AFFECTED

Chapter 7

"Wake up honey. Diner is ready."
My mom kept knocking on my door but I didn't want to move out of bed.
"Go ahead mom. Am not hungry."
I sat on my bed watching the knob of the door. I knew she was still holding it.
"Hun, please come down."
"I'll when I want to. Now I want to be left alone please."
"Alright Hun. I'll be waiting for you."

I sighed when the knob of the door went to its original position. She was gone.
It was quarter past seven when I glanced at the clock on the wall.
I rested my head on the pillows. I didn't want my mom thinking I was angry with her. I was anyway but just the part that she said I didn't like my sister.
I know that sometimes I'm too mean with her. But that is because she is always telling mom every single move I make. I know its not intentional but she still spills.
I decided to go downstairs to join her.

She was already settled when I got to the kitchen.
I served myself with a portion of rice salad and cajun spiced chicken and sat opposite her.
She didn't look at me. Instead her eyes were fixed on her food.
I looked at her and she was shifting uncomfortably in her seat.
I wanted to apologise to her.
Just when I decided to break the silence she spoke.

"Honey I'm sorry..."
"No mom I'm sorry. I shouldn't have been rude earlier. I regret..."
"Hun, everything is my fault."
"No mom. Its okay."
"I'm sorry."
She took her plate and put it in the dishwasher.
"Have a goodnight Hun. I love you."
She kissed me and left the kitchen.
"Goodnight.."
I looked at her and she was already gone.

-------------
I was in bed waiting patiently for sleep to carry me away but I couldn't bring myself to doing it. I was restless.
I needed to do something to do put me to sleep.
I picked up my tab and logged my instagram account.
I noticed I had alot of people were following me. I had 697 likes from a picture I uploaded two days ago. Kerley had deliberately taken it when I was yawning in History class. It was very funny seeing myself in such a state in class but that day was just tiring and most of all boring.
I clicked on the people who were following me and noticed one An_der_son.
Was it who I was thinking it was?
U stared at the name for a while before I tabbed it.
My guess was right. It was Allen Anderson. I followed back.
My mouth dropped opened at what I saw.
How?
When did he get a picture of us together?
I noticed our clothes, it was today. He had taken it just when I was wearing one of my beautiful smiles. He had a smirk on his face which was one thing I have noticed he loves wearing on his face.
But how had he done that without me noticing?
985 likes??? He posted the picture just three hours ago.
