EPISODE 14
I said to goodbye to Esther and hurriedly went to meet James. He said his goodbye to me for that day as I got in my limo. And Evans drove me home.
I took a shower and went downstairs to eat dinner. Just as I was eating dinner I heard the living room door open and I guessed my parents must be home and I was right cause the were home, I suddenly chugged my glass of water and walked out of the dining room to see them and our suddenly recent guests.
Mrs Joyce, her husband Steven and their little bit annoying son Peter who came last time and my parents are kind of forcing me to look at Peter, and it seems like they didnât bring their little daughter Erica.
âhey mom, dad, good eveningâ I smiled.
âhow you sweetie?â my mom asked and I replied Her with a smile and turned to our guests.
âgood evening , Mr Steven, Mrs Joyceâ I said politely to impress my parents and my mom smiled so much that her l-ips almost fell.
âaww, I donât if itâs me or your daughter is getting prettier and nicer everydayâ Mrs Joyce said and my parents laughed. âshe got that side from meâ my mom said and they all laughed again and seriously I donât get whatâs funny.
âheyâ Peter smiled at me his deep dimple making a well on his cheeks.
âhiâ I smiled back, a faux smile to be clear.
He tried to say a word but I ignored him and walked over to my mom, âmom should I help you with your bag?â I asked.
âoh Samantha, itâs okay, have you eaten dinner?â my mom asked.
âyeahâ I nod.
âtoo bad I wanted us all to have dinner togetherâ my mom pouted.
Thank god I already ate dinner. Itâs so awkward when I eat dinner with guests.
âBeatrice!!â my mom yelled and Beatrice came running to her
âtake these bags upstairsâ my mom ordered and Beatrice took the bag from her. And walked upstairs. Followed by my dad.
âokay Sam, weâll be upstairs why not spend some time with Peterâ my mom smiled and I smiled back.
âsure thing momâ.
My mom trailed behind my dad, followed by Mrs Joyce and Mr Steven and I finally let go of my stupid smile. I walked passed Peter and plopped down on the couch grabbing my dad laptop that was beside the chair.
âhey Samantha..â Peter said smiling at me.
âwhat?â I arched my brows at him.
ânothing, how you doing?â he asked trying to start a conversation.
âfine. As you can seeâ I said not looking at him but the laptop in front of me.
âokay thatâs goodâ he said and sat down on the couch I was sitting.
I was streaming the internet looking for new movies to keep myself busy for the day with. But Peterâs loud voice was distracting me with him saying things that I donât want to know or wasnât even listening to, and it was ear burning. That I just couldnât take it anymore that I yelled.
âshut up!!â Peter flinched and he blinked rapidly as me.
âlook, Iâm sorry but Iâm busy with this.. I said and glance at the laptop and then at him.. âand Iâm not listening to anything youâre saying and itâs kind of annoying cause it seems like youâre just talking to yourselfâ I said and he shyly looked away.
âIâm sorryâ I apologise again and turn to the laptop.
âI just want us to be friends that allâ he said after a minute of silence and I sighed and turned to him after sâą0tting a very interesting movie.
âwe already areâ I said.
âreally?â he asked with a short smile.
âyeahâ I quickly replied and turned back to the Laptop.
âb-but you donât act like oneâ he said and I turned to him. âexcuse meâ .
âHuh?â he raised his thick brows at me.
âhow do you expect me to act like, as a friend?â I asked closing the laptop.
âlikeâŚuh⌠He scratched his head. He doesnât want to be âjustâ a friend to me.
âhug you and k-ss you?â I asked standing up.
âwhat?â his head snapped at me. And he grinned a bit.
âsorry Pete, I already got a boyfriendâ I tell him and walked away.
I got to my room and got down on my bed, I continued with whatever movie I was searching for and I ended up watching Romeo and Juliet before falling asleep and I had a dream, a really good dream that James and I were in it was too bad that I didnât remember the dream details.
After my morning jog that morning, I took my bathe, brushed, ate breakfast and went to school.
The sound of the morning bell for first period made me start to walk fast through the hallway to get to class on time, I saw a group of girls standing at the side of the corridor talking and when I passed them one of them set out their feet for me and I tripped over it and almost fell. I huffed and turned swiftly.
âwho did that?!!â I yelled at them and my voice echoed through the hallway. They all ignored me and kept talking to theirselves and then they all laughed hysterically and start to walk away, I caught each and every one of them faces I donât know them but theyâre gonna get a taste of me..
I walked in the class and our spanish teacher had already walked in and sheâs not a nice person.
She prevented me from entering the class and told me to stand up at the door and I sighed and stood at the door watching her teach. I answered almost each every question she asked the class and she had to choice but to let me sit on my seat.
We had aggressive English. Literature and art before we went for lunch break.
I walked over to victoria and was about to let her know weâre having lunch without Tracey cause Iâm still mad at her. when Tracey suddenly walked up to us and pulled Victoria up from her seat making her pen draw a huge line on whatever she was writing and Victoria whined.. âTraceyâŚâ
âIâm sorryâŚâ Tracey apologized with the same tone which made victoria laughed a bit but she still wore that angry look. âCâmon letâs go eat lunchâ Tracey said and linked Her hand with Victoriaâs.
âwhat about samanâ
âCâmonâ Tracey said and pulled Victoria and they both walked out without me..
Did Tracey just ignored me?!
I let that slide out of my chest cause I know, recently sheâs been trying to break James and I up but she not succeeding so now sheâs giving me the silent treatment.
Well played Tracey.
I walked out of the class alone cause I couldnât find James or else I could have gone out with him. I walked out of the class alone and head to the cafeteria, I ordered my food and glance at âourâ table to see molly Victoria and Tracey, eating, talking and laughing without me.
I ignored that and walked up to an empty table beside the cafeteria entrance. I plopped down on the chair and dropped my tray on the table. I started to eat slowly, and each time I just glance at Tracey molly and Victoria and that sight hurts a bit.
âHuh.. What are you doing alone?â I heard the most sweetest voice and quickly looked up.
âJames..â I called softly and my voice shook.
âW..w..why are you crying?â James asked and I touched my cheeks to find out that I am crying..
âI..i.. I sighed and looked down.
James walked away and later car back with a can of coke and dropped it in front of me.
âif youâre feeling down try drinking coke it helpsâ he said and I held his hand that was on my th-gh
âokay whatâs wrong?â he asked.
âthem.â I replied and looked up at Tracey and the others.
âwhatâs wrong with them, and why are you not eating with themâ James asked and I dried my w-t lashes with my hands, I canât believe I was crying over them. So stupid of them.
âwhat did Tracey actually tell you yesterday when she went to drama class with you?â I asked looking down at our hands..
ân..n..nothing..â James said nervously and I looked up at him before sliding my hand out of his grip. âyouâre lying to meâ I said and he sighed and held my hand back.. âshe just asked me if I really liked you and I said yes, and thatâs allâ Jameâs said and I looked up at Traceyâs table.
âI donât understand why sheâs behaving this way, and yesterday she said Iâd thank her later when I find out the real truth. And today she dragged Victoria and ignored me when I was going out for lunch today, isnât that too muchâ I explained and turned to James to see him gulping down the can of coke. âI thought you brought that for meâ
âsorry I couldnât help it seems like your stress and sadness is passing on to me, Iâll go have a word with Traceyâ James said but I stopped him.
âyou shouldnât. Just let her beâ I said and he nods but still I didnât think he wants to listen to me.
We both ate lunch together and went back to class and jams really did clear my stress. We both went back to class and I swapped seats and with Lucas so Iâd seat at beside James. Lucas agreed and went to sit on my seat while I took his as mine being close with him. Iâll be lost in his charms and totally forget about Tracey and her craziness.
School was over and we all went to drama class, we started to rehearse and the drama teacher didnât like as I was the lead role and Esther didnât even show up in drama class today cause sheâs busy with school president stuff, so if heâs angry he should pay hell a visit.
It was time for James and I to rehearse as the frog prince and princess and I smiled as the drama teacher called us out, he handed each of us the script and after reading it for a minute he told us to start. James got on his knees to get the height of a frog while I stood up and looked down at him. James peeped his script and then turned to me. And I did the same thing.
âgracious goodness! How can a frog talkâ I started to act and I glance at our drama teacher and every other student and they were looking at me attentively.
âI am not just a frog your highness!â James said and somehow heâs trying to hide his smile and that made me almost smile.
âbut you are a frog youâre covered in slime and you have gills what could you be if nâ
âpause!!â our drama teacher yelled and James and I turned to him.
âwhatâs your name again?â he asked.
âSamantha!â I tell him
âSamantha Iâll tell you this, your first line was great but your second line wasnât that great. Youâre supposed to show more concern about a talking frog, youâre acting like youâre making a mockery out of the talking frog, act like you are surprised seeing the talking frog and you James act like you need help donât feel too comfortable down thereâ our drama teacher instructed. And James and I nod and turned back to each other.
âBut you are a frog youâre covered in slime and you have gills what could you be if not a frogâ I started this time I acted it without smiling.
âI am under a curse your highness I am actually a princeâ James said very seriously, he is a prince, thereâs no doubt in that.
âwhat are you doing say the next lineâ James whispered to me and I flinch, I was so lost staring at him I forgot my next line.
âa..a..a.. Prince..ceâ I stutter glancing at the script. James laughed a bit and immediately changed his face when he noticed our drama teacherâs stare.
âa prince!! Youâre under a curse? But how?â I said with my hand on my chest and James smiled before saying his next line.
âboth of you stop!!â the drama teacher yelled and James and I paused. âyouâre both great actors but youâre lacking something, and youâre wasting my time and others time, you two will only rehearse tomorrow you guys should stop for now and let the others rehearseâ the drama teacher said and James smiled at me as we both walked down the stage.
Others start to rehearse while we just watched together and after drama class we all went home.
I got down from my limo and walked into my house. I saw my mom on the couch immediately I walked in the living room and I greeted her politely, but she huffed and stood up.
âSamantha.â she called and I looked at her âyeah?â.
âyouâre sorry youâve got a boyfriendâ my mom said and I moved back a bit.
âHuh?â
âyou have a boyfriend, after everything weâve told youâ my mom said and placed her hand on her hÂĄps.
âh-how d-d-did y-you know.â I stutter
âit doesnât matter how I knowâ my mom half yelled.
Peter.. It must have been Peter who told her.
