Chapter 8 As I hand my exam paper to the teacher, I feel extremely satisfied. It was my last paper of the final exam today. Calculus. I had worked very hard so I do hope that I have performed well. As I walking back to my car someone wraps an arm around me. It's Jenna. We grin at each other.
"Finally done with highschool " she says, relieved. "I know right. I can hardly believe that we're soon-to-be college kids now". Jenna has been one of my best friends since first families are close as parents had helped us a lot when my mom had passed away.
Last few weeks have been very hectic. I've had to study like crazy. I've managed to ignore the fact that I'm being watched continuously by my dad's men. We speak everyday. Sometimes dad calls me twice a day. During the exams mom and dad both called me early in the morning to wish me luck. It was very sweet of them. But things got real awkward when they passed the phone to Phoebe. It was pretty clear that she didn't want to talk to me. I wasn't exactly dying to talk to her. But it was really easy and fun to speak with Ted. I wonder if Phoebe will hate me forever.
"Let's party." Jenna exclaims. She's a party animal. "Sure. Count me in." I say as we get into my car. Jenna was thrilled when she came to know that Christian Grey was my biological father. "Holy shit ! The Christian Grey is your dad? He's like, one of the richest men on the planet !
And one of the most handsome men too. Hey do you have a brother? Can you introduce me to him?" I had just glared at her. All in all,
she was very happy for me. She thought that it was like a fairy tale come true. She was very imaginative like that.
As I drop her off, she reminds me that the dress code is "slutty".Right. I roll my eyes at her and drive off. I park my car and am walking back towards my house. My headphones are a mess so I'm trying to untangle them. I look up and see someone sitting on the stairs that lead up to my house. I gasp as I'm shocked to see him here. "Ana" he says as he pulls me into a bear hug. I return it awkwardly. I wasn't prepared for this.
"How was your exam?" he asks as he pulls away and holds me at arms length. "It was good. I wasn't expecting you here.". As soon as I say this I regret it as is smile vanishes. " I mean I'm thrilled that you're. I just wasn't expecting you. We spoke in the morning and you didn't say anything about stopping by." I add quickly. He looks relieved as he says "I wanted to surprise you." I don't know what to say to that. I mean I am thrilled to see him. But him being here only means one thing. He's here to take me back to his place. But I wanted to spend some quality time with my dad. Adrian Chase I mean. We haven't spent a lot of time together because of my finals. I was hoping to change that. Plus I'll have to miss Jenna's party as well. Not that it matters much.
"Let's get you home.". My adoptive dad's car comes into view just as my dad says this. Damn I can feel it. This is going to turn into a huge fight.
