Amelia's outfit above.

Adam stopped having breakfast with me since the day I threw my food in the bin. When I see him, he doesn't ask his usual 'how are you', 'how was school' or 'how was your day' questions and to be honest I kind of miss that.

He ignores me and doesn't look in my direction. I know that I don't miss him or anything but I just hate the fact that he's ignoring me.

I like his usual questions. They make me feel like he cares which is a good thing.

For the past few days, I've been clubbing and partying non stop. I go to the club with my friends every single day.

Speaking of clubs, Ethan and I exchanged numbers. We text almost everyday but we haven't seen each other since the night we first met at the club. He said he's so busy with unboxing and unpacking stuff cause he just moved from Oklahoma hence the sexy accent.

Earlier when I was having my breakfast alone, I asked June where Adam eats. I feel bad because he doesn't eat in his own dining room because of me.

"In his office. That was where he usually ate but after the marriage, I told him to be eating with you as it would make you feel more comfortable around him."

That was what she said and that made me feel worse. Adam might be is a jerk but at least, he's trying to make me comfortable.

I changed my parking spot for the craziest reason. It was where Liam spoke to me for the first time. Before I finish getting my things together, I hear a knock on my window.

I put the glass down and see my dearest brother. So Austin is now a freshman in Hardwood university. He had a choice to go anywhere he wanted but he chose here.

I wanted to go to Harvard but of course, my dad didn't allow me. See how cruel life is?

"Hi." Austin mutters awkwardly.

Hi?

"Are you okay?" I ask as I step out of my car.

"Um..." He clears his throat and looks away from my eyes. "I want to introduce you to someone."

"Oh, really?" I smirk.

"Yes and can you please be cool about it? I know you're the cool girl around here or whatever but I need you to be cooler." He says looking at me more confidently now.

I roll my eyes. "Just show me the person."

"Fine, let's go." He says then looks at my stuff. "Do you need help?"

"Yes, please." He collects my bag of long, big rulers and papers while I hold my laptop and my small Saint Laurent handbag.

"So who's the girl?" I ask as we walk side by side.

"A friend of mine." He says.

"If you say so." I smile.

"There she is." He points at a direction and I see two girls standing. One purple haired and the other one is blonde.

"Which one?"

"Purple haired."

I nod my head and as we walk closer, I see how pretty both girls are.

"Guys, this is my sister." Austin says and I smile at them. The blonde girl instantly grins and the purple haired gives me a shy smile.

"Hi, I'm McKenna. You're so beautiful! I'm a huge, huge fan of yours. I can't believe I'm attending the same uni as you!" Blondie says excitedly.

"Hi, McKenna. It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Amelia." I give her a graceful smile.

This isn't the first this has happened. Freshmen often get excited when meeting me or the other celeb kids around here but after some time, they all get used to it.

"Oh! I know who you are. This is my best friend, Ivy." She nudges the purple haired.

"Hi." Ivy smiles.

"Hello, Ivy it's nice to meet you." I say.

She's so pretty. Is she Austin's girlfriend.

"You too." She mumbles.

"So I'm gonna walk Amelia to her class. See you guys later." Austin says giving Ivy a long stare.

"It's fine, you can go with them. I'm heading to Starbucks anyways." I tell him.

"Okay." He grins and gives my stuff.

"Bye." I smile and walk away.

I can't believe it. My little brother who is a renowned player seemed to smitten by a girl.

The thought of telling my mum comes to my head but then I remember she and I are not exactly on speaking terms.

I'm not going to lie to myself and say that I don't miss her because I really do but I'm still mad. It's going to take a while before I find it in my heart to forgive her.

As I reach Starbucks, I see a very familiar figure collecting their drink.

"Well, if it isn't the prom queen." He smirks as he turns and sees me.

"Hello, Aaron."

I've obviously mentioned Aaron Hardwood, a total blonde and green eyed hottie but what I failed to mention was that he and I were close in high school. We actually went on a few dates and during our prom, he was the king and I was the queen.

"Hey." He hugs me. "It's been a while."

"Yes, it has." I smile back.

"So how are you doing?" He asks, his eyes roaming down my body.

"Great and you?" I reply, pushing a strand of hair behind my ear.

"Just kicking it then and there. Heard you've been partying all week. How long has it been seen you partied like that?"

God! The way word spreads around!

"High school, I guess or freshman year." I shrug.

"Well, some of my guys and girls are going to a club opening tonight. I heard that Jacob and Tyler are also going."

I awkwardly nod. "Cool."

"Yeah, if you and your girlfriends don't have plans tonight, you should come."

"Alright." I smile softly.

He grins. "Alright, then. See you." He kisses my cheek and leaves.

****

"Finally decided to call me back?" Ian says sassily as he answers my call.

"I was busy, Ian."

"Yeah, right." He rolls his eyes. It's a video call which means I can see him.

He has shaved most of his dark brown hair and he is wearing a baby blue shirt. He is covering his amber eyes with Gucci sunglasses. I look at his surrounding. "Are you in a restaurant?"

He nods. "Yeah, came down for lunch."

"So how is Ibiza?" I smile.

"It's fun but we're thinking of going back to Paris. Rob and Brian hate it here."

"You don't?"

"No, I met someone and I kind of think that she's the one." He says in a serious tone.

"That's what you said about the four other girls you told me about, Ian." I chuckle.

"I know but this girl she's-"

I cut him off. "Different? You said that also."

He huffs. "Fine."

I laugh at him. "Don't be hard on yourself, your Cinderella will come, Prince Charming." I give him a wink but he shakes his head "Don't need no Cinderella."

"Suit yourself."

"So how is Adam?" He asks with a teasing smile.

Why?!!! People are always asking about him!

"He's good but we're kind of not on speaking terms right."

He bursts into laughter. "God! What did you do to upset the poor guy?"

I gasp, putting a hand over my chest. "What makes you think that I did something?"

"Because I know you, Milly." Ian replies.

"Ian Thompson!" Emily screams as she comes out of the bathroom.

"Hey, Em. Why don't you drop that towel?" He winks.

She narrows her eyes and flips him, making him to laugh.

"Yeah, it's good to see you too." Ian chuckles. "Heard you are moving in with my g." He says to her.

"What?" Emily asks and my eyes widen.

"Nothing." I quickly answer. Colton probably hasn't asked Emily yet and I'm sure the last thing he needs is Ian spoiling the surprise.

"Bye, Ian."

"Bye, Amelia! Make sure you return Brian's calls too." He says, giving me a wink.

"I will. Love you."

"Love you too." I hang up and turn to Em. "So how is going on with Colton?"

"Great." She replies, looking down.

"Aren't you two like fighting?"

"Yeah but it's not a big deal. We'll get over it." She smiles and my heart melts.

Emily likes keeping things to herself but she always worried about other people. I know that she doesn't want me to know the reason she and Colton are cause she doesn't want to make me feel uncomfortable.

"It's been two weeks, Em."

A surprised look shows on her face. "How do you know that?"

"I have my sources."

"It's not like we're completely ignoring each other. We made out when we went to the club on Tuesday." She blushes.

"An angry make out session? Hot." I smirk. "I know the reason that you're fighting and I appreciate it, I really do but don't you think that's unfair to Colton?" I add.

"Sup, bitches!" Nicole pops into the room.

"Hey." I say, looking at her as she lies down on Emily's bed. "I'm so fucking tired. I'm gonna take a nap."

"There's no time for that. We all know how long you take to get ready and you know we're going to the club tonight." I tell her.

"Ooh! Someone is excited to see their new boyfriend!" She sings.

Earlier at Hardwood, I texted Ethan and asked him to come. He said he will so I told them.

"Ethan and I are just friends."

"Yeah but you like him." Emily says.

I sigh. "Not romantically. I like who he is but don't have any feelings for him."

"If you say so." She smiles and walks into her closet.

****

"I think we should meet at a better place next time." Ethan while he and I are seating in the VIP at the new night club.

"Next time?"

"Uhuh, the club is too noisy. I would love to take you to a nicer and quieter place." He states and I smile. "Okay."

"Yeah, so do you wanna dance?"

"Sure."

We hold each other's hand to the dance floor and when we reach there, Ethan and I start dancing together.

We're here with Nicole, Jas, Emily, Tyler, Jacob and Mia. Camilla and Chloe had stuff to do so they couldn't come.

I catch Nicole giving me a thumbs up and I chuckle. "You're so fucking hot." Ethan comments.

"So are you." I smile at him.

"Hey, you!" I hear a voice behind me and I turn around to see Aaron.

"Hey, where have you been?" I ask.

He gives me a dirty look that answers my question.

"Gross."

He laughs and pulls my hand and body to his. "Dance with me."

I turn my head to see a if Ethan is still there but I don't see him so I turn back to Aaron. "Sure."

The DJ plays a slow song and I see some people go back to their seats while some hold onto their parents.

"I saw Adam Black today. At school." Aaron tells me.

"Really? What was he doing there?"

He shrugs. "He goes there a lot. He gets invited to visit the business or engineering department. From what I heard, dude is so fucking smart. He graduated from Oxford with two degrees at the age of twenty then went to Harvard for his masters."

My eyes widen. "Wow that's cool."

"Fuck!" Aaron starts laughing.

"What?"

He shakes his head, smiling. "I can't believe I'm the one that's telling you this. You really have no idea, don't you?"

"Nope. He and I rarely speak."

"Well, now you know you got married to a brain box. A perfect match for a nerd like you." He jokes.

I roll my eyes. "Yeah, whatever."

"Seriously, what happened to you? You used to be so cool in high school but once we went to college, Emily, Nicole, Jasmine and Jamie suddenly became the only friends you have."

I shake my head. "You have no idea what it's like to study Architecture, Aaron and my dad expects a lot from me and I tend to deliver. I can't do that while I'm out partying."

"Fair point." He says then looks around. "Come on, let me buy you a drink."

****

"Holy shit! You live here?" Ethan says as we enter the gates of Adam's house. "This is fucking paradise."

"Says the guy that owns an four point eight million dollar car." I smirk at him.

"How do you know?" He smiles.

"The same way you knew about my ring. I'm into cars." I tell him.

"Amelia Smith, you never cease to amaze me." He says then goes out of the car to open my door.

The truth is I've been thinking of getting a new car and two weeks ago when Juliet and I were searching, the Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita caught my eyes. It's a very nice car.

"Thanks." I say as I get out of the car.

He hugs me then presses a soft kiss on my cheek. "It was nice seeing you tonight."

"You too, Ethan." I also kiss his cheek.

"Call me tomorrow." He says and I nod.

I watch him drive away and I enter the house. Ethan is a great guy but I don't think I'm ever going to have a romantic connection with him.

I walk directly to the kitchen to get some ice cream. I've been craving some since at the club.

This house has two kitchens. One where the chefs cook and the other is the private kitchen. It was made for me but I've never cooked in this house.

Fuck! There's no ice cream in the freezer and I'm really surprised. The freezer is always filled with different drinks and ice creams.

I go upstairs to my room and there isn't some there either so I head to Adam's room.

It's 3:30 in the morning, it's late but Adam doesn't sleep early, though I really think he's asleep now. Maybe I will slip into the room and check his fridge.

He said I can have anything I want.

I knock on the door and there's no answer so I twist the door knob and enter. I see him turn on his bedside lamp and sits up.

"Hey." I say.

"What's wrong?" He asks with worry in his tone and his face.

"Um... I want ice cream." I mumble.

"What?"

"I want ice cream." I say a bit louder.

He raises his eyebrow. "Are you fucking kidding me?" He asks in the sexiest voice ever.

I nervously bite my lip and shake my head.

"Do you know what the time is?"

"Yes but I really really want ice cream. I can't go to sleep till I have some."

"Fuck!" He swears and covers his face with his hands. After a moment, he raises his head up.

"Why did you wake me up? I told Randy to make sure that your fridge is stocked with whatever you want."

"There's no ice cream in my fridge." I answer.

"And the one downstairs?"

"That too." I reply.

He gets up from his bed and walks to the living room area of the bedroom. He stands beside a mini fridge and opens it wide.

He's wearing black sweatpants and a black shirt. I can clearly see his biceps. So fucking hot.

"Here." He says and walks over to a couch and sits. I give him a grateful smile then I walk over to the fridge and my mouth drops.

This fridge is literally every child's dream. There are all kinds of chocolates, ice creams, puddings and so on.

"Wow." I gasp.

I turn around and look at Adam, who is now doing something on his laptop. His hair is a bit messy and his eyes are still sleepy.

He looks so sexy. I wouldn't be surprise if I'm drooling right now.

I turn back to the fridge and take a chocolate chip Ben and Jerry's ice cream then my eyes spot one of my happiest joys on earth.

Kit kat!

I turn around. "Adam, can I have a kit kat as well?"

His body freezes and he stops doing whatever he was doing on his laptop. "You like kit kat?" He asks looking into my eyes.

Weird.

"I do." I reply and Adam bites his lip. "Since when?" He asks in a low voice but there's some emotion in his tone.

Weirder.

"I can't remember. I grew up loving it." And somehow, when say that, I feel a flash at the back of my mind.

I close the fridge and move over to sit on the couch that's facing the one Adam is sitting on.

I'm really surprised by his fridge. Now I know why the pantry has so many candies. Adam Black has a sweet tooth. That's so cute.

"So what's going on? We haven't talked in a while." I speak.

Is he still mad mad at me?

"You should go." He says not looking away from his laptop.

Shit! He is.

"I'm sorry." I blurt. "What I did the other day was rude and stupid."

He looks up and our eyes meet. "Yes, it was. Don't do it again."

I take the first spoon of my ice cream. "I get this your house and all but I do want you to know that I hate being told what to do."

"Our house." He corrects.

"You said it's your house the other day."

"It's my house and yours too. Why are even discussing this?" He frowns.

"I want you to apologise for being mean and bossy." I simply reply.

He closes his eyes in annoyance. Something that he does a lot when I'm around. "Do you think that asking you to eat was something that I did to please myself?"

I blink at him.

"The doctor said you were sick. Is wanting you to feel better something so bad that I have to apologise?" He asks and I can see it in his eyes. He's getting angry.

"No." I answer his question.

He shuts his laptop and stands up, running his fingers through his hair. "You're so fucking unbelievable."

"Adam, I'm sorry. I didn't think of it like that."

Why am I a fucking bitch? I came to his room in the middle of the night, woke him up and now I have annoyed the fuck out of him.

"Do you need anything else?" He asks in a very cold tone.

"No."

"Then I think you should leave."

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be a bitch."

He sighs and gives me a look then says, "No, you're not."

I give him a soft smile then leave.

I go inside my room with a yawn. I keep the remaining ice cream and my kit kat in my fridge then crash on my bed.

Life with Adam is confusing. One time he's a jerk and I find myself hating him and the next he is sweet and I find myself liking him?

Obviously not romantically but it's a weird feeling that has got my mind racing.
