" Violet? How can you leave your sister alone in the first place? Even you know that she won't be able to fit in, that's why you're trying to make her suffer right? God, she's a new girl, at least try to make her comfortable!" Edward yells at me. I stare back at him stunned. What? What in the world did I even do? Now that I look at him, I wonder how I fell in love with such a annoying guy? Heavens. You entered the class right now. How can you just say whatever you want? I open my mouth to shot back at him. But,

Just then another familiar, sweet voice comes across me. " Edward, Mary is a new girl here. Everyone knows that. Of course, if she wants to make friends she needs to make them herself. I don't get why does Violet has to do something like that for her." Eugene enters the class.

Eugene Ronald, only son of Duke Ronald, bloodly related to Prince Edward and my best friend. God. Tears fill my eyes. If I  can, I'd very much like to hug him right now. He is the only guy who dares to speak against Edward. And the only guy who can silence him.

" Really, Prince, even I don't understand why are you blaming me for such a treval matter. I know I am her sister but do you really expect me to be that kind to her? Waking up every morning and knowing that I have a step sister the same age as me is killing me already. Now you want me to be friends with her?" I spit out atomic bombs like they were nothing. Everyone looks quite shocked. Eugene looks quite taken a back with my barking....but god, I'm not done. I am seriously, definitely not done.

" I am trying my best not to balme her because I know none of this is her fault...but you know, it's not easy." Everything flashes back in my eyes and tears start filling my eyes as I walk through every single memory that stabs me right at my heart. " Heavens. Seriously, it's not like I'm a goddess. I may not blame her but that doesn't mean I can make myself to like her just because none of this is her fault. Even, I'm a human, you know. Just like it's hard for her, it's hard for me too." I irritatedly look down at Edward. I try my best not to cry but with every memory my heart ached more. I clutch my chest and lower head so that no one sees me.

Other than people breathing no one said a word. Everyone was stunned. Mary's eyes start filling with tears. God, now why is she crying? And just when the memories started to hurt more, a kind, familiar, comforting body of someone I knew embraced me. Eugene. The hug felt so utterly good that I hanged on to it, sobbing softly.

" Violet." Eugene calls me softly. I look up at him. There was genuine pain in his face. Pain......for me?

" Let's go outside. You'll feel much better." He holds my hand and we rush out, away from the stunned crowed. We sit down on a bench near the school fountain and without a single word, he lends me his shoulder. I cry my heart out that day. I clutch on to him as if never letting it go and he silently comforts me.
