Chapter 3

“Andre Rios, uhn?” Siobhan asked. I recognize that tone of voice. Believe me, there are many suckers who have been drawn in by that sweet tone. She knows how to enchant you and make you fall for her. It’s a rare gift she possesses that I don’t. My idea of flirting is probably poking my fingers in my eyes if I want to do that thing where I put my hair behind my ear while looking up from beneath my lashes. But Siobhan on the other hand excels at that kind of thing.

We were in a golf cart of some sort. Well, it resembled a golf cart only difference is it was much bigger so Siobhan and I sat in the back while Andre drove.

Andre. That’s a pretty name for a rude dude like him.

Siobhan leaned her head to one side and locked eyes with him through the mirror. “That’s a nice name. Do you know any hot clubs around here?”

“There are many but won’t your friend tell on you? She does look like the killjoy type.”

“Bianca? Nah Bianca would never do that. Actually we are not kids just so you know, we are 18, high school seniors.”

“So am I.”

I knew it! I knew he was my age, he just has that streetwise look that makes him appear more mature than Siobhan and I.

“So Bianca uh?” he called my name. I was looking outside the open cart pretending not to be interested in their conversation whereas I was giving him my side view, Siobhan used to say that a woman’s side view was the perfect view. I thought he was looking at me through the mirror on my side, I mean I could feel his eyes on me but when I stole a glance his eyes were locked with Siobhan’s. She gave him her biggest smile.

My heart sank. Why do I keep forgetting?! My only chance of having a hot guy take a look at me and decide he wanted me over her is if by magic Siobhan grew horns and a tail overnight.

“And what’s yours?” he asked.

“Siobhan Hayes,” I frowned at her. She just gave away her name so easily. I nudged her and she ignored me. Oh boy, here we go again. Once again I am the third wheel. Wait till Annoying Andre breaks her heart then she’ll come running back to me to tell me everything. But as soon as that thought came into my mind I sat up straight. Siobhan has dated many boys in the past, most of whom knew how rich her father was and was hoping to leech off her. Then some were with her because she was hot and sexy and the most popular girl in school.

Siobhan has done “it” before. The first time she had sex was during a spring break in Florida with an attractive 25-year-old bartender. She had promised me not to tell her parents and I did partially because I was silently wishing that one day I too would get laid.

Andre Rios looks like the kind of trouble I don’t want my best friend to date let alone have sex with. I must keep him away from her, I thought.

“I will take you to a club where a pal of mine works but I’m worried your friend here would ruin your night.”

“Oh Bianca is actually dying to party, right?” she gave me that direct stare she always did whenever she wanted me to lie.

“Sure,” I said, not sounding convincing in my head. “We are dying to party.”

I thought I saw Andre's amused smile but in the night with only flashing lights to see I couldn’t tell for sure.

“Alright then, if Bianca wouldn’t spill then I’ll take you.”

Siobhan whooped and cheered, yelling party, party, party. Honestly, she can be such a child sometimes. While she flirted with Andre I took notice of the roads in passed just in case, you know, he decides to abduct us and whatever streetwise teenage boys did with girls like us. But to my surprise, he stuck to the main roads and only took a corner when we got to the club. It was a small but bubbling place with neon lights, booze smell, music, and the works. Siobhan was out and falling in Andre’s arms before I could do a thing. It was another ploy to catch Andre in quick but I don’t think she needs to play the whole trick in her books because, by the looks of it, he was already smitten. His hands didn’t leave her waist after she ‘mistakenly’ tripped on him.

I nudged her from behind. “You know we can’t stay for too long, mom and dad won’t be long remember?”

“Yeah yeah yeah,” she said over her shoulder. “Lighten up a little will ya?” she blew a kiss at me. She was literally dancing in Andre’s arms when they entered the club leaving me to follow them.

Andre really had a pal who worked in the club because as soon as we got to the bar a young cute boy hailed him over. They talked in low tones or maybe I just couldn’t hear them because of the loud music before he turned to Siobhan to ask her what she wanted to drink. She ordered something alcoholic and he did the same. The bartender got their drink.

They forgot about me.

“I will have a coke thanks for asking!” I yelled over the music.

Three pairs of eyes turned to me as if they just realized I was there. Siobhan smiled apologetically.

“A coke?” Andre asked. The disco lights gave his eyes a twinkle. “This may be a bar but snorting lines is prohibited here.”

“More line jokes?” I rolled my eyes. And only then did his eyes settle on me again the way they did this afternoon. My breathing stopped altogether as I waited for us to resume our banter from this afternoon like a stupid little schoolgirl. Suddenly Siobhan poked her head out to look between him and me.

“Line joke?”

Andre cocked a brow at me. “You are staring. Are you making your order or what? There’s a light forming.”

I shook myself mentally. “Cola was what I meant to say. Cola.”

“Hey,” Siobhan said to Andre as she slipped away from his hold. Her eyes were now glued to someone dancing on the dancefloor. “Can I see you guys later? I see a potential dance partner.”

Andre’s friend handed me my drink. I watched as Siobhan danced her way toward the unsuspecting guy who now caught her eyes. She danced in front of him and gained his attention.

“She’s pretty,” Andre observed. “And bold.”

“Yeah, she’s all of that.” I must have sounded wistful because the next thing I knew I looked and he was watching me. Is it possible that he’s even more handsome than the last time? “Why are you staring? What are you in love with me?” I joked pretending to be nonchalant even though once again a guy was looking at me.

But then he opened his mouth and spoiled everything. “Look, Bianca, right? Does your friend have a boyfriend?”

My heart sank to the pit of my belly. I looked over at Siobhan who was now practically rubbing herself all over the other guy. At that moment it seemed so unfair that she had it all and all I got were crumbs.

“No,” I responded.

Andre made a victory gesture. “Let’s make a deal. She doesn’t know about the bikini incident yeah? If you get her to date me I’ll keep shut about it.”

I frowned. Okay, this guy has a lot of balls on him and it’s annoying.

“Excuse you? What your boobies lines didn’t work on her?”

“Are you jealous?" He leaned close with a smirk - well in my opinion it looked stupid -ly hot. "Don't worry sweetheart that line is specifically for you. Also, they might not work, she’s different from the usual.”

The insult just keeps getting worse. Different from the usual? So I was the ‘usual’ and Siobhan was what? Classy? Worth the effort and chase?

I slammed my coke glass on the counter. “No! I’m not going to get my best friend to date you because you are rude and disrespectful. And you know what? You won’t even get to see us after today because once this week is over it is bye bye Mr. Rude and Annoying!”

Without waiting for a word from him I stormed the dance floor, caught Siobhan by the hand pulled her away. She protested but once I lied to her that her dad had called she came willingly and even hailed a taxi.

“I wish I could have said goodbye to Andre though,” she said.

Don’t worry, I thought, I already said enough for two.

    “Who are you chatting with?” Siobhan turned her phone over to hide the screen. She looked up and smiled guiltily. “No one.” We were packing our things to return home for school. It was the last day of the summer vacation after all and school resumes in 3 days. Siobhan’s mom had called our room that the driver was on his way to take all four of us to the airport. After the dinner disappointment the other night both Mr. and Mrs. Hayes had made it up to us by getting a contractor to work on a new swimming pool in their house back at Hudson. For as long as I can Siobhan has wanted her own swimming, who knew all she needed to get it was her parents disappointing her for dinner? Turns out the business meeting her dad had skipped dinner for was successful, hence the promise of a swimming pool. I look forward to taking dips in it though. Siobhan had begged me to promise not to tell her parents about the club even though we barely spent ten minutes in there. I hadn’t even taken a sip of my c

    As soon as the plane landed at the airport Mr. Hayes called a taxi for me to go home even though Siobhan protested that I should go home with them. We actually share a room in her parents' house. It had been an oversized princess-styled bedroom before until she got her parents to renovate half of the room for me. So now instead of just pink walls, pink wardrobes, pink closets, and everything, one half of the room was done in pink, that was her side of the room while the other side was purple, that’s my side. I had my own bed in her room, my closet, and everything. Even the bathroom now had half of it done in pink and the other purple. It’s an understatement to say that Siobhan’s parents' house is a home away from home for me. Although in my parents' humble home, we couldn't do all those restructuring and renovations since we are not so rich so when Siobhan comes around we enjoy sleeping on the floor while pretending to be camping in a forest.“Siobhan honey,” her mom said gently. “I’m

    In the next days – actually just Friday and Saturday, Siobhan and I did our resumption shopping, sponsored by her parents of course. We actually didn’t need much but Siobhan will take advantage of any opportunity to buy new stuff. We spent the resumption night in my house in our pretend camp on the floor binging on chocolate and watching summer romance movies and yes she spent more time talking about Andre than she did watching the movies. Everything I know about Andre, I know against my will.I can honestly do without knowing a person like him exists because with the stories Siobhan tells me I can’t help but worry. But I guess I should be happy that he hasn’t sent dick pictures to her yet. If he does and she shows it to me like she usually does, I’ll probably puke.Dad came up the stairs to check on us – dad adores Siobhan. I’m his princess and yes she’s his boss’s daughter but of all my friends he loves Siobhan the most.“Is it safe to come in?” he asked.“Yes, dad,” Siobhan yelled.

    The next morning I stood in front of my mirror adjusting my necktie. The plaid skirt stopped mid-thigh with my thick pantyhose covering what skin the skirt couldn’t. My white shirt was tucked into my skirt. Once I was done with my necktie I pick my blazer and wore it, attaching my Head girl badge on the left side. Time to go out there and lead. I met Siobhan just coming out of her apartment with one of our classmates, AdeShewa – Shewa for short. She smiled and waved at me. “Morning!” They both came over so we could walk together. Shewa playfully flicked at the badge. “I always thought Jessica was going to give me this,” she laughed. “I thought so too, I thought you guys were friends. And Annabel Reed did nominate you for Head girl didn’t she?” Siobhan asked. “Yeah. I did play a vital role in getting Christian and Jessica together and she betrayed me like this.” Shewa shrugged. She was always smiling, displaying her deep dimples so I knew she was joking. “But we will all agree tha

    “Everyone let’s welcome to our midst, Andre and Carla Rios.” A surprise wave went through the hall as every student’s eyes, including mine, swept across the hall to the door on the right wing which was thrown open to reveal the face I thought I was never going to see again. Handsome as ever, Andre Rios, tall and sexy in the Edwin and Co. uniform – it’s a crime to look that good in a uniform – walked through. Behind him was a lookalike who was slightly shorter. It was a girl with dark brows and dark hair identical to his. It was plain to see they were twins so there was no mistaking that they were the ones Mr. Jorge was talking about yet I wanted it to be some kind of mistake.As they walked up the podium to join us a lone clap suddenly started. I looked up and saw a beaming Siobhan happily clapping, her eyes glued on Andre. Andre, who was smirking smugly. With each step he took I found myself wishing I was dreaming because only in a fairytale story would this be happening. Why is he h

    For the rest of the day I managed to avoid Andre like a plague – he is a plague alright! A plague out to break my best friend’s heart!I was still in the process of processing his sudden appearance and Mr. Jorge wants ME to be his student guide! No thanks. I gladly let Aaron do the honors of showing him around school. I bet he had a bloody good time getting to see the many girls to fling with while pretending to date Siobhan on the side. I wonder if those girls I saw staring at him in the hall know he has a girlfriend.Since it was officially the first day of school avoiding him was very much easy. Here in Edwin and Co., the first day of resumption isn’t that big of a deal since the teachers still have to put their notes for the term together. So since I had no classes for the day I spent my time in the library and the press room where I made plans with Shewa, the president of the School Press. Apparently, she was considering submitting a request to the School Board to begin an Edwin

    “What are you doing?!”The strap of my nightgown snapped from its clasp. If I hadn’t hugged my chest fast enough the corner would have dropped down to expose me. I glared at him as I struggled to reattach the clasp. He moved closer, finally stepping through the threshold, and reached for the strap.“Get your hands away from me,” I fought him off. “What the hell were you thinking when you did that?”“Relax and let me fix that for you.”“Can you just stop with the strap joke already? It’s as icky as saying ‘ Are you lost baby girl’ for God’s sake…”He wouldn’t let me finish before he slapped my hand off to fix the strap. I fought him but eventually, he held my hand down and fixed it with just one hand. He was so close, his warmth felt so good radiating off his body to mine, and his hair smelled like beach and summer. It felt so good. But he was taking too long getting his hands off me, he kept adjusting it until I almost blew my top.“I see you fix straps for a living,” I acknowledged c

    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
