"Wow, that sounds interesting. Keep me informed, feed my gossip spirit," he asked, and I laughed. "I'll tell you something later. Now I have to go.""All right then, have a great afternoon with the billionaire," he said. "See you later. Hugs," I said goodbye to him, turning off the cell phone and
Laura I stood there without being able to move a single muscle while looking at Jason running on the electric treadmill, but he noticed the presence of someone else in the room and turned around to look at me. I noticed the surprise on his face just seeing me there, and he quickly reduced the speed
As we walked, I thought about what Abby had said. It wasn't Caleb who mattered; it was the betrayal of a friendship I thought would last forever. The pain of losing that trust was still fresh, and perhaps that was why I didn't want to think about Caleb at all. But at the same time, there was a part
Annie POV I watched my parents' car drive away with a sense of sadness; part of me wanted to go with them and give up on everything, but I was also excited to start a new life at Oxwell. The sound of the engine fading into the distance seemed to carry away a piece of my childhood, leaving me with a

Annie POV When I saw Abby walking into the dorm, I recoiled, all the happiness of that day cooling instantly. So Abby would be the girl to take the third room? My mother and Abby's mother went to have a private conversation, leaving us girls alone. Abby and I stared at each other impassively, with

Annie POV After dinner, Summer and I returned to my room. Night was falling, and a fresh sense of expectation seemed to settle in with the darkness. The lamp next to my bed gave the room a soft, almost magical glow. "Let's do a skincare session before we go to bed?" Summer suggested, already getti
Annie POV We were called for dinner, and as we went downstairs, I found my parents in the dining room with the twins. "Sit here next to me, Summer," Daniel invited with a little smirk, patting the chair beside him. "No, sit next to me; it's better, beautiful," Stephen also invited her, making poo
