After the whole slide incident we did actually go and get me a new zebra. I just wanted one that looked like the one that I had before. They all looked to different. It took me a long time, and much of Heather's reassurance that the zebra would mean the same before I actually picked one out. Heather paid for the zebra and we left, ready to go home and just chill.
When we walked out of the store we were surround by burly men with cameras taking out picture. They were shouting questions at us, coming closer to us. The lights were to bright, and made me feel dizzy. I leaned into Heathers side, wanting her to make them go away. Sensing my distress she bend down and picked me up, resting me on her hip. Even though I hate when she holds me like this in public I was scared so I didn't care.
"Can you guys back up?" Heather asked, running her hand up and down my back.
They took a few steps back, but the questions kept coming. Who is she? Heather do you have a kid? Is she your sister? Are you and Naya dating? What's happening on Glee?
"Guys!" Naya yelled at them. "Please just stop with the questions, your scaring her." I assume she was referring to me.
"Make them stop Hemo." I mumbled into her next.
"You're okay baby, we're almost to the car. You're fine."
When we did get to the car I sat in the back while Heather drove us home. I climbed out of the car and went to my room. I rested my new zebra on my bed. I didn't have a name for the stuffed animal yet, but I'm sure I would think of one soon enough.
"Kenzie you okay?" Heather asked, stepping into my room.
"Yeah I'm okay. Where's Naya?"
"She left, she had some stuff to take care of." I nodded my head, "Are you sure you're okay? You seemed pretty scared with the whole incident with the cameras."
"Well I just wasn't expecting it. You know, it kind of scared me. I was with you so I knew I'd be okay."
"Your such a dork." She teased, bringing me into a hug.
"But you love me for my dork like qualities."
"I love you no matter what babe." She kissed my head. "I'm going to start dinner before your father comes home, he's probably going to be tired, long day you know?"
"Oh I know how long his days can get." I mumbled sarcasticly. "What's for dinner?"
"Tacos?" She suggested.
"Yes!" I fist pumped the air.
"Your such a dork."
It's been a week since the whole slide incident and I'm finally starting up school. Ew, I know. My dad did all the paper work, and I'm attending South Pacific High School. How lucky am I, starting my freshman year of high school. I'll be the new kid since school started two months ago. No one likes the new kid. To make things worse, my dad isn't even dropping me off at the school, he has to go to work early.
That just makes me so mad. He's my father, he's supposed to love me and do things like send me off to school. He always relies on Heather to do things. What's going to happen when I'm old enough to drive? Is she going to teach me how to drive? Or when I go off to college is he not going to come? What about when I walk down the isle is Heather going to be standing next to me because he was to work? Its like work is always a first for him.
I felt someone shake me awake, "Come on Kenzie time to start school." It was Heather. Isn't that a surprise, he couldn't even wake me up before he left.
I groaned and rolled over, "Just five more minutes."
"You said that five minutes ago, now its time to get up."
I sighed before I forced myself to get out of the bed. It was so much harder to get out of bed then it was to get into it. I stood up and Heather left the room to allow me to get dressed. I wore simple skinny jeans and a glee t-shirt with air jordans. It was a simple outfit that was me.
When I walked down stairs I took a seat at the table and my blonde put a bowl of ceral in front of me. Lucky Charms of course, the best ceral in the world. "Where's my dad?"
"He left to go to work already." She said sadly.
I nodded my head and ate in silence. I don't know why I get my hopes up anymore.
"You know he wanted to be here." Heather offered up.
"He if really wanted to be here then he would be here. He loves work more." I stood up and put my dish in the dishwasher. Heather and I left to my school shortly after. When we got the school it was so huge I'm pretty sure I'd get lost in it.
"Best four years of your life start right now." Heather said with a smile.
"And look whos not here to see me start it." I mumbled out, Heather catching my words.
"You know he wants to be here baby." She ran her hand through my hair.
"He's just like my mother." I said before getting out of her car and making my way into the school.
Being a freshman pretty much sucks. I got lost three times before fifth period. What a loser. Not only that during lunch, some senior cheerleader bumped into me causing my lunch to go all over me. So much for the best four years of my life starting now.
After school, I was looking for my dad's car since he promised we go out for an early dinner. I couldn't find it though, I sighed, he probably forgot. I sat down on the stairs and waited for him to come. After ten minutes the buses left and teachers went back into the building, just leaving me alone outside. It was getting windy, and I was still sticky from my lunch and I just wanted to go home so I called Heather.
"Hello?"
"Heather can you come get me?"
"Where are you?" she asked curiously, "Aren't you supposed to be off with your father for your special dinner?"
"He's not here, can you please just come get me?" My voice started to get emotional. "He forgot me." I whimpered out.
"Baby I can't come get you I'm working. I can see if Dianna or Lea can get you though." She offered up.
"What about Naya?"
"I'm doing the scene with her babe, D and Lea are nice. They'll come get you. It'll be about ten minutes though okay?"
"Yeah, sure." I said half heartedly.
"Hey," She cooed, "I love you, and your dad loves you okay? Dianna will bring you back here and then we can talk it out okay? Then when your dad comes home you can tell him how you feel."
"Whatever, I love you Hemo."
"I love you to baby, but I half to go so just be safe."
When she hung up I brought my knees to my chest and rested my head on top of them. Today really couldn't get any worse. Of course by me saying that, it started to rain. Just fan freaking tastic. It was pouring and I just started to cry frustrated tears. I hate this, I hate everything about today.
When Heathers two costars came to the school I was soaked, and shivering. They looked at me with sad smiles and I just shrugged my shoulders.
"You okay sweetie?" Lea asked me.
"I guess. Can we just see Heather?"
"Yeah sure sweetheart." Dianna said.
I just want today to be over.
Hey guys, so I know I haven't updated this story in a while. Or any other story in awhile. My computer is just acting all weird and stuff. So I'll try to get updated faster and such.
So I'm feeling that for the next chapter in this something is going to happen to Kenzie's father. Also Kenzie and Heather are going to talk some things out and it'll get heated and angsty.
Reviews are great :)
