Chapter Forty-seven
Elena pov
Waking up every day to go to school was one hell of a job for me and I had to admit that school was becoming boring.
It wasn’t the academics, not the teachers that made it boring, it was the students around.
As I stepped into the hallway, I wasn’t watching where I was going, when I bumped into someone. I began praying in my heart as I bent down to pick up the book, that it wasn’t one of my bullies.
When I raised my head after packing the book for the person, I was surprised to see it was a girl.
“I am so sorry I was not watching my steps while heading out” She pleaded and I was shocked to know that there were still few people in the world that had morals to beg.
“No problem, I should be the one apologizing, because I bumped into you” She smiled and extended her hands for a handshake.
“My name is Sophia” I shook her hands
“Elena”
“Well Elena, guess you are going to be my first friend in this school”
“You are new here?” I asked, staring intently at her to know if I had seen her face somewhere before.
“Yeah. I am lost at the moment. I have a sister who happened to be in the same class as me and the fact that she isn’t here to help me, is making me irritated” I felt sorry for her. It wasn’t easy on my first days in school, it felt like a living hell.
“Why is she like that though?” I asked
“Well, she is the popular girl in the school and according to her, she has to fix her make-up and look good for some dude she met yesterday” I tried to contain my laugh at the way she narrated the situation dramatically.
“Don’t worry, I will show you around. What subject do you have at the moment?” I asked walking with me.
“A. P Calculus”
“Wait a minute, you are in the seniors?” I asked, looking incredibly at her.
“Yeah?”
“That means we are in the same class. Who is your sister by the way” I asked.
“Tisha” The moment she said that name, I halted in my steps and turned to look at her in disbelief.
“Tisha is your sister?”
“Yeah?” I was about to say something when I noticed Mac entering the hall, looking fly in his shirts and pants. He needed not to dress too much to look handsome. His eyes immediately caught up with mine, and I looked away.
“Something the matter?” Sophia asked, looking around and when her eyes landed on Mac, I could hear the gasp from her mouth.
“By the lords!! Is that dude in my class?” She asked, looking as though she had seen a god.
“Yeah, his name is Mac and I would advise you to stay away from him, his cocky” When he came up to our side, I needed not to see him knowing he had an annoying smile on his face.
“Hello ladies”
“Mac, I have been looking for you” I looked up to see Tisha, coming to wrap herself around him in a tight hug.
“Tisha?”NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
“Oh! I didn’t see you there sister, how did you arrive at school” I watched as Sophia rolled her eyes and simply hissed.
“I survived and luckily I do hope you have seen the dude you were dressing up to impress” I could practically see the look on Tisha’s face, as she felt embarrassed.
“Well dear sister, this is Mac my boyfriend” I was taken aback by the sudden title. Not that I was surprised, but rather I was shocked to discover that they had started dating just within the space of twenty-four hours.
“I thought they were never going to be together again, wow Mac!, not when I thought I already had a chance with you,” I said to myself.
“That’s cool!!!!!” Sophia said with a smile on her face.
“Uhmm… If you would excuse me, I am running late for A. P Calculus class and I don’t want to face another detention” I said, looking at Sophia.
“I see you have also met the nerd of the school,” Tisha said, why does she have to be so annoying at the moment by giving me that stupid tag?
Funny how she thinks I am a nerd when I can be the best definition of the baddest stripper.
“Wait! Elena is a nerd” Sophia asked, staring at me for a second.
“She doesn’t look like one to me”
“Bye,” I said, trying to avoid any further discussion of whether or not I was a nerd.
After A. P Calculus class, we were all waiting for the Geography class, when I suddenly heard a banging on the desk, causing me and the other entire class members to look at where the noise was coming from.
“Announcement everyone!!” Tisha stated, climbing up on her desk.
“So, tomorrow happens to be my birthday and I am so excited about it” I practically rolled my eyes at how dramatic she was.
“I am inviting you all to my party, at my house by 09:00 pm” My ears cringed at the loud cheer coming up from the class.
“So I want you all to come in your mannerless behaviors and sexual attires, and let’s party hard tomorrow!!!” Everyone began to beat their desk as they continued cheering with joy.
The last time Tisha held a party, It never went well. She invited Liam and his gang over to her party, set up a dare game, and tried to make me kiss Liam.
Definitely no, I wasn’t gonna attend her party.
“Hey,” I was broken out of my thoughts by Sophia, who had a cheerful smile on her face.
“Whatsup?” she said.
“Are you going to come to Tisha’s party tomorrow?” I chuckled.
“I don’t do parties” I simply commented. The look of shock on her face almost wanted to make me laugh.
“What do you do in your leisure time then”
“Well, I simply take up novels and read or probably surf through YouTube to see the latest inventions that science has to offer” I explained in a heartbeat.
“That must be fun,” I noticed the tone of sarcasm in her voice as she spoke “Look, take this from me and come for the party” She pleaded.
“But I don’t do parties” I whined
“Well, not anymore dear. If you are going to have me as a friend, then you must learn to do things that teenagers do for fun” Sophia indicated.
“But….” She shushed me “No buts…. Tell you what, why don’t I storm your house tomorrow after school and check through your wardrobe to see the things that you have in your closet”
Was she being serious at the moment? I thought to myself. No one had ever breached my space and now, she wants to do it.
“But….” I halted in my words seeing the look she was giving to me.
“Alright, I will try and make it”
“Not try babe, you are coming. I will be bringing my things over to your house so I can dress and dress you up too” She commented
“But what about your own house?”
“My sister would probably want me helping her with the decorations but I am not doing that stuff anymore. I rather let her do it, so she feels the type of stress I went through last year” My mind wasn’t into what she was saying as I thought about the party.
I have only been to Tisha’s party since I became human from my mother’s womb; sounds absurd, right? But I am not ready to attend one again.
I am pretty much the type of teenager who still had some morals and though my parents didn’t teach me all of these, it was some type of decision I made myself.
There was no way I would not go to the party, knowing that Sophia would be coming over to my house. I refuse to be influenced, I can tell Sophia is forcing her way into my life and trying to influence me in the process.
