Chapter three 

*Fast forward to a day before Ava’s last day at GHS*

Ava POV 

I’m simply waiting for the night to fall so my parent could come pick me; it has though, just waiting for them to arrive. Tomorrow is gonna be my last day here and I won’t be needed. Tomorrow is the graduation day, the day we all wore the graduation gown and bade high school bye; except for me. 

I stare at the empty space of my room with my bags packed and everything I owned here packed. If only I could just celebrate tomorrow, with a lot of people other than me, if I only get to stop being a shadow for once. 

My metal room door clicked open with my parent’s face popping in, I sit up from my bed acknowledging their presence. 

They came sitting beside me. “Honey are you ready to go home?” She asked, placing her soft palm on mine.

“Mom!” I called with my timid weak voice. I’m gonna ask her if I could just celebrate graduation day with my mates tomorrow. They should know I went to their school, I shouldn’t just be a ghost and left as a ghost. 

“What’s it princess?” Dad asked, taking his seat beside mom, there is this genuine care in both eyes. 

“I wanna ask you guys something?” I said to them with my gaze glued downward ‘the very first time I’d be saying more then three words to them. They exchange glances before urging me to go on. “Can I celebrate my graduation here and not go home please?” Tears rolled down gently down my eyes. Mom shifted closer to me, pulling me into a soothing hug. 

“Honey, is that what you want?” I nodded a response, she took my palm, rubbing it gently. “It’s dangerous.” I separated immediately I heard her say that. What’s dangerous about me celebrating my graduation and not go home today; this is ridiculous. I know this is not gonna be easy.

“Mom have never speak to nobody except you and dad, why?” My voice came out low. Why would my parent turn me into a sadist, why won’t they allow me live a good normal life. 

“Honey it’s for your own good.” My mom try consoling me, because the tears in my eyes kept streaming down like a river. 

“I promise I won’t still talk to anybody tomorrow, I just wanna feel and see the sun for the first time in my life.” I pleaded sounding so desperate. There is more to my life that this two are not telling me, why would they let me live a secret life when am a normal human being; and it’s not like I’m sick or something. 

“The sun, no Ava! No!! The sun is much more dangerous to you, and you talking to people is normal for you, it’s you who doesn’t talk to anyone.” My dad said with a concern look on his face. 

“You do realize I am right now in a lonely room with my door made of metal, you do know I feel like a prisoner here or maybe I’m a prisoner. Yes this is my school, I have no idea what the classes look like or the teachers; except mine. Mom I don’t think I can keep living like this, I have a lot of dreams and that won’t happen if I’m always stuck alone-“ My dad wanted to talk but I raise a finger signaling am not done yet. “If I’m always stuck alone all my life, I was homeschooled till ten, you enrolled me into this boarding school because I cried blood; and yet I’m still homeschooled in a boarding school.” My voice becoming broken the more I speak my mind with tears in my eyes. “Mom! Dad!!” I called, having more than their rapt attention paid to me. “I am not asking or begging, I want to celebrate my graduation here tomorrow.” I crossed my arms together, my expression becoming cold. Mom sighed deeply looking at her husband. 

“We heard you, but you need to promise us something.” They both stare keenly at me. 

“What’s it?” I asked, my eyes lightening up a bit with happiness. 

“That you won’t let the sun that shines tomorrow touch your skin, we’ll come pick you up by 7pm sharp tomorrow.” Dad said, squeezing my palm tight in his. 

“But why?” 

“That’s not-“

“Because you’re strongly allergic to it, it could kill you just by standing one minute in it, and we don’t wanna lose you.” My mom said, cutting my dad sentence off…. Yeah weird. 

“Sure thing mom.” I smiled at them, for the first time in my life I smiled. My life is changing, I say more then three words today, and then smile. I just cannot wait to see Trey and talk to him; if he’d still remember me because I remember him. 

“Bye sweetheart, you should go to sleep, it’s late already.” My dad checked his wristwatch standing up, he stretched his hand taking mom’s palm into it. 

“I wanna escort you guys, there is no sun in the sky and I should at least for once see what my school beauty has to offer.” I got off my bed, looking at them with a puppy eyes. 

“Okay then.” They answered, opening the metal door my parents walked outside, I made to step outside when two spears came crossing in front of me and blocking me from making a further move. “You guys are off duty forever, my daughter is gonna be spending her last few hours free.” My dad said to them, they lowered the spears walking away from us. 

So I was guarded this whole time and I never knew, when did they always resume to work, I thought a metal door was enough; yikes I’m indeed a prisoner. 

“You guys hired two guards to always guard me and I never knew.” I scoffed, folding my hands on my chest. 

“You were more than wild and adventurous back then when you’re little, I thought you’d someday find a way to break out and break your life rules.” My dad said, shrugging as if what they did is normal. 

“I was what when I was little, I don’t think I remember being that.” I saw my mom nudging dad; like to stop him from saying what he’s about to say; weird I say.

“Goodbye guys.” I waved at them as they both entered their Lexus jeep; I think they just bought this one, because the one we had was kinda old and not classy like this. 

We’re average rich in my family and very okay, I don’t allow them take me to school because I won’t get to see Trey; it because of him I always take the bus to school. 

Mom blowed me a light kiss as their car kicked off driving away from my sight, I smiled lightly at the visible stars before walking back inside the school. 

I was approaching back my room when I overhead this two students discussing, I got curious and decide to eavesdrop on them. I took a shade when the first girl spoke up. “Greg didn’t take me to the party, I wasn’t his plus one, and I thought I was his girlfriend.” She said almost in tears. 

“Should we just go and make him pay.” The other had reply, sounding so mean. “The party is for finalists only, we won’t be allowed in.” 

Finalists they said, that means Trey would be there, I have to go no matter what. I must see Trey and maybe confess my feelings to him, he need to know that have been crushing on him since I was ten when I first ever set my eyes on him.
