The next day I hurried to school. I was late just because I had run errands for aunt. When I finally got to school. I was thinking of the surprise Ares was preparing for me.
When I walked in the school many people were surrounding the entrance. 'What happened?' I walked in and people pushed me into the school. That was when I remembered about the Alcotts. It must be why people are loosing their minds.
As I was about to walk away from there I saw three luxurious cars parking in front of the school. I knew it was Alcotts. 'Maybe I should stay and see their faces.' I thought.
In the first car, two tall figures came out of the car, I couldn't see very well because of the crowd. Girls swarmed towards that direction, screeching and shouting at how handsome they looked.
Just when I turned around and gave up. I heard my name. "Amelia!!!" That voice sounds familiar. I turned back to see who it was and what I saw made me freeze. It was Ares. He was an Alcott.
He gave me a quick hug and smiled "How do you like my surprise?" I was completely speechless. Come to think of it I was sure he didn't use Alcott as his surname in high school and I never really talked to him until yesterday so I don't know much about him. He's really a Alcott. All the girls around me started throwing daggers at me with their eyes especially Amber and her friends. It's normal for them to behave like that. The guy they were trying to seduce hugged me on his first day in this school. I was weeping inside of me, I didn't want that much attention.
I dragged Ares to a quiet place and the man with him followed. "Ares you are an Alcott? Wow, I didn't expect that, but you shouldn't have done that."
He looked confused. Then he realized. "Oh, is it because of the hug? I thought that since we were friends we could hug each other. It's not a big deal." 'it's easy for him to say, he's a celebrity for crying out loud.'
"I know we are friends but I don't want to receive any unnecessary attention from anyone. So if you want to do anything like that don't do it in public. Please." he just smiled and nodded.
I noticed the man behind him and wondered if he was his brother. He was almost as handsome as Ares. I turned to the man and quickly apologized for not quickly noticing him "I am so sorry, I didn't see you there. Are you perhaps Ares's brother?"
He chuckled and replied me. "Thanks but no, I am a friend of Ares. You would know that if he bothered to introduce us to each other. He only told me he was going to meet one of his high school friends " He said that looking at Ares. Ares wasn't even bothered. But I quickly introduced myself to him. "Right, My name is Amelia Jones. This is my third year in college?"
He turned his attention to me and also introduced himself. "My name is Blake Davis. This is my fourth and last year in college. Nice to meet you." He said as he shooked my hands.
Just then Ares came inbetween two of us and put his arms around my neck. "There's no one here, so can you show us around here since everyone attention is on my dear brother and sister?" I just chuckled and nodded.
I took Ares and Blake on a tour of the school. Just as Ares said, everyone's attention was with his brother and sister. He was lucky I dragged him out of there.
The three of us talked about silly things and laughed until we heard the bell. "Oh, I guess it's time for me to head to class. It was fun. Bye, see you later." I ran to class leaving both of them. 'I always thought Ares was just like others rich spoilt kids but I guess him and Blake is different. It was nice to finally talk to someone freely again. I didn't even get to see Ares brother and sister. Well, we're in the same school after all. I will get to see their faces sooner or later.'
During lunchtime everyone headed out of class while only I remained in class as usual. I didn't have money to buy lunch so I stayed in class to read and eat chocolates. I really loved sweet things and chocolate was what I could afford.
Moments later I heard my voice. "Amelia, there you are." It was Ares and Blake. What were they doing here? "Ares? Blake? What are you guys doing here?" They came over and sat next to me.
"We should be the one asking you that question. What are doing here? We looked for you at the cafeteria and we didn't see you there. Do you know how hard it is to get out of there without being mobbed?"
'what? They came looking for me? But why?' "I am sorry but this is where I spend my lunchtimes, I can't afford the meals and I don't bring one to school so I use that time to study." Hey frowned as if he heard something that displeased him. Then he brought out a bag containing foods and sweet dishes.
"OK then, I was looking for you so we could eat this together." Although I really wanted it especially the sweet dish but I can't accept it. It looks expensive.
"No I can't eat those. They look expensive. You can eat it with Blake." Blake looked at me and said "Of course I can't refuse to eat this but I am afraid this is just too much for only two people." I looked at Ares and he nodded. 'It was true that the food was too much and it would be a shame to waste them.
"OK fine, I will eat with you but it's because I don't like to waste food." We all laughed. Ares gave some food and all the sweet dishes. I looked at him in awe. But he said "Blake and I don't like sweet dishes, we thought you would like it so we bought it for you"
I looked at the dish. 'it was so sweet of them to get me this. Maybe I should keep some and give them to the children in the orphanage. They also like sweet dishes.'
"Thanks a lot, I will keep some for the children at the orphanage. They love sweet dishes too." what Ares said next shocked me.
"No need for that, If it will make you happy, I will buy many sweet dishes for all the children everyday." 'what? Sweet dishes for them everyday?'
"That's too much. No need for that" I didn't want him to waste money.' just then Blake whispered something into Ares's ear.
"What are you guys talking about?" They were grinning like they were going to do something big. Then Ares said "What time will you be at the orphanage and what is the address. I have a surprise."
'Another surprise? What could it be this time?' I told him the address and what time I will be there. After that we ate and talked. Once again the bell interfered. Blake and Ares really looked pissed.
Blake rubbed the back of his head and said. "Someone really needs to do something about this bell." we all laughed hearing that and I thanked and told them to quickly leave before people start coming.
When they left I sighed. Even if I don't want to admit it, I was happy to finally have people to talk to. Just then Scarlett came and I was back to annoyance.
"What do you want now?" she put her hands on my shoulders. "Oh my dear cousin, why didn't you tell me you were already this close to one of the Alcotts, why don't you introduce him to your dear cousin, huh." I just shoved her hands away from my shoulders.
"Firstly, I didn't know he was an Alcott and also I am not going to introduce him to you so that you can just rob him. Now leave me alone." I said and took a notebook from my bag.
Scarlett looked really pissed but she surpressed it. "If you don't want to introduce him then fine. The other son is more handsome anyway, I will go for him. The Alcotts are full of handsome and beautiful people. I can't stop dreaming of those beautiful faces."
I was really annoyed but she wasn't wrong. Even the people close to them are really handsome just like Blake. I wonder what the remaining siblings looked like.
After school, when I was about to leave some of Amber friends surrounded me. Then Amber came out in the middle. "My dear cousin is really close to an Alcott. Why don't we teach her a lesson."
Then she smirked and before I knew it, I was tied up and my mouth was tied up as well. Then they carried me and threw me like a sack into the library. Amber then came closer to me." Don't you like to read books? I brought you to your close friends. You can thank me later. Girls!!! Let's leave her with her friends."
After that, they walked away and locked the library door. I struggled to untie myself from the ropes but it was to tight. Then I gave up and started crying. It useless shouting for help. My mouth was tied up and everyone in school had left by now. I didn't know what to do. I laid on the cold floor and cried.
I heard a noise coming from the back of a book shelf. Someone was in the library. "So noisy." My blood froze when I saw who it was. It was Katie's brother but what was he doing here. He looked at me and then grinned.
"So it was you. What kind of trouble have you found yourself in now rabbit?" He said that as he removed the cloth from my mouth. I just frowned 'God, I told you to send an helper not a nuisance'
"What are you doing here, you have a habit of entering places uninvited and now you even broke into a school. Are you crazy?" Even though I was still in that situation I couldn't stop myself, the sight of him makes my blood boil.
Just then he pinned me to the wall leaving me in between his arms. His face was more handsome up close. Our faces was just inches apart and it made have some unknown feelings. "Rabbit, you are more daring than I thought even in this situation. Why would I break into a school I study in and own. You even woke me up from my nap."
'Did he just say that he study here and own this school? If that was the case then he is...'. Just then I heard another voice and the person was Ares. He looked furious.
"Get your filty hands away from her Axel." 'So his name was Axel. I only knew him as Catherine's brother. I never knew his name' Axel stood up and grinned "Oh, It's great to see you again, brother."
