Chapter Two: The big bang secret

I woke up with a splitting headache but the memory of the verdict of last night was still fresh in my mind. A part of me wanted to stay in my room till the day ends the other part implored me stand up and face today head on, my only source of consolation was that I would be going back to Colorado tomorrow and I would be far away from all this madness. After taking a long bath I slipped into my clothes for today. I couldn't help but hear the grumbling coming from my stomach reminding me I didn't eat anything last night.

I hurried downstairs and was surprised to find everyone in black clothing like they were all attending a funeral but this was no funeral, they were about to know all our family dark secrets, a secret that I wouldn't be part of till they deemed it fit to tell me and plus this would be the first time my cousins would step into my Grandpa study and that alone warranted the formal clothes and laura served me some blue berry pancakes which were incredibly delicious.

After a while Evelyn came to inform them that the meeting had begun leaving just me, Lydia and Laura. Having nothing to do I walked around our huge backyard observing the green and black stripes spider that infested the rosebushes. I don't why I did it but I stuck my hand into a rosebush and while I waited to be stung, I was surprised I wasn't instead a spider crawled up my hand and just stared at me with it's black beady eyes.

After hours of just staring at the spider who did the same, it just walked away back into it's nest leaving me to wonder why it didn't attack me

The meeting took about four hours to be concluded. When my cousins came out they all looked at me differently which made me wonder if the secret they just knew pertained to me. This thought and how Danielle looked at made me feel uneasy, I could see the fear well up in her eyes. I thought to ask John or Olivia but I knew they wouldn't tell me anything.

Some hours later Samuel and his family had packed up their bags ready to go. I went to my room and scooped up my laptop from the table and switched it on I haven't had time to check my email since I arrived. As I checked I had a email from Caston college, the email said I got into the college. It came yesterday during my crisis, but nonetheless I was elated suddenly I saw a incoming video call from my best friend since I was little, Riley.

I tapped on the green button and screamed in excitement to my surprise Riley was Also screaming in excitement which left me wondering what had happened to her

"Hey Nikki you won't believe what just happened to me" Riley spoke to me trying to contain her high level of excitement

"What happened Riley"

"I just saw a message from Caston college saying I got in" then she burst into a hyper giggle in which I joined her of course

"I also got into caston"

"No way, so we'll also go to college together. Sweet!" Riley gave out a high pitch scream that almost deafened me but I was used to it by now.

Riley had always been the crazy force in my life that always pushed me to do so many crazy things

"I will be arriving at Canada tomorrow" I let my plans known to her

"I'll wait for you there, I want us to step into campus together" Riley spoke with pure ecstasy

"It must be very exciting for you, seeing that you would be in the same college with Dave" Riley began to raise her eyebrows up and down, her hazel eyes glittered as my cheeks began heat up at the mere mention of Dave Gustin my highschool Senior crush and boyfriend. He got into caston last year and to be honest he was one of the reason I wanted to get into caston so badly. Fuck, he was the only reason. Since he left this long distance relationship wasn't quite working, we hardly spoke mostly texted but I know it will all change once I get into college tomorrow

"I'm not that excited, it would just be okay if I perhaps see him at him at college" I lied I was totally excited and Riley knew it, the twitching of my right eye gave me away. Curse you right eye. I had never been able to lie all because of my right eye that always gave me away

"Have you told your dad" she applied emphasis on the word dad

"Not yet but..." I paused as I heard a indistinctive sound coming from the other side of the screen

"Oh shit, I have to go my mom is calling me but we'll see tomorrow" and immediately the vision of Riley was gone so I closed the laptop and got out of my room with the intent of speaking to my dad about the email.

I got downstairs and stopped at the door labeled George, I took a deep breath then double knocked the wooden door then I heard a somber voice say come in

George P.O.V

There she was, the face that took away my beloved Amanda. She walked into my room acting so innocent but I could see through her act

"What do you want" I dropped the book I had been reading about psychopathic psychosis on the glass table beside me

"Umm...I have some good news" I wasn't interested in whatever news she had so I decided to say nothing, after some minutes she took some ballsy steps forward

"I got an email from caston, and I got in"

"So you will be leaving tomorrow"

"Yeah dad, aren't you happy for me. Mom would have wanted me to study there" stupid girl that would be the last place Amanda would want you studying in, not after the nightmare she went through there

"If you're done you may leave" finally all the tears that welled in her eyes was unleashed but I didn't flinch in fact I relished it. She turned around headed for the door, her face red from crying and all I could think about was how to make her suffer a lot for taking my Amanda away from me. Maybe just maybe I thought deep in my mind, she will be able to pay for her sins at Caston college or should I say bloodyville. A evil smirk found it's place into my lips as I laughed out loud maniacally.
