Beyond Your Ken -Book One

Five II

I went home after school and my dad was waiting for me. I headed to my room without a word and my dad called me back angrily. Few sentences will lead us into an argument. I wasn't ready for that. The new girl has been torturing me already in school and I wasn't ready to deal with my dad.

"You are starting that stupid attitude again and I'm not going to take it this time. Now tell me the truth, did you break up with her or not?" he asked.

"Her dad told you everything on the phone..."

"I want to hear it from you." he said in his commanding tone.

"It's over between Hillary and I and there is no..."

"Get her back." he ordered. I've been trying to keep cool here.

"Why are you forcing me to do something I don't want to do?"

"Because it's the only thing I want you to do and she is the only girl I want for you. I don't want you to end up with a girl who is just like your mom." he said angrily and I gritted my teeth. Hearing how my dad talks about my mom makes my heart ache.

"I don't want to talk about this anymore." I went up to my room and crushed things down angrily. My dad makes me suffocate in the house and I hated it so much. The room was big enough but I felt like I was being caged.

I went to school again and had a bad feeling things won't be that good. I pushed Thora away and I didn't know how to make it up to her. She walked in the classroom right before the bell rung. She looked like she has been running. She smiled at Cheryl and waved at her. Her smiles was brightening up my cloudy morning.

We had Newton, our homeroom teachers class and I was absent minded. She took her seat next to mine and had angry eyes. She was fierce in a way that turns me on. Classes was already boring till the principal entered the classroom with Hillary. "Not again." I mumbled and Thora looked at me.

"Miss Hillary will be joining this class from today forward. Treat her nicely and get her a seat." the principal said and they all turned to me. It's my fault? Don't be looking at me like that! I closed my eyes and took in air. Hillary's head was down and she looked confused too.

"Sit next to Levi." Newton said.

"What?" Hillary and Levi said in unison. "No." They said again.

"Okay then. Get to your seat and let's continue with our lesson." Newton smiled to her and she bit her lip. Why Levi of all people? She went for her desk quietly and didn't say a word.

"This class is going to be full of drama soon." Cheryl said. I bet ya!

A week and days passed and Thora had made friends with Cheryl. She moves around with Rick most often and avoids any eye contact with me. We were more like fire and rain. We didn't see eye to eye and I didn't blame her. Hillary glared at both of us and Thora moves away from me.

Thora eyes at me when she sees me talking to other girls and I felt sorry sometimes. I stare at her when she isn't watching and I've been secretly watching her dance in the rehearsal room. I feel tingly afterwards and wanted more of her as the days go by. Cheryl and Levi went for break with her and they sat at the cafeteria together. I took a seat in front of them and Freya and some other girls moved over to me. Freya was talking and I was just looking at her. I wanted to hear what Thora and her friends talk about when they see me like this.

"That is Freya. One of Chris' ex girlfriends. She is too scary so never mess with her. He'll make you a victim that easily if you start having any ridiculous feelings for him." Cheryl said and Thora nodded. She sipped on her juice and stared at my way. I'm not bad Thora.
