Chapter 2
I walk in to the school's office.
"Hello dear, the restroom is in the opposite direction. You are going go mess up my carpets!" An old woman shrieks as she runs to me with a hundred tissues in hand.
She wipes my face and hair gently, throwing away every used tissue in the bin. The gentleness in her actions has me gulp down a sob that was threatening to come out as it reminded me of my mother. "What happened dear?" She asks.
"A girl in my class. She did this because her boyfriend sat with me during lunch period.” I say and she rolls her eyes.
"Azuri will never learn. Let me get the head mistress for you.” She says before throwing me a look of pity.
Argh I hate that.
I sit down, playing games on my phone as I wait to be called in to the principal's office. A few minutes go by until I'm called in..
I walk in to an office. The head mistress was not in yet so I remain standing.
"Ah, miss Ferguson. Please, sit down.” The lady says to me and I sit opposite the head mistresses chair.
"I'm head mistress Gellar. What happened to you?" She asks.
"Azuri happened. I would like to know what steps the school takes to combat bully behavior? It is only my first day and yet I've been subjected to being a punching bag." I say making the head mistress to let out a sigh.
She presses some sort of buzzer that has the reception lady rush in to the office.
"Call for Azuri." She says and the receptionist nods her head before walking away. The fact that the school teachers knew it was Azuri without me saying her name was alarming.
"Hello?" I say as haven't read the caller ID.
"Little one, it's Tara. How are you? The school called me about your accident. Should I sue?" She asks and I chuckle.
My aunt was always the dramatic kind. A very busy woman but successful and still so caring. We don't talk much but she checks in on me every now and then, also sends me money which my dad uses. He took my card away after finding out that Tara was sending me money.
"No aunt Tara!" I say and we both chuckle.
"Well I ran in to your father who berated me for sending you money. So it's safe to assume he has your card too right?" She asks and I groan through the phone.
"I'm sorry Tara. I wanted to tell you but he said not to.” I say.
"That's okay. You're almost 18 so your dad won't have a hold on you anymore. Your mother was smart enough to leave a will and most of the money will be accessible to you when you turn 18 and until then, I'll take care of you pumpkin. I've sent money to the school, let me know when you receive it okay? Go shopping and treat yourself. Decorate that awful dorm room and change your style, also have you thought about trying out for modeling now? You won't have that figure forever you know? Trust me. I thought I'd be lucky...but who knows, your mother had a body even in her old years." Tara starts talking and if I dont cut her off, she'll go on and on.
"Tara, I took these pills." I say.
"Oh look at me blabbing on and on! Get some rest pumpkin, text me okay? I love you." She says before the line goes dead.
I feel alone most of the time and even though aunt Tara checks up on me and takes care of me, it doesn't ease the pain that my father couldn't care about me or that my mother died.
Her love will never compare to that of my mother's but I will forever be indebted to her. For still caring even though she has her own family to worry about.
My thoughts are interrupted by a giddy short girl running in to my room.
"Don’t you knock?" I ask and she giggles.
"Not when we all just saw Jaxon Gellar leave your room after spending hours in here!" She says. "Gellar? As in head mistress Gellar?" I ask and the girl nods enthusiastically.
"Wait, he was in here all day?" I ask and the girl nods her head again.
"He was fussing over you. Telling the nurse what to do. He actually had the nerve to order her around and what's funny is, she did as she was told! He ordered her to wash you up, waited outside while she did that and never left your side right after. Must be nice to be so pretty hey?" She asks and I look at her confused.
"What?" I ask.
"Well, you just arrived and snatched Azuri's boyfriend. All the girls are calling you The Wrecker. It's trending on ChatPax." She says grabbing my phone and downloading the app.
We sit together creating my profile and within minutes I was in their schools app. I mean, why couldn't they use the apps we all use around the world?!
The girl left me alone as I read all the comments about me. How I stole Jaxon from Azuri and that I should've been the one to be expelled.
Wtf?!
I bang my phone on my nightstand as anger washes over me. I was not a wrecker, I was far from it. I've never even had a boyfriend or done anything kids my age have done at the sweet age of 13. I'm almost 18 and I'm a virgin in every sense!
How could I be a homewrecker!?
I pull the covers over my head as I force myself to sleep. If I'm going to survive tomorrow, I'll need sleep and two cups coffee but first sleep.
I can grill Jaxon tomorrow and have him make things right.
