Hunted 59_Burn those who burned me!

ra’s POV:

 Several months have passed since my arrival at Lexington. By December, I’d fallen into a basic routine. sses,b, research. Over the course of those past few months, Gloria, Casey and I became a healthy family of three. Casey had finally mustard up enough courage to ask Gloria out and to his surprise she said yes. Everything was going great, I was excelling in my sses, shocking even the instructors. Never one to hog anything, I’d gained friends through study groups and tutoring. After- all, these were gonna be the minds of the people to help pioneer medicine, if I could help them get

 there a little faster I was honored to do it.

 By the time mid–terms rolled around, everyone was exhausted and eager to go home, except for me that is. I actually dreaded leaving my peaceful sanctuary of school. As Gloria and I packed, she

 walked over handing me a small notebook.

 “What’s this?” 

 “This has all of my points of contact as well as my parents.”

 During Thanksgiving, I actually spent it with Gloria and her family. Casey came that weekend to <fn39c0> The rightful source is fin?novel</fn39c0>

 meet her parents. Form the moment I met Charles and Whitney Rhinehorne, they embraced me like

 a daughter. Just as sweet and caring as Gloria, I could see where she got it from. Over break, I broke

 down and told Gloria and Casey the truth about my home life.

 “What a fucking scumbag!”

 Casey was every bit the angry big brother. Gloria cried hearing all that I had been through. Hugging me tightly, she told me any time I wanted to, I could live with her once I turned 18.

 “I’m serious ra! I know you only just turned 17, but you don’t have to deal with those people forever! The minute you turn 18, if you want to leave our doors are opened!” 

 That night I cried hard for the first time in a long time, it felt as if the weight of two lives came crashing into me at once. I was d I had these people in my life this time around.

 “So, if anything happens during winter break, you call me immediately, me and Casey will </ie and get 

 you.”

 I hugged my friend tightly and promised her I would only stay there for a few days. In the months I had been a Lexington, I had already received multiple awards for award winning thesis papers. Not once did my fathere to any of the ceremonies, lying and telling his fellow alumni he was busy. So, I had no intention on staying, I just wanted to get a few more things from that house.

 I arrived home that Friday around 6pm, there were still 6 days until Christmas, so I wanted to finish

 packing and be gone by day three.

 As I walked into the mansion, the family I had not seen in months didn’t even bat an eye as I walked through the door. It didn’t bother me; however, I wasn’t there for their warm wees.

 As I made my way to my room, I father suddenly called out to me.

 “ra! Get in here now!” 

 I walked backwards and turned around to enter the living room. My stepmother and Sophie stared at me with a smug look. Rolling my eyes slightly so he wouldn’t notice, I looked directly at my father.

 “Is there something I can do for you father?” 

 Jameson’s face twisted up with disdain at my question.

 “Such disrespect! Do they no longer teach manners at Lexington, or do you think you’re too good to address your father now.” 

 I silentlyughed at the irony of him talking about manners and respect.

 “Apologies father, I’m a little exhausted from mid–terms and traveling.”
