School, Sex, Love?

Chapter 8

Why the fuck is Logan here? 

How did he get here?

He can't be the people we are sharing the house with.. can he?

I go through millions of scenarios in my head of why he could possibly be here.

I hate him.

Just put on a smile Alana for your parents and deal with it. I say in my head through gritted teeth. I can't upset my new parents otherwise i could be split apart from my sister and i don't want to lose her. Soon i won't be on holiday with him.

We run to the garden and sit in the massive treehouse at the end of the garden. It's so pretty up here. Maybe this could be mine and Christina's hideout. There's a window with a view of the house and i can't help but pull out my shitty nokia brick and take a picture.

We sit in silence for a couple of minutes breathing heavily from the fast run we just had. Christina's the one to break the silence.

"Who was that guy Alana?" Christina asks with a curious tone.

"Oh just some guy i don't like?" I try and sound casual even though i was just screaming at him and the whole house probabaly heard. Shit. My parents probably already hate me and they've only had me one day. Urgggh why am i such a twat.

"Oh, you didn't seem to like him very much?"

"You could say that" Silence floods the room again but this time i'm the one to break it. "Maybe this could be our hideout this holiday where we could just talk."

"Yeah..maybe" She sounded distant when she said this. Her voice was almost unfamiliar.

"Alana?"

"Yes"

"Is he one of the people that bullies you?" She asks even though she knows the answer. I look down at my hands not wanting to face her question.

"Maybe we should just go back inside."

=============================================================================

When we get back inside there is no sign of Logan and relief floods through me. Hopefully he won't get in my way.

Me and Christina share a room and we sit opposite eachother just sitting and doing nothing else. I'm scared to face her questions. Luckily i'm saved by the silence when mum calls us for dinner.

We go downstairs and make our way to the new-looking furnished kitchen. It looked so modern and had deep purple and white opposite painted walls. It had pillars with purple lights shining through and black swirls. The kitchen oddly reminds of what i remember of the kitchen in the big brother house.

When we get there everyone is already sat down at the large table in the centre of the room with wooden chairs. Logan is sat at the head next to his parents and my parents are opposite his parents. Christina sits next to mum and i sit at the other head opposite Logan. We eat in silence while mum and dad exchange light conversation about finance and stuff with Logan's parents. When i look up from my food i see Logan staring at me giving me and evil smirk. A smile that said I'm going to ruin your holiday, just you wait. It was creepy.

He swiftly turns his head towards the man next to him who i assume is his dad. He rudeky interrupts his and my dad's conversation by saying.

"Dad, how do you know these people?" His father gave him a weird look. "Just out of curiosity"

"Oh well me and David have worked together for years so we thought it would be a good idea to finally have a holiday with them and since they have their newly adopted children we thought it would be great for the kids to have a great time." The man said. His voice was deep, deeper than my dads but less hoarse.

"Oh ok i was just wondering" He says once again smirking at me. I look down at my plate of food that has seemed rather interesting to me this whole dinner as i've been looking at it non-stop to avoid being social.

"Maybe you and the girls could go to the nearby beach tomorrow Logan while the adults talk about boring stuff." The man adds. Oh no! I'd rather pluck my eyelashes out one by one than go out for the day with that beast sitting across from me. Especially with my sister.

"That's a great idea" Logan says in a fake happy voice that i'm suprised i only heard. "I can get to know them seeing as i have never seen them before in my life" He says grinning like an idiot and emphasising the last words. I wish i've never seen him in my whole life. "Whats your name he says looking at me. 

"Alana" I say blandly "And i guess your name must be Logan," I say through gritted teeth."As thats what your dad called you because there would be no other way that I could know that"

"Er" Dad interrupts. "Do you guys know eachother?"

"No!" We both say in unison both looking at my dad. This couldn't have gotten any worse.  But i'm gonna walk out of hear with my head held high. I turn to Logan's parents and say

"Thankyou for the lovely meal" I hear Logan snigger as soon as the words come out. "Would you excuse me?" I say politely before standing from my chair and walking out of the room. I probably look like a tomato and blood is running throough my cheeks.
