Chapter 4 Jack

~Freda's Pov~

Wide awake was blasting in my ears. Wonderful start for a morning. Welcome back to school Freda. I had my bath as quickly as I could because I really wanna meet my best friend. I missed her ass a lot and bitch did not text me one single time during the summer break.

She is so gonna die.

I decided to put on my very big red and black sweater and my favourite sneakers. I did customize the sneakers my self with a Scottish theme because i love the Scottish.



After dressing up and arranging my hair as well as my assignments, I picked up my phone from my bed and checked if I had any messages or missed calls but none.

I was almost sad but let's just see what the first day of school holds today. So I ran down stairs as quickly as I could because I was starving already.

On my way to the kitchen, I saw my elder brother on the couch and I was confused as to why he was not yet dressed up for school, "Good morning freak. Would you do me the honours of preparing for school, we are gonna be super late if you don't move your ass".

"Good morning to you too dickhead as you can see I am no longer in highschool". I facepalm myself.

My brother roared with laughter.

"Good morning mom. Where is dad and Where is Precious and Jake?"

"Good morning baby, how are you this morning? Your brothers are still getting ready but your dad is already off to work" I clearly saw the look in her eye when she spoke of dad she smiled immediately to cover it up. I walked to her and kissed her cheeks as she hugged me in return but she was smart to realise I was trying to steal food from her plate. I was hit on the head and I yelped in agony.

"Mom!!!???" I cried .

"Yeah baby" she laughed. It was the best way to make her laugh. Be stupid in a funny way.

I walked over to sit at the table when my younger brothers rushed for the door with their breakfast packaged for them. No way in hell was I gonna leave this house without eating breakfast. My food was passed to me and I ate in silence.

There was no noise until my mom yelled at my brother because he was always on his damn phone and laptop. I just laughed at their banter and went to kiss my mom a goodbye while my brother and I did our signature move. As I was about to leave the house I turned around and gave my brother the middle finger but all he did was laugh.

I walked out of my home and breathed in the fresh air. I had not left the house for a very very long time.

I smiled.

I walked to school everyday though. It was my own form of exercise since I was so lazy to do a proper exercise.

Screw it!

I would rather sit and eat and watch people get their body toned but that can never happen with me.

I was filled with my thoughts that I didn't even realise I was already at school. I just walked in silence and hoped no body notices me for the day because if they did, it won't be funny at all. Speaking out of experience.

And just in time I was almost caught off guard. Like what the hell is wrong with people these days and catching me off guard.

Guess what?

It was my long lost bitch, an asshole, the underestimated fool, my best friend,

"ALLISON !!!!!!"

"AMSOSORRYICOULDNTCALLYOUIGOTCARRIEDAWAYWITHJOY.FORGIVEMEPUNISHMEAMATYASERVICEALLYEQUEEN"

"Are you gonna calm down and talk or WHAT!!!??" and with that I collided my palm with her head.

She cried out in pain and I had to shush her

"Be quiet you cunt or you gonna make a scene"

Allison hated to be called a cunt. She found it very repulsive.

"I'm so so sorry. I couldn't call you, I got carried away with joy. Forgive me, punish me. I am at ya service all ye Queen" she said but then she continued, "if ye Queen calls me a cunt one more time I might break her nose" she said clearly annoyed.

I smiled sheepishly and I bowed to her like a Queen that she was and we both left for class.

Allison was my best friend for many reasons, one out of all of them is because she is crazy. I mean very crazy.

She once threatened a guy named Cole in school because he was being a bully. The guy was spreading rumours about girls who he had never had anything to do with and unfortunately I was one of them. That faithful morning before lessons, we were passing by Cole and his squad when we both overheard him say that he fucked me so hard that I was crying and begging him to stop. His friends roared with laughter but the next thing that occurred shocked me.

Allison walked up to Cole and punched him straight in the face, breaking his nose. I had no idea Allison was that strong. Before Cole could respond to the punch, she collided her knee with his stomach and he crouched down in front of her. She had an evil smirk on her and before anyone could stop her, she held Cole at the collar of his shirt and dragged him along the floor all the way to the Principal's office. Cole was thrashing all over the floor and his friends and everybody in the hallway all laughed at him and I was pretty sure he had no idea were Allison was taking him.

When we all got to the Principal's office, she let go of his shirt. Asshole thought he could retaliate but he was too late as he was stopped by the bell and by the voice of Principal James.

Like i'm gon let my thought come in for a moment.

Our principal wasn't the type who looked like he was in his forties. He was so young and he had a very good build that made girls in school drool just with him putting on a suit.

Just a suit....

He was 26 if I may add. So young to be a Principal but he did understand our ways and knew how to punish us when it was necessary. The funny thing now is I have not even talked about his face.

Oh Lord help me.

This Principal had the face of a god, his jaw are so arched like they were carved from stone perfectly, his eyes were green and I have never seen those eyes dull before, his lips were just perfect. Of course you should know what I mean when I say they are perfect.

For the love of God, Freda get a hold of yourself.

He was just perfect.

I was lost in my stupid thoughts that I didn't realise I was the only student left at the door. I shyly turned around ready to walk away when I was called back by James.

Well here goes everything....

"Allison Smith would you love to explain what is going on here?"

"Well.... Cole here was being a douchebag by deliberately picking on my best friend Freda and calling her a whore!"

Allison knew for sure how to get someone in trouble. Big trouble....

"And then you decided to drag him by his collar all the way to my office?"

"Yes, Principal James"

"Is what she said true Cole?"

"Hell no Jammy!!! This bitch just punched me out of nowhere, broke my damn nose and slammed her knee into my stomach. Who that?!!!!"

"A crazy bitch you thwart"

"woah woah Allison you need to calm down right now".

To cut my long story short. Cole was given a week's detention for false accusations and verbal abusing and calling the Principal "Jammy" he was asked to run the track for a whole week making his punishment longer.

Allison on the other hand was punished for breaking Cole's nose. It wasn't as bad as his, all she had to do was just run the track once everyday. She didn't seem bothered at all because she only smirk and thanked the Principal while winking at him, took my hand and ran for class because we were already late. She was crazy but I loved her.

But one thing bothered me in the midst of both my thoughts, walking to class with Ally and the tantrums I played this morning. Where was Marcus?

~LUNCH TIME~

I am still very worried because I have not even caught a glimpse of Marcus from the beginning of school today till now. Allison and I walked over to the cafeteria with our lunch in our trays. I sat facing the doors of the cafeteria but it was far away from it. Allison sat facing me. I knew I had this worry look on my face and that was when I was nudged by Allison.

"Fre, what are you constantly thinking about today huh?"

"Yeah yeah, you were thinking so hard that you did not even hear the bell ring" Natasha said.

"I... I..." I frowned.

Just at that moment I caught sight of Marcus smiling but he did not seem to bother about looking for me so I just concentrated on eating. I think I looked at his direction for long because Allison and Natasha were now looking in my direction as well.

"Aww... Is she missing her boyfriend?"

"Shut up bitch... Fre only has that look on her face when she has had a fight with the boy. What happened this time love?" Allison asked.

"Well... We just had an issue because he was supposed to come visiting but he didn't and he didn't bother to call me until 5pm. I did not really see the reason why he had to call me at such a time. He should not have called at all. So I was annoyed and I think I spoke to him in a very stupid manner. I shouldn't have spoken to him the way I did." I said.

"Forget about that for now Freda. You have a lot of things to think of now like prom, parties, a lot of parties and maybe just maybe final exams. So let go of it for now". Nat said with a cheerful glee on her face.

"Yeah she has a point and of course you know we are always hungry so let's just eat and be happy. So hey Nat who is the next guy to bang on ya wishlist. I know you have one so just tell us about the next one and the previous guy am very sure we missed a lot because of the break. I have a lot to tell you guys too" Ally was nothing but a bunch of joy.

I laughed hysterically at what she said about Nat and we talked while eating.

Natasha was my second best friend but truth be told I love Ally more than Nat because she was always there and even if we have not seen for ages, the vibe was always there but as for Nat, we knew each other well but it wasn't like that of Ally. She was also a crazy one and we always stick up for one another. She was also a very colourful one just like Ally, they both loved glitters but I like black. The three of us had things in common but not very much, that's what even brings us closer.

But something was off about Nat when we talked about Marcus .

After lunch, I didn't have any classes so I decided to walk home than take the bus.

I wonder what's gonna happen when I get home. I haven't seen my dad in days because he was always going to work as early as 4am.

My family wasn't really a happy one even if my mom and brothers did try to make the situation a lot better. The love and affection between my mom and dad died ages ago. Apparently because my dad always beat my mom over nothing. He gets angry and he beats her up. She tries to contribute to the family and it's duties and he beats her up. So as time goes on my dad stopped paying the bills and didn't even pay for groceries. My mom was all there is. It isn't easy for her at all because Jack is trying to get into school abroad and soon I will be going as well.

Dad only pays the fees of my siblings and i, considering the boys first before me was no longer a new thing.

If only my mom just made enough money per day. We wouldn't even bother about my dad at all.

I thought so much that I did not even realise I had gotten home. I unlocked the door and went in. As tired as I was from all the talking and thinking I just laid on the couch and next thing I knew I was fast asleep.

I woke up with a pillow next to me and I realised someone must have carried me to my room and that someone must be my elder brother. Only one strong enough to carry me. Just as i was about to close my eyes to continue my sleep my name was whispered in my ears to which a cold breeze followed immediately making me jolt up fast. A bark of laughter followed through and I realised I was being filmed by my siblings while my elder brother made that silly move. I launched at my brother with my weight and I think it took him by surprise.

Now the thing is I am not fat but I believe that I do have weight. No matter how much I eat, I am never fat and it's annoying.

We both landed on the floor with a thud and luckily for him he was the one with his back on the floor. My younger siblings only laughed like fools. Just as I was about to run for my brothers I was stopped by Jack who held me like his life depended on it and at that moment I realised he hugged me slightly and I stopped squirming. Precious and Jake were already out of the room so I got up from the floor to close the door. I sat beside my brother on the bed in silence but it was no longer bearable.

"Hey bro... You gon talk or what. Are you o....."

"I got transferred to a university in Ukraine and I will be going tomorrow. I wrote a scholarship exam to which I passed and was granted to any university of my choice. I hope you are not mad at me"

I hugged my brother closely showing that I was happy but I wasn't so happy.

"So this means I won't see you for 6-7 years if am not mistaken".

With that, for the very first time in my life, my brother showed his love for me. He gave me a kiss on my forehead and hugged me like the whole world was gonna crumble and at that moment he said, "Take care of mum and brothers. They need you more than they even need me. I love you more than you know".

"And you asshole did not tell me you sat for an exam so I could help you out or do something"I smacked his arm.

"Ouch.... Help me out with what exactly. I did not want to tell you because I knew you would be sad and cry your eyes out" he said smiling.

I wanted to say that he was being an asshole for talking like he was gonna die but instead I was greeted with tears.

I am so gonna miss my elder brother. Jack
