Aana's POV
-"Hey Aana Samuel James."
As usual Andrew was the first one to greet me.
-"Hello Andrew Mikes and by the way I don't like it when someone calls me by my full name, so you can either call me Aana or just stop calling me."
I said while rolling my eyes at him.
-"Ok Aana Samuel James, I will call you Anna from today onwards because I can't stop calling you."
This boy really wanted to die from my hands .
It was his everyday's work to irritate me, sometimes I feel like it's his core mission of the day to irritate me . It has been only two months since he has joined the school but I have already got used to them because my life has became more better after they came.
Alex and Andrew, both of them are very weird type of creatures.
Andrew seems like a fun loving guy who is always in a good mood and very much careless but I think he's not like this, sometimes he becomes very much serious and Alex on the other hand, is normally very serious guy who doesn't likes people much and who hates long conversations.
-" Good morning Alex."
I greeted him loudly so that he can make some space for me on the bench.
He understood and quickly sat on the other end of the bench.
It was really very awkward to sit in between these two boys but till today they have never tried to flirt with me and always gave me my space when we sit together, and moreover at least they don't leave me alone on lunch breaks and even on holidays three of us sit together to complete our assignments.
The thing I like the most about them is that they always maintain some distance with me and treat me like their own sister. One day Andrew even told me that he will drop me home, we got late that night because we spent too much time at library.
Obviously I refused but I got a warm feeling when he said this.
I can't trust anyone so easily right?
*************************
-"Ok students let's end our class here.
And your summer vacation are starting from next week so as you people know that this year it's your class's turn to go for a school camping. Whoever wants to go can give me their names till tomorrow."
The moment Miss Lina left the class everyone was busy making groups and discussing about the camping except for me , Andrew and Alex. Andrew and i were busy teasing each other while Alex was busy with his phone.
-" Hey Aana! You are joining us right ?"
Suzy came with a register which was full of names of the children who are willing to go.
Andrew and Alex were staring at me as if their eyes are locked on me like magnets.
-"I don't know Suzy. Maybe not because I am not much interes..... "
Before i could complete what I was saying, Andrew interrupted me.
-"Yeah, three of us are definitely coming. How can we miss this."
He was giving an excited look to Suzy.
Something is definitely going between these two.
I was glaring at him now.
-"Yes. Both of you are free to go but I am not going to join."
I said while folding my arms.
-"aaaah... Look Aana, we are new to this school so we truly want to go for this camping and also Miss Lina has asked you to help us to adjust with the new things so you are definitely coming with us."
He said while rubbing the back of his head.
-"That was nearly before two month you jerk and by now I can clearly see how much you have adjusted. So i guess you don't want me to come right. And Suzy can help you."
-"Aww. Don't be like this Aan. Till today you haven't participated in any class activity."
Suzy tried to convince me.
But what she said was true, I haven't participated in any school activity. This time I think I need to go because this camping trip comes once in three years moreover these two jerks are also joining so I will have someone to accompany me.
-"Ok, i will think about it."
I said while waking up from my place amd going away from them.
-"So it's a yes right?"
She shouted out of excitement.
-"Think whatever you want to."
I said with a mixed expression.
*****************
Three of us were sitting near the river bank.
-"Hey Aana can I ask you a question?"
It looks like Andrew was really curious about something.
-"If I say no won't you ask?"
I said with a blank expression. Never till today I was curious for his question but today he looked a bit serious.
-"Answer only if you want to okay?"
Now I knew that he was about to ask something serious.
-"hmm. Go forward."
He was looking at Alex now like he's seeking for his permission to speak.
-"Why are you so cold towards Suzy. She looks like a sweet girl but you rarely talk with her even though she's nice towards you."
I was utterly dumbfounded by his question.
-"Nothing is like that Andrew."
I tried to say with a fake laughter.
-"Don't lie Aana. That's why I asked you to answer only if you want to."
His eyes were locked into mines now. I knew that he noticed my behavioral changes in front of both of them and others. I decided to tell him a short reason for this maybe a short true reason.
Its strange but I feel like these boys have got the power to safe me from Henry.
-"Ok so listen. She's the younger sister of my ex boyfriend. Her brother and I ended up terribly. That's why I don't like her."
I said while trying my best to not act stupid or not to take Henry's name in this.
-"Well...then what's the fault of her in this? ."
How can I tell him that Suzy is the sister of that monster. But she herself doesn't knows what her brother is doing to me.
-"I don't feel comfortable in front of her. That's it.
Are you done with your questions now."
I quickly tried to end it here so that he won't ask me some more questions related to this.
There was a strange silence everywhere. I decided to break the silence.
-"I am hungry, meet you guys in the class. Bye."
I tried my best to sound confident.
Never till today I had my lunch alone without them but today I had to do it to defend myself from them.
Andrew's POV
-"Bro it's her. I am sure now that it's her. "
Alex said while keeping his hand on my shoulder.
-"Yes Alex,it's her, i knew from the very starting that it's her. "
The girl whom I was trying to find from all these years was her.
Aana, my sister has grown a lot.
That day after that accident ,me and her were both left at an orphanage,luckily she got adopted but I was left.
After that day I tried so hard to find her but finally after 13 years I found her.
It was even more harder to find her name. Because of her new family she had a new surname.
Again after doing a lot of background check on Liam and Caroline James, the result was as expected- the murderers of Lucas and Maria Cabello.
After getting to know about the death of Lucas and Maria I knew that their son Henry won't stay still, he will definitely try to hurt Aana. I didn't knew that he had already found her.
After getting to know about her relationships with Henry, I changed my school along with Alex as soon as possible, I couldn't bear to loose Aana once again.
-"Andrew let's start tracking Suzy. She's the key of this secret mission now."
-"You are right Alex. Let's do it now."
This camping was the only way to get closer to Suzy. Once that jerk named Henry comes in my hand than definitely he won't stay alive after meeting me.
Alex helped me a lot during my hard days. Just after loosing Aana I met Alex or I could say he became my family.
He use to come to the orphanage where I use to live and he use to donate lots of his toys.
Eventually we both started talking and from that day onwards be both have always got each others back.
