"What about your aunt and uncle?" Stacy asked. Almora sighed and said "Well, they haven't stopped with their taunting but I'm going to shut them up for good this Thanksgiving. I've had enough of their negative remarks".
After a while of gisting about different things, Almora said "You guys won't be able to believe what my brother told me on our way home". "What did he tell you?" Stacy asked, already curious.
"Evans and his family are coming over on Tuesday for lunch and dinner" she said. Hearing this, Amy and Stacy had a shocked expression on.
Even without seeing them, Almora already knew how they would look like right now. "What?? Why don't you tell your dad now to stop that monster from coming anywhere near you" Stacy half yelled into the phone causing Almora and Amy to move the phone away from their ear.
Almora put it back on her ear after she was sure Stacy had finished yelling. "I don't want to tell my dad yet. I want to give him the perfect humiliation. I'll tell Dad during the dinner" Almora explained. "That seems like a nice plan" Amy supported and Stacy nodded like they could see her from the phone. "Does your brother know?" Stacy asked.
"Yh he does. I told him on our way back and he's also in on the plan" Almora replied.
"Are you fine?" Amy suddenly asked. Almora sighed into the phone and replied "Yeah I am. I've to be strong because I'm not that same little girl of before. I want to set an example for other girls so that they will be able to speak up when they face the same thing that happened to me. I also want them to be strong and not hide in their rooms thinking that they have been stained".
"We're so proud of you Al" Amy said and Stacy also smiled from the other end. "Okay enough with the gloomy talk. Hope you guys haven't forgotten that we are meeting at Damsdale park" Almora reminded. "Yh we remember" Stacy replied.
"Okay guys talk to you later. I need to take a beauty nap" Almora said, yawning. "Yh me too" Amy seconded. "Me three" Stacy said and they laughed. After talking for a while they hung up.
Almora laid on her bed properly and dozed off to sleep.
She stretched on the bed as she woke up. Still not opening her eyes, she stretched her hands to both sides looking for her phone. She found it and opened it to check the time on the phone. She had finally opened her eyes.
"It's 1pm already. Let me go and check the kitchen for what I can eat. I'm so hungry" she said, rubbing on her tummy.
Her room was designed with wallpapers of red flowers. It was quite large like a combination of two big bedrooms together. She had a study table, a space where she could exercise or practice her dance.
The bed was the size of a small bedroom. Each rooms in their house had it's personal bathroom. She got up, put on her slippers and went straight to the door.
On opening the door, she met her two cousins passing by. 'Little devils' Almora rolled her eyes in her mind. They stopped and faced her. "If it isn't the demon Red" Isabel, the elder one spoke.
"Shut up!" Almora half yelled at them. "You both know that I am elder to you, right?. So I would want you to keep your dirty little remarks to yourself and don't disturb me again. Now leave" she ordered but they didn't budge.
"Leave!!" she yelled with her eyes shining red and they scurried away immediately. "Why couldn't I meet someone else to bump into" Almora complained as she rubbed her forehead.
She locked the door behind her and walked to the kitchen. She met her mum and aunt cooking. She walked to the freezer and brought out a vanilla ice cream and sat down on the kitchen stool. She began to dig in immediately.
"You haven't let go of your addiction to ice cream" her mother said with one hand on her waist.
"Mom you know my body needs to be cooled down" she said, pouting her mouth.
"Continue" her mother patted her head and smiled at her then she went back to what she was doing.
"Why do you keep feeding her?. I'm sure she is using some sort of mind control machine on you all" her aunt Bia said, rolling her eyes.
"Bia, keep your negative words to yourself. I won't hear any other thing from you concerning my daughter. We are here to cook so face that" Mrs Rencia said, using the words to slap her making her not to speak again.
Almora kept having her ice cream while still gisting with her mom. One wouldn't know what Almora had been through yesterday as she had a very bright smile on.
