You want me to be late for class."Aiden cleared his throat and said in a calm voice, "Nicole, I know we've not been on the same page for a long time now. I understand that you must be angry with me for yelling at you yesterday, you shouldn't be keeping late nights, you're only 10."Yes, Nicole was ten but she was more mature than her agemates.

Gosh, I can't believe dad brought me here to suffer." She commented and Brett looked at her."Aunt Lisa doesn't stay home that much so she doesn't have that time to do much."Nicole rolled her eyes and went to the sink.

She breathed out, watching her come closer. She'd thought that Clara was one tough girl who fought a million times after seeing lots of huge fighting men beside her, but she thought wrong, Clara was an opposite.A girl who had a silk skin, beautiful eyes and innocent looks.

She's really rude.Kathleen didn't wanna go round the bush but said in a very straight tone."Where's my daughter?."Clara smirked."Ooh. You've got some balls now. I didn't expect to see you.""You
