There were dark circles under my eyes. It's been two days and dad was yet to return or send another message. A few more hours and we could report him officially missing. We tried to call mum but her number was also switched off. We didn't know the way to his new office so we the couldn't even go check on him.
I was really worried but we still had to go to school. It didn't help that Jerry insisted we stay at home, according to him a missing parent was a good enough excuse to miss school. Wednesday morning, we gathered around the dining table slowly eating our cereals. Jerry was sporting a new bruise on his face. Early on he had refused to open his room door, he didn't want to go to school. I got a screwdriver and Sue and I dismantled his door handle. In hindsight, I could have just used the lockpicking set I got for my birthday. But hey. We took apart the door handle amidst yells and curses from Jerry. Once the door opened Sue landed a punch squarely on his face.
"Dad might be fucking missing and all you can do is act like a fucked up baby" she yelled and stormed out.
I stood by the door looking at Jerry. Although I wanted to smoothen things out his angry and wronged expression just annoyed me. I threw the door handle and screwdriver at his feet "fix that when we return" I turned to leave before throwing over my shoulder "and Jerry at some point in your lifetime, grow up"
So you can imagine breakfast a few minutes later was quiet. Jerry stood up to pick his bowl and noisily dumped it into the sink. Sue opened her mouth to yell at him, but I shook my head at her to just let him be.
Before he left the kitchen he turned to us "I hate how you just assume that I don't care just cuz I'm not sulking around acting like the world's about to end"
Sue stood up and stalked to him in a few steps. She grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and pushed him against the wall
"If anything happens to mom and dad, our world may as well end" she released him and her fist flew towards his head again. I stood up thinking she was about to hit him again but her fist landed on the wall a hair's breadth away from his head.
 
She turned and took her phone from off the table she waved it at him. "I called mom's office when her number didn't go through, do you know what they said?" She didn't wait for a reply and continued "They said that her new replacement came early and she already left from the city since Sunday. They even threw a going-away party for her. I had to make up some stupid excuse so they don't notice anything's wrong, do you know what this means?"
I reacted this time "She was supposed to be here since Monday which means...Mom's missing as well?"
 
 
Another period ended I didn't even have time to be annoyed at the teacher's rotten behaviour. Even when Sue and I met her namesake on the stairs I had to drag Sue away before she ends up being arrested for bitch battering and assault. We went our separate ways for the last period. I had natural science while she had arts. I entered and sat on the first seat I saw. A few minutes later, the teacher entered and another class began. For some reason today we were once again learning the biology and nature of wolves. Somehow the class sounded more mystical than scientific.
 
As our teacher pointed out the different changes in a wolf's gene during the full moon the door opened with a bang and someone walked. The class went so quiet you could hear a silent fart. I raised my head to see who came in this late. 
Okay, first of all, I have seen many handsome men and guys especially after coming to this town but 'oly guacamole he was...Dang!
I was almost excited to see how the teacher will scold this Adonis. It's a natural instinct to want bad things to happen to people who are too good looking. But to my amazement, she didn't even say one word to scold him instead she even respectfully greeted him "Sir please take your seat" 
It seems like he's a bigshot around here. But Sinbad barely spared her a glance instead he walked directly towards me. My maiden heart went all over the place and I had to resist the temptation of clutching my chest to keep my racing heart in check. There were hushed whispers and muffled laughter in the class. I frowned and looked around. At some point in time, Bitchy Sue had taken the seat beside mine but I ignored her because I thought she just wanted to bug me but now, she was smirking at me and soon I knew why when I heard the deep voice above me
"Get up, that's my seat"
Again?! What's it with these people acting all territorial with their stupid seats? Well, bigshot or not I'm not moving an inch and no one's gonna make me.
So I turned to him and said in my best Royal British accent which if I may add is the worst British accent, ever "Pardonne moi my good sire but alas I do not see your name on this here chair. I'm afraid you will have to scram now"
Don't even ask me why my British had French in it
He raised a perfect brow at me "so you won't get up?"
He didn't seem angry so I acted even more haughty "I most certainly will not!"
He nodded, and I smiled in triumph, one point for Aria zero for Adonis. But then he dumped his bag on my desk and held my shoulders. 
My accent fled "W-what are you doing" I panicked
He lifted me like paper and dumped me in the next seat like trash. I felt like a ragdoll being moved from one toy box to another. My face burned red and it was either from anger, embarrassment or the fact that a guy was so close to me. Boys didn't come near me and Sue after what happened two years ago at our old school, something that led to both of us nearly being expelled.
He sat down in his seat. Bitchy Sue leaned into him, her oversized unmentionables were nearly spilling out. She sneered at me before turning to flutter her whip-like lashes at him. I'm surprised that one of those Peacock feathers didn't poke his eye out. Although he barely paid her any attention, he didn't stop her either.
Not that I care. He's stupid. Boys are stupid. It's general knowledge, really.
 
Urgh is the teacher not gonna stop this nauseating PDA. I turned to look but the teacher continued with her notes on the board. I'm sure that she definitely saw them, and she was ignoring the whole thing. I turned to look at Sinbad, just who is this guy?
