Following In His Footsteps

Chapter Seven

Dad was kissing a girl. Dad was kissing a female. Dad was kissing a woman. Holy cheese.

I ran out quietly and found Alan. "Alan! You'll never believe what I just saw" I gasped. "What?" Alan asked. "Dad was kissing someone!" I said. "Is she brunette?" Alan asked, not being surprised at all. I nodded. "Green eyes?" he added. I shrugged. "Yeah her names Amy" Alan shrugged.

"You knew?" I asked. "They've been dating for about two months now" Alan said. I gasped. "What!?" "Yeah we were meant to keep it a secret" Alan said. "Why?" I asked, a little offended. "Because you act like this whenever one of us gets in a relationship" Alan said bluntly. Screw little offended. I'm heaps offended.

"Act like what, Alan?" I demanded. "All googly eyed and nosy" Alan said. "Do not" "Do too" "Do not" "Do too".

"What're you two talking about?" Phil asked. "Hey remember when you dated Rose?" Alan asked him. "Yeah" Phil said. "What was Alice like?" Alan asked. "Uh. I think I heard Austin call me" Phil said and walked away.

"He didn't cause he's sucking face!" I shouted after Phil. "Who's sucking face?" Tyler Carter said. "My dad" I said. "Oh Amy, right? Yeah she's a cutie" Tyler said. "You knew?!" I said, holding his shoulder tightly. "...Yeah..." Tyler said awkwardly and pried my hand from his shoulder.

I groaned and walked away. Today had been a long day. Two hours until everyone goes home. I was walking to the Of Mice bus to chill until I bumped into someone. "Oh sorry!" I said and realised- brown hair and green eyes. "Oh you're Alice, aren't you?" she asked. "Uh... yeah. How do you know my name?" I asked playing dumb. I didn't want dad to think I knew.

"You're Austin Carlile's daughter, right?" she chirped. Nobody's that happy. Not even to someone related to a famous person. "Yeah" I said. "That is so cool. I bet you get to this kind i stuff everyday, right?" she said, but before I could answer she continued. "Yeah I bet you love coming to things like this. You probably whore around with all the band members. You think you're so cute and special, don't you? Just because you're the daughter of a famous person doesn't mean you're all that great" she said.

What the fuck? Who does she think she is!?

"Yeah? Just because you're a sex toy to a famous person doesn't make you all that great either" I said and brushed past her. I felt pretty good. Then I bumped into Jake. "Hey" I smiled. He was with a girl. He and the girl looked at me and then kept on walking. Well. Not feeling so good about myself now.

What's up with today? I got to the bus and flopped on my bed. Today's been shit. Not entirely though, but mainly. Thank cheese we leave tomorrow.
