Bella's POV

We reached at our first class which is of history. The teacher hasn't arrived yet so we walked inside ignoring the whispers that students were making about us. I heard one of them saying "she's Romano's sister" and another one said "she's not that pretty, why was she with Zion" Oh lord what the heck she thinks.

"Isn't she too young for Zion" another girl commented. Jesus ! Their thinking is too cheap. I glared at both of them which made them silent as they saw a ghost. Good. There was an empty seat at the middle bench so, we three sat there. After 5 minutes the teacher entered the class.

"Good morning class, today we have three new students with us, so myself Sophia Williams, you all can call me Miss. Williams likes everyone, now you three stand up and introduce yourselves" she said to us. She is a woman with long, straight hair and glasses, giving her a sophisticated and professional appearance. She is wearing a sleeveless black blouse and a fitted gray skirt. Her expression is poised and confident.

"Hey everyone, myself Ron and I'm 17 years old. I'm really excited to be joining this class and looking forward to knowing you all" Ron introduced himself in his usual enthusiastic and flirtatious tone.

"Jasmine, 16" she said shortly. Actually she hates socializing and meeting new people.

"Bella Bla-, uh Bella Romano, this side and I'm 16 years old". I was about to say Bella Blackwell my so-called stepfather's surname.

Well it feels strange like how can only one night changed everything. More than that my whole life was like, my whole identity was fake. My mother only told me that her husband, my father, gave her divorce. For what reasons? Don't know. She never told me the whole thing. Whenever, I ask her anything about this topic, she always shuts me, she never told me about my brother's. But why? There are so many questions, so many untold stories but the answer to them is none. All of them are lost and gone with my mother. I felt a comforting hand over my palm and saw it is Jaz who was drawing circles on my palm and said

"Calm down it's fine, everything is fine." I didn't realize when I started breathing heavily. Her comforting hand and words did magic and it really helped me in calming my nerves.

"I don't know what would I do without you" I said to her and I mean every single word. She means a lot to me, always taking care of me, always prioritised me over anyone.

"I'm still here, don't worry too much" she said to me and gently patted my back.

With that period over periods went away. Now, it is the time of recess. Well classes were fun. I learned many new things and it wasn't boring because of Ron and Jaz and I made a new friend also. Her name is Amelia.

"Guys let's go to cafeteria, this side" Amelia said. We went there and sat at the last seat away from the crowd.

"So, are you really a Romano?" Amelia asked me. She has long, slightly wavy brown hair styled in a casual, tousled manner, with strands framing her face. She is wearing a black tank top with thin straps and a gold necklace adorned with small floral charms. She also has gold earrings on. She has a calm and confident expression.

"What do you mean?"

"Uh.. I mean are you really THE ROMANO BROTHER'S sister? I had never seen you before nor heard about you, like you appeared out of nowhere" she said looking a bit hesitant.
