Anna's POV

"I'm sorry for avoiding you", she said.

Say what? I thought she had some kind of massive confession to make like they do in the movies. Why else would she make me wait for ages? She was even acting nervous just for an apology?

She continued before I could say anything to that. "I avoided you because Kimberly made me. At that time, I thought she had a valid point."

I groaned at the mention o f Her Majesty's name. "Which was?" I asked Brooke. "What point of hers was so valid that made you act like that?"

"Annabelle, do you know who your parents are?" She asked me instead

I mentally groaned. Who answers a question with another question? Brooke, obviously. Call me evil, but I wanted to strangle her that minute. What did my parents have to do with this? I left her to continue though.

"Your mom is one of the greatest fashion designers in the world. Do you know how many people buy their clothes? Have you ever bothered to calculate how much Your Style makes in just a week? They

    Colton's POV"Colton Morgan!" My mom yelled and I groaned. I was about to answer her when on second thoughts, I decided not to. Answering her wasn't going to do much anyway, since she was just going to repeat the same words she had been saying since I got home which were "don't make us go late".I adjusted tie I was wearing and deciding that I was looking good enough. I put my phone in my pocket and went downstairs to the living room, where my parents were seated. My dad was reading a newspaper and my mom was fiddling with her phone, probably playing candy crush. What is with females and that boring game? What do they see in it?"You're finally out", my dad said. "I was starting to think that you weren't coming." I rolled my eyes. I didn't want to go but they forced me into this. "It's not like I have a choice", I retorted.My mom put her phone in her purse and analyzed me. "This suit isn't good enough", she said when she was done. I almost fainted at that. Did she really expect me to

    Anna's POVDex and I got to the venue of the occasion and he opened the door for me. Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't let him do that but it was for appearances. Plus, I didn't want it to seem like he wasn't doing his job. I gave him a grateful smile and he nodded. He was still tense. I wanted to guess that it had something to do with meeting his former bosses but I honestly couldn't fathom how that was even a big deal. Throughout the ride, he was extra quiet and had a frown on his face. That worried me because the Dex I was used to was very jovial and always found a way to get me to converse with him.I took awhile to take a good look at the house before me. It was big, that's for sure. Too big, in fact. On the outside, it looked rich but empty. It didn't have that homely attribute. I liked our house more. Dex and I didn't have to go in before we saw a butler who said he would take us to the party room.When we got there, from the door to it, I could see that it was a very lar

    Anna's POVI let out an ear piercing scream. Something that looked very much like milk was spilled on my left arm.I waited for the impact of the liquid but nothing came."What is wrong with you?" The girl who was carrying it asked me. If the situation was better, I would have slapped her. I mean, dude you spilled something on me and couldn't apologize? I guessed she was one of these rich kids who see that as a reason to be rude.Still, I was too scared to argue with her. Instead, I asked, "what was that?""What was what?""The liquid that spilled on me."She scoffed. "It was wine. Haven't you seen wine before? Or maybe your parents just can't afford it."At that point, I was just irritated. Though I was relieved that it wasn't milk, I just couldn't help the anger and irritation that came over me. I

    Colton's POVThere was an earpiercing scream. This scream had the ability to make you deaf, literally. It was so loud that the chandeliers in the ball room shook a little. Yes, I was looking at the ceiling because I was bored.All of us at my table stood up to go in the direction the scream came from. We got there to see Carly Austin and Annabelle having what looked like a face off. Carly said something and Annabelle slapped her. That brought out the madness in Carly because she started shouting and jumping up and down.Call me evil, but I loved seeing Annabelle slap the girl. Whatever Carly said must have been really bad and I personally think she was born annoying, just like her mother.With time, the parents of both girls came over and the disagreement ended. At first, I thought of just watching them and staying in the shadows, but I remembered Anna and I were supposed to be f

    Anna's POVI left the table to find the bathroom. In all honesty, I had not the faintest idea of where the bathroom was. I had three options. One: ask someone in the Austin family, two: tell my parents to ask them, three: ask a random stranger. Asking any of the Austins was out of the question for me. I also didn't want to consider asking my parents because it still boiled to having one of the Austins, most likely Carly, accompany me. I settled with the idea of asking a random stranger, preferably a girl. The problem was finding a suitable person to ask. A large number of the guests was on the dance floor. I wandered around for awhile before someone tapped my shoulder. I turned around to see Carly's brother. Well, I hoped it was her brother since they sort of looked alike. "Can I help you?" I asked him. "Actually, I'm here to help you", he said. I raised my left eyebrow. "How, if I may ask?"He shrugged. "You're obviously looking for something. I just came to know if everything i

    Anna's POVWe finally got home after the party. I was more than grateful. That was a long night. At first, I thought Dex would take me home, just for my dad to tell me that we were all going home together and that he had already dismissed Dex.The drive home was silent, very silent. In short, it was too silent for my liking but who was I to complain? It's not like I was even prone to talking with my parents until it was absolutely necessary.We got home in no time. I dashed up to my room to remove that dress I was wearing. Just like Anas pointed out, I've never been a fan of dresses and wearing one was a lot of work for me. In fact, wearing a dress was my ideal picture of torture.I got out of that thing and went to have my bath for the third time that day. I was actually too exhausted to bathe but when I remembered the events of the night, I suddenly had lots of energy. I couldn't imagine myself sleeping in

    Anna's POVI got up for another day. I remembered the events of last night and hissed. I didn't want to think of those two. I would not let them spoil my morning.I did my morning routine and got ready for school. When I was ready, I went downstairs to the kitchen."Good morning, Kathy", I greeted her. She was making sandwiches. I guessed they were for my breakfast.Kathy responded with her usual smile. "How are you today, Belle?" She asked."I'm fine", I replied.Then the worst thing of the morning happened. My mother came in."Good morning ma'am", Kathy said nervously. One couldn't blame her. My mom had never been found in the kitchen since we got here."Good morning Katherine", she responded. "Please leave us.""But she hasn't finished making my sandwich", I protested. No way was I going to st

    Anna's povWe were in Physics class and it was extra boring. I normally hated Physics but in the case, Mrs. Kyle's teaching was making me hate it even more.I looked around me to see that more than half the class was already asleep. Great, just great. I was seated in the middle row, by the window, as always. Vanessa sat beside me, on my left since the window was on my right. Brooke was in the front row, paying attention like her life depended on it."I'm bored. I want to sleep", I whispered to Vanessa when Mrs. Kyle turned to face the board."Don't", she whispered back with a tone of warning.I rolled my eyes. "But why? Half the class is already sleeping", I said."Anna, I'm warning you. Don't do it. You'll thank me later", she said and resumed taking notes.Wait, what? She had been taking notes the whole time while I stared out the window?

    Third person’s POV“Today, we will be having a pop quiz before the actual class begins,” said the strange teacher the minute he stepped into the classroom.“Good morning, sir,” the class rep said “please don’t be offended, but may we know who you are?”“Does that matter?” the man asked.“Yes sir, it does,” replied Chelsea, the class rep.“Well, my name is Leonard Lamberts and I’m your new Physics teacher,” he said with the creepiest of smiles on his face.The students continued to look in at this weird six foot tall man. He was a lanky brunette with a face so red it seemed like he was slapped all over; his neck was long as that of a giraffe. The black clothes he wore were body hugging clothes so they emphasized his thin frame. His face was already reason enough to laugh, then coupled

    Anna's POVSitting there in the study, listening to my father's tale was something I hadn't really done in a while. Deep down, I wanted to celebrate this but the situation on ground was too serious for me to do that.I knew that African American woman was up to something. It was written all over her face the first time I saw her in the house. Listening to dad's story was quite disheartening though. There he was, being accused of cheating by a wife he adored with his whole heart.In as much as I always tried to remove myself from their marriage matters, I knew what my dad was capable of. The only thing he knew was that petrol he was dealing and nothing else. He was literally oblivious to anything that did not concern work and to some extent, my mom. That was why I was determined to help him.It seemed like he was at the verge of tears, even. "So your mother is now mad at me because of what her w

    Basha Siromani's POVJasmine, an young redheaded Asian lady who happened to be Riley's personal assistant stood before us. She had a distinct look of disappointment on her face which definitely worried me. If she read a wrong meaning into the situation, she was likely to tell my wife and that would end us in a big ditch."Good afternoon, sir," Jasmine said in a cold manner and not in her usual cheerful yet professional manner."Well, what is it you want here? Can't you see we are busy?" the African-American woman said."I can't see what's making you busy," I quickly said, giving her the coldest expression I had, an expression I had not used in a very long time."Jasmine," I said, facing the young lady, "where is my wife?" I made sure to lay emphasis on the word 'wife'."She is currently in the conference room, sir," was the reply. "I actually

    Anna's POVWhy do some adults act like absolute idiots? Why do they find it fun to abuse their power and authority as adults? I could not fathom the answers to these questions of mine no matter how I tried. And here, I thought my parents were bad enough.I sat in the car, looking out the window and enjoying the scenery. I might have hated the United States but I had to hand it to them, they sure did no how to preserve nature. The people's lawns were always trimmed to perfection and the parks looked really nice."We aren't going straight home, Annabelle," Dex said, interrupting my thoughts. I pitied the poor guy. There I was claiming to be his friend when I hardly ever spoke to him. I had been a little withdrawn but he and Kathy took the brunt of it all. I really needed to make things up to them."Okay. Where are we going then?" I asked."Your mom said I should bring you to her office."

    Kimberly's POV"Er, Annabelle, no offense this isn't much of a plan." I was scared beyond measure and the plan she came up with wasn't even a plan on its own. I mean, how does going to look for the writer of that article sound like a plan?"We aren't supposed to make an elaborate arrangement. That would only confirm whatever shit they have said and have left to say," she said. "Just trust me."She didn't know that she was asking a lot by that. I had betrayed people and treated them like dirt. I didn't even have the energy to trust myself.She held my hand from across the table. "You'll be fine. Now, let's get out of here."We went downstairs. Let me rephrase that. She basically dragged me downstairs. I was just too scared to go with her. What would people think of me? Would they believe what Annabelle had to say? Of course, some of them would continue to bully me but would they ever forg

    Anna's POVIt was another Tuesday. For some reason, I was in very bad spirits. I felt strange, too strange for my own liking. It certainly had nothing to do with the fact that Tuesday was a constant reminder of my beloved nanny's death. Sure, I was naturally sad on that day but this particular thing was something else. I just decided to shrug it off. I felt that it might have been nothing after all. Maybe I was simply overthinking things."Hey, Anna," Vanessa said when I joined her in our homeroom."What's up?" I replied half heartedly."You're up," came the unexpected reply."What do you mean?" I asked. The confusion I felt was evident in the look I gave her."To be honest, I don't know how this concerns you," she began, "but Kimberly is in some kind of trouble and everyone is blaming it on you."I hissed. What was with R

  • ANNA   Chapter 39

    Anna's POVI threw my parents a deadly glare, one that would make them regret deciding to torture me. "We are so sorry you had to spend your afternoon with those two," my mom said while giving me a hug after we made sure Carly and her brother were gone.I glared at them some more. Carly had insisted on staying in my room until I had to drag her out. By dragging her out, I mean taking her by the arm and literally pulling her away. She sat down on my bed and held on to the frame. I just pulled her some more until she landed on the floor and dragged her out of my room. I then locked it to make sure she didn't go back.Unfortunately for her, I had to pull her down the stairs back to where her brother patiently sat like a normal human being. The part where I actually pitied her a little was when we realized Dex was there. He came to make sure I had gotten home in one piece. From wha

    Anna's POVWe stood there. Kimberly stood beside me and the four others stood opposite us. It looked like we were having a sparing match. To be honest, I had no idea why I sat to talk with Kimberly. I just felt something tell me to stay to talk. It was fun though. I resolved that I would do my best to get her out of that bitchy attitude.The Kimberly I talked with wasn't the one who tried to bully me. That was when I confirmed that the attitude she showed at school was far from the real her. Besides, there was nothing wrong with hanging out with her.I sent an icy glare at Mason. What did he think he was doing? What was with all these people who wanted to defend me when I had everything ability to defend myself. Had he forgotten so soon that he and I got off on an awfully wrong foot? He did try to embarrass me in front of a lot of people. If I could forgive him, why wasn't I al
