BY RUTHIE LEE đ¸đ¸
I tried to pull out from Benâs hug but his grip was too tight,
âcanâŚcan you let go of me now?â I sutter and he quickly letâs go of me of me and said âIâm sorryâ
âso Iâm really, sorry about your mom, I shouldnât have blame all this on you, the only person I need to blame is my dad, heâs the crazy one, i should have known you know nothing about all this Iâm sorryâ I said and he placed his hand on my shoulder
âItâs okay, you donât really have to keep apologizing, well it is sad that my momâs dead but seriously I donât know her that much, it like she didnât want me, she just took me to my aunts place to stay and I didnât think she was ready to take me back⌠He paused and sighed and let go of me.. And then continued
âand then the night of my ninth birthday, she told me Iâm going to my auntâs place to stay, and when I asked her why she got angry and didnât reply me.. But when we got to the bus station she told me I was a mistake, that she giving birth to me was a mistake, I didnât take the word in me that night or the next day, but as I start to grow up and understand things better, I realise my mom never liked me, not even from the start it was only dad who actually liked me, my mom made the people around me hate me so much that I just felt like a loner until I went to my aunts, she liked me but her two kids didnât so it just felt the same.. Well but after all sheâs done I canât do anything, I canât actually find the gut to hate her because sheâs my mom..â he said and and sat down gently on his bed, while I stood like a statue staring at him,, oh goodness I didnât know what he had gone through and I was treating him badly,
*** youâre just like everyone else treating me like Iâm this basterd son**** I remembered his words and I felt like crying, how can someoneâs mother abandon her own child, and I have been treating him badly too.. I feel so bad for him.. He has gone through a lot and
âDaisy, are you okayâ Ben asked standing up.. J
âwhat.. I asked but my voice comes out low .. And I realise that thereâs tears on my face, dammit.
âwhy are you crâ
âOh nothing, it just.. Well itâs nothingâ I cut him off and immediately clean my tears.
âlook, Ben Iâm sorry, for eve for treating you badly and you know.. Iâm really sorryâ I apologized and he smiled
âitâs okay, itâs actually okayâ he said and I nod.. âokay well want me to help you set upâ I asked,
âno thanks, I can manage, just go rest, or you can eat dinnerâ he gro-ned and I nod⌠And walked out of his room, I met my dad in front of the door grimacing at me, I looked away and walked passed him.
Wow Ben is really something else, after all heâs mom had done he still loves her, he is one nice guy.. How would i even feel if all that happened to him happen to me..!!
I ate a small part of the pasta he made and went back to my room.. I opened another of my novel and starts to read..
It was 8:30pm I was still reading my novel when my mom walked in my room..
âhey mom welcome back,â I said and sit up
âhow are you sweetie, have your day been good?â she asked and I nod. ..
âso have you eaten dinner, or should I just order a pizza for youâ she asked âitâs okay Iâve eaten dinnerâ I tell her and she nods
âso.. Is he here?â my mom asked quietly referring to Ben..
âyeah, he actually made dinnerâ I tell her and, she suddenly wore a confuse look ..
âoh you two have gotten along already?â she asked, and I nodâŚ
â..Noelleâs deadâ I tell my mom and she suddenly Turned to me, she only knows that Noelle had an accident but didnât know sheâs gone
âoh my Godâ my mom said, sympathy filled her voice, she is emotional âpoor ladyâ she said and held my chest
âpoor lady? She tries to screw you and dadâs marriageâ I tell her in a loud whisper
âwell but still I still feel bad for her, and to talk of Ben, heâll be so sadâ my mom said
âactually ben didnât even know about all this, he just found out actually, from me?â I said
âHuh?â my mom tilts her head, and I sighed and began to tell her everything and by everything I mean everything
âoh my God Noelleâs a monster how can she say that to a poor little boy, how can she just abandon her own child, what kind of mother abandon their own childâ she said and I sighed
âBen must be going through a lot, I canât believe he was treated like an outcast his wh0le life, Daisy in here make sure he gets the best treatment make sure you act polite around him okay!â my mom said, sheâs being the over caring mother today, oh well I can learn to leave with that
âyeah, sureâ I said and laid on my bed
âIâll go see if I can have a conversation with himâ my mom said, tapped my leg and walked away, I sighed and went straight to the bathroom, I brushed my teeth and then changed into my pajamas and finally fell asleep peacefully with no shouting and yelling from my mom..
*
The next day I woke up and stretched lightly, I walked straight to my bathroom and brushed my teeth, then take my bath and picked an outfit, I wore a tight blue short, and a long sleeved elastic white top..
I brushed my hair and grabbed my backpack.. Just as I open my door to walk out, I. Bumped into Ben
âoh hey goodmorningâ he said
âgood morningâ I replied
âso.. I made breakfast and I was just wondering if youâd like to have some before going to schoolâ he said
âI wish I could but Iâll be late, Iâm sorry and my ride is going to be here soonâ I tell him and walked passed him.. He trailed behind me as I walk down the stairs,..
âso ..dad says Iâm starting your school tomorrowâ he announces as we both stood in the living room
âwell thatâs great news, youâre in your final year right?â I asked
âof course, do I look a twelve year old to you?â he teased and smiled, my stomach grumbled and he heard it..
âsure you donât want to try out breakfastâ he asked with an arch eyebrow, well.. I sure do.. I walked to the dining table and grabbed two slice of bread and shoved them in my mouth and diluted it with a mug of tea and water..
âyou have really big appetite for a girlâ Ben tells me
âyeah I take after my motherâ I tell him and he smiled
âyour momâs niceâ he said as he walk me to the door..
I heard the sound of Lucas motorcycle and a small smile formed on my face.. Thank goodness
âso my ride is here, and I gotta go see you after schoolâ I said and before I could open the door the door he already did and I smiled at him.. I walked out and so did he, Lucas waved at me and starts to unbuckle his helmet..
âwhoa, so you ride in that?â he asked referring to the bike
âyeah, whatâs wrongâ I asked
ânothing but that is sick, sick in a good way.. But who is he anyway, your boyfriend?â he asked and smiled ..
âLucas is just a friendâ I tell him and scoffed.. âso letâs hit the road Daisyâ Lucas said as he walked close to Ben and I
âhey Lucasâ Ben greeted like heâs known Lucas for ages..
âuhm.. Hi.. I guessâ Lucas replied and then turned to me, he smiled and grabbed my hand âcome-on weâre going to be lateâ he said and I nod..
We both started to walk away and I turned and waved to Ben
âbye.. See you in schoolâ he said and waved back..
I got on the motorcycle with Lucas and he drove me to school,
School was busy as the usual way I know and we both head to AP English together that morning..
âso who was that dude from this morning at your houseâ Lucas asked as we both went back to our homeroom (class)
âwell heâs someoneâ I replied vividly
âI know heâs someone, like who is he to you and why is he staying at your houseâ he asked
I mean duh, canât he tell weâre almost siblings couldnât he see the resemblance somehow
âwell Ben is.. Well heâs my step brotherâ I said
âso wait, now youâre a living with your step mom or step dad?â he asked
âwell Iâm actually living with my real parentsâ I tell him
âwhat? I understand then how did he beca..
âcan you just stick to the fact that heâs just my stepbrother because its actually long story and Iâm not In for long talksâ I cut him off and he nods.. And suddenly kept quiet
âokay well heâs quite a charmâ Lucas said with a smile..
âeww what are you a g-y now? Are you inlove with him or what!â I said sarcastically and he burst into laughter.. âno daisy I just said that to make you feel better.. â he said and I shrugged
âyeah heâs charming I admitâ I said and he nods..
Just then three girls ran past us immediately and one of them hit me and she didnât even turn back to apologize
âlawd knows what the hell theyâre running for I bet itâs something stupidâ I said angrily and picked my book that fell down..
âsorryâ Lucas said, and I looked at him âwhy are you apologizing to me when you didnât do anythingâ I asked and he shrugs..
Suddenly we start to hear scre-ming and murmuring from outside..
What the hell is going on.. I thought
âhey guysâ we heard Johnâs voice from behind and turned
âheyâ Lucas and I said at the same time.. âdude do you know whats going on outside?â Lucas asked
âyeah, just a senior who started school today and all the girls are going nuts for himâ John explained and my eyebrows arched
âthatâs crazyâ Lucas laughed
âyeah he just overshadowed my handsomenessâ John said and Lucas rolled his eyes.. âcome see for yourselfâ John said and we all moved to the window in the hallway and looked outside and there was Ben entering the building with everyone staring at himâŚ
âyouâve got to be kidding meâ I said.
EPISODE 8
âthatâs benâ Lucas said and I glance at him and nod.. I mean yeah I sure can see that.. Why is everyone suddenly blown off by Ben heâs not that handsome to me
âyou guys know him?â John asked us and we both nod
âheâs my stepbrotherâ I said and Lucas nod
âwow beauty does run in your familyâ John said, tapped my shoulder twice and walked away..
âthis is so not goodâ I said
âwhat, you should be glad your brotherâs popular on his first day of schoolâ Lucas said and I looked at him and walked to class, he walked in after me and we both sat down on our seats
âso did you see the group chatâ Lucas asked
âyeah I did.. â I replied and he nods, peoples start to enter the class and voices filled the wh0le classroom, *did you see the new guy?* *heâs charming and heâs a senior* *thereâs a new guy heâs a senior* *heâs breathtaking* *i love him already* *i bet his girlfriend must be pretty* *heâs a heartthrob* *whatâs even his name*
âoh yeah, I almost forgot my parents are out of town and Iâm having a party this weekend and youâre invitedâ Lucas said with a small smile and his blue eyes sparkled
âoh a party?â I said timidly
âyeah just a small party for me John, Dylan Sly, Esme and Lornaâ he replied
âwell okay,â I said and he smiled
âitâs this Friday, let me forward the news to everyoneâ he said, grabbed his phone and texted the others,
A teacher walked in our class and starts to teach, and this time I payed like serious attention because I have like nothing to worry about , well thereâs a fifty percent chance that shows that Iâm happy Noelleâs dead, and well Benâs not as bad as he seems and my mom well she loves him and the only one whoâs going to sit back and regret all this is my dad.. Good for him..
After the teacher finish teaching we all heard the bell and some people start to go out to eat lunch, âso⌠Letâs go eat lunchâ Lucas said and I nod.. I was about to stand up when I suddenly lost balance and was about to fall but luckily Lucas caught me.. By my wa-ist
âoh my God thanks youâre a real life saverâ I said and stood properly by the help of his shoulder, he smiles warmly and said.. âI sure am.. Iâm your lifesaverâ tells me
Huh? What is that suppose to mean âmy lifesaver?â
We were both about to walk out of class when Ben walked in the class and bumped into us
âoh hey, I was just looking for you guysâ Ben said happily,
*omy god thatâs him* *look at the new guy* *heâs more charming when heâs close* *he is a beauty* people starts to murmur in class and I was sure Ben could hear it too..
The three of us walked out of the class and Ben said âso this is your homeroom right?â
âyeahâ I said feeling kind of uncomfortable because all the girls in the class are totally trailing behind us.. Are they going to follow us to the cafeteria or what?⌠âso your mom was right, this school is great I love it already,â Ben said and I nod.. Lucas who was at my right side sighed and then turned back and yelled
âWould you guys just go back to your classesâ Lucas yelled at the girls following us and they all giggled and left,
âthanksâ I mouthed to Lucas and he smiled and nod his head
âI had to idea they were following usâ Ben said
âwell itâs kind of your faultâ I said lowly and moved my hair back..
âwhat?â he asked
âwhat?â I throw back
âwhat did you sayâ he asked
âoh.. Nothing actuallyâ I said.. As the three of us walked downstairs people made way for us and it was all because of Ben, Benjamin Norman.. Really?
Coming down the last part of the stairs, I slipped and almost fell and this time Lucas caught me again. âseriously Daisy, again?â he laughed and I joined him..
âIâm sorry I just donât get whatâs wrong with me today, but well thanksâ I said and he just chuckled, while Ben stared at us strangely.. As the three of us walked in the cafeteria everyone stopped just to look at us.. Okay I was wrong to look at Ben.. I mean what the hell heâs not even that cute.. Iâd totally pick Lucas or Sylvester over him.. Or even John..
We ordered our food and went to sit in an empty table, I sat down beside Lucas while Ben sat down opposite us, some senior guys passed us and waved to Ben who waved back.. I started to eat not really paying attention to the number of eyes gazing at our table.. âhey Daisyâ I heard my name and looked up,and I saw an unfamiliar face.. Who is she? I asked myself
âwho is she?â Lucas whispered to me , âI have no idea who she isâ I replied back, the girl walked up to us and I think sheâs a senior, she sat down beside Ben with a smile on her face, she had blonde hair and all she wore was just pink.. I donât like girls like this..
âhi.. â I waved slowly not wanting to be impolite
âhi.. Daisy, Ben and..
âLucas. â Lucas helped her
âLucas.. Itâs so nice to meet you allâ she continued
âIâm sorry do we know you?â Lucas asked speaking for both of us
âyou donât have to cause I already know you itâs no biggie, well Iâm Veronica and Iâm a seniorâ she said with a smile..
âyeah hell we can see thatâ l mutter to my self..
âanyway Iâm having a party this Friday at my place, and you guys are invited including you.. Benâ she said with her l-ips in a small smile Lucas glanced at me and we both made eye contact and I could swear I read his eyes..
âIâm sorry but I wonât be comingâ Lucas said
âyeah me tooâ I said and drank my water
âwhat, why?â she said frowning
âwe have other plansâ I said
âyeahâ Lucas said, she huffed and then turned to Ben
âhow about you? Are you coming?â she asked
Ben gazed at me looking for answers, well he should just answer his mind am not his mom, Veronica looked at me too and I suddenly face my food..âwell.. ?â Veronica asked with anticipated
âIâm sorry I canât go eitherâ Ben said and Veronica sighed and stood up and walked away..
âwhy did you guys turn down her offer?, are you guys going on a date or what?â Ben asked and Lucas and I suddenly looked at him that he moved back a bit..
âweâre not going on a date, donât jump into conclusionsâ I said
âokay well what are the plans you guys have, cause I really wanted to go to that party but because of you, I turned her downâ Ben said and took a bite from his meal..
*oh heâs even handsome when he eats* I heard someone say behind me and I sighed..
âyou shouldnât have turn her down if you didnât want to, well this Friday Lucas is having a party and Iâm invited I just canât turn that down just because some random girl wants to have a partyâ I said and Ben nods
âyeah, youâre right, so that means Iâm going to Lucas partyâ Ben said happily
âyeah suit yourself manâ Lucas said and smiled.. âitâs like you havenât been to a party beforeâ I tell Ben and he smiled at me..
Hell yeah, he havenât..
The three of us ate our meal silently and when I looked up, I just didnât know why I smiled seeing Sylvester walking in the cafeteria, gosh heâs cute..
I stared at him as John and Dylan walk behind him.. Ben looked at me and traced my eyes it landed on Sylvester and I could hear him laugh and I quickly turn to him..
âwhatâs funnyâ I asked
âoh nothing..nothing at allâ he said with a smile ..
âhey guysâ Sylvester waved to us as he passed us.. And I waved back but Lucas didnât he just nod lightly to the three guys..
*
After lunch we all went back to class and so did Lucas and I after being impacted with two more subjects, it was time for recess⌠I mean I still donât get why this school still have recess recess is for elementary school and, itâs freakingly amazing,..
âso wanna go to the gym?â Lucas asked me..
âthe gym? Is that where the cheerleaders practice?â I asked
âyeah but todayâs Wednesday so theyâre not practicing today the basket ball club isâ he replied
âwell thatâs worse, letâs go to the library insteadâ I said packing my books
âfantastic ideaâ he said.. And we both head to the library..
.
School was over and Lucas and I met Ben outside the school gate with girls clinging to him.. Ugh.. Kill me..
âhey benâ I called
He immediately pushed his way passed the girls and walked up to us.. âoh so Benâs your nameâ one of the girls shouted behind him.. And I shook my head negatively..
âso Iâm gonna head home,with Lucas, see you at homeâ I said and was about to walk away when he held my hand and Lucas flinched
âwhy donât you take a ride with me some guys are begging to take me home in their carâ he said and looked at the direction I looked at the guys and theyâre were all seniors badboy senior with a brand new car..
âuhm.. No thanks Iâll ride with Lucasâ I tell him and he frowns
âcome-on Daisyâ he begged
âuhm no thanks..â I said and pulled my hand from his.. âsee you at homeâ I said and followed Lucas to his motorcycle, I turned and there was a sad frown on Benâs face, I sighed and looked away, I just canât ride with those guys.. No way
Sorry for being popular ben..
