uddenly rang and I jolted in surprise. As I was about to pick up the call, the door of my room flung open and I raised my eyes from my phone. My father stood in front of my door looking so pissed that his anger radiated off him in waves. He looked at me with those green eyes that I got from him. Those dangerous eyes.
