The New Girl

Chapter 38: Revelation

Selene lips opened and close without a word coming out. Liam sudden behavior and sharp word made her freeze.

"What? You don't want me to?" He asked moving his face closer, her breath halt, and her heart pounding hard against her chest. He brushed his lips on hers and then pull away. "I guess not" he whispered huskily and turn to leave.

Selene stayed frozen for an unmeasurable amount of time. Jennifer appeared at the corner too, snapping her out of her trance. Seeing the look on Jennifer, she frowned and watch her crouch on the floor.

"Jennie" She called, Jennifer look up to her. "You look paled. Are you okay?"

"I.. I.. I'm fine, I just need fresh air" Jennifer replied, trying to compose herself. She had just seen Annabelle and Ethan walk pass her.

If Annabelle is still alive, could it be that Voldemort didn't find her or she killed him already. Who is Annabelle.. really?

"You've been acting strange these days, just know I'll be here if you need someone to talk to" Selene said and Jennifer nodded.

"Let's go to class"

Ethan walked into an empty class with Annabelle with the door shutting behind him.

"Sit" He demanded and she obeyed subserviently. He stood before her, and stared deep at the girl who kept her head low.

"I wanna hear the truth from you right now, who were those men?" He asked.

"My enemies" Annabelle replied looking up at him. Maybe it's better if she let him know everything.

"Enemies?" Ethan frowned. "So what did you do to them?"

"I.." she stopped and battled within herself because speaking again. "I killed them" she watched Ethan face replace with shock.

Annabelle took a sharp intake of breath and began to explain. Her parents died when she was three and she was saved by a man who trained her to be strong. She had been sent to kill bad men according to his order.. same thing with Voldemort.

Ethan's expression didn't change as Annabelle finished explaining everything. A heavy silence hung in the air between them, and Annabelle started to worry.

"Ethan," she said softly, reaching out to touch his arm. But he flinched and pulled away from her.

"You're a...a mafia?" he asked, his voice thick with disbelief. Annabelle's heart pounded in her chest as she watched his face twist with confusion and doubt.

What would happen now that he knew the truth?

"I only kill bad people.."

"You don't get to decide who lives or dies. No one does," he finally managed to say. He ran a hand through his hair, frustration and anger warring with confusion and disbelief. He turned away from Annabelle, unable to look at her, unable to process what he had just learned.

"Ethan, please," she said softly from behind him.

He turned to face her again, his expression unreadable.

"It took me a whole lot of courage to say this.. so please don't act cold" her voice croaked.

"I...I don't know Annabelle. I don't know what to think.. this is too much for me to take in right now" Ethan said and turn to leave her right there.

Annabelle swallowed hard.. what is he going to do now?

(BASKETBALL COURT)

The coach didn't see Ethan again in the court so he flared up at Liam. "Where the hell is he now?!"

"I don't know coach" Liam quickly defend.

"See me after the match" The coach said.

Liam exhaled sharply. His settled on Bastian and saw him gave a guy a sealed small package. Bastian whispered to the guy and he nodded. They both gave Liam a glance, before the other guy left the court.

Bastian met with Liam and then avert as his turn to prepare for his practice.

Daniel spot Barbara sitting alone in the garden and went to sit beside her.

"What took you so long?" She asked.

"I was trying to cheer Annabelle up, she seems down today. I wonder what happened" He replied.

"Hm, how is she now?" She asked.

"She still won't say a word to me"

"Do you like her?"

Daniel blinked severally. "As a friend yeah, why are you asking?"

"You seem so close to her so I was just wondering" She shrugged.

"She is cool, but one could only see it once you are close to her"

"Do you mind if we can grab a snack or something, after school?" She asked.

"I was about to ask the same, so yes I'd love to"

"Cool, Come I need to show you some books I found in the library" Barbara said pulling him up. Daniel grab his bag and followed her.

Meanwhile, Patricia was busy hearing all of it. 'Why am I stalking them these days?' she asked herself. This is unlike her.

Sighing she turn to leave but met with Annabelle staring at her.

"Uhhh.. how may I help you?" She asked. Obviously surprised to see her here.

"I just need to ask you a few questions" Annabelle said. "I heard you've dated Ethan before"

"Yeah so?" Patricia asked folding her arms. "What do you want me to tell you fre...

"Don't call me freak.. I'm not in a good mood I have no idea on how brutal I can be right now" Annabelle warned. She continued. "Does Ethan have a cruel past? How was Ethan like before?".

Patricia swallowed.

Liam just finish having a discussion with the coach, he got out and spot Mrs Charlotte at the hallway. He rolled his eyes and made to walk pass her.

"It turned out your dick isn't that big. I found someone already" the shameless woman said.

"Then why are you telling me cus obviously.. I don't fucking care on how you act shameless around so fuck off" Liam said curtly and made to leave.

"Fine I miss you Liam!" Mrs Charlotte yelled and he stopped again. With a deep frown, Liam faced her.

"I swear to Gawd if you don't stop bothering me, I'll let the whole school know how shameless you are.. I'm sending you something right now" He said and pull out his phone to send something to Mrs Charlotte.

It was a video of her and one of the security having s*x. Her eyes widened, this is going to ruin her career.

Liam planted a device on her bag the last time they had s*x. To his dismay, this teacher is also sleeping with the security. How shameless!

"How did you.."

"It doesn't matter.. stay away from me" he warned and left her there standing in shock.
