Skipped school

IVORY POV

I left the infirmary and went home straight. I don't have the strength to face those bullies. Mom wasn't home and I was happy about that because she would have asked me a million questions.

I went to my room, and dropped my backpack before running to the laundry to wash the suits and iron them. 

I carefully folded the last suit in the bag. For some strange reason, I bought it closer for me to scent, the smell of his cologne. I already knew it was Daniels's suit. I reluctantly placed it in the bag before walking to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

By the time I had set the table, I heard a loud knock on the table, it was mom. I hastily welcomed her in as she continued to lament how busy her day was.

I only stared at her listening to all her rants before I heard her say.

"Are you alright Ivory?" she asked in a worried tone.

"I'm fine," I immediately responded, I don't want her worrying herself to death over silly things.

"Your eyes says a different thing," she insisted.

"Mom, it's probably because of school stress, don't worry I will be fine," I quickly replied with a smile.

"You can take a day off from school, don't worry I will tell your principal," she said and I agreed.

What could have been better than "a day off from all those bullies,"  I thought to myself.

"Ok," I meekly replied to mom while I was internally rejoicing.

Immediately after dinner, I went to my room, and slumped on the bed before being taken to the land of fantasy.

          ~~~~~~

I woke up feeling refreshed, I went downstairs and to my surprise, mom had already left for work. 'Did I sleep too much?'

I saw a note on the table, and my mom left it. 'Eat, rest, and take care of your yourself.' I took a shower before grabbing sweatpants and a large hoodie. I ate my breakfast before I sprang on my bicycle riding it to the small restaurant I worked for.

As soon as I entered, I saw Mr. Clover with a surprised look on his face.

"I see you came," he said and I nodded before changing into the uniform. As soon as I was done, I went to the counter to see Trinity, Gav  and Luke waving at me.

"Hey buddy," Gav said, winking at me. He always knew how to make me laugh. I threw him a small punch before striding past him to Trinity.

"Skipped school today?" Trinity asked with a mischievous look in her eyes before giving me an air kiss.

"How are you doing Ivory," Luke greeted, his hand wrapped around Trinity's shoulder.

"I've been doing fine, "I replied before taking a seat.

"I have a lot to tell you Ivory," Gav yelled enthusiastically, and I already knew he had probably had lots of gist for me.

Guess what, I finally got a new boyfriend", he announced," his name is Finn," he added. Sounds weird right? Gav is gay.

 "That's really good news," I  replied enthusiastically.

"Ivory, he is smoky hot, I mean his smoky eyes and all, he is also a great kisser," he added with a wink and I felt like smacking him hard. He was so shameless.

"I see, have you dumped Tori?" I finally asked him.

"Yeah, I caught him cheating on me with some random guy," he replied.

"So tell me more about Finn," I probed further.

"We met at an exclusive club, and before I knew it, I was head over heels for him,"  he whispered.

"That reminds me, I want to show you something but you have to close your eyes," he said while flipping his blonde hair and staring at me with his blue eyes.

I closed my eyes, eager to know his surprise, minutes tick by and he didn't say anything.

"You can now open your eyes," he said after what seemed like hours.

"I finally got a tongue piercing," he announced, his tongue poking out of his mouth that I felt like choking him to death.

"What!" I parted my mouth in disbelief,he had been saying it these days but I had never thought he meant them.

"Don't you like it?" He asked and I stared at him, if only i knew how much I wished to beat him.  "Finn likes them," he confessed.

"Whatever!" I shrugged, I could see he was happy about the piercing so I didn't want to ruin it for him.

I looked past his shoulder to see Trinity and Luke already making out and Trinity moaning loudly that I felt like shutting her mouth.

"Holy moly these guys have no shame!" I felt like screaming at them but luckily mr... Clover came and they immediately detached from themselves as if nothing happened.

"Now go and attend to these tables,"  he ordered them and they immediately left.

"Give me a second ," Gav excused himself and I was left alone. Then, the door flung open and my jaws dropped. It was someone I wasn't expecting.

"What the hell is he doing here?"
