Chapter 4

I woke up by ten o'clock which was late for me. I moved to the bathroom and had a bath fitting myself into the not-all-that comfortable bath tub, letting the warm water refreshen me.

I left the bathroom with a mini towel covering my body leaving my bare legs open. I applied some cream on myself and after that laid on my bed to get myself.

It was Sunday and mom had gone to church. I was not a religious person but I believed God existed just that I do not go to church.

I sluggishly moved to the closet and all of a sudden heard a loud thud coming from outside the window.

I shook and dashed towards the window forgetting that I was wearing a towel which stopped just above my knees.

As I slided the window, my eyes suddenly moved to the corner of the street where I saw a figure hurriedly passing through.

I shook my head in disappointment that I did not find the source of that sound. I was still standing there when a cold wind landed on my bare skin and that broke my trance.

Realizing what I was wearing I quickly closed the window and moved to the closets.

Since nobody was around today I decided to wear very short shorts which reached just above my butts and a very baggy shirt that stopped below the shorts.

Settling on my bed I heard my stomach make a funny noise and then I realized I had not eaten a thing.

Praying internally that mom had left something for me to eat which she does not do on Sunday mornings I walked down the stairs. Much to my surprise I found some cheeseburgers in the fridge, putting it in the microwave to heat I made a cup of coffee to go with it.

Settling on one of the couch in the livinb lounge with the cheeseburgers and hot coffee, I crossed my legs and found eat. While eating I was scrolling through my phone and stopped when I saw one of Maddy photo on instagram. I liked it and continued scrolling.

After I was done eating I cleaned the dishes and went to the couch again this time deciding to watch some television.

I passed through different channels and found nothing interesting, I picked up my phone and went to check on the new school I would be going to tomorrow for my final year in high school.

The name of the school was "Mountain High" and as I looked through the website the school was a modern type of school.

Some of the famous people and personality like the big lawyers, bankers and a lot others brought their children to this school. It made me wonder how and why mom would bring me to this school.

I searched more through the Internet and found out that the school was quite good and had high standards.

Bored of searching the Internet I massaged my temples and hide my face between my palms and then I heard a knock from the door. I groaned and moved my head upwards, gently sliding my hand through my hair which was flowing freely.

I stood up and moved towards the door but stopped in my track realizing the type of cloth I was wearing. After giving it some thought I headed to open the door telling myself that it's just my mom.

I opened the door revealing a boy about my age I guessed. I rather call him a man because of his strong built and how tall he was as he was towering over me.

"Hey" he said to me in a very cold voice and blank face.

"Hi, did you miss your way" I slighted my head to one side and replied him in the same cold voice.

"No, I actually leave next door" he replied pointing his thumb towards the mansion in front of my house. "I just came to borrow some sugar" he continued and I contorted my face.

"I mean no one is home and we are out of sugar" he blatantly lied given that the house was a big house and so there must be a maid or so.

Not wanting to prolong the talk I took him in. He looked around the house and to my surprise did not say anything and he felt like he belonged to this type of living.

"Hey" I hit him slightly by his side, "Here is the sugar" I continued.

"Oh! thanks" he said assessing me from head to toe with his mouth open.

I flushed red at this given what I was wearing. To save my self from embarrassment, I snapped my fingers to bring him out of his thoughts.

"Y..Yeah, I will get going" he said still staring at me.

He himself wasn't that bad, he wasn't the most handsome man I've seen but he surely was handsome, with his nice jawline, pointy nose, black messy hair and brown eyes.

The snapping of fingers reached my ears and I looked towards the source whom had a smirk on his face.

"You see, staring isn't that bad" he said deepening his smirk.

"Just go.." I said and he started moving, "..and carry the sugar along" I continued bending towards one side.

He retreated his steps and took the sugar all the way looking at my free legs.

I shut the door hard behind me and slapped my head with my hands.

"What were you thinking, y..you, ahhhhh!!" I said to no one but my self and ascended the stairs.

Reaching my room, I changed into moderate clothes and felt comfortable in it.

By the time I reached downstairs mom had come in and all the colours in my face faded.

"Hi" she greeted in a soft voice, "How was your day" she continued.

"Mom, you know how my day is always, same boring, same thinking of what you did to me" I said in a rather rude tone.

"Jen.." she tried saying hut I cut her off.

"Mom, you see just let me be" I said raising my hand and she did as I said.

I ascended towards the stairs to lock myself up for the rest of the day when  mom's voice reached my ears and I stopped in my track.

"Where did the sugar go to" she asked looking straight into my eyes.

"Well, mom I..I gave it to the neighbour, he said he ran out of sugar" I stammered a little.

"The rich folks over there" Mom said with a questioning gaze.

"Yeah" I said and completed the remaining of the stairs all the way feeling mom's gaze on me.

The rest of the day went as usual, when it was time for dinner mom called me to eat. We eat in silence again like most days and after that greeted her good night.

I took a bath, dressed up in my nightwear and laid on the bed waiting for sleep to take over.

As I closed my eyes, a picture came in front of me and that was the picture of the guy that came to my house.

I opened my eyes and tried to shake it off. It was weird, why would I think of someone I just met. I realized we didn't even  exchange names, so deciding to maybe tell him tomorrow I succumbed to sleep.
