At Last

Chapter 21: Jade's Confusion

I shared a look with Lin as Naomi slammed around the club room like a bat outta hell or something, she was muttering angrily to herself and I didn't really feel like interrupting her. Rory looked back at us before he hesitantly approached the raging blonde, Peter gave him two thumbs up as he nodded his encouragement, Rory gave him a dry look and rolled his eyes before he turned to Naomi smiling anxiously.

"Uh hey there Naomi... uh say where's Bernadette?" He questioned nervously, probably the only time I'd ever heard the guy use any emotion whatsoever. Naomi slammed the box of games on the desk and whirled sharply on him.
"Bernadette is no longer in this club!" She snapped sharply and I frowned.
"But why?" I question as Rory slowly backed away, slipping behind Peter.

"That's none of your concern!" Naomi glowered and I sighed this girl was high strung today.

"Lin!" A sharp voice snapped as the door banged open and I groaned, great just what we need when everyone's already on edge.
Cheese whizz and tide pod.

"Oh um hi Jenny, hi Tiffany w-what are you guys doing here?" Lin asked grimacing slightly. Ugh they were so cringy and annoying. Tiffany flicked her bright blue locks behind her shoulder and stepped up to Lin, trying to be intimidating but it looked like a Chihuahua trying to t pose a giraffe.

"We're going shopping, you're coming so let's go!" Tiffany snapped her fingers, but apparently Naomi was still in a bad mood because she shoved forward and jabbed Tiffany the tide pod in the chest and backed her out the door, Jenny was actually smart for once and just rushed out the door at the first sign of Naomi's irritation.

"In case your peanut sized brains couldn't tell, we are in the middle of a meeting, Get. Out!" She growled before slamming the door in their face.
"Well club's gonna be fun today." I whisper to Lin who slowly nods watching Naomi with wide eyes.
"Definitely."

I was laying upside down on my couch reading the book Lin had suggested when the front door burst open and my moms and sisters walked in laughing about something.
I went back to my book, ready to ignore them and their loud voices.

"Hi I'm Samantha, what's your name?" The tall girl with the dark skin and almond colored eyes was smiling at me, it was the same girl I'd locked eyes with when I'd been first wheeled into my hospital room. I wonder what she was in for, her thick black hair curled around her face as she smiled so sincerely at me. "Are you gonna tell me your name?" Her giggling tone shook me from my thoughts.
"I'm Olivia." I whisper looking away from her beautiful face. I wish I could be that beautiful, I look down at my thin hands and shake my head, why'd I taken so many diet pills? Why'd I let myself faint in front of my brother and sister-in-law? Now they were going to force me to eat.
"Olivia I like that, did you know your name means olive tree?" I look up at her seeing the amusement twinkling in her eyes. I retorted instantly.

"Since when do you read?" Dana questioned dryly as she snatched the book from my grasp. I sat upright disgruntled by her interrupting at an interesting part!
"Hey give it back!" I snap reaching for it as she starts reading the back of the book ignoring my efforts of jumping up and trying to grab it.

"Ha romance novel seriously?" She chuckled just as my mom came into the room.
"Yeah seriously, now give it back!" I complain and my mom effortlessly snatches the book from Dana's hands. I groan however when she starts reading the back of the book rather than give it back to me.
