Chapter 9
Suddenly my phone started vibrating and it's a call from......
" DAD!? "
What's going on? Papa don't usually calls me at this time. Before picking up the call, I looked around to see if anyone else is in the garden. As I couldn't see anyone I picked up the call. And as usually papa's loud and kind of funny voice started ringing into my ears,
" Hey Sweetie! I heard you went to Avalon High. How's it there?? Sorry for not being able to meet you before you left. "
" Well.. everything's good so far. Yeah... so far so good. But is something wrong?? You rarely calls at this hour. "
" Umm.... no... no dear nothing's wrong. Just wanted to hear you voice, darling. I just called Dick too and had a very awkward conversation with your mom also. "
" Ooook... Dad are you really sure there's nothing wrong?? "
" Of course, Sweetie. "
" You are weird today papa "
" Ha ha ha .... am I?? Just.. even though I can't stay with you guys and even though we are apart because of my work, remember that I always love you, Dick and your mom. Have to go, meeting's starting. Love you "
" Wa..... "
Before I could even tell bye, he ended the call. And that was AWKWARD. Just then I heard the sound of a bell ringing and looked at my watch,
" Crap the interval "
I forgot that my stomach was growling... I'm so hungry right now.... I should really have eaten something yesterday. And my phone started vibrating again and I stopped midway and took it out.
" Oh my god... Oh my god... "
It's a reminder of papa's birthday. How can I forget such an important day. Today is his 50th birthday. No wonder he sounded sad and weird.
Please don't tell me that mom and Dick also forgot his birthday. If they did this's going to be troublesome.
I quickly went online, opened my FB account so I can go to my father's official one. Only few trusted people know our official accounts. But that's not the thing.. what I saw made my heart broke... Its like all the people wished him but not his family.
And currently I'm not worried about it. Im'm glad I didn't tell him about the fact Andrew and Yuki found out that i'm his daughter, if I did i'm gonna get a present. For the first time i'm glad I controlled my mouth. If my father gets angry and if he knew someone's trying to hurt me that means I'm getting tons of bodyguards, around me right this instant.
My father who's Mr. President of Illyria is an awesome Dad without any doubt. But he's strict about our behavior and take huge measures to protect us. That's why no one actually knows I'm his daughter. I usually went out with a huge makeover and used a different name. Well that was when I was in Illyria. And a matter-of-fact, he was strictly against me coming to Avalona without any bodyguards. In the end he gave up when he understood that I need some alone time and he was glad when he knew Carter's here.
In Illyria even though I were a model, people didn't know that I'm the daughter of the guy who runs the country. They usually see me on tv or during a special event. As I said only in Avalona I'm using my real name.
Anyway not wanting waste another second I tried calling papa, but it went straight to a voicemail. I sent him the photo I created for his birthday and wished him with many apologies and kisses. Then I called my mom who picked up instantly,
" Hey, sis is that you??? "
Okayyy... maybe not mom..... but my little bro....
" Hey to you too Dick. Straight to the point, did you wish papa today? It's his birthday right? "
I could hear him trying not to laugh, which made me realize something,
" Dick, did you and mom perhaps arranged a surprise birthday party for him?? "
" Woah sis, you are getting better at guessing. Bullseye... yup and believe me papa's going to love it this time more than ever. Wait mom's here...."
Then I heard someone else is picking up the receiver while telling my bro to move,
" Mom...."
" Don't worry cutie pie. Your father needs to get angry at least once a year with us if not it's gonna get boring. "
I told you my mom's crazy and that why I love her soooo much, acting like a teenager like dad, with us.
" Hello to you too mom, and yeah don't worry I'm doing fine......"
" Cut the sarcasm honey "
" Fine. But you won. You already annoyed him by not wishing. "
" Cmon pie, it's a surprise. He would love it. I'll tell this little guy here to send you all the videos. After all everyone's here except you and it's gonna get kind of boring without you...."
" Ahh.... I wish I could come. Surprise him for me too. And you know where to find my present for him too. I'm glad that at least today he could act like a normal man and not as the guy who caries the responsibilities of his country in his shoulders. "
" I know you care for him, Becca. We can always celebrate again when you return. "
" Thanks mom, that means a lot. I have to go now. It's the interval. Love you. "
I heard mom sigh,
" Love you too, Sweetie. Stay safe. "
I ended the call smiling to myself. And I now I look like an idiot now. But I can't get over imagining Dad's ridiculous face when he comes to know about the party.
Smiling to myself like an idiot, I walked towards the cafeteria which was already packed with students. I miss eating peacefully with everyone at home. Well being with such a crowd is new to me....
Just then I suddenly became dizzy... I knew I should have eaten something earlier. I always feels dizzy when I skip meals.... I lost my balance quickly before I could even think, and somehow someone grabbed me from behind, but to me that person's face is blurred. My mouth felt dry and I want water. I tried to tell that I want water but before I could finish, everything became black......
