number.

Also I couldn't talk to Roxanne about this incident with my sister, because she's been awfully distant with me, again. While Sumaiyah and I barely speak at all.

I couldn't sleep, because I had a lump in my throat from what my dad had said, but as usual I had to pretend everything was perfectly fine, so I quietly went to my room with a smile on my face.

William and I have been speaking for the past four days and now that I think of it, it really isn't that long.
Turns out I was wrong about him.

Two years ago I was convinced his just your average naughty classmate; the type you don't really socialise with, not necessarily a bad influence, just the type you don't usually hang out with.

For the past four days I actually took some time to get to know him and I'm quite amazed. He read all my poems the night I mentioned it to him and he interpreted a vague poem into my exact thoughts.
Turns out he enjoys poetry, almost as much as me.

He hadn't messaged me all day and I didn't want to seem annoying, and I had already casually mentioned something random earlier about one of my poems. The message didn't go through, so I was really disappointed.

I couldn't help but think about him most of today. It's weird. I never thought I'd be dwelling over his smile.

What the hell is wrong with you Mia? A few days ago you wanted to prove you don't need a man, but here you are dwelling over some guy that's not Joseph. You letting the male species dictate your life.

I hate to admit it, but the little voice in my head is right. Why am I crushing on this guy?

His actually pretty sweet and a relationship with him should be more than just a rebound.

I decided I should upload a poem, but my feelings were mixed, fear and butterflies with a bit of anger towards my sister.

I turned my phone on to find a message from William. As much as I'm hurt from all the things around me, his a pretty good distraction.

Roxy said if I end up with him, I should tell him she says he shouldn't hurt me. Isn't that what all best friends and siblings say?

If I didn't know better, I'd say I might be having a really small crush on a guy from my past...
