Chapter 2

"Excellent Annabelle, i think that's enough for today it's already 8:00 pm" couch jake told me. But then I remembered something important. THE DINNER. Oh my god, I'm so dead. "Oh, shit shit shit shit I should hurry up father will kill me." I shouted while running back toward my house.
I opened the door silently, headed to my room, took a shower and changed into a pair of black skinny jeans and a baggy top with a pair of black vans. Then I pulled my long blonde hair into a pony tail after drying it.
I heard some noises and greetings downstairs, I didn't get down immediately on hope that father would forget about me, but my hopes went down when I heard a knock on my door, I opened it and there was Maria our maid standing in front of me. She smiled at me and said "Annabelle dear, your father is waiting for you downstairs, please don't be late." I sighed and said "Give me 5 minutes and I'll be there"
When I got downstairs five pairs of eyes landed on me and everyone was silent.
I looked awkwardly at the new strange faces and smiled weakly and said "hi" then settled down. Father coughed awkwardly and introduced me to the family.
"Ehhh... Mmm... This is my daughter Annabelle. Anna this is Cris an old friend of mine." The man -Cris- smiled at me and said "nice to meet you Annabelle"
I smiled at him and said "Nice to meet you, too".
Then father continued introducing me "And these are Karen And Michael" I smiled at the women and she smiled back and then I turned my gaze to the pink haired boy, he was smiling awkwardly and I returned the smile.
Dinner was extremely normal, father and Cris where talking about work, Emily and Karen were talking about dresses and accessories. Michael was typing on his phone and I was eating silently. Suddenly out of no where Michael said loud enough for everybody to hear. " that's weird, you don't look like your father nor your mother." He motioned his hands toward Emily and Johnny.
He has the right to be confused because Emily is a red head with black eyes and father is a brunette with brown eyes.
I looked at the curious boy and said "first, she's not my mother" I motioned toward Emily then continued. "Nor he is my father." I motioned to Johnny who was looking at me with sad eyes... Why is he sad? I thought to myself then continued "I'm adopted."
The room was silent for a good one minute or so. Michael was looking at me in surprise with an "o" expression on his face. The silence was annoying so I decided to excuse my self and go to my room, I think I ruined my father's night enough for now. I looked at father and said "Excuse me, I'm going to my room" then I looked to the Clifford's and said "it was nice meeting you, goodnight."
When I was about to go upstairs father talked "ummm.. Anna why don't you take Michael upstairs and show him your ... Stuff ...?" OhMyLord please tell me I heard that wrong. I turned and smiled sheepishly and said. "Sure, why not." Michael followed me upstairs. When we entered my room I sat on my bean chair and opened my phone not caring for what he's doing. He started shuffling around and looking through the bookshelf in the middle of my room. "So you like to read?" He asked me. " you don't say" I answered mockingly. He chuckled lightly and sat on the edge of my bed looking through my large window. "You have a nice view out there" he said while looking at the garden. "I know" I answered coldly. He sighed and got his phone out of his pocket and started texting again. After a few minutes I said. "Why would you ever dye your hair pink?" He smiled at the face I made and said "why, don't you like it?" "It's stupid" I answered. He pouted jokingly and said "Ouch, don't worry the next time I'll dye it green for you." With a wink. I looked at him in disbelief and said "yea, and you'll look like a broccoli" he laughed at that and I smiled proudly. Suddenly he sat closer to me. Closer than normal. My heart began to beat fast, and bad bad thoughts began crossing my mind, and because I promised father not to use violence again I couldn't do anything but shut my eyes closed tightly. I felt a hand on my cheek and he said "hey, what's wrong? Are you okay?" I pushed him with all my strength and told him angrily "Don't you ever dare touch me again, do you understand?" He was shocked by my sudden attitude and before he can say anything the door flew open and Maria announced that his parents where going and he should go downstairs. He thanked her and with a last look toward me he disappeared.
I shut my door violently and buried my face in my pillows and start screaming.

Michael's POV

I couldn't sleep, I was busy thinking about Annabelle. When I first saw her I was surprised, I don't know why but I expected to see something different, like an arrogant fake spoiled slut, like who wouldn't think that, her father is a millionaire. But when I saw her she was a natural beauty with no makeup or even a fancy dress she looked stunning. She was simple with black skinny pants and a hoodie. Something about her is pulling me to know more about her life, but who knows when I'll see her again or if I ever will.
When I came near her she was afraid of me I don't know why ... Like I would never do anything to hurt her. Fear was all over her face and for some reason she screwed her eyes shut. And when I touched her she literally freaked out ... That was weird, I don't know ...
Before I even know it my eyes were starting to get heavy and I drifted to sleep.
