Not So Average Life

2- Jay Carter

I froze on the spot not wanting to go in.

"Is anything wrong?" Rose asked me. "Do you not like it here?"

"Uh n..no it's just that...." I hesitated "can we just eat somewhere else? Pleaseeee"

"Come on honey we just reached here, plus I'm really hungry" dad said. "I'll buy you desserts afterwards?"

"Oh fine" I replied giving up on trying.

So we went in. While walking to our booth I kept trying to avoid eye contact with Kathy and her friends trying to not let them see me by hiding behind my dad. But my plan completely failed when the only booth available was beside theirs. So we had no choice but to sit there. Jessica quickly spotted me and soon they were whispering and pointing fingers at me.

"Hey uh you guys order first I'm gonna hit the washroom first." I said as dad and rose started ordering their food.

I quickly regretted the decision when I went in the washroom and saw Kathy and her friends following in.

"Hey what are you doing here bitch?" Sherry said in her bitchy voice "wait are you a stalking us? Oh my god you STALKER!" She shouted dramatically.

"Just...I'm just gonna go" I quietly said

"Who said you can go?" Kathy and her friends walked close and surrounded me.

A kicked came right to my stomach as I fell forward on my knees. I winced at the pain while Kathy yanked my hair up and leaned in close

"No one likes you bitch, why don't you just do the world a favour and kill yourself" Kathy said right to my face.

She slammed my head towards the wall and then she and her friends walked out the washroom chuckling with each other. I quickly tried to fix my messed-up hair and clothes in an attempt to not let my dad and Rose see me like this.

What is wrong with me! I really hate myself. Hate that I'm not able to stand up for myself.

"Hey what took you so long?" Rose asked looking concerned.

"Oh it's uh... it's nothing" I said. The girls are smart to only leave bruises at places where it's not very noticeable.

When we reached home I went straight into the shower. It was the most relaxed I've been all day. The shower is the only place where I'm all alone without any distractions.

*knock knock*

Ok, with a little less distraction.

"Hey honey can you come down after this me and Rose has something we wanna tell you". Dad said "just hurry don't keep us waiting ok"

"Ok dad" I yelled back from the shower.

I quickly bath and went downstairs. I wondered what my dad is gonna tell me.

"Emma come sit here" Rose smiled. "Ok so we're going to have a family dinner next week"

"Oh ok" I said without thinking " Wai...wait did you said family?"

"Yes, me and Rose are getting married in three months" dad said excitedly. "So we'll have a family dinner next week so you can get to know her sons better.

"Oh my god I am so happy for you dad." Then I paused

"Wait ... did you said, sons?" I asked thinking I heard wrong or something.

"Oh didn't your dad tell you I have six sons. And I think five of them are in your school" she said happily "I'm sure you've met them but it's ok you're gonna meet them next week anyways. You're gonna have 6 brothers isn't that exciting!?"

I was genuinely happy for my dad, but a small part of me does feel like we were betraying my mom.

I was also surprised, almost freaking out at knowing I'm gonna have not 2 not 3 but 6 FREAKING STEPBROTHERS. I didn't know if I was nervous or excited. Knowing the fact that they go to my school maybe I finally I am gonna have some friends.

*Beep beep Beep beep*

"Ugh it's already 8?" I said feeling annoyed.

I didn't want to get up; I didn't want to go to school; I didn't want to face another day of bullies. I just laid in my bed looking at the ceiling until...

"Emma! Young lady you better get down right now before you're grounded" dad shouted from downstairs "you're already 20 minutes late!"

I successfully reached my school in time. I went to my first class and found out Kathy was absent. I was literally dancing my happy song inside. My day started out really great, that is, until lunch.

*Ringggg*

I can hear kids down the hallways shouting.
So I went to lunch ..... alone. Like always. While queuing up for the food I heard some fighting at one of the lunch tables. I received my food but I was still paying attention to the fight until I turned around and bumped into someone, not just anyone.

Jay Carter.

"Watch where you're going BITCH!" He shouted as He pushed me really hard. I fell to the floor, unsurprisingly, considering how well built up he is.  Then as I got up only I saw...... that my lunch was splattered all over his shirt, and he just had to be wearing a white shirt out of all days.

It's not really anything against me, he acts like that to pretty much anyone who he wants to, because he thinks he owns the school. Well, he kinda does since his mom is the biggest funder of the school.

He stared at me intensely like he was going to kill me. He would actually. I could feel his cold icy blue eyes piercing through my soul. My lips quivering in fear.
