Daddies' little girl
Chapter 2
As I sit down, on the back of the car with Lauren, Dad looks at me and opens his mouth to lecture me, but I turn my head the other way, choking back tears. I can't take anymore this morning.
Dad change his mind, looks at the road and starts the car. "Iris, your seatbelt..."
"Yes, sorry Dad".
"Girls, you are lucky that I have time to take you to school today or you would have been late"
"If we had have to walk we wouldn't have wait for Iris and would have left a long time ago" says Lisa.
I look at her to reply but change my mind, I don't even have the strength. I look outside again. Dad drives pretty fast and we are at school 6 minutes later.
"Not even late, high five!", Dad tries to lighten the mood but doesn't have a reaction from any of us.
Lisa and Lauren give him a kiss on the cheek "Bye Dad" "Love you Dad". I open the door to leave.
"Wait a minute Iris" dad stops me. Lauren looks at me, her face screaming "dude you're in trouble" and then leave me alone with Dad.
"Dad, I am going to be late"
"Now you care?". He smiles at me looking in the rear-view mirror. "Come sit down in front for a minute"
I roll my eyes but lamentably make my way in front of the car. Dad laughs at me, I am sweaty and my hair is a mess.
"The car is not even that long". Dad says. I look at him blankly.
"I should let you go have a bad day but I don't like the idea of one of my babies being sad. What about having a little chat after school in front of a waffle, I could come and pick you up?"
I don't really like to talk "I don't know, I'd rather go home walking I think".
Dad looks at me and approach his head of mine. "What if I talk to Pap about forgetting this morning? We will put the blame on the "first day at school stress syndrome". You'll still have to apologize but we'll all forget about that after"
"I don't really have the choice, do I?"
"Nope"
"Ok then, I suppose". He puts a kiss on my forehead and smile at me
"Have a good day honey"
"Thanks" I say, with absolutely no motivation before getting out of the car and entering the school just before the doors close.
Dad change his mind, looks at the road and starts the car. "Iris, your seatbelt..."
