Careless (completed)

Chapter 23: Faking them???

I stood infront of the mirror just the way i was half an hour ago. I acted like I wasn't going to school but a red carpet event. I knew I had to look perfect today.

Yes. This cheering team thing is very different. I had to get up earlier than I used to, I had to wear nearly all my clothes until I settle for what's best.

Now, it was the final touch...My lipstick. Glorious! I think I'm ready now.

"Wah! Who are you?" Luke laughed as i walked outside my room. His light brown tall hair slightly over his eyebrows.

"Well, I'm your amazing, pretty sister."

"Didn't know you were a girl." He teased.

"Shut up, Luke." I shrugged in annoyance.

I went to have my unregular breakfast with my parents.

Mom and dad were talking as I came into the kitchen.

Dad in his perfectly ironed suit drowned in perfum and mom in her simple silky clothes and her favourite pants.

"Goodmorning."

"Good morning Lucy, you're too pretty today, what's the occasion?" Mom let out pouring some tea from the kettle.

"I'm one of the cheering team now." I bragged as I took my seat on the table.

"Wow! It's really great to hear this." Dad said.

"Yup." I started eating.

Mom's pov

"So, what were you guys talking about?" Lucy asked and I could notice her lipstick, which I find it so not her.

"Um. Actually honey, Dad has an emergency travel and he needs me with him."

"Oh! When is it?"

"Tomorrow." Her dad replied.

"Okay, you can go. I'll take care of Luke."

"That's not the only problem. We have to stay there for atleast a week."

"okay...no, wait...What about my birthday?"

"We're really sorry. We'll make it up to you later."

"But, you promised!"

"You still have next year and..."

"Bye, guys! I have to go to school." She said her tone totally different.

She got up and slammed the door hard behind her.

"Lucy, wait!! We're not done yet...Come back here." I yelled.

"It's okay, leave her. She's going through her rebelious stage. She is a teenager. She have to be so moody all the time."

"I'm afraid she's really hurt and sad."

"Even if she was...Do you think she'll tell us or even show us?"

"You're right...I surender."

Lucy's pov
