Chapter 2

It was two more weeks to school and Artemis was still thinking about the fact that what had gone in between Assentia and her father this morning. She understood that it was no way to deal with a crisis or a problem but she put herself in her father’s shoes and found that she would not have or could not have handled any better. Still then she thought it was just like Assentia had wanted this and she had gotten exactly what she wanted. It was such a typical behavior from her end from when she was kid. She would either cry or throw tantrums and their Mom would always relent and get her what she wanted and if it was something she wanted from Dad then she would bat her eye lashes and make her pretty faces as dad would melt like putty before her.

But that was only till they both were five years old. And after that Dad also didn’t allow Mom to fall for her tantrums. Artemis sighed at the thought that she was remembering from her childhood when their Mom was alive as she was walking through the neighborhood. Finally she reached Barbara’s home and then she called out her best friend’s name. It was their habit to walk together since school and come back from school together. Since they both had the same classes they were almost inseparable. And since they both were absolutely quiet and nerds none of them bothered that much.

“So how is my favourite nerd doing today this morning?” asked Barbara and she smiled at her best friend before closing the fence of the gate of their house.

“Well I am good seeing that I could eat proteins again this morning and then something really bad has happened Barb,” said Artemis as both the girls started walking again.

“Ooooooohhhh gossip in the morning…tell me…has that stupid moron Jack come to his senses and left your sister and then asked you out? Is he the one with whom you are going to the prom?” asked Barbara as she rubbed her hands in glee.

“Stop doing that really Barb…you look like a menacing villain…sorry, that would be vamp,” said Artemis as she nodded her head in frustration thinking that it would never happen that she would get a date for prom.

“Okay fine…now spill,” said Barbara as she realized that her best friend was absolutely correct.

“Dad has cast Assentia out of the house,” said Artemis as she looked ahead.

“WHHHHHHAAAAAAAATTTTTT?” screamed Barbara as she stood in the middle of the road with her feet rooted at the spot.

“Come on ddude….get away from there. Walk Barb, you are creating a scene in the middle of the road,” said Artemis as she started walking as she looked at her once and then turned in the front.

“What are you saying dude? That is like the most epic news? How did that even happen?” asked Barbara as she ran behind her friend. Now let me tell you the difference in between both the girls in the way they looked. Artemis was a thin and wiry girl with a spritely figure who wore misshapen baggy clothes in order to hide her slim and curvy figure unlike her sister who liked to flaunt her body every single chance she got. However on the other hand Barbara was a tall girl with blonde hair and she always cut it short so that she did not have to take care of her hair and she could focus on her studies. She had a bit of voluptuous figure which she also like her friend kept hidden in hoodies and baggy pants. And she did not like running at all for it made her breasts move in a weird manner.

“I don’t really know, Barb. I mean Dad started asking me about her when I came down for breakfast like why is she bunking school and did I know anything about that and also why did I not tell him anything. I tried to reason with him that it was really not my place to speak and he should have an open communication with Assent but he was so angry Barb. I am telling you I have rarely seen my father get so angry on her. And then I came to understand the reason. It was pretty natural way for him to act that way,” said Artemis as she just closed her eyes and recalled what she had seen that day morning.

“Okay, honestly sister. I really hear you but you are missing out details and I am not feeling the entire story here. So you have to tell me more,” said Barbara as Artemis sighed out loudly.

“This is not something that I can get away with you, because this is you isn’t it? And you have to know the entire thing like always,’ said Artemis angrily looking at her and Barbara did not take the bait.

“Well you know me since elementary school and you have never been able to keep anything secret so it is better you tell me every single thing before we reach school,” said Barbara with a winning grin on her face.

Artemis sighed at her and then said,” Dad came to get a letter from school regarding that she has been bunking school consistently for weeks and failing her grades. She has been also said that if she does not level up her attendance then she is not going to get a chance to do anything with her final exam. That means she is going to be a high school drop-out and that is it.

“Still not the whole story,” piped in Barbara and then Artemis said something she had thought would never come out of her mouth.

“My sister was the star in an amateur porn video sucking someone’s penis and that is not the worst. The worst part is my Dad saw it and he had got it from the school, probably the headmaster. And she was saying that she was just having some fun and she was not in any crisis,” said Artemis as they reached school.
