Crossing Paths
Chapter 6
Juliet`s POV:
I ignored the text messages, that I got from both of my parents and just stayed in bed. Since my intercom cracked and I heard my mothers voice.
”Sweetheart, we are home. We grabbed some indian food”, she said. I stood up, only wearing sweat pants and an old shirt, my hair in a messy bun and walked down the stairs.
I heard them talk in the kitchen and after I took another breath I walked in.
“Hey”, my father said as he noticed me. I starred at him. Nothing more, just starring.
“You didn`t accept our calls, so we thought we skip dinner and eat here”, my Mum said. They had already sat down and my Dad asked: “Won`t you sit down, Julie?”
I cleared my throat: “Now, but I think it`s good, that you already did.” They looked up to me. I got straight to the point.
“We got a new student today. Liliane”, they continued their starring, clearly confused, “Liliane Catrall.”
…
My Mum`s mouth hang open and I could see my Dad`s face in real shock.
“Oh, honey”, my Mum started, but I turned my face away.
“I have to see her now every week”, I said and I could feel my voice shake again. My Dad didn`t look at me, all he did was starring at a point behind me.
“You said, she didn`t want to become a part of this family, but now she is arround me!”, I said angry.
“Julie...”, my Dad.
“Forget about it!”, I shouted and ran up to my room, popping the door behind me. I grabbed my bag and threw a few things in it, already knowing, where I wanted to go.
My Mum knocked on my door, saying that we should talk about it, but I wasn`t in the mood to chat. I waited, until she left and I was sure to hear her foot steps back down the stairs.
Quietly I opened my door and sneaked down as well. My parents where talking in the kitchen.
“Why did she changed schools?”
“I don`t know, her mother told me to stay away from her.”
“Simon, does she know about Juliet? Probably she knows...”
“She should know my last name...” I crept through the hallway, walked into the garage and jumped in my car. I drove off and left them and their talking behind.
(NEXT MORNING)
“My Mum called yours”, Zayn said on our way to school the next morning.
I sighed: “I thought so, but I hoped they suffered anyways.” Zayn already had transferred his sofa in a bed, when I stood in their door last night. We hadn`t talked about the whole thing and I was really thankful for that.
But of course his Mum called mine since they are so good friends. My mobile phone was beeping the whole time, while I got one call after another from my parents.
“Are you ready to see her?”, Zayn asked as I got out of the car. I shook my head.
“That is so weird...she doesn`t even look like me!”, I whined while thinking of her tall and thin body and her pretty face.
“Maybe a little...”
“You are not helping!”, I said and punched his shoulder. We went inside, already late and the nearer we came to the classroom, the more nervous I got.
Zayn had to push me inside and she was already there. The whole class was already there, including the teacher.
“Mister Malik, nice to see you. I am not surprised to see you coming late, but Miss Wyler? I hope you are not taking Mister Malik as a new role model”, he said.
Probably it was my reaction in combination with my last name, that she realized it as well. I had looked over to her as the teacher said my last name and I saw her face shutting down.
Wyler, the famous lawyer, not a name you hear everyday.
“Can you excuse me?”, I asked the teacher, but I didn`t waited for an answer, I just turned and left the room. I heard the door open again.
“Wyler?”, I heard her voice behind me. I stopped and turned. She looked angry and confused, her hands on her hips.
“You knew, right? That`s why you left early yesterday and the staring in class...you knew.”
I felt insecure, didn`t know what to do. I choose to protect myself.
“I am sorry he left you, but that doesn`t mean you are invited to come into my life! I am not sharing and I won`t let you be around him!”, I bitched.
She looked at me and I saw her fighting her face reactions. I hurted her badly.
“Who said I want to be around you or him?”, she spat.
“Fine, then things are clear between us!”, I yelled at her and ran out of the school building.
I ignored the text messages, that I got from both of my parents and just stayed in bed. Since my intercom cracked and I heard my mothers voice.
