CHAPTER 8

"I saw a really cute guy drop you off today, who's he" she asked, my mum's spoon dropped from her hand, daddy turned his attention to me and I went numb.

Jenny and Titi were smiling at Lola.

What have I done to these demons?

"Andra is that true" mum asked in a whisper and I choked on that water I wanted to drink.

"Mmmmmm" I mumbled as I looked up at her.

"What is Lola talking about" she asked, raising her voice a little bit.

"M....mum....mu.. I...." I stuttered, the look on my dad's face wasn't funny at all and the fact that he hasn't said anything yet is so disturbing.

"Why are you stuttering, just answer the quest" Jenny beckoned with a smirk.

"It is obvious that its true, Andrea I am disappointed in you" Titi backed up.

"What? No...mum its not true, I mean yes a guy brought me home but he's just a friend... What am i even saying, He's just my school mate. He offered to give me a lift when we realized that my sisters left me.." I tried to explain but lola cut me off.

"Left you, Oh my gush Andrea you are so unbelievable, at top of whoring around, you've also started lying...." Lola fired.

"What the hell are you talking about" I screamed at her.

"Watch your language young lady" dad finally broke out. "Andra you've start keeping boyfriends at this age, even your sisters hasn't gotten such nerves, why will you disappoint me like this" he barked.

"What!? Dad, its not true, and them... They are the ones who has boyfriends"

"Andra don't try to use your sisters to cover your mistake, after the day your father caught and punished them with those three hoodlums, your sisters has been as neat as white sheets."

"That's what you think...mum they left me in school knowing fully well I was hurt, probably went with their boyfriends, I'm in pains because of this brutes I......."

"Oh my God, Andra I can't believe you, you are such a liar..... Mum... Dad... We waited for Andra for over an hour, only for her class mates to tell us that she left with a guy immediately school dismissed" Lola finished me off, I lost my tongue as I watched her.

As if that was not enough, Titi dug the grave.

"And to think that she lied to you about what happened to her, she wasn't bullied at school, mum have we ever reported to you that we were bullied ever since we enrolled in that school but just the first day SHE went to school, she claimed she got bullied. She must have gotten hurt from where she and her little boyfriend went to, this girl you are a disgrace to this family"

"What!?" I screamed at the top of my voice not believing her guts, mum and dad can't buy that, they know me too well.

"Probably you've been doing this and getting away with it in your formal school just because no one was there to monitor you." Jenny added to the furnace.

I turned to my dad with river of tears.

"Dad..."

"Quiet Andra, you are grounded, the driver will drive you to school and back everyday, no going out, and no friends until I get to the button of this" he barked and left the dinning.

My mum sighed and followed her. African wives can be so annoying, always doing what their husbands wants even to their own children.

I turned to them. The beasts.

"Happy now" I asked in tears.

"Although its really annoying that they only grounded you and no other punishment, but yea, we are happy" Lola stated with a grin, they all stood up and walked out.

I fell helplessly on the table. I just wanna die.

ALEX'S POV

"Mum where's dad" i asked mum when I got down stairs, I went to the refrigerator and picked a bottle of cherry punch. I uncorked the cover and took a sip.

"He left early, won't you have breakfast?" She replied and asked at the same time.

"Not really, I'm not hungry" I replied and picked an apple, I took a bite and threw the rest into the trash can.

"You are never hungry" she said and i laughed a little.

"Have you talked to Disney yet" she asked.

"Mum seriously, you need to stop this madness." I stated softly to avoid her trouble. I'm totally not in the mood of it.

"Dude i only asked you if you've talked to her, what's the big deal there" she asked with an amused smile.

"I owe her no apology"

"She demanded an apology?" She asked.

"Of course, weren't you there"

"Well then apologize"

"Not even in a million years"

"Come on hubby, prom is around the corner, you can't certainly attend prom alone, it will go down in history" she argued.

"OK first of all, I don't care about prom, secondly, if I'm going to prom, I certainly won't take Disney as my date, I might be sued for child abuse....." Mum started laughing, I had to join her.

"But your age difference is not that much" she tries to say amidst laughter.

"Whatever mum, when prom comes, we will figure it out, for now I'm off to school"

"Its just a month from now Alex, you should start getting ready for it"

"I'm not a girl and thanks for reminding me that exam is around the corner" I said and drank the remaining of my punch.

"Alex if you dare get straight A's in your final exams and attend prom night alone, I'll disown you"

I chuckled and picked a strawberry from the fruit basket. "Is that a threat" I asked amused.

"Call it whatever you like, I've told you and it must be Disney" she chuckled out and I laughed.

"Crazy woman"

"Crazy husband"

"You guys sound like you fvcking each other" I heard jeremy say.

"What?" Mum screamed and lughed while I rolled my eyes.

"What, are you insulting mum, why would you say that, your virgin brother can't handle mum, have you met your mother? Jake asked. "Alex is weak"

"Is this a good morning greeting or what" I asked them as I picked my back pack from the couch I dropped it.

"Nope, your good morning greeting is that I have your car key, and I'm going to school with it" Aiden informed me as he took an apple, he took a bite and smiled at me.

"You are kidding right"

"You bet I'm not" he slipped in his hands inside his pants and slipped it out with my car key in his index finger.

"Dude let me have that back, in your dreams" Jake stated, I tried to snatch the key from Aiden but he threw it to Jeremy, I ran to Jeremy but he threw the key to Jake before I could get to him.

These idiots are using me to work out this morning.

"You guys should leave his car for him, your cars are better than his" mum tried to defend me. Why hasn't she realized that defending me is always the worst step.

"You should have told your husband to make the car 4 of them" Jeremy complained.

"You guys have your cars, Alex has never had a car, this is his moment, leave him be"

"Yea right, its always about Alex" Jake stated with an eye roll.

"Just leave his car alone"

"Uh, remind me that when we get back from school mum" Aiden stated.

"The car color is not even your your type" mum screamed behind them as they walked out.

"Don't worry mum, we took care of it" Jake stated and shot the door.

I ran to the window and pipped out to know if Aiden will actually take my car, when I saw my car, I couldn't recognize it, my brand new white Lamborghini with a strip of gold, was now looking like a demonic car, black and red with a huge red and black skull drawn on the bonnet.

God I can't believe this people, they probably had to stay up last night for this.

Why? Just to taunt me.

Aiden got into the car and shut the door, Jeremy got into his bantly horse power 2019 model, while Jake got into his Mercedes and off they went. I wonder why they are going to in different cars.

I scoffed and backed away from the window.

"Its OK, when your dad gets back, we will settle it" mum tried to calm me down.

"Do really think I'll let this go, I'm taking Aiden's car for a ride" I replied and walked out and she followed behind.

"Alex..."

"Mum I'm not letting this slide, my very first car"

I entered the garage, I walked to the key hanger and picked Aiden's car key but my Mum snatched it from 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 exhaled heavily. "Fine"

"Come on, let me give you some money for taxi" she offered.

"Don't bother, I can take care of myself." I replied and walked out.

"Be careful and try to avoid them at school OK" she shouted behind me and I replied with an OK.

************

As I was walking in the hallway with a lot Of eyes roaming on me and flirty smiles being flashed at me, I checked my schedule and realized I have 15 minutes free period before class. So I decided to go out and take some fresh air and cool my head from the troubled of those evil people I call brothers.

'If you call your brothers evil, then what will you call Andra's sisters' my subconscious asked me.

I really don't understand such hatred, to the extent that they almost killed her yesterday, her pretty cute body were..... I can't even explain, I've never seen such wickedness before, but whatever it is, I'm sure it will come out one day.

I closed my locker and turned towards the back door when I heard her voice and tap on my shoulder.

"Tap..tap" I turned to her.

"What is it?" I asked, pretending not to be happy seeing her.

"Good morning to you too Alex" she greeted with twisted brown, she crossed her hands on her chest and stared at me, tapping her foot in the process.

"I didn't ask for it"

"Whatever..... Where are you going" she asked as she ran after me.

"Outside" I replied without looking at her.

"Speaking of outside, I saw you walk in through the gate this morning, did you park your car outside the gate" she asked me and I chuckled, she laughed a little.

"What? Tell me"she asked.

"My car was highjacked right in front of me"

"Oh my God, I hope the Highjacker didn't hurt you" she asked and surprisingly, she inspected my body.

"Andra I'm fine"

"Are you sure" she asked and I nodded.

"Although the car came to school but it doesn't look the same and I didn't drive it here."

"What do you mean, I don't understand"

"Come with me" I took her to the parking lot and showed her the car.

"My stupid brothers are the highjackers, I tried retalliating but my mum said two wrongs can't make a right and bla..bla..bla... Blah , I had to obey her"

"Wait if I'm not mistaken, you said those 3 lions you showed me yesterday are your brothers yea?"

"Yea, annoying set of people"

"Dude I think I'm backing your mum up, have you met your brothers?" She asked as she touched the car.

And that was when I noticed her skin.

"Andra your....you"

She swiftly turned to me.

"What?" She asked.

"Your skin... It glitters... I mean yesterday, it was full of scars and now its as smooth as an egg...." I said in awe as I touched her body.

"Oh, that. That's how my body is, it heals quickly" she replied.

"This quick, that is totally weird"
