Chapter 19
A few minutes later, I'm still awake and I decide to wake up, so I switch the lights back on and head to the bathroom to take a shower.
Scott is coming for me at seven in the morning so I might as well get ready early.
After my warm shower, I grab my white robe, put it on over my pajamas and head downstairs to make some pancakes. I like mine fluffy so I take my time while preparing them.
A smile curves on my face when I remember that dad loves my pancakes, I know he missed them and he'd be glad to have them for breakfast.
At around six, I am done cooking and eating breakfast. To avoid waking anyone up I tiptoe back upstairs, and right before I close my door, my parent's bedroom door opens.
"Good morning Kyrah, you're up early," dad says while yawning and stretching his arms.
"Morning dad, I made pancakes for breakfast. Just how you like them," I smile when his eyes brighten up and without wasting time he's on his way to the kitchen downstairs and I laugh heartily.
At exactly seven sharp, the door bell rings and luckily I am done getting ready and I need to put on my shoes. For Roxy, today I'll be wearing all black from head to toe.
Heading to answer the door my dad whispers to me.
"He's an early riser, I bet he learnt it from his dad, you know, army stuff," dad says, taking a large bite of a pancake he's holding.
I chuckle and open the door.
"Good morning, Kyrah," Scott says.
What a sight to behold!
He's in all black too and I bite my lip while staring at his abs poking threateningly through his black t-shirt.
Damn!
"Uhm, hey, good morning," I say shyly.
"You guys planned to wear black or something?" Dad asks from the living room while holding onto his large blue coffee mug and we turn to look at him in surprise.
"Oh, no sir, it's just a coincidence," Scott answers with a grin and to avoid more questions from my dad, I grab my backpack and head out.
"Bye dad, love you," I shout.
"I love you too," he shouts back.
I shut the door closed.

Today's lecture wasn't that bad and just as we're leaving class with Roxy, Scott, Jim, Tyler and Maeve, my heart stops when I hear a voice call out my name. It's that voice from the call. I turn back and behold! Sabrina. Red lips, red off shoulder crop top and white jeans with black wedges.
"Sweet Kyrah, little annoying, boyfriend-stealing Kyrah. Why did you hang up when I called you?" she snaps.
She's accompanied by a flawless looking girl who is in a white crop top and blue jeans, her hair is sleek black, she looks pretty. I love her manicure.
Focus Kyrah, focus!
I shake my head and lead my eyes to Sabrina, folding my hands in front of me.
"Great! It's the devil's daughter, in a crop top. What do you want?" I say through my gritted teeth.
"Oh, I want you to leave Blakey alone," she threatens.
"Pff! Blakey, such a lame nickname," Roxy comments and the two share a death glare.
"What are you going to do? If the guy doesn't like you just accept things and move on for crying out loud. I am tired of all this 'Blake this, Blake that!' drama almost every single day. Buzz off Sabrina, jeez," Jim shouts and we all stare at him in shock.
He rarely talks that much but the day he does, he's complaining about Sabrina.
Sabrina walks to him and eyes him the way she always does, from head to toe and she pinches his cheeks.
"Little boy, you don't know who I am. Better ask around, or better yet, ask your brother who I really am Jim," she hisses.
She knows his name! I gasp when she slaps the hell out of Jim and he trips back and lands on the wall of the hall.
"Feisty mama," Tyler says and I shove my elbow into his stomach to shut him up. Maeve is already running away and so is Sabrina's flawless-haired friend.
Scaredy cats. I roll my eyes.
"I have had enough of you, you filthy bitch," Jim is fuming in anger. I swear I can see steam escaping from his ears.
And here we go again.
He pulls Sabrina's hair and pushes her to the floor and smacks the shit out of her before Scott pulls him off of her.
A crowd has already gathered and two security guards in brown uniform are upon us.
"What's going on?" one of them asks.
Sabrina who is still on the tiled floor forces an outburst and begins to cry.
"Sir, these ruthless students are harassing me. Especially this one," she points at me with pretentious tears and I gasp loudly, my jaw dropping instantly.
"Unbelievable! Somebody please, kill me now. Who does she think she is?" Roxy rolls her eyes and groans.
"Sir, nothing serious happended here, Kyrah didn't do anything wrong," Scott defends and while holding onto Jim who is breathing heavily in anger trying to break free from Scott's hands.
"Yeah, it's not a crime when someone deserves a slap or two," Tyler says while grinning at Sabrina who stands up and pushes him and the crowd goes, "Whoah!"
"Do you have a death wish or something? If I were you, I'd be running home right now," Tyler warns and lifts his hand to punch Sabrina but Roxy and Scott stop him right on time.
I don't know why I am so helpless in such situations, my friends, except Maeve, always fight back for me while I stand there watching, immobile like a mannequin at the mall, standing still, looking pretty. I don't blame Maeve, she's wouldn't even hurt a fly.
By the time my mind registers what's happening, Roxy is arguing with the security guards, Sabrina is crying fake tears while grabbing Tyler's hoodie, Tyler is yelling at her, Jim is struggling to get out of Scott's tight hold and the security guards have now increased in number.
"Fuck this!" Roxy yells while stomping her foot loudly.
"No cursing allowed around this area ma'am," a male security guard says.
"Fuck you!" Roxy yells back and right on cue her middle fingers are up in the air.
The two shades of Roxy are totally different. One, a savage and the other an emotional wreck!
"Enough!" and everyone pauses to look at me, well not actually me but Blake who is now behind me pushing through the crowd surrounding us and once my eyes spot him, my legs become weak and the air feels congested, the last thing I hear is...
"Kyrah! Somebody please call the nurse!" Roxy screams.
Everything gets pitch black after my vision becomes blurry. I couldn't breathe.
"Kyrah!"
