Chapter 12: Chapter 12

CHAPTER 12

I shouldn't have had sisters.

I shouldn't have been born.

I'm done.

ALEX'S POV

"I'm done" I heard Andra, I wonder how she's feeling right now, cause if it were to be me, I won't take it.

I walked to her and touched her shoulder.

"Andi are you OK?" I asked in concern.

She looked up at me and smiled. And then shook her head vigorously.

"No I'm not, I won't take this...." She chuckled out. "Alex I can't take this, if I'm going down, they are going down with me." She barked and pointed to the hallway, I didn't need to be told that she was talking about her sisters.

She turned to the principal and asked.

"And if I violate any of this new security bullshit, what will be my punishment"

"Expulsion" Mrs. Collins replied.

"Does dad know?" She asked.

"Yea, he said something about knowing you too well, that you can't do anything that can get you expelled from school, cause apparently you love school" Mrs. Collins explained.

"Well unfortunately he has pushed the wrong button" she stated and without warning, she stood on her toes, and kissed me. It lasted from more than two minutes before she let go, and just light lightening, she bolted out the door.

It took me at least two minutes to get back to reality.

"Wow, she really went for it" Mrs. Collins stated with a smirk. "And could you please help me tell her that she's expelled, i don't think I have the courage to do that to that broken girl" she added.

"Then don't" I turned to her. "And next time, before you impose such constitution, try to place yourself in the shoes of students, just for a minute."

"I didn't know that someone in his right senses will use that on his own daughter, I mean this is 21 century..."

"Tell that to Africans" I cut her off. "What sort of godamn constitution is that"

"Ask Mrs. Lily Ivy" she stated and went back to her seat.

I ran out of the office into the hallway, wondering what Andrea must have gotten herself into, doesn't she know that going to meet her sisters in our class is pretty much a death trap.

ANDRA'S POV.

"Andrea! Andrea wait...! " I heard a distant voice of Alex calling me, I felt like he was close but his voice was very distant. I turned around and saw his blury image as a result of the over flowing tears in my eyes.

"Andra, listen, don't do anything stupid, going in there to confront them won't change anything, it will only make things worse" he stated, I just stared at him, I heard his words but I clearly didn't understand them. My mind was on how to make my sisters pay, or perhaps join me in this expulsion.

Alex shook me vigorously. "Andrea, are you listening to me" he asked and that was when I noticed that students were already moving about in the hallway.

Classes are over I guess.

"Hey sister" I heard Lola's voice.

They probably want to bully me.

Not today bitfirst

I clenched my first

I turned to them but Alex turned me around to face him.

"Its not worth it Andra" he whispered.

"You are the one who has always wanted me to fight them. Why are you trying to stop me now" I fired at him.

"Not like this Andrea, it was then not anymore, things has gotten our of hand"

"How do you mean" I asked him as I slapped his hand off my arm.

"Your reputation Andi, bad record, getting expelled from Lily ivy, its like a stigma" he stated and I chuckled.

"Well too late, I already kissed you in front of the principal, you are the key to this whole thing though"

"How do you mean" he asked quietly.

"Don't you get it, this Is all because of you"I fired at him and students gasped, they started gathering around us.

"How is my fault that your bloody bitches sisters hate you".

"This is not all about my sisters, how about the stupid bitches in this school who won't let me rest just because of you, leaving this goddamn school is a thousand times much better than being with you, being your friend is literally the worst stigma..." I spat out without even thinking of reharsing my words.

I felt like slapping my self right now.

"Bitch how dare you" I heard a girl ask from the crowd.

I turned to the side my sisters were standing cause I was pretty sure that whoever that talked was probably behind them.

"Bitch I swear, if you ask me that again, I'll fucking kill you" I barked at the crowd and they gasped.

"Jeez Andra what has gotten into you, you just spoke ill of Alex and you still have the guts to talk back" Jenny asked in almost a whisper.

"You all got into me, you, you and you...." I pointed at the three of them. "And all this fake bitches, what is Alex to you all, some toy you protect and still not use it huh, He's a human being, can't he have friends, what's your business if I'm his friend huh, you all hated me just for being a friend to a guy. If you liked him, why didn't you ask him out huh, you scaredy babies" I barked, jeez I have no idea where all this courage is coming from but I like it.

"And as for you three" I pointed at my sisters. "I'm telling dad everything, I'm telling him you still hang with the boys he caught you with at home, I'll tell him how you've been bullying me at school, bitches if I'm going down, you are coming with me." I fired with poison ivy from my heart.

"Bitch you won't dare" Lola warned.

"Watch me" I stated and stared right into her eyes and watched her burn in rage.

If only this was a different circumstance Alex would have been proud of me.

And speaking of Alex, I've not heard his voice.

Although i didn't Want lola to think that I'm afraid of her but I have to let go off the glaring competition and find Alex.

Where could he have gone to.

I know I went too far with my words, I'm not supposed to say those things to him, he was right, it's not worth, but I didn't listen, now I'm gonna lose my school, my reputation, and the only friend I've ever truly had.

Alex please where are you, I'm sorry, I feel heavy without your support.

I slowly slid away from the crowd, ignoring their curses.

"Dumb bitch"

"I heard she got expelled"

"Totally true, she was served with the Extra Security constitution and she violated it"

"Jeez, who would serve her with such thing, that's mean, I don't like her but I feel for her"

"To be honest, I never really hated her, and also this is the first time I'm hearing about that god forsaken constitution, I mean what does that even mean"

I couldn't believe they were actually deviating from hating me to sympathy.

"Did you hear the part that she Kissed Alex "

"What, dumb bitch"

And there goes the sympathy.

I got outside and thought of only one place Alex could be, the water fountain and I was right.

I saw him sitting by it when I got there.

"I thought you hated the water fountain and only like it when I'm around" I asked him as I stood with hands akimbo, watching him keenly.

He didn't reply. Not fair.

"Alex I'm sorry" I apologized. "I didn't mean to say those things to you"

"You've been haboring it in your mind, I'm really glad you said it out loud, by the way what are you doing here, people might see you and stigmatize you again" he lifted his head up to watch me and that hurts.

"I deserve that, I was confused Alex, I didn't know what was coming out of my......" I stopped when I realized I'm still lying.

I've always wanted to stay away from him each time I get bullied. But its nothing but the truth, they are bullying me because Of him. I have to tell him that.

"Alex its true, everything I said about you being more than a stigma to me....." I explained everything to him and he went quiet.

"I thought it was only your sisters who hates you and Lindsay, I didn't know about the whole school, I'm sorry you've been passing through a lot Andi, you don't deserve this." He touched my cheek and I smiled, for some reason my cheeks kinda feel hurt as if it was being burnt.

"I'm sorry about the way I handled things, I shouldn't have let my anger control me"

"You know? There's this thing my mum always say to me each time I want to retaliate each time my brothers tease me.

"Two wrongs can't make a right Alex, you don't have to do this, you are not gonna get anything from it. You've always been the bigger boy, ignoring their childishness and excesses, don't spoil that Alex"

I sighed, that's definitely true.

"I'm gonna miss you"

"You are not going anywhere girl, Mrs. Collins don't have that heart, I'm sure she will let it slide." He stated.

"Even after causing a scene in the hallway" I asked.

"Mrs. Collins loved you the very first day you stepped into her office, she's not letting you go that easily"

"What if my dad hears of it".

"Who will tell him" he asked.

"My sisters, doh"

"We won't" I sprang up when I heard Titi's voice, Alex also stood up when he saw them, not in fear like me but totally in surprise.

Speaking of, why the hell am I even scared of them, I wasn't scared in the hallway, where the hell did miss courage go.

"What do you mean" Alex asked them.

"Exactly what you heard, we won't tell dad" Lola replied.

"And why not" Alex further asked, I also want to know.

"Doh. Isn't that what you guys want" Jenny stated and sat by the water fountain.

Why are they being calm.

"Listen Andrea, we know that it may seem like we hate you or something but we don't, I mean, why will we hate our own flesh and blood, that's not possible, we just like to tease you, the world out there is crucial, we've seen it but you my dear little cutie haven't, you still hide in the shadows of mum and dad, and if we don't do it this way, you will be ruined, you won't have the courage to face what this partial world will throw at you, life is not easy sis, so we are just trying to help you" Lola stated as she walked closer to me but I stepped back, never trust a sneaky cat who decided to be friendly, it might have something up its paws.

"Its true Andrea, we really don't hate you" Titi backed up.

"But you constantly remind me how much you hate me"

"Its part of life coaching, look Andrea, we are tired of teasing you, we are done, prom night is in two weeks, and graduation is the day after, girl I don't wanna graduate from high school with the thought of our younger cutie sister believe that we hate her, not cool at all"

"So please will you forgive us" Jenny backed up.

This confusing.

"You don't expect us to buy this crap do you" I heard Alex ask.

"Oh come on Lexy, just as your brothers doesn't hate you, we also don't hate our sister. In fact to prove this, we have a special gift for you on prom night Andrea" Lola said.

"Its gonna be epic" Titi backed up.

"Really" I asked in confusion, is this a joke. Whatever it is, I know that they are definitely lying, I'm not falling for this.

"So we are good ?" Jenny asked.

"I guess" I replied.

"Yea" they squicked and hugged me before running off.

"Don't tell me you believed that shit" Alex asked me.

"Not even one bit" I replied.

Can devil repent?
