“Better you than me. If Andre had tried that with me I would have cut his tongue.” Siobhan was laughing as she hung on to me and hugged me tight. “But it wasn’t so bad, was it? He’s such a good kisser.”

I couldn’t speak. I wanted to punch Andre in the face, maybe even throw him in the pool. My throat was tight with unshed tears.

“I can’t believe that stupid Adeline wanted to start a fight with me!” She smacked her lips. “Hmm I need to reapply my lipstick, Andre nearly licked it all off. Come with me, darling.”

She started to pull me away. I held back. “Excuse me,” I said. I wasn’t in the mood to even talk or be her shadow tonight, I just wanted to find a place to cry. When I pulled my hand away from hers she wanted to hold me back but I stopped her. “Siobhan please not now.”

I wish she had noticed the strain in my voice or even recognized the look of hurt in my eyes after I had just been humiliated in front of all our classmates yet all she cared about was her lip gloss. I guess my fe

    Aaron's declaration surprised me yet amid my shock at his declaration I still couldn’t bring myself to forgive Siobhan for her reaction to Andre humiliating me and I don’t know about you but it still hurts. I didn’t talk to her the rest of the party and even before it ended I left and went to my room, had a bath, and fell asleep on my bed as soon as my head hit the pillows. The one good thing that happened that day besides Aaron’s still surprising declaration in front of the whole class was that I had dreams where I was free to torment Andre any way I wanted.The next morning I was doing a lot better anger wise but I still wanted Siobhan to come and apologize because I would have done the same if I was in her shoes last night. I went about my duties avoiding everyone as much as possible. And doing this meant I couldn’t stay inside the seniors' quarters for too long. Since it was a weekend and the whole school was now resting after a very strenuous compulsory sport session I went back

    “What are you doing?!” I almost screamed. Somehow I was able to contain my voice into a whisper but it came through my clenched teeth. “Everyone can see, Andre!”He smiled down at me. “It’s either this or let you drip to the hostel. I think as the head girl you should preserve your reputation. Didn’t the former head girl used to be known as Aunty Flo for a period prank?”He had a point and I hated it. I hated that I was in his arms. Yes, I hated it…it felt good though. I was in Andre’s arms. His muscles bunched up in his arms and I wanted to sink my teeth into them.Oh God, I just want to die now. I wondered what he thought about seeing the blood on my shorts. Wasn’t he embarrassed or disgusted especially since he would have the stain on his shirt too?“You really need to do something about this staring habit of yours,” he commented with a half smile. “I would think you were in love with me.”I snorted. “Yeah, that’s never going to happen.” It was incredible the distance he could cov

    “Oh it’s you,” I rolled my eyes and rolled on my side to bury my face in my pillow. “Oh don’t be like that Bibi,” she purred. I heard her footsteps on the floor as she ran over to my bed. “Are you still mad at me?” I rolled my eyes and closed them. “Come on!” She shook my shoulder. “Siobhan, I’m on my period, can you not shake me so hard?” Her mouth formed a surprised ”O” and she released me and frowned. “No wonder you’re so cranky.” Her eyes fell on the bag filled with goodies. “Ah, you’ve got a care kit ready already. Is this why you were so cranky yesterday? You left the party.” “Took you long enough to notice, Siobhan, and you’re only just coming to say it.” “Geez, come on, Bianca. It was just a harmless dare and you know it.” “Sure it was,” I mumbled into my pillow. “That’s why you almost tore out Adeline’s eyes yesterday.” “Okay fine!” she finally conceded. “I was happy he didn’t kiss me but I guess I got too selfish to realize that my best friend would feel bad that she

    I got a visitor that evening before I could make up my mind about pulling Andre aside for a chat though. It was Aaron and he was curious to know why I decided to shut myself in for so long. He came with dinner, not school dinner. Apparently, Aaron is a bit of a cook. He made spaghetti with a minced meat pie. I didn’t know he had an oven in his room.“I haven’t seen you all day and I thought you might be hungry.”“Wow, how am going to eat all of that?” I laughed looking down at his hand loaded with all the good stuff.“We could eat it together – if you let me in that is,” he said.Suddenly realizing I had forgotten to invite him in I laughed and stepped back. He smelled so good like he just had a nice shower and washed his hair with something that smelled like kiwi shampoo. My hormones must be raging so I couldn’t help breathing him in. He smiled.“Okay, that wasn’t weird at all.”I blushed, embarrassed that he caught me. “I’m sorry,” I laughed. “Come in.” I went to the kitchen to brin

    Later that evening Aaron left and I had to get dressed because being a Head girl doesn’t mean abdicating my duties just because I am on my period. So I got my ass out of my room and went to the dining to make sure there was order during dinner. Sure enough, some miscreants took advantage of the absence of the prefects to make trouble but as soon as we walked in there was instant peace and quiet. The junior students were the first to get their dinner followed by the senior students from classes 1 to 3. I didn’t feel like eating since I was stuffed full of Aaron’s spaghetti and pie, however, the rest of my class went to get their dinner. As I sat down there reading the novel Andre gave me someone suddenly grabbed my hand and snatched the book from me.“What the…?!”It was Carla and she was staring at me with some sort of accusation in her eyes. “Where did you get this?”“Uh, your brother gave it to me. What’s the problem? Why did you snatch it like that?”“Andre gave it to you?” she ask

    “I couldn’t agree more,” I said as soon as I stepped out into the cool night outside the dining. Andre stood with his back to me, ramrod stiff and tensed. I couldn’t care less whether or not he was in a bad mood, especially considering the fact that we aren’t friends, I’m just being polite because of Siobhan and he’s doing the same. “It’s about time we talked about some things and stopped playing around like kids.”He swung around and I took a step back at the sudden assault of his height and strong build. “Stay the fuck away from my sister,” he bit out through his teeth.His order took me off guard. It was a sudden and unexpected warning but given the look he gave her while we spoke in the dining, I guess I should have sensed it coming. But I wasn’t about to have him ordering me around yet again.“And why should I do that?!”“Just stay the hell away from Carla!”“And I want to know why? So you can have all the attention to yourself? Don’t you have enough with half the female populati

    “I thought you would be thrilled,” I said raising a brow at her outburst.“Yeah no, I’ll pass. She’s weird. Have you seen the way she looks at me?”“She’s just shy. Besides she needs friends.”She snorted. “Yeah right. She’ll have friends when she stops being a total freak!”She turned away to stop some of the girls from attempting a flip. “That’s enough, we will let you know if you made the team.” She looked over her shoulder at me. “Look, Bianca, you can’t convince me to let that girl on the team.”“Not even for Andre? He loves his sister and I think getting close to her will increase your chances with him. Unless of course, you want Eva or Rebecca to swoop in for the kill.”I had her full attention then. She came closer to whisper after a pause. “Do you really think that will boost my chances with him?”Jesus, I don’t even know who is worse between her and her dad. They see everything as a business opportunity. It doesn’t matter how much blood you have flowing through your veins, t

    I found Andre eventually. Okay, let me start at the beginning. I couldn’t find him at first because he was avoiding me, yes the same way I was avoiding him when I found out I was supposed to be his student guide, thank God that one is over now! So later that day I ramped up my search for him and finally found him…get this, I found Andre in his apartment after dinner on his couch with Eva over him, Andre’s hand squeezing her butt, roaming her body while he kissed her.“Oh my…are you kidding me?!” I yelled. They are lucky half of our classmates were either still in the dining room or hanging around somewhere and the remaining half probably don’t care what they were up to, but then again maybe that was why he and Eva decided to stay back in the hostel to make out. “You literally just asked my best friend to be your girlfriend a few hours ago like a love craze jerkface.”Unbothered, Andre took his time getting his hands off Eva’s ass. Eva looked too pleased to pretend she was scared of wh

    When I woke up it was the morning of the next day. My room was bright and I couldn’t open my eyes because of that but when I tried to lift my hand to shield my eyes I discovered there was someone holding it. For a moment I panicked thinking I was back in Mainland, restrained. But when I opened my eyes it was Siobhan and she had tears in her eyes.“Siobhan?”She threw herself at me and hugged me tight. “You are alive! I was worried. I was so worried I was never going to see you again.”I hugged her right back because I had missed her so much. My heart ached at the thought at I could easily have died and never seen her again. But when I released her and saw the bandage on her wrist my heart lurched.“Oh my God Siobhan, what did you do?!” I asked sitting up.She cried and told me what happened and as I listened I found it increasingly hard to believe what she was saying. There’s no way I can be Edna and Anton’s daughter. And Siobhan had tried to kill herself because of that?I felt so so

    Andre’s POVIt was a lot of hours since we got the call from Carol. Anton already had the money ready. The rest of the group had gone to freshen up but I was told to stay back at the hospital.“But, Mr. Hayes, Carol wants me. That’s the only condition she offered for releasing Bianca, the money doesn’t matter.”“I will not leave you to her mercies. You are the only link I have to your father and if I must do something right, I will take you under my wings and look after you like a son. But I want you to stay here and look after Siobhan, make sure she doesn’t try to hurt herself again, and talk to her when she wakes up.”I nodded my head but I was still worried.“What if Carol doesn’t…”“I have enough money to bribe her to leave you alone. I can only hope she accepts it and leaves you alone for good.”Tears filled my eyes as I doved into his arms for a hug. He hugged me just as tight.“It’s the least I do for what happened to your father. Now stay back and keep Siobhan safe.”“Yes, sir

    “I’ve got a call,” he announced to everyone else. We all gathered together, forming a small circle. He waited until everyone was there before picking the call. The phone wasn’t on loudspeaker but I strained my ears to hear what Carol had to say. Of course, she demanded money and made the request I knew she was going to make. Give me Andre Rios.When Anton dropped the phone from his ear he sighed.“Well?” Cole asked impatiently.“She will let Bianca go for a price and in exchange for Andre.”Four pairs of eyes turned to me, three of them curious to know why Carol would make such a specific request.It was Cole who voiced the question. “Why does she want you?” he demanded. “What do you have to do with this?”I started to answer truthfully but Anton interrupted me. “He has nothing to do with it but we will give her the money she wants and negotiate for him,” he pointed at me.Cole wasn’t convinced with his answer but the look in Anton’s eyes was one that demanded respect for his decision

    Bianca’s POV“You said this was Siobhan Hayes!” Dez argued.“I said this is the girl, don’t put words into my mouth, Dez. And try not to argue with me. What did you learn?”Carol had sent Dez out early to scout for information around town. She wanted to be sure the police weren’t on their tail. But Dez didn’t have such good news.“The news is, one of the students missing from Edwin and Co., the Head Girl, is Bianca Davis and she was last seen in the company of a gang woman in Mainland.” Dez, though short had the build of a boxer and from the scars on him, I could see he has been in his own fair share of vicious fights. If I tried to escape how many steps would I take before he overpowered me?I didn’t even want to think about escaping. I just prayed silently that some miracle would happen and I would be allowed to go home.Carol listened to Dez for a moment and then nodding her head, looked in my direction.“Turns out you are causing a whole lot more trouble than I expected.” She turn

    The next morning after a sleepless night I heard a knock on my door. I sat upright in bed thinking it was Siobhan. I was ready to confess now but first I needed to call Carol.But when the door swung open it was not Siobhan that was standing there, it was Edna. Her eyes were puffed and red and she looked extremely vulnerable.“Can I come in?”“It’s your house ma’am, you can,” I responded humbly climbing out of the bed. She walked over and sat gingerly on the edge of the bed. I joined her not knowing what to say or do.“Do you think I am a monster?” she asked. Her hazel eyes stared into my soul. I know what color Bianca’s eyes are, they are hazel but they definitely didn’t look like this woman’s. Yet…the possibility was there. “You are Andre, right? My daughter’s classmate. Tell me, Andre, and be honest with me, do you think I am a monster?”“You did exchange a child for one of the craziest reasons I have ever heard, anyone would think what you did was insane. But you cared for Siobhan

    “When we couldn’t have a child I resorted to drastic measures…”“Yes, you invited me to your mom, Mrs. Hayes, under the guise of a friendly invitation, drugged me, and assaulted me in the hopes of getting pregnant when you feared your husband was sterile. You almost destroyed my marriage!” Bianca’s dad yelled holding on to his wife protectively.Judging by Siobhan’s reaction to the news this was the first time she ever heard of it. Her mouth hung open and if Anton hadn’t been holding her she probably would have fainted.“I apologized for that,” Edna moaned softly, her voice croaked. “I know it doesn’t change what I did but I regretted my actions that day, I felt like a monster for almost destroying you, and believe me even now I regret that decision.”“Yet you made another terrible decision, Edna. When does it end? The lies, Edna, when do they end?”“They end now. I’ll tell you what happened.” She sniffed. “Years after we got over that unpleasant issue I found out why we couldn’t have

    Bianca’s POVIt’s hard not knowing what your abductors want from you.Well, I wasn’t blindfolded so I could see everything going on and one thing I realized was there was no way out for me. There was nowhere to run to when we were on the road and when we bypassed security and got to Mainland, Carla pulled out a gun and made sure I kept my lips shut as we made our way to town to a house she said belonged to Andre’s dad. It was a nice house but as we walked past rooms and halls I could see that it was lacking financially.How many more lies, Andre?Thinking about him broke my heart because I didn’t know what to think. Just last night we confessed our love to each other and found comfort and pleasure in our bodies. What was he hiding even then? Why wouldn’t he tell me?Even though my heart fought hard against my doubt it felt like everything was a lie. He and Carla – if her name is Carla at all, had it all planned. The ease with which I was taken out of school shows careful planning. Als

    “Who is he?” Was Anton Hayes’s first question as soon as we got into the house. Siobhan’s mom had grabbed her almost as soon as we came out of the car, hugging her and crying as she kissed Siobhan’s hair and face.I think that was about the same time Mrs. Hayes noticed me standing there with my small luggage. Her eyes were hazel unlike Siobhan’s and very curious as she took in my appearance.“He is my classmate,” Siobhan said. “He lives far away so I offered him a place to stay. He can stay here right Dad?”Anton was staring at me a little too closely and I felt uncomfortable but then he grunted and I guess that means yes. A housekeeper came to carry our bags and I suppose she was going to prepare a room for me too.“What happened?” Mrs. Hayes asked, going back to hysterical. “The school suddenly called and asked that all students should be taken out of school. It’s all over the news but no one is saying anything. What happened?”Siobhan shared a glance with me and as she had been doi

    “Please don’t!” Carol cried, putting her hand up.to stop him. “I will go with him, Alex. I will go to Edwin and Co. with him and get Siobhan back.”Alex stopped moving. His eyes were glazed over and he continued to stare at my pathetic state on the floor with Carol cradling my head on her shoulder. He didn’t say anything. He didn’t look like he could utter a word as he stared in a trance. I coughed and blood sputtered out of my mouth. Carol cleaned it up her face etched with worry lines.“I d-don’t…” I managed to say.“You have to.” Her voice was firm, her tone strong. “Come let’s get you away from here,” she said as she helped me up. I took a few steps, grunting in pain as I did and came to stand in front of Alex. He didn’t move out of the way but Carol steered me away from him and helped me as I walked away from the room.I heard a thud and went I glanced back Alex was on his knees on the floor. I looked away but I didn’t hear his sobs as he cried and wondered how he could have beat
