10 » DADDY'S LITTLE PRINCESS

74 days before.

Out of nowhere, Miles grabs hold of my hand. I jerk my head up and stare at him. Miles intertwines our fingers, smiling at me with a little bit of a twinkle in his eyes.

I smile also, but it turns into a grin. Miles leans his nose against mine, then his lips brush gently against my own until I press my lips firmly to his.

There's no doubt about it that it feels weird kissing someone who yesterday was just my best friend. Now we're more than friends-I think.

The suddenly I heard footsteps, and I pulled back. The doorknob for my bedroom door moved, then my mum entered with the washing basket.

At the sight of Miles, she raised her eyebrow. I stared at her, unable to speak nor say anything.

Miles on the other hand could, and he rose to his feet, indicating his departure.

"Well," he said "I must be going. Nice to see you, Mrs Lee."

"I'm divorced, Miles," she scowled "And nice seeing you, too."

My mum was still standing by the door, her eyes watching as Miles pulled open the bedroom window and disappeared out the window.

When I turned back to her, she turned on her heals, arms crossed and stalked out of the bedroom, slamming the door shut. I jumped as it slammed shut.

"You're grounded for another two weeks now, Taylor."

I slouched, leaning backwards groaning.

"Urgh, fine."

I've been grounded a few times in my life. It has honestly never affected me. I know I totally deserved the punishment I was being given.

You're probably wondering about my mum and father being divorced. It happened six or seven years ago, they would fight like Miles parents, maybe even worse. Finally my dad had enough and left. He didn't come back. My mum got the divorce two and a half weeks later. I haven't seen my dad since he walked out of the house.

The next week had passed, but I wasn't excited to go back to school. On the bus, Miles gave me some pretty helpful information.

"Oh and for the heads up," he started "Fern wasn't suspended. Just sent home early to 'cool off'. Turns out, her daddy is the vice principle."

Add this to another reason why I hated Fern Andrews.

"Her dad? That's fucked up. I can't believe I get a suspension and she gets sent home to cool off!"

Okay, so I bet you're all wondering about Miles and I. We are officially together now, but we don't want anyone to know. Everyone's pretty much use to the best friend thing we had, plus rumours will circle like crazy about us if someone found out.

As for Fern, when we entered the school building she was standing with her group of friends. First sight of me, she avoided eye contact not a second later. I on the other hand glared at her, knowing she could feel me glaring.

I hope she knows I know she's the vice principles "daddy's little princess".

Hiiiii 😋

Miles and Taylor are now a thing.

Finally!

And I bet we all hate Fern a lot more now huh? 😉

There's still a lot more to happen, Taylor and Miles is just the beginning of my plan for this story. I've had this planned for now seven months.
