Chương 3: 03. Library

"Thanks dad."

After coming home, Dad decided to drop me to school, before he headed back home for his rest.

"No problem sweetie, but aren't you a bit early there's hardly anyone around?"

It was true the students would arrive only at around 7:15am..i had a good one and half hour to wait till class started.

"Oh its cool, I wanted to do some research in the library about my upcoming homework."

That I can't discuss with you since you'll probably bombarded me with a dozen questions.

Dad yawned out and smiled.

"Work hard kid."

"Will do."

Just when I was about to unlock the door my father spoke.

"Sweety is everything ok?" Despite his tiredness he seemed worried about me.

"Yeah? I'm fine." I lied turning back to face him, with a short smile on my face.

"Why? Is everything ok?" I asked in general.

"Well normally it would be Derek giving you a lift or Roman. But I guess you guys are getting along just fine? You know you can tell me anything that's bothering you right?"

Honestly he was a caring father and he worried about me, since I didn't complain much like the rest of the bratty rich kids in town.

But really if we're looking from his perspective, he wanted to know how my relationship was with the step hooligan brothers. He wanted to know if something was up since I had obviously rushed downstairs keeping my eyes wide open for them around.

Luckily they were still tucked away sleeping in their rooms.

As for the guys giving me a lift to school.

Yes, for the past two weeks Derek and Roman were giving me "lifts"

But since they didn't really want the whole school to know I was now related to them they would make me get out mid way and walk the entire way to school.

Jerks.

Yes, they sure had a heart driving me when Denise and dad were looking, but as soon as they turned away.

The brothers took advantage of this opportunity and they'd would bully me when they weren't around.

Yup best brothers a sister could ever ask for.

"Yeah, Derek and Roman are cool"

Note the sarcasm here folks.

"They're good caring step brothers." lie number two.

My dad smiled and gave me hug.

"I'm glad to hear that. They're really fond of you, you know? Especially Derek."

That punk, only cares about the truth!

It had been a long time since my father had smiled after my mom was lost in a terrible car accident, when I was five. He stayed strong for the both of us and when Denise walked in our life, she had got him out of his depression. I thought I had lost my father, but Denise was a therapist and I guess being childhood friends love blossomed between the two over the sessions.

As much as I missed my mother in heaven, Denise was not a bad step-mother.

She never expected me to call her mom and she was very open minded person with a heart of gold. I heard about her first husband from my dad once and she had divorced him a long time ago since she had caught him cheating.

My dad was a good friend and well Que sera sera as the saying goes..

For them both I would have to deal with the Caesar the annoying brothers, I couldn't stand to see either one of them upset with me of not liking the brothers. I rather see their happy faces filled with love.

I'd tolerate the brothers that bullied me in private. But two weeks is enough and if I plan to stay for a good two years with the Caesars they better start changing their attitude towards me, or someone is going to get a black eye!

Wow I'm on a roll here.

Who am I kidding?

Yesterday was just a fluke.

I acted in the heat of the moment.

Those evil sasquatch predators are probably planning to get me back somehow.

I better keep my eyes on the lookout.

We're talking about two against one here chances of survival are not good.

"Jeana?" my father interrupted my worried some thoughts. Oh no did I just space out infront of him again?! Damn it Jeana! Focus keep your $hit together! Keep it together girl.

"Err...Yeah sorry Dad spaced out for a second there. But seriously, I'm fine, go get the bad guys!! Hahaha.." I nervously laughed and he just shook his head and laughed amused at my sudden quirkiness.

I got out and I closed the door, giving him one wave before entering the main building of my school.

I had to get my mind of those jerks.

The library was yet again

Hmm I guess the librarian hasn't arrived?

The huge library was dead quiet.

"Hello. Anybody here?"

No response. I scanned everywhere in each corner looking for a sign of life...hmmm completely dead. I guess I was the first kid at school today.

Well let's begin with the upcoming project shall we?? I headed in the computer area and sat down in the corner.

I quickly logged on and started

''My Research.'

I went on Google next.

Codes terms for 187 in emergency calls.

There were many codes and I began writing them down in my little red note book for further reference just in case I tuned in on their call...It was very nosey but I found it very interesting and I wanted to learn more.

I scanned down and saw a whole bunch of codes..

187 - Homicide.

A shiver ran down my spine. I thought back hard to the call I heard....they mentioned a name..Mortez??..Maria..Mo....

"What are you doing!?"

A strict voice of a woman with a bad scar running down the side of her cheek stood their tapping her foot and looking at me angrily.

I immediately stood up out of startled out of surprise, immediately facing the scarface lady.

"Oh Mrs Scone! You surprised me."

I quickly pressed the alt + ctrl + del buttons immediately logging me out of the system.

"What's your name?" She said in her annoyed tone.

They call me Cardi Bardi, banging body, spicy mami, hot tamale. Focus! You're not cardi b ugly betty, and your name is definitely not cardi b, it's a boring farming girl name.

Wow seriously for the past two weeks I practically live in this library and take books out and still you don't my name. Shame for a librarian you're a lousy one.

Ah shoot I forgot about those exchange students from England, they enrolled with me two weeks ago too.

Ha! Yeah surely with them around you have become invisible to the rest of the school.

"Jeana..McCredie.." I said hesitantly.

"Well Miss McCredie let me remind you that the computer library opens precisely at 9:00am. You must get permission first from me to use it is that clear?"

Yes your highness.

"Yes mam, I was only doing some research for my homework." I lied.

This was my own personal research due to my curiosity with the codes.

She turned away and pointed at the exit doors.

"Don't care, get out."

Moody bitch.

Well at least I found out what the codes stand for.
