Passion and death

Chapter 11: Better Days

Mia snoozed her alarm clock and saw that Justin is right next to her.

 “Mia, I will be leaving you for today. I and my brother will have to go to Bulgaria.”

She doesn’t want to be away from him as much as possible, what happened yesterday maybe was just the beginning of all.

What if Isabelle knows me?

Will she take revenge?

Will she hate me?

Mia looked at Justin with those kinds of questions in her mind.

 Justin just remained silent and kissed Mia’s fore head.

 “I love you, take care.” He said before leaving Mia.

She looked at where he was sitting and noticed that he’s gone.

 Mia pulled herself up and hit the shower.

Hoping that blood will not come out from the shower, she closed her eyes and reminisces what happened yesterday.

She could have been dead that time.

“Mia, are you already done do you want us to be late?”

Her sister hollered with a high pitch. Mia turned the shower off and quickly changed herself.

She slings her bag and sprinted in the stairs. Her hair is not yet really fixed.

 Her dad is reading the newspaper, her mom looked at her “What time did you wake up sweetie?”

“Seven fifteen mom.” She said as she sits down. Her sister started laughing at her, “Makes sense.”

Mia took a spoon of cereal and inserted it in her mouth.

 Mia trusts Justin that if he will see Isabelle, he will not fall in love with her.

“How’s school so far?” their father asked and took a sip of his coffee.

 He looked at Mia like he can read her mind, her parents still doesn’t know that she has a boyfriend.

“Someone’s quiet.” Their mom said and looked at Mia.

 Mia shook her head and started to talk “Fine father, my grades didn’t become low.”

His father cleared his throat, “I’m glad to hear it.” He said and gave her a forced smile.

He looked at Siolyn waiting for her to answer, she looked at him “I’m still adjusting but I will try my best.”

Their father just kept quiet and started to dial his phone.

 Mia looked at her sister who is having a difficult time in adjusting.

“Do you want me to help you cope up?” Mia asked her sister as they walk going to their car. Her sister looked at her and hesitated.

“Okay then, just let me know if you need some help.”

 Mia said and smiled at her sister. Her sister just rolled her eyes and raised her left hand “Please, I’m not little anymore I can handle it on my own.”

Mia just pursed her lips and was hurt by what her sister said to her, all she wants is to help her younger sister.

She opened the front door and sit down next to her father.

 Her mind just floated and she concentrated on thinking about the possibilities that Isabelle is not the same like her.

That she’s not innocent and loves playing games, it’s the total opposite of Mia’s characteristics.

They arrived in their school, Mia closed the door gently and slowly walked going to her classroom.

Without Justin she feels different and partly alone.

She entered in her room, the boys are flying a paper airplane while the girls are gossiping. They never changed their habit.

Their teacher finally arrived and Mia saw someone behind him, Mia flinched. She saw Kevin, he is more attractive now compared to the previous Kevin that Mia saw when they were younger.

They all stand up to greet their teacher, “Class this is Kevin he is a new student.”

 Mia just covered her face hoping that Kevin will not notice her.

“Miss Magnus, why are you covering your face?” Their teacher said.

 Mia removed her hands on her face and looked at her teacher.

Kevin started to laugh, he looks like Justin the only difference is that Justin has a bigger set of eyes and that he is taller and has a more pleasing personality.

“Kevin, why don’t you take a sit next to Mia? She will also be your partner for later.”

 Their chemistry teacher said and looked at Mia who is having a difficulty to accept reality that the guy that is supposed to be her first boyfriend is sitting next to her.
