Chapter 8 The need to move out

My mom is standing at the door, looking at me as i came closer to the front porch of the mansion. I had forgotten about my punishment with the school board after my subtle encounter with Stefan back at the car. I stood in front of her, waiting to be interrogated before finally let into the house. " Eloise." She breathed out. "I absolutely think you should leave your school."

"What do you mean?" My eye brows furrow, confusion washes over me. The only sound being heard was the contineous tapping of her fingers on the door. "Why would you say so?."

"Child," She strided infront me, staring at me with worried eyes. Sometimes, i feel she was hiding something from me, but you never can tell. "It has become dangerous." I moved back.

"Mom. This is the fifth time I'm changing the location of study and this.." I pointed at her, "And this flimsy excuse is what I get. What exactly is the problem?"

I fucking went four to five schools as i grew up from kindergarten to grade nine. Now I've settled back in Springfield high school thinking there'd be no reason to worry about moving out and here she is trying to convince me because of an incident that happened in school.

"You're leaving the school and that's final."

"What if i refuse to move this time?" I was pissed. "You have no say on that." Dawn said coming into the discussion. She was beaming happily as she has finally won over me. I glared dangerously at her feeling very angry at how my mom would make a decision without asking for my opinion. "You both have no say." My eyes lit up and i looked back at my mom. "Do you mean i'm included?" Dawn asked.

"Yes. You both are moving. That's final." Mom said and walked inside. Almost immediately, a hand grabbed my arm and turned me over. "I've had it up here with you, Eloise. To be frank with you, if you don't want to see the other side of me, you undo what you've done because if finally we moved out to a new location because of you again, i won't let you rest, i repeat, i won't let you rest." Dawn sneered and walked back inside.

...................................

We sat and ate breakfast the next morning without Dawn. Mom couldn't stop telling me how our new school would be totally fun for us. I kept cursing and muttering lowly to my self of why i had to cause this, if i had quietly left the Mr. Caleb's class, it wouldn't had resulted to this. It seem like whenever dad went on a long business trip, she finds it hard to keep us in a place. We moved like we're being pursued out of our house on basis.

Joyce walked down the stairs with a frown plastered on her face, only God knows what Dawn had said to her.

"She refused?" Mom asked casually. "Yes. She threw the food in the waste bin."

Mom said nothing, she sipped her coffee and stood up, she started walking upstairs.

In a short while, there were yelling and scolding in Dawn's room and the next i heard was a slap. I gasped. It hasn't gotten to that.

Mom walked downstairs and sat in her seat. "As i was saying, the school has..." She started as if nothing had happened. "Mom. Please i like our school. It's literally the best of the best. Please i promise not to cause trouble."

She cleared her throat and dropped the mug. "Sweetheart. I didn't want you to move because you caused trouble in school, i wanted you to leave because it's not safe in your school. I knew there was trouble once i stepped into your school. I smelt it and it isn't very good for you. There's a problem beyond me and all we can do right now, is to run, for our lives."

"Do you mean our lives are in trouble?" I asked. She went back to her coffee not giving me a reply. I know she was hiding something from me. I could feel that. I closed my eyes and tried reading her mind, i snapped my eyes open immediately. There was a large wall blocking me from her mind, how's she able to do that?, no human can do that. Humans have no power, I looked at her. She was busy with her meal and doesn't look concerned. "There's a problem." I muttered inaudibly to myself. Could it be my powers are fading?.

"Jake isn't here yet. Your driver would take you to school."

"Mom. You need to know this," I said and she looked at me. " I and Jake broke up."

"Why?"

"He cheated."

"Sorry, dear. So who was the boy that you brought home?" I bent down as i remembered the incident that happened in the car. 'And beautiful too.' Made my cheeks become crimson.

"Hello." Mom said bringing me out of my thought. "You're blushing." She said. I smiled and looked down embarrassed. "Get your ass off the chair and go to school." I sprang up to my feet and kissed her forehead. "Bye, mom." I said and tried to go. "That boy must be lucky." She said, i look at her confused, trying to make a meaning out of her statement. I shrugged and left ignoring her choice of words. At times, her words seem like parables.

I opened my locker and grabbed out my notebook. I turned and found my two backstabbing friends walking towards me. I rolled my eyes and turned to my locker to lock it. "Good morning." I heard Tyson says. Tyson greetings sounds like a plan. "You don't greet me." I said and turned to them. "And act of saying, I'm sorry."

"Silly." I started walking away from them. "Please don't leave us." Molly shouted behind. "The same way you left me yesterday." I mumbled and walked ahead of them. I can't believe those two did what they did to make Stefan take me home.

I walked into the messy detention class and everyone's attention drawed on me. I looked around and found my supposed seat, somewhere I'd like to sit, i scruntized the seat and scoffed. I smell a prank. My table has no legs neither is the chair left out.. Once i sank my butt in that chair, it would instantly gum to my butt. I heard a cleared throat behind me and i turned to see Mrs Alan. "Find a seat." She ordered.

I looked at where she was supposed to stand and teach, a bucket of paint placed up the ceiling with a rope tied down the window. "Take my advice, avoid the podium." I told her and started going to sit in between two guys, Jacob and his friend to their atmost surprise.

I was still glaring back at Jecob when i heard a shout from Mrs Alan. I gasped as statue was covered with crimson red paint and everyone burst into laughter.
