Joshua's pov:
I started walking at the way to my home. It took me 20 minutes to reach home. As I entered I remember to apologize to my mum so I started searching for her."Mom!" I shouted from the living room while putting my bag on the couch."Yes I'm here." She replied back from the kitchen. I started walking towards the kitchen. As I entered the kitchen the sweet aroma of lasagna hit my nose. I sat on the kitchen counter and open the lid of the bowl. I started sniffing like a dog."Wow you are cooking my favourite dish." I said feeling suddenly happy."Yes I cooked it specially for my sweet little boy." she smiled at me."Mom I'm not little anymore, how many times I've to tell you." I said while taking a spoon to taste the tasty dish. Lasagna."You will always be my little baby." She said and slapped my hands away from the bowl."Oww! Geez woman." I stated shocked."Wash your hands first and second don't talk to me in that tone boy." she said while fake glaring at me. We both burst out laughing. I started washing my hands in the kitchen sink."I'm sorry for my today's morning rude behaviour." I apologized."It's OK. Btw how was your first day at school?" she asked from behind me. I turned towards her and saw her whole focus was on me."It was fine." I said shrugging nonchalantly."Just fine? Nothing interesting happened?Didn't you made any friends?" she asked amusingly."It was my first day mom nothing more." I said the obvious."Ahhh I see." she said."But today I met with a hilarious girl." I told her about that girl. Grace."And how that hilarious girl made your day special?" she asked mischievously."Don't even start on that. She herself is a whole package of problems." I stated."Why? What did she do?" she asked curiously."She didn't do anything to me. But according to the whole class she is a lady don of our school." I told her annoyingly remembering the whole day's incidents."So what get you so annoyed with her?" she asked chuckling."She gave me unnecessary attitude the whole day like I've snatched her property." I spat.My mom burst out laughing. Wiping her fake tears she said "Don't go so hard on each other." After that she left the kitchen.Like I've provoked that demon without horns.Grace the little demon.I internally laughed on my own thoughts. I took the plate and after serving myself sat on the kitchen stool. Taking the first bite of my favourite dish I feel like heaven."mhmm." I moaned at the taste of it."Mom it's so good, thank you." I shouted from the kitchen.No matter if she heard or not.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Time skip:It's evening now and I think I should do my homework for tomorrow.Why do we have to do homeworks?Why don't teachers get homeworks?Why do I always overthink? Shouldn't I do my homework now? Whom I'm questioning?Myself. Silly!I took out my books and notebooks from my bag and sat on my study table. Gazing out the window of my room. Streets are quite busy in the evening. Children comes out of their houses to play and rush on the roads. And here I'm sitting alone in my room doing my homework. Why I don't have any friends to hangout?I got no friends!Yeah right. In previous school I got so much bully so I never even wanted to talk to someone in my class. I was scared of them. Why I was not strong to protect myself from them? I just get comfortable with only few peoples whom I trust. Is that wrong? Is it important to socialize with people even of you don't like to? So you will never get alone and bully?I stopped the train of my thoughts and started doing my homework it tooka glance at the clock. It took me 3 hours to complete it and now it's 8 in the night. Phew! I stretched my arms and legs and put my stuff in the bag. And my stomach growled.I'm hungry!I opened my room door and after stepping out closed it behind me. I descended down the stairs and straightly went towards the kitchen. I was about to enter the kitchen but the front door opened and my dad entered in. He saw me and smiled."Oh Joshua how was your first day at school?" he asked approaching me."It was fine dad." I said and started walking into the kitchen with him."So what's in the dinner today?" he asked wiggling his eyebrows at me."I still don't know let's find out together." I said and fist bump him."What's in the dinner mom?" I asked my mum as we entered into the kitchen."Okay? So both the hungry babies came?" she said smiling."I'm not a baby anymore mom!" I again remind her."You are still my baby." she said her favourite line."But I'm not a baby honey." my dad also said being offended."Says who, get annoyed at little things when he is hungry." she smirked."Okay I lost." my dad surrendered."But I will still fight for my rights." I said like a soldier and salute my mom."And you will always loose against me." she said and they both started laughing.They are the best parents in this whole world.I love them so much.Like they are out of the world.I hope everyone get these kind of parents."Okay now stop laughing you both I'm hungry." I said being annoyed."Okay now sit and have your dinner. I have made cheese rolls and bacon." she said.My dad went to wash his hands in the kitchen sink and soon joined us. We chit chat about our whole day and enjoy our dinner laughing and bickering. After it I went to my room for sleep.I hope my rest of the school days goes well without any drama.Joshua's pov:(The next day) Today I woke up early in the morning so I won't get late for the school like yesterday. As it spent well except for the interaction with that girl. Lady Don. But anyways. I had breakfast with my mum and dad today and like the yesterday night dinner we were just bickering on random topics. I love spending my time with them. Now I'm on the way to my school and as yesterday in not late so I'm taking my time to enjoy the mother nature. On my way I saw a beautiful plant of red roses. Was it here yesterday also? How would you know you were busy in your marathon to your school. My sarcasm! Ughh!I saw a little boy around the age of 5-6 years trying to reach the red rose. He is jumping and jumping to catch that rose but poor little thing can't reach there. So I approached him. "Hey little boy what are you doing?" I said walking to him. He turn around to face me."I juss wan' this flower." he said frowning in his little voice I almost cooed at him. "But you c
Joshua's pov:RrrrriiinnnggggggggFinally the school is over. But thanks to Ms. Grace Anderson I can't go home. Detention! The students started packing their bags and moving out of the class. I saw her sitting beside me busy in sleeping. Wow such a hard work she got to do! I glare at her head. She is a bad luck for me. After all the students got out of the class I saw only few students are left in school premises, and they were also leaving. Great! Mrs. Smith entered the class with her cold looks. I'm in the bad books of her. Thanks to this girl sleeping beside me. She stare at us and sat on her chair. "Take out your English text book and write the summary of chapter 4 in your own words." She said scowling at grace who is still sleeping. I nudged her in her shoulder. She raise her head and glared at me."What?" she snapped. "Can't you see Mrs. Smith is here." I retorted back. "So what?" she said with a nonchalant expression.Is she crazy? Can't she be a little respectful to
Joshua's pov:After the long day finally I reached home. I sighed and entered inside the house. I directly went to the kitchen and saw my mum reading something while sitting on the dinning table. "Hey mom." I greeted her. "Hey my baby boy." she beamed at me. "Mommmmm I'm not a baby." I whined. "You'll always be my baby boy". She teased me like always. "Okay fine, I'm hungry please give me something to eat." I said peeking at what she's reading. She was as always reading her home decor magazine marking what she want to buy for the home decoration. She likes to moderate the house and made aesthetic changes in them. She got up from the chair and started serving the food. I went to the sink and washed my hands. Basic manners. She put the plate on the table and sat where she was sat before. I started digging in my food hungrily. "Slowly Joshua Williams." my mum instructed."Hmmm." I hummed and started eating slowly. After finishing the food I put my dish in the sink and went to my
Joshua's pov:I shifted my gaze in front on the black board but I can feel both of their gaze drilling holes in the side of my head. Am I scared of them? Do I regret it what I did just now? Obviously, no! Mrs. Smith started checking the papers submitted by me. After reading the whole summary she gave a single nod to me and then Grace. Then she started teaching from where we left in the previous class. I saw with my side eye Grace again get back to sleep while Candice is busy with her phone, texting someone. RrrrrriiinngggggAfter few periods more of different subjects the bell rang and interval started. Students started rushing out of the classroom as always. I also skipped to the canteen putting my hands in my pockets. There was again a huge crowd for getting food but I don't wanna suffocate and die inside of it. So I stood in the side waited for the crowd to decrease. Stacey and others also came. Yes from the day one I'm sitting with them for the lunch."Hey Joshua why are yo
Joshua's pov:I entered the classroom and saw Stacey giving me a small smile I smiled back. Then I saw Grace already staring at me. She glanced at my changed shirt, then me and smirked. I avoided eye contact with her and went to my bench and sat on it. It's our chemistry period and Mr. White came and started teaching us. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Time skip:Finally, after all the periods ended the bell rang and it's time to go home yay! The students rushed out of the door hastily. I also packed my stuff and slung my bag on my shoulder. I was walking out of the class Mr. Snow our physics teacher who took our last period asked me to help him. "Mr. Williams can you help me in putting these charts in my office?" he asked. "Yes, of course sir." I said and took half number of the charts from his hands. He nodded and started walking ahead of me and I started following him. After turning few hallways we reached his office he unlocked the door and entered inside inv
Grace pov:I was alone for ever in my life. Yes, I have parents very rich and well reputated parents. In public and media they show how much of ideal parents they are only I know, I know the truth behind their big ass smile on their faces. How they show that they do care for me, love me and adore me. But in home they are monsters. That is not even a home it's a house where so many humans live under a single roof. In that house there is Mr. Danielle Anderson and his wife Mrs. Julia Anderson and me a mistake, their so called daughter who is a burden on them and good for nothing. I'm nothing to them and they are nothing to me. But infront of media they show how much they love me. And in reality, they didn't even know in which school I study what I like and dislike. They only knew how to make good reputation in front of the world. Expensive parties, expensive jewelry, expensive furniture, owning many of lands and properties, tours and vacations in different countries, meetings, business
Grace's pov:As the other subjects period came and went by I kept sleeping. And when the time came interval bell rang I'm in no mood to go out without Candice. And no one dares to talk to me with my rude and agressive behaviour. Good for them! Suddenly I felt someone shaking me. "Hey wake up." He said. Oh so Joshua Williams decided to disturb me again. I ignored him. He again shook my shoulders. "Hey listen you girl wake up." I got a name idiot. Oh God stop disturbing me you punk! I got up. "What do you want?" I asked coldly while rubbing my eyes. "It's interval don't you want to eat anything?" he asked.So he is concerned for me. How cute! Like I will believe him. "It's none of your business" I again spat rudely. "Are you sure? You must be tired of sleeping" he sarcastically asked. Don't sarcasm me you bastard."Did I stutter? and don't be sarcastic with me." I said and stood up from the bench and walked away.Better to walk around, if want to avoid his nonsense. As I wa
Grace's pov:I was sleeping when the bell rang and finally the time of detention came. But it's not the first time so I don't care and kept sleeping. That annoying teacher Mrs. S-- ugh whatever came and said "Take out your English text book and write the summary of chapter 4 in your own words."Joshua nudged me in shoulder. I raise my head and glare at him."What?" I snapped. "Can't you see Mrs. Smith is here." he retorted back. "So what?" I said with a nonchalant expression. Do I care? "Ms. Grace Anderson I'm done with your tardiness and inappropriate behaviour I want to talk to your parents." the annoying teacher yelled from where she is sitting. What will she talk to my parents? They don't even care. How dare she mention that bastards. "They can't come." I replied shortly keeping my calm.But not for a long time. "Why not? Are they ashamed of their daughter's deeds and behaviour?" She asked tauntingly. They are ashamed of me you old hag.I stared at her not in the mood of
