-Chapter 6-
"So, you're not a part of it? Remember what I said, you cannot prove anything to your brother if you don't have me." Quinn said in disbelief.
"I don't have to prove anything to him! I can just tell him the truth of who you are." I said back.
"He's not going to believe you but suit yourself." Quinn said as she walked out of the house.
I made a mistake.
If I didn't follow Hailey's plan, then none of this would have happened! Even though I would have no friends, at least I would be friends with my brother.
I turned the T.V off as laid down in the sofa. I got a pillow and threw at a glass picture frame. Good thing it didn't break or else I would be dead even though I wouldn't care if I was.
5 minutes later, I fell asleep.
***
The door creaked open. I woke up due to the sound of it. I got up slowly and saw Oliver at the door. Usually he would say hi, but this time he just looked at me and looked away.
Soon after that, my mom walked in the house too.
"OH, YOU'RE IN BIG TROUBLE, VICTORIA!" My mom yelled at me.
"Mom, I'm sorry, okay? I just wanted to fit in."
"FIT IN? DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT FIT IN IT?!" My mom yelled as she took of her slipper and threw it at me.
I tried dodging it, but it fell on my head.
"OW, WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?!" I yelled.
"WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME? HAH, YOU'RE A JOKSTER. HOW DO YOU THINK YOU CAN SNEAK YOUR PHONE AND WEAR A CROPPED TOP TO SCHOOL JUST TO FIT IN! NOW THE TEACHERS ARE GOING TO THINK I'M LIKE ALL OF THOSE OTHER PARENTS THAT ALLOW THEIR KIDS TO WEAR THOSE DISGUSTING THINGS!"
"MOM, IT WAS AN ACCIDENT!"
"EVERYTHING IS AN ACCIDENT, EH? EVEN YOUR GRADES TOO! THE ONLY ACCIDENT HERE IS YOU!"
I felt tears come from my eyes. Did my mom call me an... accident?
"I WISH I NEVER HAD TWINS! IF I COULD PICK BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR BROTHER IT WOULD BE YOUR BROTHER! AT LEAST HE DOESN'T CHANGE TO FIT IN WITH THE WORLD AND HE ACTUALLY GETS GOOD GRADES! WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GET OLDER? A MC DONALD WORKER? BECAUSE IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE YOUR GRADES ARE GOING TO GET YOU TO COLLEGE MUCH LIKELY 12TH GRADE! OH, MY GOODNESS, YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH OF AN EMBARRASSMENT YOU ARE TO ME AND YOUR ANCESTORS!"
"ACTUALLY, DUE TO THE WAY THAT YOU TREAT ME COMPARED TO OLIVER ACTUALLY MAKES ME KNOW THAT I'M AN EMBARRASSMENT! OLIVER ALSO CALLED ME AN EMBARRASSMENT TODAY SO I'M PRETTY SURE I ALREADY KNOW!"
"OLIVER CALLED YOU AN EMBARRASSMENT?"
"YEAH!"
"GOOD, HE WAS NOT LYING. YOU KNOW WHAT, YOU AREN'T GETTING YOUR PHONE BACK UNTIL YOU PASS EVERY CLASS AND DECIDE TO BE A DOCTOR! IF YOU WANT TO NOT BE AN EMBARRASSMENT THEN FOLLOW EVERYTHING THAT I WANT YOU TO DO!"
"MOM, I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT BEING A DOCTOR, BUT I KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT BEING A PIANIST! IT ISN'T ABOUT WHAT SOMEBODY WANTS YOU TO BE, IT'S ABOUT WHAT ACTUALLY INTRESTS YOU AND WHAT YOU CAN DO BEST! I WOULD RATHER HAVE A FUN JOB THAT PAYS YOU AN AVERGE AMOUNT THAN A BORING JOB THAT PAYS YOU A MILLION DOLLARS!"
"SO, YOU'RE TELLING ME YOU WANT TO BE POOR?! OH, MY GOODNESS, THIS AIN'T MY DAUGHTER! BE A DOCTOR!"
"YOU CAN'T BE TELLING ME TO BE A DOCTOR WHEN YOU SERIOUSLY DROPPED OUT FROM BEING A DOCTOR!"
My mom looked at me shocked.
I think I went too far.
"Mom, I didn't mean it-"
"NO, I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT!" My mom said as she walked away.
I got up and went to my room. This was bigger than what happened with my brother and Quinn. Not only did I make my brother hate me, but I also made my mom hate me more. It's like I did the opposite of the plan but even worse.
I heard somebody kick open my door.
"Jeez, you can knock-" I said as I stopped. I looked and I saw Oliver looking at me with a mad expression.
I ran into my bathroom, but Oliver pushed me out of the bathroom. I fell on the floor.
"WHAT DO YOU WANT?!" I yelled at Oliver.
"You know that mom quitted her job because she couldn't leave us home alone when we were younger, right? She did it for us, not for any selfish reason. Why would you say that to her?" Oliver said to me.
"When I get mad, I don't think about anything that I say. It was an accident, and you know that I did not mean to say that to mom." I said back.
"You should learn how to control your temper. You did the same thing to Quinn just because you were jealous of me."
I wasn't going to buy myself out of this again. Quinn was right, no matter what I say, he isn't going to believe me.
"Why would I be jealous of you? I'm always happy for you." I said back.
"Then why did you tell me that I can't date her because I just met her, huh? It's obvious that you're jealous of me."
"Actually, it's obvious that I was trying to help you. I said that to you because it's true and you know that it is. You met her for 2 days and yet you wanted to date her. You should've waited at least 5 months or something. Also, it's obvious that she is trying to distract you."
"How?" Oliver said as he folded his arms.
"She tried to prevent you from studying earlier, and yes, I did spy on you guys to know that. You even made her distract you by going to the movie theaters with her. She doesn't love you; she just wants you to fail and then you can blame it on me so mom and dad can hate me more."
"She just wanted to spend time with me. Calm down and stop thinking the negative things, paranoid."
"Don't come crying to me when she breaks up with you saying that she was just distracting you."
"I always thought you were there for me, but now it seems like I was wrong. Don't talk to be again until you get back to your senses." Oliver said as he walked out of the room.
I looked at the time. Oh shoot, I forgot we had school tomorrow, but I already slept so I'm not that tired.
I looked at all of the clothes I put on my bed.
Maybe Quinn was right, I was changing for the world. All I cared about was getting friends since that was always a hard thing for me.
I grabbed the clothes that were on my bed and threw them in the trash.
I got a rubber band and put my hair inside of a ponytail like how I always did. I don't have to change for the world because ever since I did, things have happened.
But...
There was one thing I needed to change.
That one thing was my grades. If I actually want to prove to my parents that I'm smart so they can love me and my brother equally again, I will have to improve on that.
I picked out my clothes for school tomorrow. I picked out the same black oversized jacket with light blue jeans. I set them on my bed then went on my bed. I decided to go to sleep since I had to wake up early for school anyways.
I also need to think of a way to apologize to my mom about what I said. I can apologize to Oliver when he comes back to his senses.
***
**Beep, beep**
I put my sheet over my head and turned off my alarm clock.
Wait a minute.
MY ALARM CLOCK WENT OFF!
I got out of bed and got ready for school. I decided to put flower clips in my hair to make it look a little better. I went out of my bedroom and to the kitchen. When I went in the kitchen, I saw Oliver there.
Nope.
I turned back to my room and decided to wait until he leaves.
He said he didn't want to talk to me, so I also avoid him too. Besides, he can't get mad at me because he said that to me.
Then I thought of something.
Why don't I tell him the truth? Even though he will hate me for agreeing, maybe he will break up with Quinn and actually realize that I was right. Plus, he would only be mad at me for a while, but he would have to thank me for telling him the truth anyways. If it wasn't for me, he would've never known the truth.
But I just can't find a way to tell him. I need to think of something that will convince him.
Just like how Quinn said, I will spice the truth with a little lie. He will never know, and Quinn won't be able to convince him that it's not true because they would already break up.
