MY head hurts so so bad. I want to die. I'd just finished my math exam. My mouth still feels like I have a cotton but on my tongue.
"Why again did I agree to go partying a day before finals? "I asked myself as I walk back to my dorm. Lydia and Chloe already finished and submitted early, my guess? To go back to the dorms and sleep. It was my plan as well.And opening the door I guessed right, Lydia was lying halfway on her bed the lower part of her was on the floor. And Chloe?? I can't say, her neck was in a really awkward position.
And they were still both in their uniform guess they didn't have time to change.And I did the same flinging my backpack by my bed I got in and snuggled my pillow.

Someone was shaking my shoulder. "Dee" please leave me alone. "Dee!" Maybe if I ignored her, she'd leave me alone. "Wake up Dolores or so help me God, I'll give you a bath." "Urgh! Fine" I said getting up.Lydia was standing in front of me her golden blond hair was a mess. Chloe came out of the bathroom holding a bowl of water.
"No need for the water, I'm up already" I said raising both hands in surrender.
"We gotta talk" she said placing the bowl on a chair.
"Alright", I said folding my legs.
"So last night rocked big time" that was Lydia.
"Uh hu?"
"What happened?" Chloe said in a no-nonsense voice.
"We were so worried I thought someone kidnapped you or something. Number one rule of girl time, stick together" Chloe scolded. "I'm sorry okay." What do I tell them?"And then those hot guys in suit almost manhandled us to that car saying they were taking us to you. I thought I was being kidnapped!"
"Am sorry, okay" I said in a small voice, what am I gonna tell them?
"You were there one second and the next? Boom! We were worried sick. I for one thought you've been kidnapped or dead somewhere in a ditch." Chloe scolded.
"I second that" Lydia said waving her hand.
We both turned towards her and glared.
"I'm really sorry, I got in a bit of a problem." I need to think of something fast, can't really tell them about the family.
After the empty lot last night, the drive back with dark and dangerous and yes, I decided to call him that from now on. Dark cause everything was dark about him, from his charcoal hair to the black on black suit that hugged his muscled arms. And for dangerous, didn't need anyone to tell me that he was dangerous, hell everything about him screamed danger, Was a very quiet on. More like I was trying really hard not so freak out and scream bloody murder. I had also wanted to ask him where he was taking me then decided against it.When he pulled over there was another SUV in front of us. There i found Chloe and Lydia they seemed frightened and as i got out from the car they did the same and after asking if i was alright we strolled back to the academy and tip toed to our dorm.
I was asleep before my head hit my pillow but not before I got a 'you-are-so-explaining-yourself-look from Chloe. Which brings me back to this conversation. They gave me a look that screamed 'well'."My cousin saw me and the she was going to tell my parents" I decide to go with the truth, or parts of it anyways.
"Whoa! You mean that blonde?" Lydia asked. I nodded my head. "No offence but she looked like a whore" Lyd said. "Non taken, she's a grade A Bitch" I scoffed out. "Anyway, the owner of the club is friends with my family so he gave me a ride" could I come up with a better excuse? No way they were going to buy that."Mmm that makes sense" Chloe said nodding her head.
It does?! I try to keep a neutral expression."But seriously Dee, you never told us you knew so many hot guys. I mean that makes sense! You never swoon over cute guys here at the academy because you've seen more hotter guys!" Lydia all but yelled.
"That is so true for a while there I was wondering if you didn't have ovaries" Chloe deadpans with a flip of her hair.
"That is so so gross" I said as we all burst out laughing.
"But really if I wasn't freaking out of over the whole kidnapping thing, I would have jumped one of them" both Chloe and I stared at Lydia.
"What? Don't tell me you haven't fantasize about being Kidnapped and have wild animalistic sex by a guy who looks like a Greek god" she said with wide eyes.
"What!" I screamed and the laughter continued.
****
"And let the packing begin!" Chloe said with a fake French accent.
"Argg!" Lydia scoffed. I laughed shaking my head and walking to my closet. Good thing I didn't have much clothes. After a very gross conversation with my friends about sexual fantasies we got hungry and went to the dinner Hall. Chloe and Lydia pulled me to the 'rich' kids table where I'd seen Michael again. He asked me why I didn't come back to the party after my visit to the washroom. I'd told him that Lydia and Chloe wanted to go back to the academy so we left. After that there was an exchange of contacts. Sharing hugs and kisses as everyone said their goodbyes. Some students were even wiping teary faces. Making plans to hangout. It was a little sad. Now we were back in our dorm rooms to pack because everyone will be vacating the academy tomorrow. My clothes mainly consisted of tank tops, crop tops, and sweat shirts. A lot of shorts, leggings and sweat pants. This is one of the times I was glad I didn't own a huge wardrobe like my friends especially Lydia. The only problem will be my art supplies. I swear I had no idea they were so many. "Well, I'd have to throw them away." I shrugged. After throwing out what I didn't need which turned out to be a lot. I strolled into my dorm and made a bee line for my bed. "You done?" Lydia asked zipping up her fifth suitcase exhaling. "Hm" I nodded my head and fell on my bed. "Night Dee" "Night Lyd" and I fell into a deep slumber.*** I don't know how to feel as I see the familiar buildings that lead to my home, can't really call it that, I mean a home is somewhere you feel save and happy. Right? I should probably feel thrilled as we got closer. Aren't you supposed to feel boundless joy over going home and seeing members of your family again? Chloe and Lydia always talk about how they missed their family back at the academy.
I heard loud voices outside my room, someone was screaming like a banshee. I really don't want to know who it is. After the delicious lunch with mama, I went back to my room. Throughout lunch mother seemed out of it. Like she was sad about something. I told her stories about the academy and about Lydia and Chloe. When I asked what was making her distracted or sad, she smiled and covered it up. I just have a feeling it'd be something related to father. Was he cheating on her again? Or mistreating her. She wouldn'
Last night as I walked away from the living room, I told myself that I wouldn't cry and that it wasn't true, it couldn't be true. I told myself That I'd be strong. But as soon as I walked into my room and locked my door. The water works started coming. Loud sobs from deep inside me. Because I knew, I just knew that it was true. I was getting married and there's no two ways about it. So, I cried my heart out until my eyes closed and I slept off.
"Good morning, Beatrice" Carlos said and I am reminded of his presence. "Carlos, I didn't see you there" mother replied. "I should get going. You two have a nice day." He said as he stood up and walked out leaving his cup on the table no doubt expecting someone to get rid of it. "You wanted to talk honey?" I snapped my gaze back to mother. "Mmm. Yes" well where do I start. "Well, who is it?" I asked am not even sure I want to know anymore. "Who?" Mother asked feigning ignorance This time I shot her a glare. "I'm going to assume you mean your future husband" she said calmly. I was anything but calm He's not my future husband! I wanted to shout but decided to keep shut. "His name is Dominko Salvatore" mother said dropping the bomb. My heart jumped. I inhale, knowing his name doesn’t make me feel different. This still doesn’t feel real. "Hmm, Salvatore?" I thought out loud. That doesn't make any sense. Last night before I slept off, I tried to remember
"What is this mother?" I asked as soon as I saw her. Immediately I left my room I walked straight to the kitchen where I knew mama would be assisting with dinner.She froze for a moment before she slowly turned to face me. Like she's being preparing for this confrontation. "I'm sorry Lola. But it could not be avoided or prolongedfor much longer" she said slowly. “Its not like its happening next week for God sake” “Actually dear, it is…” she drawled out Swallowing a lump in my throat I pinched the bridge of my nose “Next week? Next week?” I drew in a deep breath needing to yell. “are you people kidding me?” “I’m trying to come to terms with the news I just got, what? Two days ago? And now this? what’s with the rush?” “We cant keep them waiting any longer. You turned eighteen two months ago you know how things are” I burry my face in my palms. I refused to cry, I feel like I’ve being crying nonstop for da
Now grandfather Alonzo and I walked arms and in arms to my bedroom on the second floor."You have grown so well in this two years Delores. Almost good enough to eat" grandfather Alonzo said just as we got to the second floor. Yuck! What do you say to that? "Er mmm thanks?" It came out more like a question. He chuckled, his walking cane making a tap-tap noise as we walked down the empty hallway. “Answer me Dolores, did any of those little boys give you a hard time? Touch you? I would be happy to make them loose it” "Nothing I couldn't handle" Touch me? Weird. Glad we were already at my door. Wouldn't have to answer any questions."You are so special my dear Lola. So very special you have no idea" grandfather Alonzo whispered. "Grandfather Alonzo could you please tell my mother I decided to retire for the evening?" I asked, a sweet smile tugging at my lips. "Of course my dear" he said
Looking at the mirror I see a dark gray eyes, perfectly plucked eyebrows and pink painted lush lips. A perfectly beautified face. My dark black brown hair was pulled into a slick bun at the top of my head. My hair looks shiny like soft silk.
For the next three hours I was introduced to so many people from my new family. I'd just manage to escape saying I needed a drink. Snatching off a glass of brown liquid. I took a sip and almost choked almost spat it out. "Well, hello there beautiful, you look smoking" a guy said from walking in front of me. He was quite young, around my age. But really attractive
