Chemically stringed (Dysfunctional hearts)

Chapter twenty two

I had a sleepless night trying to reach Kai because I badly needed to talk, because I was going crazy, and because I needed answers, but it never got through and I was almost tempted to sneak out to meet him because my mom wouldn't have fancied me rushing out of the house by 2 AM in the morning and if I had been caught she would have grounded me again forgetting all that talk about trusting me to do what I please and Kai wouldn't have liked it either if he wasn't even already sound asleep. Nevertheless, I resolve to waiting for a few more hours till school time when I can talk plenty because in as much as I'm in a hurry to spill my guts, phone call Isn't just it

There have been so many loose ends to Owens claim as my secret admirer ranging from how he's never fit into the category of a poet in the first place being the complete jock that he is plus he had to lie his way from his presentation mainly because he was given poetry....I never forget little details

Kai on the other hand is not only the mysterious master of art who has tactically been pouring his heart out to me but I always choose to consider as a joke, and on top of that, his mom even plants lavender flowers outside her kitchen....how very convenient

Audrey has always been so sure that he's my secret admirer but I ignored logic and chose Ignorance over Reason because I didn't see how Owen could have lied to me about such but my guess now is that he lied because he knew that I had or rather have strong feelings for my secret admirer that now happens to be Kai

I finally shut my eyes by Four Am in the morning only to receive a soft tap in what feels like twenty minutes later when its actually already over three hours from my mom that Its time for me to wake up. Honestly, I would have loved to sleep through the entire day but being that today is a very important day for me, I groggily get out of bed to get ready for school

knowing that Jade won't be coming to pick me up because we're still not on talking terms, I meet my dad for cab fare and as usual he offers to drop me off at school along with Isadora and I refuse yelling on my way out that they should get me a freaking car which no one replies to because they think I'm whining

Out of the house, I head for the street through the front lawn, and just about to cross over to the other side to board a cab, shiny dark blue sports car starts speeding towards my direction making my heart fly for fear that it's going to hit the hell out of me, only for it to stop a few inches away from me

seeing quite clearly that its Jade who's wearing a dark shade and chewing a gum because the car has no top, I bite my lips hard trying to with hold myself from throwing a nasty comment but I'm kind of surprised that she actually came to pick me up today despite our debacle and with her car that doesn't resemble Amber's, and that doesn't have Amber in it either

"How do you like my new ride?" She asks smilingly and from the tone of her voice I know she's excited?

"Your car?" It was more of a confirmation statement than a question

"Not my car, its my baby and she's your name sake but not the complete full name, Just Belle" She explains

"O...kay" Suddenly kind of feeling annoyed and jealous that she now has a car but I don't, and on top of that, she named it after me, I snap "Did you come to rub it in that you have a new car now? and to mock me with it by giving it my name?"

She frowns right away "Don't be stupid I just came to pick you up and I gave it belle because belle means beautiful duh its not because you bear the name. You should be happy for me instead of provoking me"

"Congrats" I manage drily "Happy?"

"Sure now can you get in? we're getting late for school" She urges
