staying hidden{z.m<n.w}

chapter1: The beginning

Aaaahhhh, I cupped my ears hoping that the voices would stop, but they didn't. The problem is not about the voices, it is that I just can't see their lips moving. Familiar faces zoom in and out of the corridor and I can hear all of their voices at a time. The most annoying part is that they are not actually talking. WAIT ......am I hearing their thoughts???

Look at her...... She's always.......C'mon..... .....these words were gushing into my ears...

I ran out to the place where all the parents were waiting. It was easy for me to find mine because my chauffeur had a blue hat fixed on his head.

**

I went home and saw the same smiling face that I've been seeing for the past 10 years, I guess. "Lola", I said and gave a hug, which was our usual routine. Well, she had this fake smile this time, which bothered me, so I took a quick glance through her thoughts. I am still figuring out how to do it, but when I concentrate on them their thoughts start to fill in my head.

 

I can't believe it's time for us to leave and she never told me about it...

Wait.Did I hear her correctly?? NO, it can't be. No, no no...Who's leaving? Where?Maybe, it's from the soap operas she watches.

Did I mention that it has been a week since I started hearing others thoughts? Day by day, it's become easy for me. Actually speaking, by looking at the brighter side of it, it has been fun, quite irritating though but then too, it has been FUN.

Suddenly I was interrupted from my thoughts when Lola's voice broke in.

"Guess who's come to visit??", I need not guess anything.

She is the only person who visits me, though it is once or twice in a year. "Ria..na....", I gave a disgusting face by uttering that name. Lola giggled and pushed me by my shoulders directing me towards the stairs,"Go clean up and come fast, Ok??". I gave her a nod in response. I took a few steps, but stopped and looked at the thin figure walking away.

Well, to describe Lola exactly, she is thin, blonde and she has a smiling face. She smells really good and she reminds everyone of home. Practically, she is my maid, but more like my guardian.

She looks after me like I'm her daughter. Most of my other maids tell that she gave up her life just to take care of me.

This lady named Riana, my so-called-mom, left me with Lola when I was 2, my dad died when I was months old, so I guess she found another man and moved in with him.

I pushed the pink door, revealing my room, which I hated by the way. Went to the bathroom, pulled the stepper so I can see myself in the mirror .

I washed my face and pulled my hair into a pony, that's when I heard someone entering my room. I peeked out and saw Ria looking at me, surprised.

"OH my-my , look at you brookie, all grown up , huh! " , Ria said with a big grin . I let out a fake smile coz' I saw Lola behind her. I hate it when she calls me like that.

"Ok , I don't wanna , make this any late , your dad had written in his will that-" , Blah blah , she went on and on. What I understood from whatever she was explaining , is that my dad had written some kind of a will that , I'm supposed to go live in his ancestral house when I become 11 and that Lola and Leo should always be with me . Leo is my another care taker . So my so-called-mom wants me to go to that place after a day or two.

"Bid your friends goodbye , because you won't be going to school after that , and Leo will be taking home tuition for you" . " I don't have any friends ", I replied hastily .

" Why is that , she can't go to school?" Lola asked."Hon , this place is in some kind of nowhere, that's what I knew when I surfed , so you see it takes more like 3 hrs if you wanna go to school, which is in the city ." Lola let out a sigh .

**

I twitched when she pulled the car into a hault , in front of a huge gate . I saw Leo pushing it open from inside . When did he reach??

She drove the car into the driveway and in front of my eyes laid a huge castle like house . "Holy mother .....Alex.. you never brought me here!!", she muttered with a great surprise , just like me. " You never came here before?" , "No " , she replied.

Lola took all the luggage from the trunk with the help of Leo . When I craned my neck to release my numbness , I saw a boy like a figure peeking out from one of the many windows that are facing the front of this house. I turned to look at Ria .

"OMG , finally I'm leaving her forever, need not do that stupid visits ".

But she was actually smiling at me thinking this. I gave her a hug , this time it was true . "Ria . Bye. I know that we won't meet again. So, I just want you to know , I hate it when you call me "brookie" and I like it when my name is being called as "Nevah". And don't worry I am not very fond of your stupid visits either."

I turned my head , swinging my ponytail , by giving a dramatic wave.

The day before when I said Lola about me hearing others thoughts , she gave me a confused look and then she conducted a questionaire . She did not say much , just said that I'm a very special kid.

**

When I stepped into this house , it gives me a cold spine , I guess I forgot to mention that this place was creepy. Very creepy and I swear when I came in , I saw a boy .

Leo came smiling towards me and said,"Hey honey your gonna love it here and I want you to meet someone " .

"Someone, who??"

"Someone who's like you."

" Like me??"

"Come on.."

He leads me towards a room. I saw Lola already standing there , it was a big living room , with so many types of furniture. From behind Lola , I saw a boy just inches taller than me appearing, he looked kind of scared .

" Nev' meet -"

"Zayn..", the foreign name fell out of my mouth before Lola could tell it.
