Chapter 1 - A Morning In Glass Towers

The Sinclair Estate was quiet as it usually is especially during breakfast hour the maids had already done their job filling the long table with different meals to be eaten for breakfast.Julianna strutted down the staircase already prepared for school her parents and grandfather already had their places at the table

Morning, Julianna said, Evelyn Sinclair Julianna's mom replied morning sweetheart how was your night ,I hope you've prepared everything you need for the new semester , obviously she would have prepared everything after all it Lianna we are talking about Vincent Sinclair Julianna's father stated which made echoes of laughter fill the dining hall.

"Of course after all she is my imperfectly perfect granddaughter... Lionel stated .

"C'mon grandpa don't tease me... Julianna said with a chuckle.

...Oh right Lianna I would drop you off at school today consider it a parting gift from me after hosting me this wonderful yet boring weekend

..."More like eventful...father ... Evelyn stated

...Oh dad..I have something I need to talk to you about after breakfast...Vincent said

...Alright but make it quick as I don't want my granddaughter to be late on her first day of the new semester...Lionel said

...I will make it brief ..stated Vincent

Soon the dining hall fell into silence as only the sounds of cutleries touching the plates were heard.

Julianna was the only one left in the dining hall as her mother had gone out while her father and grandfather where in the study discuss about the latest project the company wanted to embark on.

She knew a bit about the project but the information she knew were very vague

.."Maybe I'd ask grandpa about it in the car later on...Julianna muttered to herself

The sound of footsteps descending from the staircase could be heard making Julianna looks up

..."I thought you were going to be in the car by now"...Lionel asked

"I was just about to get going before you came in grandpa "... Julianna replied

"Well that's great at least I get to walk with my favorite granddaughter...."

...."I'm your only granddaughter grandpa..."

...."Right ...totally forgot...Lionel teased.

They had reached the front where the car was parked and the driver hurriedly opened the door for them to get in .

The ride to school was very quiet,

...Grandpa, what is the project the company is getting into...Julianna asked trying to get more information.

..Well your dad is trying to get into the aviation industry...Lionel said

..."Aviation Industry...?

... Yes..replied Lionel

The Sinclair Group of Companies were almost in every industry openly or through investing in other companies .So this came not as a surprise to her.

...."Sir..miss...the driver started... we've arrived at the school.

...Alright thanks grandpa... I'd get going now ..see you.. Julianna said as she hugged him

..."Ok dear..see you , be a good girl..

..."Alright grandpa good bye... Julianna said as she stepped out of the car...waving as the car drove off she kept on watching till she didn't see it anymore

..."Sentimental today aren't we... Caleb Whitmore.... Julianna's best friend and senior stated

..Shut it, Cale ...

..Why so grumpy today huh, beauty..?

... Didn't you find a girl over the school break to date or something..?

..Well...I did but none of them can ever replace you ..Caleb said

Both of them knew deep down in them that what he had said was true even if he said it jokingly.

As they walked down the hallway of their prestigious creme of the crop school Astoria Heights School

..."Attention all Students please move into the assembly hall for the new semester's prayer , immediately.."

..."There goes our freedom...Caleb said

..."Drop it Cale you are a senior now ...

...Right thanks for reminding that I would soon be done with this place...

...But you would still be here Lian how would you survive without me ... Caleb said

..You graduating is not the end of the world Cale..and maybe I'd even find someone to stay by my side while you're gone.. Julianna stated

...Something shifted in Caleb's eyes as she said that and Julianna saw what it was but pretended like she didn't see it...

Caleb masked his true emotions with his signature playful smirk. Let's head to the hall ...Ok Lian...?

.... Ok..Cale... Julianna replied .

As Caleb and Julianna stepped into the Assembly hall a voice calls out to them both

...Babe...

The voice belonged to one of AHS socialite Sienna Valore as she walked towards them with all smiles, intertwining her hands with Caleb's , she smiled as she stood in front of Julianna introducing herself

..."Hello there Julianna I'm Sienna Caleb's girlfriend"....she said. Julianna not even sparing a thought towards her replied all smiles

....Hello Sienna nice to meet you...

Sienna hated the fact that she could not read through Julianna because she knew a boy and a girl could never really be just friends one has to like the the other and she thought since Caleb's dating her, Julianna was the one with the one sided love for Caleb, this was her thought process as she said ...I really hope we get to be close friends Julianna since I'm going to be here for a long time...to which Julianna chuckled and replied ....Of course I really do hope we get along since you are going to be here for a long time.... Julianna said this while gazing at Caleb who winked at her. This interaction did not go unnoticed by Sienna as she places her head on Caleb's chest moving closer to him to let Julianna know that she could never get to be this close with Caleb since they were just friends.

....Fool...

Was what Julianna said in her mind to her Sienna was a complete fool if thought she didn't read past her antics. She wanted to be with Caleb for a long time like Caleb would ever let that happen . Caleb doesn't last long with girls once the interest is gone he breaks up with them without looking back so why did Sienna think she was going to be different when Caleb had an infamous reputation for changing girlfriends like he changes clothes .Her thoughts quieted down as the principal of the school strutted into the assembly hall making the hall extremely quite .
