12th Dîsciplê Episode 24

Danica’s Pov:

They stopped laughing as soon as they noticed me.

“Danica!” Grandma called, her eyes showing a lot of excitement.

“You’re home already. Come on; come in”.

I fixed my eyes on Scott who was also staring at me, a smile on his face.

“Guess who we have here, Danica. Aren’t you surprised to see him?” Grandma asked as I walked in, levelly.

“Hi Danica” the bastard said.

“Good to see you”.

I glared at him, feeling so much anger. Why the heck is here again?

I looked around and discovered he’d been helping grandma fix the dining.

“Good evening,, granny”, I muttered, my voice coming out so low.

I hated his presence here.

“Good evening, princess. How was school today?” She replied, seeming so busy as she dressed the dining.

“It was fine” my reply came in another mutter.

“Well,,hurry up let’s eat. Scott brought home a lot of food – one thing I’ve missed about him” she laughed and Scott concurred with a chuckle.

I fixed my eyes on him so he could see how angry I was, but he didn’t seem to care.

Grandma suddenly paused and looked at me.

“Are you okay, Danica? You’re acting strange” she furrowed her brows and I managed to calm the anger in my eyes.

“I’m fine. I’m just….stressed out” I replied perfunctorily,,lowering my gaze to the floor.

She finished what she was doing and took her seat, same time with Scott.

“Come on, then. Let’s eat” she said and all I felt was irritation.

“I’m not hungry” I mumbled angrily and climbed up the stairs to my room.

Bitna

“Come on, bae. You really need to stop this. I can’t believe you’re crying over a b’tchy new student” Jeong said as I cried over the phone, while standing in front of the mirror in my bathroom.

“What do you expect me to do, Jeong?”, I whimpered.

“Second day in school, she passed a question I failed, third day in school, she luckily got paired with Prince Nathan. What do you think she’d do next, huh? She’s trying to humiliate me”.

“That’s not possible, Bitna and you know it. She’ll never be able to humiliate you, okay? Let’s just say she got lucky….”

“Lucky?” I scoffed.

“Are you kidding me, Jeong? She got so lucky twice, Just three days of being a student there?”

I shook my head and scoffed.

“No. I need to kick her out. Whatever it would take, I need to kick her out of that school”.

Immediately, I heard the door to my bedroom open.

“Bitna?” Someone called and I knew instantly it was mum.

“I need to go” I sniffed and ended the call.

I took out a piece of tissue and wiped my face with it.

“Bitna? Are you there?” Mum called again and I looked into the mirror to be sure I’d gotten rid of my tears already.

Then, I walked out of the room, returning to the bedroom to meet mum.

“Hi mum” my voice was a little croaky.

“Hey, darling. Were you busy?” She cooed as she walked close to me and held my hands.

‘I was just….using the toilet” I sniffed, trying to avoid eye contact with her.

“Bitna, are you okay? Your eyes….”

“I’m fine, mum. I’m just….so busy. Are you going out?” I quickly tried to change the topic.

Moreover, I noticed she looked dressed up.

“Yes, dear. I need to hurry to the office now for….”

“The office?”,I made a crumpled look.

“When would you be back?”

“I…I don’t know but, I’ll try my best to come home today, okay?”

I scoffed and moved away from her, going to sit on the bed.

“Bitna, come on! Besides, your dad will be home soon” she said, but I didn’t reply.

Her phone started ringing immediately and I rolled my eyes.

“I’ll call you later, okay?” She walked up to me and kissed my hair and just as she was about leaving, I spotted something on her neck.

Huh? It looked familiar.

“Yes,,Betty? I’m on my way already”, she said over the phone as she walked away.

Danica’s Pov:

Getting to my room, I threw my bag angrily on the floor and almost screamed.

Ahh!! That animal!! I hated him! I hated his presence so much!! What’s he doing here???

I placed my hands on my waist and paced tho and fro the room, thinking angrily.

Does he really think he could come back to our lives and act like nothing ever happened? Is that what he’s thinking? Then, he must be a bigger fool than I thought.

I paced angrily in the room and settled on the bed, running my hands into my hair.

Oh! How I wanted to hurt him – give him a million punches in the face and let him see how stupid he is.

I stayed in that position for a long time, trying to get over the anger, but it was damn so difficult.

I stood up and went to the wardrobe, bringing out something simple to wear so I could change from my uniform.

In a giffy, I was done and left the room, headed for the sitting room.

Climbing down the stairs, I found him on his feet with grandma and it appeared they were done eating.

I slackened my steps and glared at him, a bile feeling crawling up my throat.

“Okay,son. Take care of yourself, okay? See you some other time” grandma said to him and it dawned on me he was about leaving.

“Thank you, mum” he bowed in obeisance and it choked me.

“I’ll see you off”,I suddenly said and they turned to look at me.

That was actually the first time they were noticing me on the stairs.

“Oh”, grandma mouthed.

“That’d be great”.

The bastard had a smile on his lips as I climbed down the stairs into the sitting room.

I walked pass them, headed for the door and walked out of the house.

He followed immediately and we walked in silence until we were far away from the house.

“You look more beautiful on mofty, than you look in uniform”, he complimented and I snapped to look at him.

“What the hell do you think you’re doing,,Scott? What’re you doing here?” I asked angrily, my eyes blazing.

But all the monster did was chuckle.

“Relax, Danica. I don’t mean any harm”, he said.

“Seriously?? Didn’t I warn you to stay away? I thought I made myself clear? You really think you can come back here and act like nothing ever happened?” I questioned him.

“Come on, Danica. Let’s get pass that bridge. What do I have to do to make you see that I’ve changed?”

“Nothing, Scott. Absolutely nothing. No matter what, I’m only going to see the bastard that used and dumped me. I’m only going to see you as the monster you truly are. Your face disgusts me” I spat and tried walking away, but he held me back by the wrist, making to look him in the eyes.

“I don’t care what you say or do, Danica”, he muttered, his eyes so cold.

“But no matter what, I’ll never back out until you’re mine again. So, get ready”.

And with that, he let go of my wrist and walked away.
