Time seemed to pass quickly, Ashley couldn't stop speaking about Clarie's and the blonde jerk's face.

"She was a sight!" Ashley spoke

"We should have taken a photo" I replied laughing.

"No one had idea that you are Callista Blackthorn" Sofia spoke in awe.

"That blonde asshole wouldn't even dare to come anywhere near you, he was looking spooked" Ashley spoke laughing, we couldn't help join her.

Everyone was staring at us, as usual we decided to ignore them.

"Why didn't you tell us?" Sofia asked

"I didn't want to grab attention towards me" I spoke slowly.

"That will be difficult, you were already grabbing attention everywhere you go, now it will be more than doubled" Sofia replied amused.

"No way" I spoke in horror.

"Thanks" I told them softly

"Why?" Sofia asked confused.

"You guys never left my side"

"That's what friends are for, backing each other" Ashley spoke cheerfully, her smile was so infecting that we both could help but join her.

I went to library during sports class, yeah I skipped it. I told Ashley and Sofia that I am not feeling well and will be in library.

I know I can't keep on doing this, before school will inform Victor about my absence in sports class I should ask him for the permission slip.

But how?

What the hell am I supposed to tell him.

Even today I spent an hour staring at the blank white board during arts class, I took the brush in my hands, but couldn't pour my feelings into it.

My memories weren't colorful like when I was a child, it had turned darker and darker as time went by.

"Callista, why aren't you painting anything?" arts professor asked, I gave her a cold stare.

She didn't came back to me again.

Great, start scaring everyone one, you are getting better at it.

It was my stupid conscience that keeps on reminding me that she's present.

Clarie and her friends or anyone didn't dared to bother me, news about Blackthorn's little sister spread like a wildfire throughout the school. There were whispering and stares wherever I went.

---------------------------------------------------------

During my ride to home, I mostly spend time in my phone, I was searching for some information regarding them, I need to be sure that they stopped looking for me

After dropping me at home, both my brothers drove away, they told me that they have some job to attend.

After changing from uniform, I spend few hours reading, after getting bored I decided to roam around the house.

I was proved right, this house is indeed maze, I got lost and spent about half an hour trying to find a way to my room.

On my way, I stumbled upon a large majestic door, it was locked I was looking for any hidden keys somewhere near, when my phone rang.

It was from Edward, I immediately took it.

"Callie, it's me Edward" came his voice

Of course it's you idiot! Who else?

"There will be some guest for lunch, Be ready, we will be at home soon"

He cut the call after that.

Do I care? Of course not.

I dropped my search and had a hard time trying reach my room, I even considered calling one of my brothers for asking directions.

It would be embrassing.

Edward didn't even bothered to tell me who the guests are.

So I decided to put on my black jeans with white crop t-shirt and a oversized jacket.

Yeah, I looked presentable but who cares, Not me anyway.

I spent next hour wasting time in my phone, that's when Diego knocked my door.

"Come downstairs, they arrived" he spoke, from his face I can tell that even he is not pleased with the arrival of whoever this guest was.

I finally followed him downstairs, I know otherwise he would carry me forcefully. The guests had already arrived, they were sitting with my brothers in the hall.

Who the hell are they?

Once I saw their faces, I stood frozen at my spot, I wasn't expecting them.

It was the Greywire family.

Mr and Mrs Greywire with their son and daughter were sitting on couch.

My dad and Mr Greywire were friends, not that close type of friends they were just on friendly terms before, I don't know about present, I met him few times as a child.

Mrs Greywire always manage to get on my nerve, if she get even a inch of space she will build a shrine for her children and can't stop praising about their families achievement, mainly boasting.

I don't get along with their daughter Renee, she's 8 years older than me but still acts as a bitch towards me, Because I am a Blackthorn. Her younger brother Alex is no better, I can't even stand in his presence without arguing for even a minute.

All in all I hated this whole family.

From their faces, I can tell clearly that they weren't expecting me either.

This going to be a long night.
