My True Identity

Chapter 10

Chapter 10

I awoke to the loud sound of the wind whistling outside. I got out of bed and went to the window to see gray clouds and rain pouring down heavily. I inwardly groaned and went to shower before changing into my blue skinny jeans and blue button down top. I packed my bag and headed downstairs to find mum already in the kitchen cooking something. I went it and she screamed causing me to scream as well. "Omigod, Selena you scared the living daylights out of me" she said putting a hand to her chest trying to slow down her heart rate. "Sorry, so what are you cooking?" I asked her. She made omelette and we both sat down to eat.

After breakfast I got up to get my shoes. "Mum, I'm going to school. Will you be alright?" I asked her. She looked sad but then smiled and nodded. I hugged her and left for school. As I was walking, even though the weather was awful and should make me feel gloomy, it didn't. When I arrived in school, I met up with my Abigail. "You look awfully happy. What's the matter?" she asked as we sat down in form.

"My mum and I made up. I'm so happy" I replied excitedly.

"Really?" she asked in surprise and I nodded in return.

The first lesson we had was Art. I walked down the gloomy hallways to my art class. Mrs. Susanne asked for the homework but no one did it so she said it was due in one week from now and it better look really good. After we started today's task, Aaron finally spoke breaking the heavy silence between us. "Are you ok?" he asked, his voice barely a whisper. I nodded and concentrated on my task. "So when do you want to meet up?" he asked, much louder this time. I thought about it for a moment then replied "How about tomorrow? I have an idea where we can shoot" Before he could say anything else the bell rang. I quickly wrote down my phone number on a piece of paper and handed it to him before packing my things up and heading out to form.

"So how's your mum doing?" Abigail asked as I arrived.

"She's doing much better" I explained. Just then I received a text from an unknown number. Hey, it's me Aaron J it read and I saved the number under his name. When I turned back around Abigail had a knowing look on her face. "What?" I asked her with a smile on my face. "That's the kid you were hugging in the library, right?" she asked me. I looked at her innocently. "Don't give me that look! You two have a thing, right?" she asked. Shock covered my face. "What?! No, we don't. He's just in my art class and we're kinda close but not in THAT way!" I said defending myself. She rolled her eyes.

"Puh-lease, honey. Everyone who has a brain would know that it's more than just a friend thing" she replied. I sighed.

"He'd never go for a girl like me anyways when they are so many girls way more good looking than me" I told her. Now it was her turn to sigh.

"Gosh, Sel! Cut yourself some slack! You are really pretty" she explained but before I could disagree the bell rang.

As I walked up to the other side of school for History I wondered if Abigail was right. 'Did Aaron like me more than just a friend?....Why would he like me?' Were the questions spinning around my head as I bumped face first into a brick wall. "Oww" I said rubbing my forehead whilst simultaneously 

glimpsing around to see if anyone had saw.

When I arrived at my history class everyone was writing in their books already. "Sorry i'm late" I muttered taking my seat. We continued studying Nazi Germany and I was quite surprised that I was actually participating in class discussions. Ms. Olivia's face showed the surprise I felt. "Selena, I think you deserve a good sims achievement" she said near the end of the lesson. I beamed happily. The other kids snickered but for once I didn't care what they thought of me. For once in my life I didn't want to blend in with the crowd, I wanted to stand out and shine. I decided from the on that I would try harder in all my classes to stand our and achieve the best I could.

Soon after school finished and I was walking.....(more like skipping) home. I was so proud of myself and couldn't wait to tell mum.. I pushed open the door to my house and stood there in shock. All traces of happiness disappeared at the sight infront of me.

After recovering from shock I ran over to mum. She was sitting on the floor bawling her eyes out. She looked like a mess, just like she did when dad was first admitted to the hospital. "Mum, mum, look at me!" I shouted nervously. She was shaking so violently I thought she lost it.

"Mum!" I shouted my frustration getting the better off me. She suddenly looked at me. Her eyes were filled with so many emotions. Anger and fear were the main ones. I gently wiped her tears and held her chin at an angle where she was facing me. "What's wrong?" I asked, my voice barely a whisper. She looked so scared. Just like me. I was scared......scared of her answer. "Yo.......your dad" was all she managed to get out as her lips trembled and she erupted in tears again. I pulled her into my arms, holding her, protecting her. She looked so fragile, weak and vulnerable and my heart broke as the tears finally cascaded down my cheek.
