"ALWAYS THE GLASS BALLERINA NEVER THE PLAYER"
A story about Hailey hawthorne, the fifth hawthorn grandchild. always left out by her brothers she became the favorite for the old man.. and while he never showed it in front of his other grandsons. Tobi...
It's morning, I wake up feeling miserable like I do very time, I go the gym befire grabbing myself a smoothie.. I take a shower and go through hair and makeup. I walks past the game room where i see me and my grandfather's old chess board lying thier. "What's up?" Avery asked startling me "Nothing I'm just.. *shigh* I used to play chess with my grandfather here.. I miss it" I shrug "I could play you a game, I like to think I'm a heck of a player" she says.. Next thing I know we're playing chess. "You didn't have to do this" I say "Well your the only person here who seems like a friend" she shrugs.. only if the poor girl knew, I'm her nightmare. "Check" she calls out smiling, I move my rook "checkmate" I say getting up to leave "Wow your good" She says "I'm a hawthrone, the youngest one the most observant one the boys might have not told you but, I'm better than them in every aspect of everything.. they just don't know it because they act like I don't exist" I smile as Avery freezes.. "Let's go to school" I say putting my arm around her shoulder. Avery sits in the middle me and Jameson besides her. "Morning heiress" he greets.. "So have you been thinking" he asks Avery nods.. I scoffed on my phone "it's books" Avery says my eyebrows almost shoot up in suprise.. *clever girl* "Well there like five libraries In the hawthrone house so??" Jameson says "Serach them all" avaver says "but after school" she adds.
So they are quicker than I thought. That's good for them I'll give them a week or so to find the wirte book.. Jamie will search endlessly I'm not sure about the rest. But they will play along eventully they always do.
In school I know what I have to do, I manage to plot the perfect thing to plant in averys ears.. by the time its third period I have crafted the perfect note which I pass onto to Thea
"did you know? The new heiress is getting involved with jameson"
The note read.. By the time lich happend I saw Thea talking to Avery, I smiled... pulling out my little notebook
Scaring Avery, indirectly through Thea, *check* Now I just have to wait till after to school.. to plant in the final pieces. I quickly head to the administrative office I'm wearing a mask shades a hoddie and a cap.. my foundation is two two shades to dark.. and I have stuffed my mask with toilet paper to make my face look deformed.. I couldn't recognize myself let alone someone else.. as I snuck on to the principles office.. avoiding eye contact with the cameras.. befire sliding a note in the first desk.. about all the school room Jamie has broken.. this ought to give him atleast four hours of after school detention.. so that I can whisper in averys ear.. throw her off the game.. manipulate her make her my little puppet.. I crawl on back into my classes making sure to hide all traces of my disguise I know Jameson will have the cameras checked.. so I use the hallways with the broken cameras *aka the ones he dystroyed*
After school Avery gets in the suv. "Jameson?" I asked "He has three and half hours of after school detention someone switched on him" she says "Well, how about we stay occupied then" i say chuckling "well I'll take you up on rematch, we could catch up over a gem of chess" she says, she thinks she has the upper hand Here, asking me to play chess and catch up so she can ask about Emily.. *fell right into my trap heiress* I smile "I would love that" i say we both freshen up after school.. before meeting in the game room We start to play chess.. "so how was your second day?" I ask "good I made a friend, thea" she says "oh yeah I know her" I say playing my move "yeah she know alot about your family...she was even talking about this girl, someone. From yhe laughlins" *got her* I think as my eyes shoot up i act all shocked "What did she say" I ask "nothing just, never loose your heart to a hawthrone or else I'll end up like the last girl" avery says.. I shigh "the girl didn't looses her heart, I mean atleast not litrally.. my brothers were the one who did that.." I say "brothers pural," she asks "check" she calls out I defend myself.. "but its true.. the Laughlin girl got involved with my brother and died." I say "Check" i say to Avery.. I see Avery still the fear so visible in her eyes. "She's terrified" She shakes "what" she whsiper yelled "Play" I tell her annoyed she's shaking before she plays her knight.. *silly mistake* "Checkmate" i say as I move my king I get up to leve before behind down to meet averys eye. "Avery, if you want to survive here you need to live by three rules. You do whatever it takes to win. You never back down from a challenge, a game, or a made up law. And you never, ever, under any circumstances bring up the dead Laughlin.. " say walking away.. smiling to myself..
A few hours go by and I'm solving my algebra homework...well I finshed it and hour ago, bit I'm spying.. "did you find out who snitched on you" Avery and Jameson walk in mid conversation "no some ass, all coverd up handed a note..couldn't even tell the gender through the cameras.. whoever it was, they were smart too, used the exact hallways with the working cameras" he explained.. I grinned but hid it.. "Hi Hailey" Cery said I waved at her with a awkward smile.. "where do you come from" Jameson asked "I've been sitting here the whole time" I say Confused "well not like your presence matters but anyway.. did the old man leave you anything? A clue, a game, a puzzle" he aks I shke my head no "well ill call you when I get to end of my game" he says and I raise my eyebrows annoyed. "What?" Avery asked confused "Ohr grandfather always used our baby sister as a clue a tool in the game, she didn't know it herslef somtimes.. but every game every puzzle she was a key to somthing, I bet she fits in here somewhere" he Said. "That's right I'm never a player" I shrug.. Avery and Jameson move on looking through the books.. "wrre best off starting here because this is the main library the other ones are just little rooms repouurpsed" Jameson says as him and Avery start searching.. fir a few mintues Avery keeps glancing at me.. after we hole I become invisible again.. her and Jameson bothe forget I'm there *my proof of this is Jameson started flirting with her and she flirted back.* finally Avery mustered up the courage to ask Jameson about Emily "Jameson, thea told there was a girl, who died" she asked sheepishly "her name was emily" Jameson said I could see his expression change it always did.. everyone's expression changed when it came to *emily* because she was important.. *not me* not the glass ballerina *never me* _____________________________________________
