"Mum!" Kate yells and runs after her.
Tyler didn't even act like anything had happened and went straight to his room. Same with Mr. Carly.
I just head straight to the kitchen to pick up a broom and a parker. I get back to the living room and start cleaning. I try fighting back the tears that were trying to find their way down my cheek but it turns out unsuccessful. Living off someone never really ends well.
I guess I'm not welcomed here either. I lost everything I had at home and I guess I'll also be losing the people I thought were my family. I don't want to be the cause of a scattered home, especially not Kathie's family.
I pick up the Pieces of glass on the floor and shove them into a basket. Still cleaning up the mess created, I hear the argument between Kate and her mom. She's trying so hard to support me which I love, but I guess her mom had always had this much hatred for me.
Though I had succeeded in fighting back my tears, I couldn't help it this time, as her mom's final words hit me really hard.
"Kate, whether you accept it or not, Adrienne is a loser, a slut and a destruction. That's why she's got no family! Get it!"
Why am I rejected everywhere? I fall to the ground not caring about the shattered glasses trying to find their way through my skin, as I cry like the day I lost my dad.

ADRIENNE'S POV
It was a week after the incident that occurred at Kate's house and since then I've been trying to find a cheap apartment to move into, though I haven't told Kate about it.
We all acted like nothing had happened that night and I totally appreciated it because, believe me, I'd got nothing to say about it.
During the past week, I saw Nicolas at the Cafe we first met. I even memorized the name, Daisy's Cafe, because it was where I had my first encounter with Mr handsome. We spoke a little but he had something to attend to so he left on time.
Though we planned on meeting another time.
Making it more special, he asked for my number, but I couldn't get his.
I enter the class room, and settled down for history class. Last week's class was quite a mess because my mind wasn't there at all and I really hoped to make up for the subjects I missed.
Bringing out my history book and textbook, I hear giggling's coming from the front row. Ignoring it, I bring out my phone from the left pocket of my jeans and message Kate.
where are you?
Are you skipping lectures today?
Or you're with Christian?
Hit me up as soon as you see this message!
I hadn't seen her during biology class that we both take together and that got me worried as she hadn't updated me on her absence.
As I hit the send button, I notice a tall shadow stand in front of me. I bite my lower lips and try to ignore the figure. I think it got my message as it moves away from my front to sit beside me.
Immediately, I turn to face the person and the first thing I see are those deadly smile coming from the person who almost killed me. Well not like he killed me killed me but for Chris sake he abandoned me!
"Hey" his cold voice musters up.
Stacking my books together, ready to flee from what is yet to come, I turn to face him sternly and ask a foolish question.
"Did you just greet me"
"Obviously" he replies with distaste in his voice.
"Alec you're seriously not worth my time"
I stand up to leave when our intimidating history teacher comes in with his round glasses placed over the bridge of his nose.
"On your seat everybody"
Before I could try to quickly leave, an obvious nerd sits right next to me, blocking my way. Giving up, I sit down quietly and start picking my nails.
"So, I was wondering how your body was... faring you know" he smiles as he uses his thumb to rub his jaw.
"I guess it isn't yet my time to go" I answered in a hushed tone.
"Miss Russo, it will be nice if you leave my class" Mr. Lance says through gritted teeth.
Though embarrassed, I fight back the smile appearing on my face.
Not wanting to argue, I pack my belongings and stand up.
I turn to face Alec, giving an angry glare.
" You're fucked up, big time" I say these words aloud and storm out of the class.
I walk straight to my locker and throw my books into the locker. I've missed a lot of history class and I'm pretty sure it would affect my grade.
That asshole!
My phone makes a beeping sound that told me i had a new message. I unlock my phone to read it.
Adrienne, want to meet up at Daisy's?
Nick surprisingly message me. Now I have his number.
Sure. I've got something to discuss which I think you could be of help with.
I replied quickly.
Are you free now?
He asks.
Not particularly. What of in an hour time?
I ask.
Okay, that works too.
He replied.
I just hope what I had in mind really works out.

ADRIENNE'S POV"Over here" Nick says giving me his flirty smile.I walk straight to him hiding the various thoughts going on inside my head. Just then I notice another figure seated directly opposite of him, head bent like he was going through his phone, a strawberry milkshake in front of him.I grab a sit next to Nick, facing Alec as I place my lemon bag on the table. I haven't really been fashion conscious of recent because there are a lot of things on my mind lately."Alec has ordered his drink, so what would you like?" Nick asks still smiling at me. He was definitely in a great mood. I turn to snicker at Alec, who seems not notice my presence since my arrival."I'll take one Americano" I smile back at him.As Nick stands up to leave, I face Alec and notice the seriousness on his face. He had the look of someone having a serious conversation or reading something really important

ALEC'S POVTwo eyes stare at me hoping to get a reaction from the news Nick had just dropped. Nick knew better. Ever since my mom left when I was in eight grade, while Aiden was still in fifth grade, I hated the thought of having another woman around the house and so dad fired all the female employees and employed only male workers.When I finally moved out of the house to a new residence, where I and the guys stay, the only female employed, was madam Antoine, my nanny.And now, here I am facing two strange looks with eyes begging me to give permission to something I detest."What?" I ask when no one speaks up."Don't you want to be a hero to someone in need?"Nick finally speaks up, just that his statement totally contradicts my nature."I don't want to be a hero to a villain" I state firmly while trying to draw a line as I stare intently at the blue eyes o

ADRIENNE'S POVI got up as early as possible, not wanting to see Kathie before I left. I didnt like the idea of leaving while we were on bad terms, but I didnt know how else to break the ice between us. I headed straight to the bathroom, picked up my toothbrush and started brushing my teeth.I took a quick shower then walked out of the bathroom, with my hair wrapped in a towel and so also my body, with little drops of water still finding its way down my neckline, despite the towel I had on my hair.I had planned to look simple today, as always anyways. I put on black skinny jeans with a white crop top and wore my large red hoodie on top. I picked up my phone, grabbed my hand bag along with my box and headed downstairs. It was 7:47am already and I could bet Nick was nearby.I got outside and placed my box on the porch, deciding to wait there till he comes but then I felt like drinking something cold

ADRIENNE'S POVI enter the hallway creating a large distance between me and Nick who was apparently still at the parking lot. He obviously couldn't enter yet till the rest of his crew were around.I walk straight to my locker, keyed in my password before shoving my books into the locker. It was Friday and my first period always started with Literature. I loved literature but hated calculations. I never failed it, but still didn't pass it like my other subjects."Hey babe" Aileen greets me while resting on the locker next to mine. She looked stunning as ever. Her blonde curls bouncing behind her.It is really amazing how she still looks strong despite what Zack, her ex, did to her. It was the most miserable period of our lives; me, Kathie and Aileen. She was really broken after the breakup, but don't our pains make us stronger than we were before?"What about Kathie? Have you seen h

ADRIENNE'S POVIt was lunch period and I was at the cafeteria, seated with Kate and Aileen. Christian had also agreed with Kate to sit with us for lunch along with two other guys- his friends from the basketball team.Both guys were tall, one a black American and the other, a blonde with hazel eyes. They were good looking and Aileen seemed to have been smitten by them, as she kept smiling to everything they said like a possessed little girl.I had totally ignored my promise to meet with Alec after Literature class ended and as a result, I've been avoiding him all day but for how long. I just sat there, picking on my French fries as I try to pay attention to the discussion ongoing between Christian and Caleb, the black American. James, the blonde with really cute eyes performs a common trick in which he removed a coin from behind Aileen's ear."That's one lame trick" I say while laughing at his now

And this always got Kate pouting, every time we had practical because she was paired with Emily, the captain of our swimming team, and as you know it, Christian's ex-girlfriend.We enter the chemistry lab and settle down, when I notice a familiar face. It was one of Alec's friend and beside him was the two time winning prom queen, Lexi.Well how did I know this when I just moved here you ask, Aileen feeds me with all the gossip I need to know. She never takes a break. We make eye contact for a brief moment before our teacher walked in."Is everything okay between you and Kate?" Aileen whispers in my ear.I knew she wasn't going to drop the issue until she had all the answers needed."I just feel I'm no longer welcomed there"

ADRIENNE'S POVI recognize the voice and spun around quickly."Jeez, not cool Alec" I say as a sense of relief rushes over me."Are you always this creepy?" I continue talking when he says nothing."Did I scare you?" He asks with a smile.Such an asshole."Who knew the great Alec could actually smile" I say not fighting back my already showing smile.We walk side by side towards the exit of the building not saying anything."So, do you always practice till late?" I ask breaking the silence."Most times, when I have to clear my head. I use it to escape from my world." He replies honestly.Now that went well. I was actually expecting one of his snarky comments."What's your world like?" I ask, my curiousness getting the better part of me."It's surrounded with lies and betrayal." He answers quietly.

ADIRENNE'S POVI was still staring at the hands stretched in front of me. I must have saved a generation in my past life, maybe that's why I've been meeting hot dudes these days.He was the same guy I saw during chemistry practical but looked a little different from earlier. Maybe this was as a result of the change in his clothes or the fact that I was staring at him from a closer point of view."You must be Adrienne, cappuccino girl right?" With that I come out of my imagination.He must have noticed how long I dazed off admiring his features, seeing the triumphant smirk on his face. Maybe he was no different from Alec. They were friends after all."Uhhm..." I say rubbing my hand at the back of my neck, getting a little nervous."So if you done checking me out, do you mind heading inside?" He smiles this time around.I turn around and press the doorbell not wantin
