Chapter 5
I got home some hours later, I saw mom talking to Mrs. Rita; Candy’s mom at the living room.
I ask after her daughter my friend and she tells me if I didn’t see her at school today; Mom ask me the same question, although Candy did not tell me anything, but the good thing about being best friends, is you'd always have to make up stories for them.
Candy did not attend school today and I ended up telling both lies to her mom and my mom.
She fucking owes me an explanation when she sees me in school tomorrow… I left Mom and Mrs. Rita talking, mom already had my lunch served at the table, when I walk into the kitchen; at the table, there was a white plate of food covered in a bowl for me.I open the plate; I noticed mom prepared spaghetti and meatballs. I carried the plate and again walk past her talking to Mrs. Cecilia.
I hear her complaining about the man she is dating; Surprise, I did not even know, and my best friend didn’t even bother to tell me.
Mom came to look forme after a while; she held a purse in her hand, she tells she has to run to the store and get something we would need.
I allowed her to go, mom even promises to get my all-time favorite Ice cream at the store too.
I walked her to her car parked at the garage; she got inside and closes the door, she waved at me from inside and drove off to the store; one strange thing I found about her was that she was dressed like, she had a date or something.
Why didn't I ask her when I got the chance?
I got into the apartment, heading straight to my bedroom; after a while, I hear the door bell ring, at the bed I thought if I can ignore the person hitting the door, he or she might go away; but they continue to interrupt my sleep by constantly banging on it.
"Who is it? I inquired before opening the door.
"It's me Sabrina!" Outside; I took a clear heed of Candy's voice, I open the door and she rushes in like there was someone coming after her.
"Sabrina, I need your help," She went straight to my couch and sat on it, she folds her hands in between her thighs.
"Hey, what exactly have you done?" I walk to the couch, I met her eyes melting slowly as if she is about to cry.
"Sabrina, I did something stupid," she fall off the couch and fell her knees.
"What happened?”
I carried her up from kneeling before me, Candy's eyes move past mine, and she tell me about the meeting she encountered on her way to school..
The way Candy decipher everything to me, I thought the man she met is someone close to a Mafia drug Lord, but it ended up being her ex-boyfriend, whom she decides to bunk school for and not only that, they both had sex.
So, what's the issue all about?
Candy was scared and confused about what to do next; she thought her mom would be disappointed if they find out.
I told her not to, I believe if either my Mom and Mrs. Rita find out about that I lied to them about Candy being in school while she was absent, I'm definitely certain Mom will give me the silent treatment or worse, she might even want to send me off to a boarding school. A boarding highschool.
