《DDLG Academy: Double Life》Chapter 17
Advertisement
We hold each other for a while laughing. We finally stand up after a while and just look at each other. He is physically here, he's not on facetime with me, he's not in a video game with me, he's actually here. He wipes one of my tears away and laughs.
"I thought you were coming in two weeks, you never told me you were gonna come early. If I knew I would have gone to pick you up at the airport!" I say slapping the side of his upper forearm. He laughs a little, "Yeah I know but I wanted to surprise you, I thought it would be more fun and it was!" I smile at him then suddenly I felt someone pull me.
Suddenly Zane and Elijah were in front of me blocking me from Liam. Both Zane and Elijah had that protective look on them when they get protective of the littles. I stood awkwardly behind Zane and Elijah and I could just see through them a bit and see Liam also standing there awkwardly.
"Who are you and why are you talking to Carmen, hell why were you even touching her in the first place!" Zane's voice sounded very protective and jealous...? Zane takes another step towards Liam and Liam just looks at him. Liam laughs a bit awkwardly and tries to make eye contact with me. I begin to laugh at this, Liam may be as tall as Zane and Elijah but compared to them Liam is a bit less built, to say the least. Elijah turns his head to face me and gives me a curious look at why I'm laughing.
"You can leave the poor noodle alone Zane it's fine, he's my friend," Liam quickly ran behind me as if I could protect him from both Zane and Elijah. I start to laugh and Liam begins to laugh at me seeing what he actually did running behind me. Zane and Elijah give each other confused looks on why we began to laugh.
Zane crosses his arms and looks at Liam giving him a death stare. "You never talked about having a friend coming over here..." Zane says. "Especially a guy..." He mumbles that part. Liam comes over to my side.
"Hi there, I'm Liam, Liam Jones and you are?" Liam puts his hand out towards Zane but he just stares at it so Elijah gives Liam a firm shake. "I'm Elijah Black and this here moron is Zane Black my older brother, Carmen's caregiver" they let go of hands.

"You're not from here are you...where are you from to be exact?" Zane questions looking Liam up and down. "I'm from the U.K," Liam says, I'm pretty sure he's getting a bit awkward since Zane is eying him down. Zane slightly nods, then looks at me.
"Why'd you run out like that? I mean I get it this "friend" of yours is here yes, but you shouldn't have run out like that," He gives me a stern look. I don't really know what to say. So I just slightly look down at my feet. The bell rings to get to our final class and Zane takes my hand.
"Carmen has to get to class, I don't know what your gonna do in the meantime, but it seems more like a, you problem than a, we problem," Zane says in passive voice. Oh shoot right I still have class. Liam stands up straight, "yup right, that's fine I have to get to my Airbnb anyways it's fine, I'll see you when you're out?" I nod at him and Zane starts pulling towards the class building. Elijah follows along with us.
The whole walk towards my last class was very awkward and silent. Once we get there we stop in front of the door and he places a kiss on my cheek, "Be good for me, and don't run out please?" I nod at him in agreeance and he walks away with Elijah to their last class.
I enter my class and go over to sit with Alex and Avery. "Why'd you run out on us like that we got worried!" Alex said. This made me happy that they cared for me that they worried. Yes, I feel made I made them worry but it made me feel happy that that care. I quickly explain to them a friend came here to see me, I didn't say Liam's name though.
The teacher finally came in after a while and sat her things on her desk. She went to go stand in the middle of the class then begins to speak, "Hello everyone I hope you're all doing good! We have a new student joining us today" I bet I know who it is.
Olivia walks through the doors. Why did she have to be in my class I really enjoy this class, she's really going to make this class miserable for me, isn't she? "Please everyone be nice to her and welcome her to our class. Would you like to introduce yourself, honey?" Olivia shyly nods. She's really trying to play a part.

"Hello everyone...Some of you most likely know me I went here before but had to leave because of some...things that happen but I'm back! But those who don't know me I'm Olivia Wilson," She says with a shy smile. The teacher smiles believe in her act.
"Olivia you can go sit over there in front of Carmen," She says pointing at an empty chair in front of me. She nods and walks my way. Just perfect...
She sets her things down and sits down. The teacher begins to speak, "Okay class today we're going to have an outdoor session, to go play outside in the playground!" This got me excited, sure Olivia being here kinda brought down my mood a bit, but going to the playground will definitely bring it up!
We all get in a single file line and then get led out to the playground outside. We all stand still in line until the teacher gives us the signal that we can go out and play. "Class you can all go and play. Be safe and please don't fight!" We all run towards the playground.
Alex, Avery, Kelly, Justin, Joan, and I all meet underneath the big swirly slide. "What should we play?" Kelly ask. We all think of a game until Avery yells, "TAG!" and tags Justin making all of us run. Justin runs after Joan first but she was too fast for him and she laughed.
He came running towards me next and I ran as fast as I could away from him. He was pretty fast, I was running out of breath. The only way to get away from him was to go down the slide or run down the stairs. I slid down the slide getting away from Justin. He quickly went after someone else. I huffed out of breath from trying to run away from Justin.
I think of a plan so I won't get tagged. I decide to go up the stairs to the big swirly slide. I hide there and catch my breath. Justin tags Avery who starts running after Joan. I could hear them both giggle. I look down and also see Olivia who gives me a devilish smile. I ignore her until I hear her scream, I see she's laying on the ground.
The teacher comes rushing towards her, "what's wrong Olivia, oh my god are you okay?" Olivia has streaks of tears running down her face. She shakes her head no and points up at me, "I...I was trying to be nice to Carmen and ask if I could play...but...but then she told me no...and pushed me off the slide! My whole leg really hurts!" She keeps on crying holding her leg.
I did no such thing! The teacher looks up and me, "Carmen get down here now!". I was going to speak up but I decide not to and instead walk down to them. Everyone stops playing and turns our way. "Is this true? You know what no, I don't want to hear it. Go to the office you're in so much trouble!" My jaw drops. I didn't even push her!
The teacher gives me a very mean stare. I groan and leave the playground walking towards the office. As I walk away I can hear Olivia give a sob story. I cross my arms and stomp my whole way to the office. Once I get there I open the door and sit down.
The secretary isn't even in here. I pick up the stuffie which was left here and play around with it. "You believe me right stuffie, I didn't push her!" I make the stuffie nod its head in agreeance. The door to the headmistress's office opens and I get up and walk-in.
The headmistress points for me to sit on a chair. I sit down and bite the inside of my mouth. "You pushed another student off the slide, why?" She questions me. I quickly speak up to defend myself, "I didn't I swear to you! She's lying, I never even touched her!"
The headmistress nods at me, "And why would she lie? She's clearly hurt in the infirmary now crying her eyes out. Zane will have to decide your punishment" I groan and slouch back on my seat. Zane is sure to believe me...right?
