Hatred is overrated - Episode 2

 

Selene's POV:
Wake up, sleepy head; my dad shook my body calmly, but it was still disturbing. I was having the weirdest dream of the century, Josh Blackwood kissing me. The strangest part was that it felt so good. I had alwata thought the exchange ofvsaliva between two people was a dangerous thing. I mean, imagine the number of non beneficial microbes that'd be transmitted during the exchange . But for someone who hated me as much as I hated him, the kiss felt food. I could feel goose bumps all over my body. I guess the goosebumps are due to the fact that the temperature was below 0°C(zero degree Celsius). Nightmares are xinnon during winter. Josh kissing me is definitely a nightmare. A nightmare that felt so good.
If you don't go into the bathroom now Sel,  I'd cut off your allowance; my dad  snapped me outta my daze. My parents are party poppers. I just wanted to sleep a bit more. I lazily got out of bed and went into the bathroom. I cringed when I saw  my reflection in the mirror. My strawberry blond hair was like a bird nest, I had seen a lot of girls' bed hair in movies, it was nothing like mine. I sighed in defeat as I brushed  my teeth and stepped into my small but cozy bathtub. One of the advantages of being rich

. I spent roughly ten minutes in the bathroom. I dried my hair, combed it and packed it up in a ponytail. I wore a thick mum's Jean, a tank top, a turtle neck sweater and a leather jacket, I paired it with my Prada winter boots. I picked up my iPhone 8+ from the night stand, checked my backpack for my AP biology assignments (I'm a nerd, so what) and the subjects I had for the day. Then I made my way downstairs.

. Hey mum, hey dad; I chirped.
That's not a way to say good morning young lady; my mum said sternly.
I fought the urge to roll my eyes as I greeted them properly.
They were making breakfast which was rather strange since we had housemaids.
Where are the maids mum?; I asked looking confused. My mum cleared her throat awkwardly, while my dad scratched the back of his neck while looking at everywhere else but me.
They were dismissed yesterday, we gave them a week off.
I was more confused than before.
Why?; I asked no one in particular.
Honey, please promise us that you won't get mad; my mum said, feeling uneasy.
This only increased my confusion.
Mum, dad, for the last time;
What is going on?
Well; my mum started nervously, while my dad encouraged her my nodding. It has been a while since your dad and I had a good time together, we hadn't been able to spend time together because of the family's business. We have decided to spend a week in Paris together with the Blackwoods, we'd be back by Sunday night honey.
I digested everything my mum just said, but none of it was adding up. What does dismissing the maid had to do with their Paris vacation.
As if Dad noted my confusion.
He spoke up; well, you haven't had a sleepover at the Blackwoods since you were eight. Ariel had been the one coming over to this house for sleepovers and you Haven't made an attempt to go to her house in years, so you'd be staying at the Blackwoods for a week, I'm sure you don't need to pack any stuff, you can always go shopping with your credit card, and don't even think of sneaking back to the house while we are gone young lady, coz we would have changed the lock code, spending a week at the Blackwoods won't kill you. It's just gonna be you, Ariel and_
Don't say his name; I cut my dad off rudely, what a great way to start the week.
You better figure out a way to make this up to me when u guys come back from your vacation.
I gave them kisses on their cheeks and stormed outta the house, leaving them glued to a spot with dropped jaws. Even though I was really angry, I couldn't deprive my parents of their happiness, it was just spending a week with that spawn of Satan that was baffling me. Well, the Blackwoods mansion was big enough to avoid him. Getting outside my compound, I saw his black Audi parked. I made my way to open the backseat as usual but was stopped by the picture in my presence, my so-called best friend was sitting in the back seat, beside Mr Grumpy's soccer stuff, she was wiggling her eyebrows at me with a smirk, mocking me because there was no space for me at the backseat, she was daring me to trek to school.
With a loud huff, I opened the door to the passengers seat and entered.
Seatbelts please; Mr pineapple face said and I rolled my eyes.
This is gonna be the longest 15minutes of my life.
