view moreThe party was still going on when Andrew made his way in through the doors that were already opened wild to welcome those who were yet to come.
Andrew tug the protesting figure known as Amelia Benson his little sister forward as they carefully avoided the drunken bodies that were sprawled on the floor. He notice Amelia cringing her face in disgust when she noticed many couples making out shamelessly, not caring to be seen by others."Drew i don't think i want to be here" she informed as her eyes roam around the place in horror at the sight before her.Andrew rolled his eyes at her statement. This is what normally happens at a teen party but his sister was way too isolated to notice."It' normal lia. It's just that you haven't been to one before"She didn't reply knowing he was right but he still notice the way her eyes look around clearly not liking what she was seeingHe tugged her through the mass of sweaty bodies dancing to the beat of the loud music blaring through the speaker and lead her to the counter."Wait here and don't drink anything until I get back. Okay?"She nodded fixing her glasses nervously. He could tell that she didn't want him to leave her alone but he had to.He left her to go look for his friend. It was quite a battle because he had to struggle his way through drunk and sweaty bodies dancing to the beat of the music.He finally found his friend Francis sited among the other popular students and he wave a hand to catch his attention.Francis saw him and also waved at him to come over. Although reluctant, he stroll over to them."Hey drew" he greeted loudly causing those at the table to look his way."Hi guys" he replied and sat at the space Francis cleared up for him.Many gave a polite reply but others rudely ignored him. Some even gave him curious look like they have never seen him before. which made him feel a little self conscious"Guys this is my buddy drew" Francis made the introductions and some of his friends look at him shocked."Isn't he the brother of that freak?" Kaitlin one of the girls asked. She has light blond hair that stops almost at her butt and she was very beautiful and extremely good at cheer leading which is why the seniors were planing to handing her the role as captain next year. Andrew won't deny that he has some sort of crush on her.Although he didn't like the way she referred to his sister, he kept his mouth shut so he won't upset anyone"My buddy here may be related to that freak but he's nothing like her" Francis assured as he flung an arm around Andrew's shoulder "isn't that right man?" He asked as if to confirm.Andrew kept silent not knowing what to say to this. If he agreed to what Francis said, that means he is agreeing to the fact that his sister is a freak but he couldn't disagree and humiliate Francis in front of his friends.Oh well, lia is going to understand' he assured himself and nodded "of course man, I'm nothing like my sister. We don't even get along" he lied hoping they won't find out that he brought her along with him."Why don't you prove it" one of the guys suggested not believing his words."Um... h- how?" He question nervously."Why don't you join us in bullying her" this time, it was Kaitlin who spoke up.Andrew eyes widen in shock "i-i don't think... I mean she's my sister I won't do that to her."But you said you two don't get along" she furrowed her eyebrows at him "unless that was a lie""No it wasn't but she...""Listen, it's either you agree or you can't be a part of us and if you're not with us then you're against us and that makes you our enemy" the boy who spoke up the first explained "so what's your decision?"Andrew looked at Francis who was giving him an encouraging look. He didn't want to look like a freak to them so he said the words that he never thought he would ever say and which he knew he would regret."Alright" he agreed trying to keep his voice strong. Well, it'll just be for a short time and he was going to apologise to her for every single pain.He just hope she would forgive himA FEW MONTHS LATER."Congratulations son" Patricia hugged her son, smiling happily "I'm so proud of you""thank you mum" they released the hug and Patricia studied her son with a warm smile."You're finally through with high school and you know, this is the beginning of a new chapter in your life, I hope you're going to do things right this time"He nodded without hesitation "yes mum, I promise that i'll never disappoint you again"She fixed his graduation hat properly "I know you won't""Andrew!" Quinn ran fowards but halted when she noticed Patricia "Oh hi Mrs Benson""Hello Quinn, congratulations on your finally becoming a high school graduate""Thank you Mrs Benson"Patricia nodded and smiled at her son "it seems like you need a little time with your girlfriend, I'll just go find your dad""bye mum""bye"She walked away and Quinn wasted no time in jumping into Andrew's arms. She squealed in delight and Andrew laughed, amused by her excitment."someone seem excited to be finally th
Andrew sat on the pack bench with his head lowered and his eyes red from crying. Quinn sat beside him not knowing how best to comfort him, she had talked to Kaitlin but the girl didn't even have a single bit of remorse for what she did."Things are going to change now, aren't they?" Andrew asked out of the blue.The answer to that is 'yes' but Quinn couldn't bring herself to say it, she has a feeling that things were going to change for the worst."I'm sorry Andrew, i'm sorry things had to end like this, it's all because of Kaitlin""no Quinn, it's not Kaitlin's fault. I'm not going to blame anyone for my mistakes, I knew this was going to happen anyway" he lifted his head and stared straight ahead into space "you know, I'm kind of happy that this happened. All this happy times I spent with Amelia seem so false, i'm glad she knows the truth now""but Andrew, she might never forgive you, you might never get your sister's forgiveness""I know she won't forgive me and I deserve it.
