Holla peeps, so I finally tried making homemade pizzas after watching multiple videos on YouTube and I'm glad to announce that it came out well. If you have tried homemade pizza before, I do like to read your opinions.
So, I planned to update this chapter in the afternoon but pizza and other pastries took the whole freaking day.
On behalf of my innocent pizza and my stomach. I apologize for not updating during the day.
This chapter is dedicated to these amazing people. Wattpad favor_pearl fortune_Mitch ObssiveFangirl99 marsmelegixd Haleoseba Glardeez
I splitted this chapter into two because it was getting too long.
_____
I have watched, observed, and studied critically for years before finally coming up with the theory. A theory that says that I always run back to food to find solace and comfort myself when I'm in any form of dilemma.
My nonchalance to everything surrounding me is second to none. I have decided to be selfish and invest in me. In my own self by utilizing my free time and enjoying every bit of it. I have even plotted a schedule on how to make my self so busy with self-care that I won't have time for anyone.
It's officially Tuesday, my suspension starts from today till upper week Tuesday.
My parents are still not back and I don't think the school called them because no one has mentioned fighting or suspension.
I sat down in my room with my legs crossed under me munching on pepperoni pizza and a huge bowl of cold stone ice cream which I ordered for while watching Netflix. G.O.T 'game of throne'.
I dipped my hand into another bowl of extra buttered popcorn that laid on the bed. Picked some paprika Pringles and threw in my mouth while watching Thanos flex muscles.
I took a bite from my snickers chocolate savouring the peanut taste, took a bite from my hot spicy sausage before finally picking my flute of pink lemonade that has been waiting for me to pick it.
Okay fine, I'm on suspension, but who says I can't enjoy it and make fun out of it?
It is basically principal Tyler's loss because I'm right here having a vacation. As soon as I finish the movie, I planned on swimming in the huge pool downstairs before finally having a cool siesta.
But like the saying "If wishes were horses."
Because Mr big fat ego just texted me he was outside which means I might not complete my extremely official busy schedule for today.
I could hear footstep nearing my room before my door was finally ripped open. Rest in peace to the door, I silently prayed.
"Hey baby doll," Ralph called as he hurriedly plopped down on my bed with a sigh.
"This doesn't look like a suspension woman," he frowned and tilted his head to one side giving me the questioning look.
"So, what does it look like because this is what anyone on suspension should do," I shrugged my shoulders and scooped a large spoonful of ice cream to support the pizza I just slid into my mouth.
"This is unbelievable." He shook his head and facepalmed.
"You know the saying, Make best out of every situation, which is exactly what I'm doing," I stretched my lips into a fake grin and batted my eyelashes profusely before facing the TV.
"How did the good girl end up with a suspension?" He queried as he tried to pick my chocolate.
I instantly slapped his hand away "Not so fast mister, not after you criticized this when you stepped in," I continued while he had on a flabbergasted look before finally laughing.
"What, so you wouldn't let me have a taste or join your party baby doll?" He queried as his brown eyes rested on my face.
"No, I wouldn't, but on the contrary just because you are my boyfriend, I will let you lick the stains or remains from the nylon when I finish eating it," I affirmed smirking enjoying the reaction I'm getting from him.
"Nah, you can't hate me so much, and I'm so gonna eat all of this up if you don't cooperate," he threatened, rolling his sleeves to reveal his bulging muscles silently meaning business.
"Show off," I said rolling my eyes and picking another Pringles to pop into my mouth.
"Hmm, someone is jealous of my muscles," he said thoughtfully as his index finger tapped his chin while he stared at the ceiling.
"Whatever, no touching of my food or properties else you will be executed, "I warned sipping my lemonade.
"Too bad someone is going to be crying when I'm done eating all theses goodies," he stated icily.
"Try me then," I challenged ready to beat someone black and blue.
He moved back a little bit and grabbed my chocolate as he jumped from my bed like a hardened criminal.
"Hey, what are you doing?" I frowned and stretched my hand for my chocolate.
"Exactly what I told you I was going to do." He winked, took a bite from my chocolate and moaned at the sweet sugary, coconut taste.
"What the heck thief!" I hollered and gave him a total hot chase. But of course, he was faster, while I chased him around, he picked the box of pizza and began running again.
"Nooo! not the pizza dude, not the damn pizza," I stamped my feet and almost cried. Adrenaline surged through me and I increased my speed at chasing him.
He chucked my half-eaten chocolate inside his mouth and threw the nylon over to me.
"You can lick the remains baby doll," he hollered, smirking at me and continued running round and round my room like we were some freaking kids playing hide and seek.
"You are such a bully and a trouble Maker, now you're disrupting my movie and schedule for today," I panted hard and tried to catch my breath before continuing my chase.
"Well that's because you refused to share and bluntly challenged a whole mighty bad boy Ralph, what were you thinking? You have no respect for me?" He perused, eating a slice of pizza and still running.
"You are nothing but a little small mouse to me, what makes you mighty," I asked, smirking as his running came to an abrupt halt knowing I just brutalized his big ego, he dropped the pizza on the floor so fast as he faced me.
"Run for your life baby doll," he forewarned before giving me a wild goose chase.
Now the table has turned because I was doing the chasing before. I ran into the living room screaming and spiralling into the compound as he continued to chase me.
I could see him run faster and closer to me, I screamed in anticipation as he caught my waist before finally pulling me to face him.
"What were you thinking baby doll, that you could outrun me?" He cocked a brow, a look of amusement and flirt took over his facial structure as his eyes stared deeply into mine.
He lifted my chin with his index finger to face him squarely, a smirk forming on his face.
"I will show you how bad a small mouse-like myself can be," he said with a rusty voice while I swallowed thin air at how seductively he sounded.
His male Cologne hit me so hard clouding my thoughts as I felt my knees weaken under me. His tall height made him look like a giant while I squeaked like the little mouse. His bangs covered his eyes, giving him an edgy look.
"What can a poor little mouse do other than steal food," I hissed and tried not to let my defeat evident in my tone.
His hand snaked down my waist pulling me closer to him in a fast motion that left me breath taken and had my heart pounding so hard that it wanted an escape from the hot sexual tension. Bloody traitor.
He angled his face towards mine slowly without breaking eye contact. His brown eyes suddenly appeared glossy and filled with lust. I equally angled my face till my lips touched his slowly and from there he took control. Kissing me so passionately and vigorously that I needed a form of support so I don't end up crashing on the floor since my bones have dissolved into jellies.
He shoved me to the wall and pinned my hand far above my head while he deepened the kiss. He kept fighting for entrance in my mouth while I blocked him.
"Stubborn baby doll," he remarked, tickling me.
While I started laughing, he used the opportunity to slide into my mouth. My hands got tangled in his tousled hair as I began to stroke his chin and ruffle his hair. I broke the kiss to do a neck kiss for him which I believe he enjoyed judging from the various reactions his face showed. I then tried to kiss him back and was frustrated he wouldn't let me, instead he turned his face and my kiss attempt met his cheek.
"What are you doing Ralph," I groaned as he began laughing.
"Why will you of all people want to kiss the poor little mouse, are you enjoying his company and kisses?" He taunted.
"What? no!" I replied, totally flustered that all of this was to prove a point and I stupidly let him.
"Can you see you can't do without the mouse?" He tucked some strands of hair behind my ear.
"You are addicted to me." His voice came out rusty. Deliciously seductive. I want to hear that sound every day of my life. I'm truly addicted to the bad boy.
"You wish! In your wildest dream," I scoffed, walking away from him.
He soon lifted me bride style and took me back into the house.
"What are you doing, put me down," I reprimanded, struggling to get down but his hands were pretty tight around me.
"No I won't," he said, sticking his tongue at me childishly.
I continued hitting his chest and screamed all the way up but all to no avail.
He finally dropped me on my bed and sat close to me.
"You still haven't told me what led to your suspension."
"Nate and her minions attacked me and just when I wanted to defend myself, she blacked out."
"That plastic ass bitch again, I should have known," he said angrily as his knuckles turned white from squeezing it so hard.
"Don't call her that," I said silently, gauging his reaction.
"What did you just say?" He asked incredibly.
"Look, Nate isn't well and she is currently battling with cancer." I disclosed, looking at him sadly as my lips trembled.
His face instantly became ghost paled as he froze for some seconds.
"You don't mean it, do you?" He queried his face scrunched up in worry.
"She told me herself, I really feel sorry for her, she didn't deserve all of that," I said and began to break down.
He moved closer to me hugging me as my head rested on his shoulder.
"Hey, stop crying baby doll, it will be fine okay," he assured me, staring at me sympathetically.
"No, it's not going to be fine because she has just five more months left to live." I choked and sniffled back the mucus that almost came tickling down.
His face showed shock and disbelief as he got lost in his own thoughts. He cracked his knuckles and squeezed my pillow so tightly. If it wasn't just an ordinary pillow, it would have been dead twice.
The room became eerie silent as we both couldn't talk or because we didn't know what to say. It was devastating and surprising. Yes, I dislike Nate for being really mean and nasty towards me since the very beginning of twelfth grade. But I don't hate her, I swear I don't. Cancer is too grievous. It is like a terminal disease that sounds like a death sentence the moment it slips from the Doctor's tongue.
"It's fine, cheer up," he nodded his head and pulled me closer for a hug.
"You know what? I know what is going to cheer you up just fine," he said suddenly as if a light bulb just tinged in his head.
"Get dressed baby doll, we are going out," he blurted out excitedly.
"I'm better off at home," I stated stubbornly.
"No you are not, how can you be alone in your room and expect to be fine?" He touched my cheeks delicately, looking into my eyes and giving me the puppy cute look that no one can say no to.
"Fine, where are we going to?" I swallowed hard and stared at the floor nonchalantly.
"It's a surprise," he said, smiling as his dimples popped out.
"You have to let me know so I can decide on what to wear," I said in a bored tone, still frowning.
"Wear anything you like, you look good in everything," he flirted while I chuckled.
"I'm just going to wear a towel and bathroom slippers which I believe will be perfect since you bluntly refused to hint me on where we are going." I taunted.
"As refreshing as that sound, I wouldn't want you wearing that even though you will look incredulously hot in that," he flirted, giving me a wink while a blush stained my cheek.
"Fine, get out of my room so I can change," I nudged my head towards the direction of the door.
"Why you can always change right in front me, can't you?" he mocked in a girly accent as he blinked repeatedly.
"What the heck, just shut up and get your sloppy ass out," I hollered while he chuckled.
"What do you mean, my ass is way sexier than yours, I can close my eyes so just change," he stated, smirking deviously.
"Says the guy with a flat and slightly crooked ass, anyways as innocent as that sound, I think it a ridiculous idea," I rolled me eyes at him while he chuckled slightly and feigning annoyance.
I began throwing pillows at him while he raised his hands and surrendered.
"Just so you will know it, my ass is beautiful and assful," he stated amusingly.
"What, is there even such a word like assful? just get out," I grabbed his muscular arm and began dragging him towards the door.
I dragged him off my bed and threw him out of my room before slamming the door shut.
"You really should frequent your dictionary," he said pounding his fists on my door.
I sighed tiredly and fell face flat on my bed wondering what outfit to wear. I heard the entrance gate open and saw Jess and the guys.
Great, just great that my well planned busy schedule won't take place again. But on the contrary, I could use some help with what to wear since I suck at it obviously.

So, guys, I was supposed to update on Saturday but I was too busy seeing a Korean movie. Why the hell are Korean movies so addictive?
I told myself after an episode I will stop to write but I failed woefully. I watched the movie episode by episode and I'm still not done with it. Korean movie is the reason I wasn't able to update on Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday. I still have more episodes to watch but I told myself I must publish this chapter today and only then can I earn some episode to watch today. It is called self-discipline.
