Chapter 230
- HAZEL -
I let out an exhale, resting on the car window. These past few days have given me some time to think. Not about anything serious, just more about the right thing to do and my well being.
“When will we get there?” I ask my driver, my eyes still on the road through the tinted window. Since I currently live at home, one of the perks I have is using an Uber less. I have my own chauffeur.
“Soon, Miss Summers. We’re not too far away.” He responds. I sigh. It’s feels like I’ve been sat for hours. I’ve had nothing in my belly since morning, it is still morning by the way, and I’m beginning to have a headache. Kate wanted us girls to meet at her family’s beach house to have some us time before we resume our stressful college lives, no matter how far away the actual resumption date for me and her is. This is the first time all of us will be at a place together and in the same city. While the other ladies have college as well with active ongoing lectures, they surely found ways to make this gathering along with the others to come, work. I for one know if this case was reversed, I wouldn’t be able to, but good thing the universe had other plans for me to enable me not to miss out on all the activities that’ll tag my life as the closest thing to normal over the past few weeks.
This makes a smile form on my face. If I wasn’t so hungry, maybe I would’ve forgotten half my worries but I’ll be fine. A small giggle leaves my lips.
I find it really relaxing but I’m also bothered. It’ll last for a few days and we still have access to everyone else we know but staying that long with the girls while having a pretend boyfriend they’d want to know all about is unnerving. A pretend boyfriend Kate already knows, how well she knows him? I don’t know.
I don’t want to be caught in a lie that she’ll sniff a mile away talk less of just a few feet away from me. I let out a sigh. This may end up being harder than I anticipated. But I won’t let my worry spoil something good that’s yet to come. I’ll think about this along with a solution much later, but now? I’ll live in the present.
With a groan, my eyes come shut and I rest my head backwards. There better be ready made food where I’m headed or I swear, I’ll eat a human being. What’s the difference between human meat and chicken in the face of hunger, anyway?
I burst out laughing. I’ve never been so disgusted by my own thoughts as I am right now and it is funny.
“Hey, look, the bitch is here!” I hear a distant yell in my head.
“Let’s gang up on her for keeping us waiting.”
