The Promise

Chapter 29 - Round & Round

Chapter 29 - Round & Round

I hopped off from my board and dragged my tired self in our house. I threw myself on the couch and groan. Today has been hell and tiring. It's the first day and here I am all stressed out because of some lunatic Asian girl trying to make my life miserable in school. But I'm not the one who gives a flying fuck about what she'll do. I'll always end up winning anyway.

Another person also made my day worse than hell. And yes, you've guessed it right. Anderson. Trying to be hero and all, but he's just making it worse.

Yeah, but if I know, it made your heart thump loudly against your ribcage.

My inner self teased. But no, why would I even? He's only doing this because I'm new and obviously he wants popularity. Although it's kind of cute when him and Dylan were... Wait. DYLAN! OH MY GOD!

I haven't seen him all afternoon, I wonder what happened to him. I picked up my phone and scroll in my contacts to call him. But it was no use, I only reached his voicemail. Hmm, is he ignoring me? I couldn't help but think.

"Sweetie." My soul nearly jumped away from my body when I heard dad's voice.

I sat up and faced them. Somehow they look unhappy. Why?

"Jane, your father and I got a call from your school." Mom said with sadness in her tone. Dad was just shaking his head in disbelief. "The principal called and said you redecorated the Arts Room with paint, attacked her daughter with paint and pour your teacher with paint!"

"Mom! I did not start any of it, I can explain-"

"Just go to your room, Jane Riley Edwards." My dad commanded.
I have never seen my dad like that. He normally listens to me first.
"You're not going to hear what I'm going to say about this?"

"No, not tonight. Room. Now." they turned my back on me. Dad rubbed mom's shoulders, it made my heart crack a little. I felt guilty though it wasn't my fault.
"But dad! It's my first time to get in trouble! At least let me explain-"
"No buts. Go to your room."

I sighed in defeat and did as told. I dragged my tired self, kick off my shoes and tackled my bed stuffing my face with pillow and scream my frustrations out.

I sat up and decided to check my phone, I got notifs from my girlfriends in the States and from Dylan! Oh my gosh he has been MIA lately.

I excitedly opened his message:

Jane, I heard you had a little fight at school today.

I checked the time, it was just about 9minutes ago.

I replied...

Me: Yeah, but Asian started it. Wait, how'd you know?

Dylan is typing...

Dylan: saw the video. Some random number sent it to me and it was hilarious. I thought you were just going to sit there and do nothing.

Oh great, no one but Anderson has that video. Him and I are going to talk for sharing it. God no wonder my mom and dad are disappointed.

Me: Well, I just proved you wrong didn't I? Besides it was easy.

Dylan: Yes, you got the moves. You were so adorable doing those flips.

I blush :"> Dammit Dylan.

Me: Yeah...

Dylan: Uh oh.
