Chapter 1

Chapter 1

***

Years ago, somewhere in Los Angeles. There was a successful businessman who lived with his daughter in a very big mansion, located around a wide, blue beach. Andrews made sure his princess, Anabella had everything she ever wanted.

***

One Saturday Morning, On The Seashore...

She added water into a pot of clay mud, mixing it together with her hands and a tiny stick to give a good moisture. She dig her soft hands in the pot of white clay again, taking a little to build her glorious castle. And on this castle were two statues, her's and her father's.

With so much effort and hardwork she's put in this molding, It wanted to fall when all of a sudden, a bigger, stronger and cleaner hand supported it. It was her father's.

"You're creative my princess. In future, Would you like to become an architect?"

Anabella smiled at her father's question.

"Not only architects build houses, you know. I have a dream of becoming a gynecologist... Mum would have been with us if the gynecologist treated her earlier than that day." She continued the molding.

"Perhaps, In future, I would build you a castle, ten times bigger than your mansion and make you the happiest dad ever." Andrews laughs at his four years old daughter. 

Such quality of wisdom, beauty and intelligence reminds him of his late wife, Maeve. Anabella looks so much like her mother... Her voice, her hair, eyes, way of thinking and others.

Tears slowly gathered in his eyes, but he hid it away, not to cause his princess any worries. He placed his lips to her sweaty forehead.

She smiled at her dad, noticing what his silence mean.

"Do you miss her?" 

He looked stunned at her question.

"What? Nno...noo..I emmm- I mea-"

"I know what you mean dad, and I miss mum so much. Even if I have never seen her, I feel her love and presence, dad. But don't feel bad... because I love you more."

With her gaze on the moulded castle, she smiled at it with so much satisfaction... As if it was a real one. Anabella stopped her moulding, rinsing her stained hands in a bowl before her till it was clean. 

Andrews wiped her hands with a yellow towel, staring at her with a smile across his face.

"Anabella, do you know what would make make me happier?" His voice almost sounded shaky.

"What dad, tell me!" Excitement laced her cute voice.

Her dad held her hands in his and stared deep into her dark, brown eyes. "I would love you to fight for your dreams, get knowledge no matter what and be a strong woman just like your mum." 

Anabella looked confused.

"I'm only four, dad... I'm a girl."

Just then, Andrews realized that she was still too young to understand.

He muttered a "Sure." And carried her in a bridal style, inside. 

It was on that evening, he introduced his princess to her new mother. Her stepmother, Jane.

✳✳✳

Years Later...

"In silence I must take my seat,

And give God thanks before I eat;

Must for my food in patient wait,

Till I'm asked to hand my plate;

With a knife or fork, or napkin ring, 

I must not play nor must I sing;

I must not speak a useless word,

For children to be seen, not heard;

I must not talk about my food, 

Nor fret if I don't think it's good;

'I must not say the bread is old, 

My mouth with food, 

I must not crowd,

Nor while I'm eating speak aloud;

Must turn my head to cough or sneeze,

And when I ask, Say 'If you please;

The table cloth I must not spoil,

Nor with my food my finger soil;

Must keep my seat when I have done, 

Nor round the table spot or run;

When told to rise, then I must put,

My chair away with noiseless foot;

And lift my heart to God above,

In praise for all his wondrous love."

I recited this poem before doing anything, it gives me purpose and hope. 

When my dad was alive, the poem gave me strength. My stepmother after my father died, turned into something that I could not comprehend. 

I knew she was not always fond of me but she was never cruel to me when he was alive. 

At home, I was treated as a maid... A slave for my stepmother, Jane and her daughter. The only place I maintained some sort of freedom was school. 

The only place that gave me hope for something better later in life. 

My father, always instilled a need for education in my head. He said "Knowledge was always the best medicine", no matter where I was, my education would always be with me. 

✳✳✳

I woke up, glancing at one of my limited possessions, an alarm clock. It read 3:30 a.m. My time to get up. I got out of bed, leaving my room, to begin my daily chores. 

I kept my room clean, so cleaning here was not of importance at the moment. I proceeded to the clean the guest rooms, all twelve of them. 

Ever since, my father died, Jane fired all the housekeepers and cooks and I was to do all upkeep of the house. Moving on to the kitchen, I dusted and wiped down the appliances.

Each room I wiped, vacuumed, swept, dusted and organized. Looking at the clock, it read 6:45 am.

I was late! Briskly walking to the the kitchen, I began to make breakfast for Jane and my stepsister, Kaylle. 

I made a simple fruit salad and some orange juice for Jane and pancakes, egg whites and a few strips of bacon. 

Washing my hands, I scooped some food for the two dogs, Jane had brought with her, Bruno and Jack. 

Placing the food in both bowls, they growled at me and began to eat their meal. 

At last, I was able to feed my cat, Camilla. She was the only thing I had left from my father.

I remembered when my father had given her to me and she instantly jumped in my lap and touched her nose to my face. 

I placed her food in her bowl and sat down on the floor as she ate. She gave me such a happy feeling when I saw her everyday. As soon as she was done, I washed her bowl. Scratching her behind the ears, I kissed her head. 

"I love you Camilla." I whispered into her ear. 

She meowed back, like she was saying she loved me too but that was just not possible. I gave her some more scratches and got up off the floor as I heard footsteps making their way to the kitchen.

"Good morning Anabella," Jane said, a sinister smirk planted on her face. 

I gulped and hoped it was nothing, and that her face was just like that, fearing repercussions for doing what she would not like.

Chapter 2
For the past two days, I’ve been running a fever. I told Mrs. Jane—my stepmother—but she just ignored me, hurling insults instead. Left with no choice, I used half of my savings to buy some medicine. And despite feeling weak, I still had to finish all the house chores, or else…“Anny!! Get your butt over here!!!” Kaylle’s shrill voice rang out as she barged into the kitchen, nearly causing me to lose my balance.“I’m almost done…” I mumbled through clenched teeth, resisting the urge to give her the punch she deserved.“How long does it take you to clean this damn kitchen?!” she screeched, stomping her muddy feet all over the floor I’d just scrubbed clean.Frustration simmered inside me as I watched her destroy my hard work. Kaylle flung open the cabinets with the ferocity of someone just released from prison, grabbed some leftover bread and jam, and devoured it while glaring at me with disdain.Did I mention Kaylle eats like a pig? Well, she does.I decided to slow down my pace, determ

"Isn’t the music a little too loud?" I asked, raising my voice just enough to be heard over the blaring speakers."If you have a problem with it, get out of my car!" Kaylle snapped. "You don't get to tell me what to do—I do whatever I want!""I'm sorry," I said quietly, feeling defeated.Kaylle rolled her eyes, then slammed the brakes, bringing the car to an abrupt stop. "Out!" she ordered."Please, Kaylle, I won’t say another word," I pleaded as tears welled up in my eyes."Don’t make me repeat myself. Get out before you regret it!" she spat."I’m sorry, Princess Kay..." I said, using her favorite nickname, trying to appease her. She loved being called "princess" because it played into her overblown sense of importance.“Get in. I don’t have time for this,” she barked.I quickly climbed back into the car, feeling a mix of relief and frustration. As we sped off again, I wiped my tears and tried to calm myself down.Halfway through the drive, Kaylle glanced at me with a sly smile, the

Chapter 4
Here's the revised version, written more professionally:*** AT LUNCH ***I quietly packed my books into my worn-out white school bag, ignoring the murmurs and glances from my classmates as they filed out of the room. Some whispered to each other, and others snickered, but I pretended not to notice. I made my way to the cafeteria, grabbed a small salad and a bottle of water, and found an empty seat. I didn’t have many friends, apart from Rilynn Blonca Thompson, the headmistress’s second child. Despite her status, she didn’t carry herself with the same arrogance as most of the others.As I began eating, I noticed Kaylle approaching with her group of friends—her so-called "clique." “Hi, Bella,” Kaylle said as she passed by. She only called me “Bella” when she was in a good mood. I felt a flicker of happiness but quickly suppressed it, not wanting to give her the satisfaction."Eww, she eats like a pig!" one of Kaylle’s friends, Cole, sneered."Pigs eat better than this one," Kaylle rep

Chapter 5
At LunchI packed my books into my old, worn-out, white school bag, trying to ignore the stares. My classmates trickled out of the room, whispering things I couldn’t quite make out. Some smirked as they passed me. Others didn’t bother to hide their disdain.I made my way to the cafeteria, alone as usual. I picked up a salad and a bottle of water — a safe choice, considering the daily scrutiny of what I ate. My only friend was Rilynn Blonca Thompson, the headmistress's daughter, though you'd never know it by the way she acted. She was the one small comfort in this snake pit of a school.Just then, Kaylle strutted in with her little gang of "cliques." Or should I say "wannabe cliques?" “Hey, Bella,” Kaylle muttered as she passed, her voice dripping with false sweetness. She only called me Bella when she was in a good mood. I smiled inwardly but kept my face neutral, knowing better than to show her any satisfaction."Eww! Look at her eat. Like a pig!" Cole, one of Kaylle’s followers, sn

********THE FOLLOWING DAY*** A high pitched voice woke me from my wonderful dreamland. “Wake up, Anny!!!” She added more emphatic stress to my name like she was the one who named me.  Even in dreamland, I’ll definitely recognize that voice. It is Mrs. Jane’s. "Oh jeez! I so hate when she did this, disturbing my beauty sleep. But I have no other choice than to get the fuck up! Perhaps, I've never had any beauty sleeps since dad's death." I snapped out of my stupid thought, hissed and stretched my lazy body out of bed.  “Come clean my room, It’s really messy!” She screamed even

*** EIGHTEEN HOURS LATER *** I was busy with some school work when Kaylle entered my room. She looked beautiful but her dress was too tight and revealing. It was so tight that she could hardly move.I guess what I called her yesterday was even better compared to the way she looked. Whatever! I don’t fucking care!! “Hello darling…?” She gently greeted. “Hi Kay, I see you’re ready for the party?” “Yeah, of course. I just wanted to ask you… How do I look?” She asked stylishly. “You look so lovely.” I blushed with a foolish smile.  “Really? I know y

Weeks Later. I caught a fever and stayed away from school for a week. I couldn't eat, sit, speak, stand or walk well because I was really sick.  Kaylle and stepmum feared it might be followed by an irritable fever, the terminal kind. So she called Mrs. Aurora, the home doctor to check on me. She prescribed me some drugs that would quickly heal and improve my health. The home doctor told stepmum to let me have a week of absolute rest and eat properly. Mrs. Jane promised to take good care of me in the best way but what surprised me most was that she and Kaylle suddenly became nice to me. Kaylle served me on my bed every breakfast, lunch and dinner. With all of these care, I freaking don't enjoy myself because I wasn't used to it. She even feeds me.

This chapter is specially dedicated to all my wonderful readers. It's impossible to name all of you but I'm sure you guys know yourselves. I love you!                         #Amana-Deena. ✴✴✴ The next day finally came... Evan didn't come to my desk. I'm sure he thought by now, I must have read everything. If he won't come now, then later... 'At the library' I thought. "Our topic for this week is cell." Mr. Rios introduced. Just then, Brim suddenly banged the door open. She boldly went directly to her seat and sat comfortably. Meanwhile, Mr. Rios only concentrated writing on the whiteboard as if no one entered.

The Next Day... Everyone in school got the video of what happened. One of the girls must have recorded and sent it to others. Students turned to her, side by side in an idiotic manner...but it seemed she's yet to watch the video. We were on our table eating when a junior student burst out laughing (at the video of course, drawing people's attention).Brim annoyingly went to her seat, pulling her hair violently to the centre of the canteen. Other students turned to watch what'll happen to the girl. "What's funny?!" Brim roared at the shivering student. "No...no..thing." She whimpered. "So what made you laugh, fucking moron?!" She barked. Not caring if she was the one that recorded the vi
