Chapter 1

Trust isn't something to play with. They tell you, your family, loved ones, friends would never betray you. Dont let them lie to you, it's all an illusion. But what happens when you find the right people to trust, what happens when you place your trust in the right people? Your life becomes pretty awesome.

Which brings us to the story I'm about to tell you.

I get up from bed that morning thinking about the one thing I hate, School. It's torture don't get me wrong, I rank the highest in my year, but it still sucks. So the author likes descriptions, so she's going to make you know that I am average in height, I have dark skin, blue eyes, long brown hair and I'm pretty fucking hot. *wink*

"I hate school Aubrey, why do we have to go?" I say walking into her room.

My sister looks like me but there's a difference, she dyed her hair pink and she has a beauty mark under her left eye.

"Why do you always throw a tantrum when we are about to go to school, Audrey?" My sister says with her hand on her forehead.

"But Aubrey school sucks real bad"

"Now Audrey, you have to go to school if you want to prove a point to mom and dad"

"Fine, I understand" I say walking out of her room

I walk into my room and get into the shower, thinking about how I have to lock myself up again, how I have to be mean and not let anyone know the real me. I just can't anyone in, I mean what if they treat me like he did? what if they hurt me or can't understand me. I look at the scars on my chest

"It's better they don't know"

I come out of the shower and change into my school uniform, a black long sleeve shirt with a navy blue short skirt and black shoes.

Aubrey asked if I'm ready to go, I'm not but I can't do anything about that.

"Come on, I'll drive to school this time" I said

"Really, thanks, I was too lazy to drive" she said

"Sisters" I say with an eye roll

It was a fun car ride we talked and sang to the songs on the radio, eventually we got to the prison yard.

As we walked into the hallway, all eyes were on us, my sister liked the attention as she is very popular but everyone feared me because I was mean to them, I even got a nickname "Ice princess" which I think is very dumb. Why can't I be normal, I want to have friends and live my life but will they understand? Well, I can survive as long as I have Aubrey. I walk by the people and sight the one person I've always hated.

Sylvia Grayson, The school's Idol other than my sister and i. I don't get what people see in her, brown skin, short, beautiful brown diva curls on her head, brown eyes and that's it, what is so special?

"What's up, Why are you staring at me? I know you can't afford my latest pair of Mystique's Sugar plum shoes. You're allowed to drool" she said with a coy smile.

Oh, you poor thing, you mean those last season shoes? I just got a bag from the unreleased Caroline collection from Mystique " Aubrey said.

"What? you'll have to be Marycaroline herself to have those" Syliva said.

" We know people who can get it for us. Aubrey, the bell just rang I think we should dedicate our time to something more important" I say with a sinister smile.

"You are right, I mean it's not like she's worth it anyway" Aubrey says.

We laughed as we walked away, That felt good

~Math class~

Math is my favorite class, just because I hate school, doesn't mean I'm dumb. We walked in and found our math teacher already in class.

"Hey Mrs E, you look good today" I say smiling, She does look good for her age.

"Like I do everyday" Mrs Ejiofor says laughing

"Can we take our seats now?" Aubrey says from behind

"Go ahead dears" Mrs Ejiofor says with the most beautiful smile ever.

She writes something on the board.

"Now class who can solve this equation?"

~Bell rings~

Walking into the hallway with my sister I sight someone familiar. My sister's best friend Peculiar

A short light skinned girl, with black straight hair, black eyes who is also pretty.

"Oh look the puppy is coming this way, oh look she's waving at you" I point out

"Hey Aubrey" she waves at Aubrey

"Hi Audrey" she waves at Me.

"Hey" I said

"What's up Peculiar?"

"I would like to know if you guys want to hang out?" she said nervously.

"Why would I want to hang out with you? shooo puppy, run along" I said

"Audrey, behave yourself" Aubrey said

"Are you shitting me? why would I hang out with your puppy? it's not like I care what happens to it" I said

"Audrey can you leave? I need you to leave"

"Because of a dog?"

"If you won't leave then I will, come on Peculiar, let's go" she said walking away with Peculiar who is crying"

Why do I always behave like this? why can't I talk normally? it's not like she did anything wrong. I ran in the hallway trying to get to there I would cry and no one would see me. I hate myself, I hate this feeling.

~On the other side of the hallway~

~Xander's POV~

I walk into the hallway with my best friend Sjay coming out from math Class. I'm a tall dark buff guy, with chestnut brown cropped hair, grey eyes, pink lips and well, I'm basically your dream man lol. I'm in my school uniform which is everything the girls wear except the skirt we wear trousers.

"Dude I couldn't understand what was going on in math class today" I said while scratching my head

"Bro chill, look at all the ladies today just get some random girl all on your cock!!" Sjay says with his hands up.

Sjay is a tall dark buff guy also with a black and light Blue man-bun, pink small lips he was handsome too. I mean we are always seeing girls flock around us that had to be something. Here's the cool part. Sjay has two different colors of eyes. The left is green and the right is blue. Awesome right?

"I'm worried about the things that come out of your mouth , weirdo" I said with my arms crossed

" That's Mr lovable weirdo to you bro" Sjay said with air quotes

" I'll be sure to remember it" I said laughing

I saw someone running very fast not looking where she was going.

"Hey watch...."

~BOOM~

She bumped into me and we were both on the ground

I got up before she did and tried to help her up,she rose her head up and man was that the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. Her long grey hair, her beautiful looking face wow! As I stretched my hand towards her, she freaked out and slapped my hand

"You peasant, who do you think you are stretching your hand out for me? I can get up myself next time you don't get in my bloody way. Hmph... Weirdo"

And with that she walked away.

First of all, who is this girl who just acted all high and mighty? Why did she slap my hand and why were her eyes so sad?

"You ok bro" Sjay asked

"Yea dude I'm fine"

"Omg I'm very sorry for my sister's behavior"

Wait what?? Another one

"Hey Aubrey" waved Sjay

"Are you hurt anywhere?" Asked Aubrey

"I'm fine, really just confused" I said dusting my trouser

"Dude you just bumped into the girl they call 'The Ice Princess'. A girl so intelligent and cold, you can't even touch her. I heard she is so mean and she doesn't have a heart" Sjay said

That silly Sjay, I don't know where he gets his stories from. All I want to know is why were her eyes so sad and empty? Like it's begging to be loved or something, I really want to know why her beautiful blue eyes were empty, I don't get.

"I'm really sorry about my sister I'll make her apologize to you. I promise" Aubrey said running off

And with that she was gone.

"Dude let's leave" Sjay said walking away

"Sure Bruv, sure" I said following Sjay behind

And Back to me... Hahaha, did you miss me? Of course you did

" Ugh, that hot little bitch! Who does he think he is? No one stands in my way!" I was pacing across the hallway really pissed off. He'll pay

"Ogechukwu Audrey Wellington, what exactly is your problem? Why do you always behave like this huh? I'm sick and tired of your attitude. Let's go home" Aubrey said while charging at me. I've never seen her so angry before. Is it what happened with that guy that's making her this angry? Wow ok.

As obvious as it was, the car ride home was filled with silence and Aubrey glaring at me mostly, but I knew that once we got home all will be forgiven.

And she slammed the door at me. Great! So much for all being forgiven.

"Why are you even angry anyway? It's not like he's your boyfriend or something. I don't get why you are bahaving this way" I shouted at her door

"You just act like you are all high and Mighty, no one but you? You can't just act like everything is about you." She shouted while coming out of her room

"Hahaha, I can. Do you know what it's like to be betrayed? Do you know what it's like feeling weird about someone touching your hand? Feeling weird about someone talking to you? I can make shit about me if I want to" I said with tears running down my face. I don't want to fight with my sister, it hurts so much.

"Audrey I'm sorry ok? But you have to let go of things or else you won't be able to move on don't cry anymore" she walks up to me and wipes my tears. I love my sister but I can't let her down

"Plus you have to let go of that Ice princess title" she laughs

"What I never knew that shit was real" I laugh also, I'd lose it if anything happens to my sister.

"Now that this is cleared up, how about ice cream?" Aubrey said smiling a lot

I know that if there's one thing We love, its ice cream and puppies but mostly puppies.

I walked into my room and pounced on my soft bed that I have missed for ages. Of course there's Aubrey to remind me of how I always make her late. So I better try to be fast. Sometimes, I wonder how I'm the older one when all I do is make Aubrey worry about me. Meh that's something to worry about another day.

I get up slowly from my bed, pick up my phone and play Prblms by 6lack. It's my favorite song at the moment, walk to my closet to find something to wear.

After scattering my closet, I come out with a black crop top, goth girl skirt and black shoes while dancing to the music playing from the speakers. I try them on and think to myself black does look good with everything.

I come downstairs thinking oh yes I got dressed faster than my sister. Haha I'm the shit now! Just to be disappointed, I find her sitting down in her red turtle neck crop top, black jeans and black shoes. This little bit-, I mean I tried to be fast, is she some kind of witch or something?

"I thought you were going to be really fast today? I mean you always try but never win" Aubrey said with this smirk on her face, yep she is definitely a witch now. "Let's get going" I told Aubrey while leaving the house.

The ice cream shop is like a 5 minute walk from the house, and it was a fun walk. We got in the shop and I couldn't contain myself

"So many beautiful flavors, I'm in love, I can't exactly pick one" I said with drool by the side of my mouth. What can I say? I love ice cream.

Just there I sight two familiar figures, the hot one I bumped into and his hot friend as they were walking into the same shop as we were? What the ****?

"I'm telling you bro, that girl was not worth it, seriously dude she just something else you know" the one wearing a black shirt said

"Yea dude I get" the one wearing a blue shirt said.

They were actually good looking, I liked their hair especially the one with the black and blue man bun.

Wait they are coming this way omg!!

"Hey Aubrey what's up" Sjay said waving and walking close to us. As they came closer the scent of roses filled my nose. It was so nice rather they smelt so nice, then I saw him the one who I bumped into earlier today. He looked so good in his blue t shirt and black shorts, his scent that smelt like rose and peaches, oh how I love peaches and now he smells like one, I don't get.

"Hey Sjay and his friend who I don't know his name" Aubrey said with a smile.

"Hey my name is Xander, I just moved here" Xander said while looking at Aubrey and taking quick glances at his phone

"Nice this is my Sister, Audrey"

Nice going Aubrey now I have to apologize like I mean it. Ugh!

" Hey, look I'm sorry about bumping into you like that. I didn't mean it" I said with a sorry face

Maybe there is some good in this girl, Xander thought

"Stand in my bloody way again and you'll be the one saying sorry"

Aannd maybe not, he thought again.

"Audrey" Aubrey said angrily

I just let out a loud laugh, I can't believe I laughed in front of them. What was I thinking? They weren't meant to see me laugh. My reputation has gone down the drain

"Wow what a pretty laugh" Xander said

"Who knew the Ice Princess could laugh like this" Sjay said with a big smile across his face

"Not one single soul should know that I laugh at all, I don't want them to stop being scared of me" I said

Well, mostly because I don't want them to hurt me like HE did I can't live with it again

"What's wrong Audrey? Why do you have this sad look on your face?" Sjay said trying to touch my face

Aubrey holds his hand and says " If I were you, I really wouldn't do that. She is my sister I know what she can do right now"

"How about that ice cream we wanted huh"

"Yay ice cream" I scream like child

"Wow is this the scary monster she is so cute"

Xander chuckled

I heard the word "cute". I hate that word, the word HE used for me most of the time.

My eyes went dark and I lost myself a little

"Don't you ever call me cute again" I say to him

"Ice cream, ice cream!" Sjay said

So we went to order, I got white chocolate and chocolate chip ice cream, my sister got strawberry and raspberry ice cream, Sjay got mint and vanilla while Xander got the same thing as me, who knew he really liked chocolate as much as I do, hmmm weird right.

We sat down and they talked, I just listened to their conversation because it seemed cool. Even though I didn't contribute, they didn't make me feel left out because they tried to direct things to me so that I'll talk. Typical!

Soon our little chat came to an end and we all parted ways, it was kind of fun today. I haven't exactly done this in like forever, but as we came home it was already dark

"Today was fun, wasn't it?"

"Yea it really was" I say to my sister

"Why did you tell Xander that?" Aubrey said with a worried look on her face

"He called me cute" I say facing her

"Wow, I'm sorry. He shouldn't have done that, it's just-"

"Why are you worried?" I say looking at her face

" I'm older now, thank you for being there for me when they weren't" I say hugging my sister with tears in my eyes

"I love you Audrey and I won't stop. That's why we are sisters" she said wiping the tears from my eyes

"Well, we have to go to school tomorrow" she says with an evil grin

School the one place I hate so much,

"Well goodnight my lovely older sister, I'll see you tomorrow"

"Goodnight" I say watching my sister leave my room to her room.

I lay in bed thinking about a lot of things, even meeting this Xander boy who has a thing for pissing me off. Could it be that the peaceful days are finally over? Heh, I can't wait to find out and with this I sleep off.

I find myself in a dark room, what is going on here?

"Hello, is anyone there?" I call out.

I could only see pitch black and then I start hearing voices, I follow the voices to somewhere really familiar

"My old Room, what am I doing here?"

I hear the cries of a little girl and the voice of A man.

I try to peep to see what is going on, I see the little girl in a corner, clothes ripped, hair messy, eyes very wet. She was crying so much that her eyes were red and the man stood there and was laughing.

Angrily, I went out and shouted at the man

This was the real horror, he turned and I went cold with fear. No no no he is out of my life, so what is he doing here? Why is he here? And he starts coming closer and closer
