Chapter 10
Ava’s POV
I groaned as I sat up on my bed the next morning. it was comfortable and I wished I didn’t have to leave it. I took another glance around my room and I smiled fondly.
I loved everything about my new bedroom, the space, the brightness, the aesthetics, and the interior, along with everything in it. Everything about it is just so appealing to me, except of course for Mason.
The thought of him made me frown and I hissed and rolled my eyes at the thought. He wasn’t only bugging my life, he was also hell bent on invading my dream, telling from the stupid music stunt he had played last night. I ran my fingers through my hair as I tried to brush the thought of him to the back of my head.
I’m not going to let someone as stupid and irrelevant as him ruin my day!
Turning to my bedside table, I picked up my phone and went through my reminders. I have two classes to attend today, one of which isn’t my best class.
I stood up from the bed and made my way to the bathroom, freshening up and getting ready for school. I picked out a black crop top with a pair of blue jeans to match, letting my hair fall on my mid back. I dabbed on a little lip gloss and eyeliner before making my way out of the room.
Walking down the stairs, I had wanted to get myself a bowl of cereal for breakfast when the farmilar smell of toast and eggs filled up my nostrils.
“Good Morning!” I greeted them loudly on stepping into the dining area. My mother and Danny were laughing at something one of them had said and neither of them noticed my presence until I spoke.
“Good Morning baby girl,” My mum breathed out warmly, “Good morning Ava.” Danny also echoed right after and I smiled.
I loved the energy around the house so far and I made my way to one of the empty chairs, sinking into it to eat my breakfast which had already been set. They continued whispering quietly between each other, making me feel like such a third wheel, and soon, they bursted out laughing.
“What’s funny?” I demanded, laughing a little even though I had no idea what was funny as I picked up my toast and took a bite.
“Nothing really, we were just talking about random things.” My mum replied and I shrugged, “Oh, before I forget darling, could you go with me to the store? We need groceries.” She added with her usual pout that always makes her look like a baby.
“Oh, I’m sorry,” I apologised, my face falling as I spoke, “I have classes today and I really cannot afford to miss them. I’m working towards pushing my grades higher so you’ll be proud of me.” I added and she smiled.
“I’m always proud of you regardless of your grades, sweetheart. I just miss shopping with you.” She said and I laughed proudly as I concentrated on my toast.
“It’s fine, let her go to school and I’ll drive you to the grocery store.” Danny suggested and my mum eagerly agreed to go with him.
Just like her, I also missed going grocery shopping with my mum and I had made up my mind to make it up to her soon.
“Good Morning.” I heard a familiar and annoying husky voice echo from the entrance of the dining room, and automatically, my entire day has gotten ruined. I was hoping I wouldn’t have to see him this morning, but I wasn’t even all that surprised that this is currently happening because, when has the universe really been on my side?
I glanced back at him and honestly hated how good he looked so early in the morning..
“Wash your hands, geez.” I muttered when he proceeded to pick one of the toast as he sat beside me. Intentionally bumping me with his shoulders, which only got more and more annoyed.
“How was your night? Slept well?” He asked our parents and I rolled my eyes, knowing he was trying to refer to the fact that he had planned to keep me up throughout the night with his stupidity loud music.
“Stupid fucking dumbass.” I swore beneath my breath as I lowered my head to continue eating. Everything about him just irritated me more and more, making me dislike him further.
I took a side glance at him and hissed again.
“Mason, why don’t you drive your sister to school today?” Danny asked and I whipped my head back around to look at him.
“You know, she doesn’t know the way from the new house yet and you have a car.” He added and Mason and I both spoke at once.
“NO!” We both echoed out in unison and I turned to look at him, shooting him an annoyed glare.
The sound of my mum’s laughter got me angrier..
“C’mon Ava. Let him take you, I’m sure he doesn’t mind.” Danny started.
“Oh, I do. I mind, trust me.” Mason butted in but stopped talking when Danny cleared his throat.
“It’s fine, I can take the bus.” I protested, hissing at Mason and praying they would allow me to take the bus.
“Ava?” My mother cautioned, “Please Mason, just drive her to school till she can find herself a ride or figure out the way from here.” My mother pleaded and I sighed in surrender.
“Don’t get used to this. I really don’t want to have you in my car because I know you’ll ruin it.” He whispered low enough that both our parents couldn’t hear him but loud enough for me to hear him.
I glared at him as I continued to eat even though I’ve unsurprisingly lost my appetite. I ate the rest of my toast in anger and glanced at my my mum and her husband having the best time of their lives.
They were talking, smiling and joking around, oblivious to the fact that Mason and I were at the verge of killing each other.
Mason finally stood to leave the table and I also reluctantly stood up to follow him since I had no other choice than to allow him to drive me to school.
We don’t even go to the same school for heaven’s sake.
“Bye.” I called out as I exited the dining room and they said theirs in return. I walked out of the house to meet Mason waiting for me in his car, while glaring at me like I had wasted his whole time while making him wait for me, when that hadn’t been the case at all.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
