All Chapters of Twists and Turns.: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Was it pain? She asked herself. No, it couldn’t be. She knew pain; she had felt it over and over again that it was like a sister to her more than her real sister ever was. Aurora had become accustomed to the pain and she had developed a certain numbness that made her feel like she had immunity to pain. So she was sure, it wasn’t pain. But whatever it was, it made her heart tingle. Maybe it was anger or maybe it was disappointment. It had to be a disappointment. After all these years, her father had no love for her. She always thought that he kept her in the house because deep down he had some fatherly feelings for her. Oh boy was she wrong? Feelings? What feelings could a man like her father even have for her? She couldn’t help but laugh. He didn’t even hesitate to throw out of the house once his favorite daughter and wife lied to her. Her eyes watered, but she couldn’t, she wouldn’t shed a tear. They weren’t worth her tears. She never cried after years of the bullying and taunts

Chapter 3. Illegitimate. When he came downstairs, he saw that food was on the table and the smell was really good. He didn't eat breakfast so he thought the cook prepared it for Rory. But it was too early. She probably wouldn't wake up until ten, so why did they prepare it this early? On the dining table were different kinds of foods people ate for breakfast: Bacon and scrambled eggs, toast, pancakes and honey, waffles and whipped cream, orange juice and milk. The spread was nice. So much for one person? It also smelled really good. Then he saw Rory bringing out a bowl of what he recognized to be Tofu Scramble. The table also had jugs of orange juice, milk, and coffee. *** Her eyes closed naturally. She knew she was going to be hit for what she did. She was always beaten when she spoke out or got herself into matters that her stepmom always said didn't concern her. However, after a few seconds passed, she noticed that the slap never landed. She opened her eyes, still h

Was this girl dumb or what? She was very amused. "You have to compensate me." The girl demanded. "Why should she compensate you? It was clearly an accident, Clara!" Kay glared at her and a lot of people agreed with her words. "Mind your business, Kay. It's between me and her!" She said with annoyance. Kay wanted to reply but Rory glanced at her telling her to be quiet. "How should I compensate you?" She said with a cryptic smile. The girl, who was Carla, smiled satisfactorily. "Wipe off the Mac and cheese from my clothes. Right now." "Okay!" Rory accepted. She went to a table, picked up the water from there, and walked back to Clara. By now everyone's attention was on Clara. Clara was the school bully and Rory was the new student, so everyone was curious about what would happen. Without saying a word, Rory opened the bottle of water and poured it on Clara's head. She emptied the entire bottle. "Ah! What did you just do?!" Clara screamed. "What you told me to". Rory replied

"Rory! Rory!!" Kay rushed into the class while yelling Rory's name. Rory raised her eyebrow calmly sipping juice from a small juice box. "You're so calm?! How can you be so calm,when the whole school thinks that you are a gold digger?!" Kay asked a little flustered and angry. How was she so calm?! Rory just glanced at her and didn't say anything. It took longer than she expected. She knew that the only person who could spread this kind of rumor is her sister,Sammy. This morning's incident must have annoyed her. She has seen been through a lot of heart ache and torture,so why would such words affect her. She wasn't that squeamish. She had lived with Sammy for a long time and she was well aware of the right buttons to press and calling her an illegitmate child did the trick. This was all part of the main plan. Everything would soon be clear soon. As Rory was unaffected,her classmates were not. They were all upset. "How could people think that?" One person said with anger in his voi

Rory came down stairs with a small blue box in her hands. "Rory where did you get the money to start schooling?" Mrs Devane asked her. "None of your business". Rory simply replied. "Rory!" Mrs Devane yelled at her. "How dare you?!" Rory laughed and said matter of factly,"You kicked me out of the house and told me I am no longer part of the family. So what I do with my life has nothing to do with you!" "Rory, mom is just looking out for you. Moreover isn't it strange that out of the blue you just start attending one of the most expensive schools in the town with no explanation. People are bound to spread rumors". Sammy said as if she was trying to help Rory out. Rory sneered at them. This mother and daughter pair are really something. "The daughter of a mistress can go to school freely with no criticism but I can't?" Rory asked calmly. Her words made the color on both the mother and daughter's face drain. Mrs Devane's face darkened. "Who are you calling a mistress?!" "You of
