Life in disguise

Part 16

Kiara's POV

The irritating alarm blew, I woke up, scratching my head, I had a long weekend, and also a great one.

But the atmosphere doesn't feel right, it seems like am forgetting something, oh how I hate that feeling. I kept on thinking, what would I have forgotten.

I just decided to take my bath and get ready for school. Thinking about school....

"Oh shit!! I forgot to do my history homework", I was so positive I had forgotten something during the weekend but I never knew it was this bad, I stood at the mirror with my palms cupping my cheek.

Ohhh, what am I gonna do now?, I picked up my phone and quickly called bianca, I ask her if she had done hers, and she said she also forgot.

I was just so occupied this weekend that I didn't even get the chance to think about school. Oh no, what am I gonna do now?, I really don't want to trigger that mean woman's anger.

That would just be the last thing I'll do.

I quickly remembered Gabriel, yes, he wouldn't forget for sure. I dialed his number, but no answer, maybe he had already gone to school.

I tried again and on the third trial he answered, "hey, kiara, what's up?", he says over the phone, "yhh, gabriel, there's a situation at hand now, I had a thrilled weekend", "yh right, rub it on my face, you didn't even bother to call once during the weekend, well, 'you had a thrilled weekend', is that the situation? "

"Am sorry, I was just too occupied, no that's not the situation, its, I forgot to do my history homework ", he paused for a moment and I waited for his reaction, just then to my surprise he started laughing.

Really? Am in a mess and all he could do was laugh at me.

"Dude am not joking", I said reminding him I still needed his help, "alright alright, come down to the coffee shop close to the school, be quick so I can help you before its school time", he says.

What would I ever do without him?

I quickly rushed down stairs, I really had no time to eat, i called Mr Sabastine quickly and told him where I was going to, "please today be good", I said under my breath crossing my fingers.

I spotted Gabriel sitting inside the coffee shop, I rushed in, not wanting to waste any more time, I sat at the chair in front of him.

"Oh, hey there stranger, sorry this sit is reserved for my friend, you know, the one who forgot to do her history homework, yeah that one", he said pointing to me, and then bursting into laughter.

I rolled my eyes at him, and he then gave me a paper  he wrote the assignment for me.

We were already done and headed back to school, I told Mr Sabastine that there was no need waiting, to drop me off, that I the school isn't fare for where I was, he could go home.

"You know you could have been in a hell lot of trouble today, if not from the help of your savior", he says raising his hands up.

"Okay, would you quit praising your self, or I should just beat you up", I told him and he just smiles.

In the hallway, I spotted Lilith, she was alone, that's weird tho, she never walks alone, well since I have been in this school, she is always with someone.

The thing that made her cry on Saturday could still be bothering her. I tried my best to speak with her but she just wouldn't open up to me.

I spot Jason, he quickly rushed to me, "hey, how was your weekend", he asked, knowing fully well that my weekend was great and I spent it all with him.

"It was really awful", I said bringing my palm to my forehead."really?", his facial expression changes, I wanted to laugh but I would just blow it.

"Yes, I had short nights and stressful morning and there was this annoying boy who kept budging me", I added.

"Oh", was what he said, "am joking silly, it was wonderful, the best", I said and hugged him, thank you was what came out of my mouth next.

"So tell me,did you see jesse this weekend?",he started clearing his throat.

"Whose jes....",he turns sharply to look at me. Just then I remembered I had a pretend crush.

"Oh jesse,I couldn't meet up with him because I was occupied this weekend,we only spoke on the phone",I lied,to cover up,hoping he would buy it.

"Okay, that's..that's nice",he says and I nod

The bell rang for classes to begin,I was so relieved because this was my chance to run away from Jason's questions about the ijesse guy and I was having history first. Mrs Simpson sat at the front of the class, looking angry and pissed like she always does.

I can swear I have never seen a hint of smile form on her lip... Such a human being, she is always looking aggressive.

It felt like hours, I was already getting tired of this class, the bell finally rang for the end of this class, I was so relieved and didnt even waste any moment more.

I went to meet Bianca where the cheerleaders were practicing for the big competition this Saturday.

"Hey", I called out to where she was waving to get her attention, I called her out, I didn't want them staring at me, especially that benjamin of a dog.

I looked around and notice Lilith wasn't among them, I decided to ask Bianca.

"Hey, I don't see Lilith practicing with you guys, where is she? ", I asked curiously. "She said she wasnt feeling so well, that she would join us tomorrow ", Bianca stated.

Its been since Saturday now, or even longer, who knows what happened to her that made her feel so down.

It was almost lunch time, I was already tired of standing watching Bianca and her team practicing. I walked out and went to the ladies.

I was done and washing my hands, when I heard someone subbing in one of the toilets. I quietly peeped through, coz I wasn't sure if the person wanted the company of someone else.

I tiptoed, when the person heard the water stop, I mean, it has to be a she right?, when she headed the water stop ,she immediately kept quiet, I decided to trick her by opening the door and she thought I had already exited the restroom.

She then decided to continue sobbing, I opened each toilet door quietly, and there She was sitting on the floor.

It was Lilith.

What was she doing here?, sitting on the cold floor, crying. Oh no.

"Lilith, what's wrong? ", I asked her with shaky voice, am so emotional.

Few days ago, I didnt give a fuck about her,now here I am sitting on the floor with her in my arms crying.

What could have happened to Lilith, keep the story going, and find out.
