Chapter 9 - Chapter 9: Dad is home

Bethany Lachlan, the captain of the cheerleaders came over to their table. Your majesties, hope you're having a good time in our school she asked as she flashed them her brightest smile. Marcellus just shrugged his shoulders, while Alexander just stared at her with his face cold and emotionless. They totally ignored her, Damon seeing she got ignored tried to make her feel less embarrassed said with time am sure they'll love it here after staying awhile in school. Bethany sashayed out of there, she's really something. Abigail tugged my shirt did you see that ? Yes Abi I saw what happened I said. She's trying to throw her self on my prince charming, am glad there ignored her or else my fragile heart can't take it if he's into another girl she held her chest dramatically. I just shook my head this girl is really something I just hope she survives this crushtis virus because it's eating them from within . Cassie, Cyprian called me. Yes I answered. You're not into the princes ,are you ? Of course am not, infact I consider it a waste of time to be obsessed over something you can't get no matter what you do. Hmmm I see it makes sense when you put it that way, meanwhile my best friend just glared at me am sure she realizes am saying the truth, she just can't accept it. The princes just stood up, all the while they were leaving the room was quiet nobody made a sound while they pass our table, prince Alexander stared at with those cold emerald eyes of his like his eyes were telling me he heard everything I said concerning them . I shuddered in my seat , instantly I lowered my eyes . All the while nobody said a word, the moment they left the cafeteria I let out my breath which I didn't know I was holding it in . They really are scary I said to myself, they are not meant to trifled with, but did he truly heard what I said about them. How is that even possible they were at least four tables away from ours. Aren't they handsome Abi probed, I can't wait for prince Marcellus to notice me she said dreamily. You'll never what the future holds maybe one day your dream might come and the prince will take interest in you Cyprian told her. Hmm I hope say so it would be a dream come true for me. Trrinnngg the bell rang , recess is over. With that we head back to class to have the last period of the day.

At Cassie's house

Welcome back sir, how was your trip, the maid ushered Mr Brooks into the house. Thank you he replied Is Cassie back from school? No, not yet sir. I see, thank you very much. Jairo you're back you didn't tell me you were coming came the voice of a flabbergasted Nyssa. I too didn't plan on coming today either but am here anyways. That's true it doesn't matter, she hugged him tightly and kissed him I've really missed you . I miss you too, so how are the girls most especially Cassie how is she doing? One could see the love in his eyes when he mentioned his daughter's name, despite asking about the other girls it's obvious to the eyes of the onlookers that this man cares so much about his biological child. Nyssa seeing this clenched her first, she was really mad but she suppressed her anger with a smile. They're all doing fine, you worry too much. So how was your trip hope it was successful? Yes it really was, am glad the whole deal came off. You look really exhausted, come let me take you to your room Nyssa said. You're right about that I truly am exhausted. Then a hot soak in the bathtub and a nap is all you need .

At Moon high Academy

The school is over,most of the students had gone home while some remained in school for other activities Cassie was no different. She stayed behind to read because she knew she wouldn't have any spare time at home. Abigail had already left and the twins must have followed suit I'll head over to the library so I can concentrate more and also help the librarian arrange some of the books that was borrowed. Good afternoon ma, how are you doing? Am good Cassie thank you for asking. After greeting the librarian I took my seat buried myself in my books, after several hours I was tired and famished but I know that I have to volunteer in arranging those books. Ma'am are these the books to be rearranged? Yes they are, thank you so much Cassandra for volunteering to help God bless you. Another thirty minutes passed by and I was finally done arranging the books . The librarian was so grateful, she even offered me tea and biscuits but I had to decline saying I was late . I hurried to the subway and boarded a train back home I sat down and wore my earphones,looked out the window and enjoyed the evening sky in it's glory. I wish mom could see this . I walked home in heavy silence, feeling sad just then I heard my name, looked up and saw my dad at the front porch. He was waving at me excitedly I could see the eagerness in his eyes my heart melted at his excitement to see me he looked like a child excited to his parents. I ran to embrace him and he responded in kind he hugged me so passionately,when we broke the hug . When did you get back dad ? In the afternoon, actually I'm supposed to be home tomorrow but I couldn't because I missed you he told me. I missed you too I hugged him again , now that you're back I have a lot of things to talk about I told him excitedly. Okay I'm game but you have to freshen up first, dad said . Okay I'll back in a jiffy I said quickly ran upstairs to my room but when I opened my bedroom door lo and behold, I saw my step mom and sisters in my room. What are you doing in my room I questioned. You must be happy now that your dad is back Nyssa asked, I didn't say anything to her claim. That doesn't matter to me remember you must say anything to him, she told me. I know you told me that already I replied. Good am glad you remember, now we have to act as one happy family for your father's sake. Must we really do that mom, Jayana asked . Yes we must , we want your dad to be happy Nyssa replied. Stepdad you mean Jadeyn countered. Either ways he's still still your dad it's just for awhile until he goes back, you can do that can't you girls. We'll try our best they said in unison. What good children you're Nyssa praised them, now that we've made it clear we'll be on our way. Finally they're gone..... now I can be some air of relief.
