I think I lost all my readers so far, but if you're reading this, I'm so sorry for not updating in long. It's just, life was messed up and this wasn't the priority at the moment. I'll try to update soon, I'm sorry❤

My eyes widened, equally shocked.

"Elena...?"

"B-Blue..!?", Elena whispered with wide eyes.

I cringed at my old name.

"Elena, what are you doing here?", I asked her.

"Didn't I mention my dad is getting transferred?", she asked me.

"Yea...?"

"This is my new school. I study here now", she said with an uncomfortable look.

My eyes widened,"Oh my God! That is AWESOME!!!", I said happily while wrapping my arms around her for a hug.

She doesn't exactly know what happened with me, but I'll explain it to her soon.

Not expecting her to push me back, I was caught off guard when she harshly pushed me away.

I stumbled back and lost my balance. Thanks to Alex, who caught me just on time before I could have broken a bone or two.

I stared at her with a look of pure astonishment.

"What the fuck do you think you're doing", she said with a disgusted look on her face.

"Huh".

"We coincidentally go to the same school now doesn't mean you're gonna keep bothering me like a bitch", she said with a fierce look on her face.

Her jaw tightened, making her dark brown eyes look almost black with anger and disgust.

"But Elena, we are best friends!?", I said with confusion, hurt clearly visible in my voice no matter how much I tried to hide it.

Now the whole hallway went quiet and we were under the unwanted attention of almost everyone.

I caught a glint of an emotion in her eyes for a millisecond before they went back to the same look.

" 'Were' best friends. Now if you'll excuse me, I have better things to do", she said while flipping her hair and walking away.

I just stood there with no expression.

Everything happened so fast, I did not know how to react.

"Rose", I flinched as I felt a hand on my shoulder.

Alex turned me around to face him. He seemed equally confused as I was.

"I- I um, are you okay..?", he asked me with a worried tone.

I just looked at him and didn't even realize when tears started flowing down my face. I didn't even care that everyone was watching, I couldn't stop anymore.

His eyes seemed watery and he quickly took me in his embrace. "It's okay, it will be okay", he whispered.

"Woah! What happened to my little Rose", I heard Cayden's voice.

I didn't look up.

"I'll tell you later. Right now, we need to take care of her", Alex told him.

"Rose, do you wanna go home?",Alex asked me in his softest tone.

Yes, I wasn't okay but I am not going to let anything ruin my new beginning. So I looked up, wiped my face with my hands and said, "I'm fine. I'm just a little shocked that's it. I'll be fine".

"But-"

"I said I'm fine, let's get my schedule", I said and walked ahead without giving him any time to speak.

****

"So you're the new girl I see", I saw a tall brunette girl eyeing me up and down the moment I entered Chemistry class, the first class on my schedule.

I already had enough drama for today, so I ignored her.

She got in my way when I walked ahead without replying to her.

"Stay away from the West Brothers", she said with a disgusted look on her face.

"Or what?", I asked with a raised eyebrow.

"You- oh so you must be new. I'm Lily", the brunette girl brought out her hand for a handshake. Her tone suddenly changed from harsh to sweet.

Huh?

"I'm glad that my students have a welcoming attitude towards the new students", I heard a heavy manly voice from behind me.

I turned around and saw a tall, slim man standing there near the door. He wore black thin rimmed glasses with his blonde hair pushed behind. He looked to be in his late twenties.

"You must be Rose. I am Scott Daniel, your chemistry teacher", he said with a welcoming smile.

Lily looked at him with dreamy eyes, as well as mostly all girls in the class.

He seemed to notice this but pretended that he didn't.

"I hope you will have a good time in our academy", he told me with a smile, showing his pearly whites.

I smiled and said, "Thank you, I hope so too".

"Everyone have your seats please",he ordered.

Students rushed to their places.

I looked around and saw that except one last seat in the furthest corner of the class, all were occupied.

There sat a beautiful dark girl. Her thick black hair was pushed up in a bun and she wore baggy clothes. Even though her skin was dark, she still glowed showing her natural beauty.

I walked near her desk and asked, "Do you mind if I sit here?", I asked her.

She looked up, "Um, sure", she said with an uncertainty in her voice.

"I'm Blu- Rose. I'm Rose", I brought out my hand for a handshake.

"I'm Lyra", she whispered and shook my hand slowly.

"Nice to meet you. I'm new, I hope we can be friends", I smiled.

Wow, staying with my brothers really did have some work on my social skills.

"Friends, with m-me..?", she asked me bewildered.

"Of course. You're certainly better than Lily", I joked.

She didn't laugh, "you do know that you can be friends with anyone here. You're famous", she said.

I knew what she meant. My brothers bought mega popularity by being their sister.

"Umm, I don't know what that's supposed to mean to me", I said.

"Nothing", she smiled a little.

I smiled back and then paid attention to the class.

After a few minutes, she asked me if I wanted to sit with her during lunch and I said yes.

****

"This is Karis and Karissa. They are twins", Lyra introduced me to a girl and a boy during lunch.

"Nice to meet you", I smiled at them.

"Nice to meet you too",they both said at the same time.

They looked similar to each other but still could be differentiated.

Karrissa had a lighter shade of brown hair, almost golden whereas Karris had brown hair. They both had chocolate brown eyes.

"Are you the new girl everyone has been talking bout!", Karris blurted.

Karrissa face-palmed, "that's not a way to welcome someone you dumbass".

I chuckled, "not that famous, but yea".

"They are my friends", Lyra told me with a smile.

"Yup, now your friends too!", Karrissa chirped.

Not gonna lie, I already like their vibes.

"But why are they staring at us?'', Lyra asked, pointing at a table in front of her.

"Oh those are just my brothers", I said and continued eating my food.

When I didn't hear any talking for a few minutes, I looked up and saw everyone staring at me.

"Why aren't you guys eating?" I asked them.

"They are your what!?", Karris whispered asked me.

"Huh?", I was completely oblivious of what was going on.

"The West Brothers are you brothers? For real?", Karrissa asked me.

"Didn't I say that already?", I raised an eyebrow.

"But-", Lyra couldn't finish when someone interrupted us.

"Can I sit here?", Alex asked, coming to our table with a hopeful expression.

Karris had his jaw dropped on the floor and Karrissa stared at Alex as if he was a ghost.

"Um, yea su-sure", Lyra managed to say.

Alex sat down and we ate.

After that, one by one, all my brothers came and sat on the same table, followed by the whole football team and the cheerleading squad.

"That's it, you're my bestie", Karris whispered in my ear.

Karrissa was literally drooling over the guys from the football team.

I looked at Lyra and she looked at me with the same expression before we both burst out laughing.

Everyone stared at us and wondered what was so funny.

****

"I need to use the restroom. I'll be right back", I told Lyra and Karrissa before excusing myself.

The day went pretty good, now only History class was left.

Lyra and Karrissa had it with me, so I was with them.

I walked in the bathroom, did my business, washed my hand and was ready to walk out when a familiar voice stopped me.

"Blue!", someone whispered. I looked at the person.

"I know you're angry, but just listen to me please. I can explain", she said with a pleading look.

"What's left to explain Elena! You made a fool of me in front of everyone. What do you want now!? Huh?", my voice raised as I spoke.

I was more hurt than angry.

"Please let me-", I didn't let her finish.

"Don't. come. near. me. I thought you didn't want to be my friend anymore huh?", I asked her in a mocking tone.

"Are you kidding me! You're the most important person to me right after my parents and brother! Do you really think I meant all that I said to you!?", she shouted with fat tears flowing down her face.

"Then why did you say it!", I said equally loud.

"I didn't have a choice", she whispered while tilting her head, looking at me with so much guilt in her eyes.

"What do you mean?", I asked her.

"He's here", she said with a painfully broken voice.
