That's What She Thinks...
Chapter 43.
I touched my cheek which felt swollen. I looked at him with horror the look on his face was speechless no one spoke for 3 minutes not even the boy who smacked me.
“That’s it I’m off back to Texas, I don’t care what you say I’m fed up of you” I said running off. I walked down to the principal’s office.
“Nadine, what would you like?” he asked looking at me with worried eyes, “What happened to your cheek?”
“It doesn’t matter, I want to leave boarding school” I demanded, he looked at me.
“Are you sure?” he asked looking at me sitting down.
“I’m sure” I said letting out a smile even smiling hurt.
“Alright, I’ll go on the database and take you off” he said smiling, “We’ll get you a flight right away”
“Thanks” I said smiling, “I’ve enjoyed it here, I really have I just feel like it’s my time to go home, my priority is protecting my little sister, you do understand that right?”
“I do Nadine” he said, “Bye Nadine”
“Bye sir” I said, I walked back to the dorm where I saw the girls looking at me I grabbed my suitcase and packed my stuff.
“Nadine where are you going?” Amy asked kneeling down next to me.
“Texas” I said. I heard all girls gasp with surprise. I smiled and carried on packing my things. Once I finished I went to the reception where I saw a man waiting.
“Your Nadine right?” the man said, “I’m Michaels dad, please don’t leave he needs you”
“It’s a little late, sir. I’ve already left” I said looking at the bald man, “He’s angry at you he wants you to get back together with your wife”
“I know that but I have other priorities right now” he said, I looked at him and scanned his facial expressions, “Look stay, he didn’t mean to slap you”
“How do you know?” I asked with confusion.
“He came to see me, he told me. Look he wanted to tell you before you... left” the man said, “Think about it, please”
“I’m going home, Texas” I said. I could see the man wasn’t going to give in.
“Nadine, your cab awaits” the reception women said smiling sweetly at me.
“Thanks, look after Michael” I said handing him something, it was something I bought for him in Texas but I didn’t want to give it to him.
I ran to my cab where the man smiled at me, I put my case in the boots as I got in I saw Michael run out.
“Want me to stop?” the man said looking at me. I thought about it should I or not?
“Just carry on going” I said, maybe it’s for the best. I looked back to see him crying maybe I should just get out and hug him and give him one quick kiss letting him know everything is okay. No, I need to stop been such a little pushover, my life with him was now gone.
