7:03pm.
Blake's POVI brushed my hair in front of the mirror but I suddenly stopped halfway to think about my life. I've not talked to my mum since yesterday. She wouldn't even want to talk to me.

I shrugged off my nervousness and moved out for school. I met my mum at the dining just in front of me. I went dumb and try to mutter something.

She ignored me and took her car keys. I smirked and went over to the table. Blaire got worried but could not talk.

She suddenly turned back at me and lashed me.
"Please! Don't mum me a

His room was at the house's wall with his window located right at the front of the building. He gaze fell on me and I tried to look away by feigning to stare at the pictures hung on the wall."Have you been in a relationship before" he suddenly asked, sounding so serious than ever.I sensed the conversation was getting sensitive and more serious so I adjusted on the bed and sat on my knees in Muslim style. The dress I believe he got from his sister for me barely reached my knees so I had to maintain a good sitting posture not to misbehave."No" I simply answered and his serious face soften into a smirk."I've been in one before. My first and last. It was so sweet and sour" he said with a mixture of anonymous.

You're still a kid and things..." He tried coax me but I cut him off."Ohhhh! It's okay. There's no point in arguing. The woman we're talking about is dead already, dad.

She asked, wearing a slight frown to note the relevance of the question."My mum, Patricia the cook and I" I replied."Really?
