3 Chapter 3- Is it kicked in or out

" And then he said, so is that a yes to go on a date, And she just flatly said No. Like that the poor dude's heart got broken and she smiles and says How romantic," Geo ends his sappy 'romantic' story.

We all laugh. "Darn, Geo did that happen to you?" I ask teasingly.

He just smiles and very 'appealing' smile and says in a 'charming' way " Aria V, No girl can say no to this."

I just stare pointedly at him and say, "Geo, i think I just did." Geo in turn looks at me and says, " Aria V, you have it coming!" I scream and begin running to the elevator.

"Are they crazy?... What the hell.... How are they apart of the mafia?...How stupid are they?" Our 'audience' murmur among themselves.

Immediately i stop running and my smile is wiped off my face. Geo immediately stops unaware of why my emotion suddenly changed.

I frown deeply and stalk towards the elevator. God why am I so easy to be riled up.

As soon as I enter the elevator, i press the floor i should be transported to, the door closes and I facepalm. Its so hard to be happy when all you hear and see around you is negativity.

However, i suddenly realize the elevator hasn't really started moving yet. I frown and look towards the door and see Caleb standing in the doorway with Talia and the rest of my family.

My dad sadly looks at me and I look down in shame that hearing murmurs got me so angry.

They all step into the elevator and my dad gives me the ' We are gonna talk' look. Then they all start running the crappiest jokes our entire journey like nothing bad happened in their lives.

Ding! "Welp, this is our stop, cmon bros, les go," Geo says stepping out of the elevator ontu his floor.

As soon as my chatty brothers exit the elevator the air becomes thick and tense, my fathers prescence feels even more present to say the least. Its like the superior air surrounding him is starting to choke me.

Caleb feels the tenseness too because he says the stupidest thing ever," Sooo, what is your favorite brand of soap?" I facepalm and my dad raises a brow.

",Luxury Hermes d'Orange Verte Gift Soaps" My dad responds. The air got visibly thinner and well my dad and caleb began talking about soaps.

I facepalm. Really? Of all the things this wirld has to talk about, they decide to talk about soap. Sooooo last season.

"Alrighty out of the elevator everybody!" My dad chirps. Is your dad as stupid as mine? I wanna rip his tongue out his head. Ugh. I walk out of the elevator and walk towards my room.

Caleb walks towards his room with talia in his arms and says, "Goodnight! Sleep well." I smile and say, "yh u too." My dad only smiles at Caleb and follows me into my room. Now the talk begins.

"Aria, what happened? you got angry in there. What went down?" my dad asks. I look up at him and say, " I actually dont know myself. I just heard some murmurs and then i got angry.

I guess i was just bound to get riled up today. It was just a matter of time..." He looks at me and smiles.

" You are gonna get enrolled into a school tommorow so be ready, be sharp, be beautiful but most of all be you. Good night hun O and meet me in the kitchen tomorow at 7:45 AM ," he says and kisses me on my forehead.

I swear he still thinks i'm a kid. I grin and he slowly but surely walks out of my room. Or maybe he is just scared because my room is opposite Caleb's room.

Hehe. What if i pranked my dad? Hmm. Nope. He would probably die from a heart attack when i unload the prank on him. Yup he most definitely would.

I smile to myself then go into the closet. " YAY! A WALK IN CLOSET WOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO!" I shoout joyfully as though i didnt know that i had one from the start.

I hear caleb's muffled laughter coming from his room and i can't help myself but start a chain reaction by laughing too. Then my dad.

Then some other dude laughed. Then a girl. Then lastly Greyson. Wow. So many people on my floor. I roll my eyes and change into my 'Mr.Paws' Onesie.

I yawn. Darn. Am tired. Lets just go to bed and pray that tomorow is better than today. I walk out of my closet and into my room and then over to my bed.

PLOP!

I flop ontu my bed facing downwards and there goes the final time i will be seeing. Wait no. Am not dieing am just gonna sleep. Calm down.

6:30 the next morning...

"Watermelon sugar high, Watermelon sugar high, Watermelon sugar high, Watermelon sugar high, Strawberries, On a summer evening, Baby youre the end of June, I want your belly, And that summer feeling, Getting washed in you, Breathe me in, Breathe me out, I dont know if i could ever go without, Watermelon sugar high....." A really gorgeous voice sings.

Like i dont know if i can say that, but its that voice that woke me up. It sounds like a dude. And its coming from my bathroom.

Wait, what? My bathroom. There is a dude singing a harry styles song in my bathroom. Is he a creep or is he drunk or high?

"Ok Aria V, pull yourself together. Your probably just going crazy," I tell myself. "Uhm, Hi, I'm drake, nice to meet you," The dude says stepping out of the my bathroom.

Me being shocked because the dude, call his name you idiot my subconscious says to me.

Ok drake was wearing a towel wrapped around his lower region and it was low-riding and o my lord i sound like a fangirl. "Hi I am Aria Valente, but you can call me Aria V," I reply.

"Sorry about using your bathroom, its just that my bathroom's hot water isnt as hot as yours so i just came and used yours. Thats ok, right?" He asks.

I smile and say, " Its ok to do that." Homestly right now i am trying my best to avoid looking down.

"Ummm, Aria V? Is everything ok? It seems you're avoid looking at me," he says completely unaware of the state he is in. Like how oblivious is this dude.

" You are wearing a bath towel that is hung low on your waist and your asking me if i'm ok?" I reply. " Hmm, is that a bad thing or a good thing?" he says in response.

I facepalm. He smiles at me which i must say shows his dimples. Like who knew? You did? How unfair.

"Yh, its neither bad or good but i suggest you leave my room before i say, Off with your-" i retort. "Head," he says ending my sentence for me. "Ok ill leave but i will see you again right milady?" "What the? You dont even know me or anything about me. Why are you calling me milady. We arent in the ice age.

Or are we? Did albert einstein finally create a time travel machine? Did i accidentally use it. Listen Drake, your name is very 21st century... Hmmm are you having mental issues maybe..." I ramble.

He just laughs at me, blows a kiss and walks out of my room. "I guess i'm not in the ice age then," i say to him after he leaves.

Welp. Its the day i get enrolled into a school. Should i go for a chic, classy or just plain 'girl on fire' look. Lets head to the closet.

Knock! Knock!

Ok or maybe not. I walk over to my door and open it seeing Caleb there with packed bags. My eyes widen in surprise and I am speechless.

" I have to leave... Ill see you around... Bye Aria V.... Can you say something....," he says each long pause being at least 2 minutes long.

I begin sniffling, then a tear falls, i wipe my eye and he flinches. THE DUDE FLICHED?! What the? "Ari- Dont cry, talia and i will visit anytime you want...." he says. " Where will you..go?" i ask quietly.

"I actually dont know.." he says with an awkward laugh at the end. " Ill keep talia while you go work on your life.... Come back for her when your ready?" i say to him.

He shales his head no. " Aria V, she is my responsibility, not yours, now go do whatever girls do.... and best of luck enrolling into school..... Hey, enjoy your life i am sure we'll meet again, bye and don't cry, talia and i, we are good, we are rich remember," he says wiggling his eyebrows when he says 'we are rich remember'.

I smile at his antics and he walks away with talia. Darn. i lost a crush and a best friend all at once. Was it me? Did i do something? Was last night the cause? I have so little questions and I am not prepared for the answers.

I walk to my closet. I guess we are going for anything then. I walk in the closet and choose a light grey crop top that has long sleeves that slowly get larger the longer it gets. There are small gems sewn from shoulder to shoulder and that just about it.

I also choose a dark grey mini-skirt that is a little below midthigh and is flared with small jewels at the tail of the skirt. I wear a black thin belt and a pair of black ankle strap platform heels.

I look in the mirror and smile a weak smile. Time to do my hair. Since i have jet black hair it fits in nicely with my outfit and even though it may not be the best first impression.

Its what i am gonna wear. Ooo that gives me an idea. I walk into my closet and grab a pair of black fishnets.

I smile at my look, walk out of my closet and over to my vanity and decide ill just do a very light makeup look. I pick up my mascara and start on my eyelashes.

Then i apply my black eyeliner to do a classic cat-eye look.I use my black lipstick then apply my sparkly lip gloss to get the shiny black sparkly lip look.

I use my eyebrow pencil to do my eyebrows and finally i make use of my powder blush and brush to finish my look.

I look in the mirror in front of me. " Who is the pretty girl i see, o thats me, yes yes it is!" i say to myself . I know, i am very self-centered.

I get up out of my chair and walk over to my closet. I forgot to choose my bag. I walk in and go to the bag section. I choose a black leather purse with a gold tone chain straps. Perfecto! Now to do my hair.

I walk back over to my vanity. I am doing a lot of walking today darn. I sit in front of my mirror. Ok i have jet black hair so that should be good especially with the look i am going for today.

Since my hair is straight and i love ponytails so much i decide to do a two ponytail look. Perfect! What time is it?

7:46 am

O wow. its that late. wait a sec. what time did dad say i was supposed to meet him. O crap i'm a minute late. I grab my phone (i saw it in my room yesterday and my dad told me its mine.

So thats how i have a phone), i grab my lipgloss and my hair brush, just in case i need it. I smile and then walk out of my room.

7:48

I couldnt be any later. My dad's gonna kill me. I walk to the elevator and choose the floor i'll be going to.

7:49

I step out of the elevator and is greeted by a sharp, " You're late." I smile," Good morning to you too dad." Dad frowns and i swallow my saliva.

"Alrighty eat up, we will be leaving at 7:55," my dad says. I walk over to the kitchen island and sit while he hands me a plate of bacon fried eggs and toasted bread with espresso. Theres nothing more to do than dig in.

"Good morning! Have you seen Caleb?" A lady asks walking into the kitchen. " No i haven't," my dad replys.

" Yh, he left this morning, he came to my room and told me that he was leaving," I say to the lady, she seems to be his mom because of their very similar features.

"WHAT!? HE LEFT! WHERE DID HE GO? DID HE TELL YOU WHY!? WHAT HAPPENED?," the lady's soft face turned sad. "No he didnt tell me why and where he just told me he was leaving..." i say.

"Oh good lord, why?" the lady breaks down and runs out of the room.

Why woud Caleb just leave like that? Something isnt right here. I finish my food early and go to fourth floor. "Ok, so what should we do, kick him out, or let him stay?" I hear a voice say from the conference room.

Wait a sec. They're having a meeting. What is going on? I walk to the conference room, walk in and take a seat. Everyone that is inside the conference room looks shocked to see me.

"Miss Valente, you cannot be here," Mr. Parker says. "Hmmm, who were you talking about? Caleb?" I ask ignoring his command. He frowns at me and narrows his eyes. I smile back at him.

" Ok, Caleb is 17 and has a child. That is against rules so he must either be kicked out or start working to stay here-" Mr. Parker begins his speech. "Yh, No we arent kicking him out and he isnt gonna work to stay here," i say cutting him off.

"Miss Valente, not only are you being rude by being here, you are also interfering with this conference," Mr.Parker says.

I smile at him. "Ok. All that know the true story of the reason this baby happened, and those who are with me, show your hands," I say.

1 minute passes and no one raises their hand....

"See Ms.Valente, this is between us, not you," Mr.Parker says with a smile. I stare at him and then Mr.WhiteLock raises his hand.

My eyes widen in surprise. If he raises his hand everyone else will. And so said so done. Everyone slowly one after the other raises thier hand. I smile in relief.

Mr.Parker frowns then says,"I guess the majority wins, Caleb is going to stay..."

I smile and turn around to see Caleb standing there with a smile. I run over to him and laugh.

"I guess i saved your ass so you owe me a major favor," I say smiling at him. He smiles back and nods his head.

"Aren't you supposed to meet your dad at 8 am or so though?" He asks me. My jaw drops. "CRAP! WHAT TIME IS IT?" i say running out of the room. "8:04," Caleb replies and I can hear the smile in his voice. I am definite toast.

I run to the elevator and press 1st floor. In approximately 1 munite i am on first floor.

I quickly run to the door and succeed in falling a couple times. I open the door just to be greeted by my dad looking like he is ready to kill someone.

I awkwardly smile and briskly walk to the Cadillac Escalade. My dad silently walks behind me and goes to the drivers seat.

I sit in the passenger seat and my dad starts the car. "Wanna tell me what happened why you were late?" He says as soon as he starts the engine.

"I was- I saw- I heard-. I- Its a long story. But Caleb is staying thanks to Mr.WhiteLock," I say really not able to put all i saw and heard into words.

My dad looks at me and looks as though he understands what I am saying even thought I know he doesn't.

"Ok sweetie. Welp, You are gonna be enrolled in Mercyfalls High School, So buckle up its only 17 minutes away," He replies. I smile, I guess ill be going to high school for the first time ever. I wonder what its like....
