Anabelle Afio...I never wanted this life, all I wanted was to live my life how I wanted. Guess what we are not always lucky but I learned it that hard way.
Leonardo Ambrogio...She thinks she is above me, looking at me like I am dirt on her high heel...
Day by day, things got awkward, I wanted to run away from this place. I planned to move far away as soon as I get my degree. I became the shy introvert girl who was always looking for corners when met with strangers. Dad was getting frustrated with me. Lisa took responsibility for teaching me etiquette, on how to be a lady of the house, I wondered if she was making me how to be a submissive wife. She will always shadow me on dad's official gatherings and leave when she'll think I am with the right kind of people, who usually were senior citizens. I did not mind but sometimes I wondered if she did it on purpose because there were always young generations present at those gatherings too. It was in one of those kinds of gathering that I met Rosaline Ambrogio, she was this cute dark-haired girl with huge eyes. It was a homecoming party for Mr. Ambrogio's son Leonardo. Lisa said something in between lines of "If your mother could have taught you this before dying," that is when with a red face I made my way inside the house and was looking for a room to gather myself up, I went into a room quickly so no one could see tears that were about to fall from my eyes and mess my makeup. I was sulking in my own world when I heard his voice.

"Are you my homecoming present?" Wha..what?! I said in a startled voice. I looked up and saw this tall and attractive guy in just his pants, he was really that handsome just like those model kind of guys. I could not form a sentence. He repeated again, "Are you my present? That is when his sentence made sense to me. This guy's nerve?! what the hell! What makes him think that, Oh my God, am I dressed like those girls! My mind refused to answer him, instead of this I held my chin up and said: " get some manners." He laughed and said "what do you expect from me, dressed like that, he gave me a heated stare and said, "Hey I don't mind as long as we keep it a secret," he added this with a smirk. I stood up from the sofa and made my way to the door saying," I will rather puke than think about you." I opened the door that is when I was pushed against it and turned around, I was scared he was that close. I could see black in his eyes. He lowered his face and I squealed like a mouse, "Please don't." I turned my face to a side and closed my eyes like that would make me vanish from this situation. He spoke in my ear, "You see babydoll, you don't walk around degrading people, judging from your body language, it looks like you've never been tasted." I gave him horrified looks," I did not start it, now please move I want to go outside." I was getting nervous, he was looking at me like he was trying to memorize me. I badly wanted to weep, this guy was giving me chills. "Please move." I said in a timid voice. My breath got hitched when he took a deep breath and smelt my hair and neck. What is your name? he asked. Jennifer, I replied too quickly. He looked suspicious, "Okay Jennifer, I will let you go this time." He winked and removed himself from the door. I quickly moved out of the room looking at the door in case he was following me, that is when I was stopped on stairways by a hand. I screamed and looked at my side, it was a girl. "Hey, I am Rosaline Ambrogio, I saw you getting out of Leo's room and you are? "I...I never went on purpose." "Hey calm down, I never said that. I can see from your looks whoever you met there did not make a good impression on you." She said in a gentle voice. I felt relieved that someone believed me. "Yes that, well there was this guy, who mistook me for someone else". "It is okay, just forget it, come with me. I think you need a glass of energy drink." She smiled and took my arm in direction of the kitchen. "More like a jug of energy," I said. She laughed. "I can see you have dry humor like me, we can be friends, that is if you want to, you know I don't mingle with crowed easily. She said in a nervous tone. So? she asked expectedly. Umm so?! I said awkwardly. "so what is your name"? "O..um I am Annabelle," I said recovering Before I could reply further, Carolina came giving both of us a head to toe look. "Oh look, you both look like twins." She laughed at her own joke. "Caro! Like really? Was this to make us laugh?"Rosaline said in a bored tone. "Oh sweetie, learn to have some fun. Now tell me has Leo arrived yet." She asked excitedly. "I don't know I am not his secretary," Rosaline answered in a bitchy tone that made me smile. Unfortunately for me, Carolina saw it and said: "wait till we get home." With that, she went out of the kitchen. I embarrassingly looked at Rosaline, "Oh hey we still have not exchanged contact number, come on give me your phone." she changed the topic.
