I roll up my sleeves and tie my hair in a bun.

As I look around the living room, I realise it will be a long day.

The room was a mess, with boxes lying everywhere.

Ann and I moved into the penthouse this morning.

It was just like how it had been the last time Ann and I were here. The loveliest thing was that the penthouse was already equipped with all the necessary furnishings. However, it was lacking in decor, so Ann and I spent the entire morning shopping, resulting in the boxes in the living room.

The penthouse had two entrances, one of which was through an elevator that took you straight to the penthouse. The main entrance, with its white double doors, was the other choice. The only people who had access to the elevator were Ann and me.

The penthouse radiated grandeur.

The main door and elevator lead to a huge and magnificent living area. The living area housed two white sofas, a black wooden table in t

    JoA loud ringing jolted me awake. The living room appeared to be in a state of disarray. The sofa cushions were scattered across the floor, and popcorn had spilt everywhere. The television was still on, and the movie we'd been watching the night before had been paused.Ann is curled up in her blanket at the other end of the sofa.I reached out for my phone, which was still ringing.When I looked at the time, all of my drowsiness vanished.We were late for school!"Ann! Ann! Wake up! " I shook Ann violently.She sleeps like a corpse, I swear to God."ANNABETH!" I yelled at the top of my lungs."Oh my gosh! What? " Ann hollered."Wake up! We're running late for school!" I mentioned."What?" Ann, who was still half asleep, inquired."Take a look at the time, moron!" I told her."Crap!" cried Ann."Exactly!" I exclaimed.We both used our super-speed to tidy up our mess in the living room before rushing off to school.Luckily, we arrived on time.Surprisingly Aiden was nowhere to be fo

    JoI was still soaking in the water. I also damaged Ann's car seat, but she didn't seem to mind.Ann ushered me inside the penthouse as soon as we arrived."How is your ankle?" Ann inquired, her brow pinched with concern.I reassure Ann, rotating my ankle to show my point, "Yeah, the speed healing set in as soon as we sat in the car.""All right, stand still. I'm going to dry you out, "Ann proclaims.I nodded and complied.Ann closed her eyes and raised her hand towards me. Both her little and ring fingers were crooked.I could feel the water slowly evaporate. My wet clothes and body began to dry.Within a few minutes, my entire body was dry, and the heat Ann was generating began to sting.“Ouch, it hurts,” I say, wincing."I'm sorry, I'm still mastering these powers," Ann replies, pouting.“It’s okay,” I say and slump on the bed with a sigh.Ann comes and sits beside me. “Want to talk about what happened?” Ann asks.“Aiden and I fought,” I took a deep breath before continuing. “Ann,

    JoI just have one question. What the heck happened to Annabeth?She couldn't have picked a worse moment to vanish than right now!Not only do I have to worry about resisting Aiden, but it will be impossible now that I have to tutor him. To top it all off, I need to study for my exams in order to get into a reputable institution.Great! just great.I am utterly confused. My heart, without a doubt, longs for Aiden, but my obstinate head refuses to give in and fuel his ego.I won't lie; Aiden King is the most spoiled, egotistic, and annoying brat I have ever encountered, yet why does my heart race every time we are near one other?Why does my body react to his touches? Why does being in his hands make me feel at home?They say that the mate bond grows stronger with time.Despite the fact that it's only been a short while since the party, perhaps the feelings existed long before we even realised we were mates.Or maybe I’m falling for him.Presumably, in all of this, challenges and plots

After a few seconds, he turns back to Mr Jones and gives a nod of completion as he turns to leave.Ann leans forward and whispers, “Damn, he is hot,”And I couldn't agree more. He is indeed attractive, but as the saying goes, don't judge a book by its cover.The males sitting close to the girls didn't miss that comment. Their noses wrinkle slightly in rage and envy. Their eyes were razor keen, taking in every detail of the boy approaching them.“Hm, I don’t see it,” Liam mentions, his eyes hard and cold.Ann rolled her eyes at the prominent jealousy radiating from her mate.“I mean, look at those abs!” I exclaimed in awe.Scoffing, Aiden, with his breath tickling my ears, comes in close and murmurs, "I have better, fireball."Shivers run down my body as I turn to

    JoThe pleasant fragrance of food that permeated the air caused me to wake up as my stomach began to growl. Due to sleepiness, my eyes were still hazy. I stood up, feeling my body tense.I turned on the lights. The unexpected brightness struck me square in the eyes. It took me a while to adjust to the light, so I had to strain my eyes to read the time. I blew my entire evening away at 10:03.I hurriedly changed out of my now-wrinkled school clothes and put them in the laundry basket.I walked out to the dining area, where I found Ann serving herself some pasta carbonara."Welcome, sleepyhead," Ann remarked.I sat at the table as a yawn escaped my mouth."Well, I arrived late from Liam's, so... last-minute pasta carbonara!" Ann grinned and pointed at the dish.“Hm, it smells so good,” I moaned and served myself some.“So, what are your weekend plans?” I asked.Ann’s face flushed. “Um… Liam and I are going on our first date,” the blush on her face reached all the way down to her neck.“

I quickly pulled into the parking spot and raced through the double glass door. I swiftly put my key card in the slot at the door for the security check."Hey, Josette, how are you doing?" Mr Larry, the receptionist, greeted me cheerfully.Mr Larry was about sixty years old. As far as I know, he has worked here for thirty years. He is a friendly, warm-hearted mortal.I made an effort to smile, but all I wanted was to be at home, safe and secure.I said with a shaky voice, "I'm good.”I clutched myself, hoping to get rid of the shivering. Though, my efforts went in vain as the feeling clung to me with a relentless grasp.“Honey, are you alright?” his eyebrows furrowed with worry, “You’re looking a little pale there.”"No, I'm great," I stiffened. “You know, it's just the weather.”

Finally, with all my strength, I performed a twist strike that split his stick in half.“This is the third stick you have broken in the past hour, Aiden,” Liam stated, huffing as he threw the broken pieces away.“Want to talk it out?” he asked.I picked up another stick from the rack and rotated it in my hands before gripping it tightly, “Sure.”I pounced at him after I responded. He backflipped, somersaulted, and grabbed a fallen stick off the ground to avoid the blow."Sure, you want it this way.

    JoThe weekend is coming to a close, and instead of getting ready for my first day of work tomorrow, I am lounging here watching TV with a popcorn bowl in hand.‘Procrastination is the thief of time,’ they say.Even though I am entirely aware of that expression, I just studied all night, so I deserve a break.As I flipped through the channels on the TV, I felt the couch dip on my side, and suddenly the remote got snatched from my hand.“Hey!” I complained, but Luke ignored me.Though being back home was fantastic, sibling quarrels were just unavoidable.“I was watching something! Give it back!” I argued.Luke just coolly shrugged and started flipping through the channels. I wasn’t about to go down so readily, so I retaliated and went to grab the remote.And that’s how my brother-dearest and I ended up in a fight over the remote. I was as relentless as Luke was obstinate. The struggle was a fruitful one; it reminded me of my childhood.Eventually, Elena came to my rescue and scolded L
