Darn Stupid Brother You Are by Mairee

Chapter 16

(Angel's POV)

I couldn't believe we were finally free from our punishments after a week of non-stop chores. My friends and I were all glad to be done with the endless scrubbing and cleaning, and we celebrated with a quiet night in the common room. As we sat around the TV, watching a mindless soap opera, my mind kept wandering to Hendrix. I was still angry with him, but he was my priority. I needed to make sure he was okay, and we needed to talk. "I'm so glad we can finally hang out again," Hande said, smiling.

"Me too," Cylan agreed. "I was starting to think we'd never see the light of day again."

Charlotte sighed. "I am happy, we don't clean this place first before we watch TV."

"Right? Ugh! I can't believe that was my life for two whole weeks. This center is turning me into something I am not." Hande replied. "Has anyone seen Dilada?" She suddenly asked, looking around.

Charlotte shrugged and shook her head and Cylan spoke up, not looking away from her phone, "Maybe she's using the restroom. That girl's too shy to say it if that's where she is." They laughed at that.

I noticed that Dilada was missing, but I didn't give it much thought. My mind was preoccupied with Hendrix. I needed to make sure he was okay. I had been thinking about him nonstop since our last confrontation, and I knew I needed to talk to him.

I wondered what he was doing, if he was okay, and if he had listened to what I said.

I knew I couldn't shake off the feeling, but I didn't know if I should share it with my friends.

"Earth to Angel!" Cylan joked, waving her hand in front of my face.

I snapped back to attention, momentarily shocked.

Hande noticed my distant expression and asked, "Angel, what's wrong? You seem a little spaced out."

"Oh! What? Nooo! I'm cool. I'm fine." I blabbered.
