Chapter five 

                   Vianne's Pov 

It's finally Monday, the cursed first day of the week and the day I go to Deon High as a student. 

I never really fancied school. I was pretty much used to mum homeschooling me back in London, but I was still a child back then but it stuck with me. 

Made me this awkward person who didn't want to socialize with people, from what I know the school is filled with spoiled brats. 

I have one living under the same roof with me so it wasn't so hard to figure out, what's even more annoying is the fact that I'm going to be going there on my own. 

Mom was too busy and Theo said he had work early today so I used the bus, asked for directions, and voilà, now I'm standing in front of the school's gate. 

The tall fence with red bricks and silver gate with an eagle statue on top, under the eagle 'welcome to Deon high' was written in Gold. 

I entered passing through the gate after giving the security guards my student card, they searched my bag and handed it over to me and I shook my head finding the whole routine unnecessary. 

I'm sure the kids in this school still find a way to snuggle whatever they think they are checking for inside, as I walked in I noticed the other students staring at me. 

Some were pointing and conversing among themselves and I couldn't hear what they were saying, beads of perspiration coated my forehead and my palm and I kept my chin up refusing to cower under their scrutiny. 

It's just my first day here and I already have issues with the students. I wanted to scream and ask what they were looking at because I was dressed in the same uniform as them. 

Was it my hair?

My bag?

I should be stressing myself over this, maybe I should try talking to them. 

As I entered the hallway a guy almost bumped into me, "I'm sorry" I apologize even if he was the one at fault but he just flinched and walked in the other direction. 

Okay... What was that? 

I walked towards my locker noticing how they were whispering and moving out of the way for me, is this how they bully students here on their first day? Make them feel like an alien to drive them crazy, or maybe it's just me. 

I opened my locker and took my books for the first period and I ignored the weirdness and focused on finding my class. Unfortunately, they were also like that in the classroom. No one offered for me to sit with them so I chose the seat at the further end of the class. 

A girl with silver hair and cute big black bows tied to her pigtail took the seat beside me, "Hi, I'm Diana." She introduced her voice sounded bubbly and she wasn't looking at me like the rest. 

"Vianne, nice to meet you" I smiled at her and she grinned. 

"So I heard you are Levi's step-sister, what's that like? Does he help you with your bath or give you breakfast in bed? He looks like a gentleman, is he a gentleman?" She rasped imperatively. 

Oh, so he is the reason everyone is treating me like that?! 

I haven't even seen him since the kiss! 

I still blame myself for letting it happen and if I knew he was going to ghost me after that, I wouldn't have done it. 

He hasn't been home since that night. And I heard Levi telling my mom how he always disappears for a few days before coming back. 

Which is weird, now I don't know if it has anything to do with me. 

"Why would you think he is a gentleman?" I asked the chatterbox of a girl. 

"Well he helped me pick up my pen the other day and he scolded Candice when she was making fun of my bows" She explained and I frowned. 

So his ex goes here too?

What have I gotten myself into? 

I couldn't exactly tell Diana she was wrong, I have seen the way he fucks and it's not so gentlemanly, the way he kissed me not minding if I was out of breath. 

"I don't know, I just met the guy," I replied, acting nonchalant. 

"You do know everyone is talking about you, he warned them to stay away from you if not they would have been all over you the moment you walked in," She said.

"Wait, is he here? At school?" I asked and she nodded. 

The teacher came in and class commenced even if all I could think of was why he was avoiding me. Was he watching me too when I got inside the school? 

I should never have agreed to kiss him, this is going to complicate things for us. 

"So do you also have a crush on him?" I asked keeping my tone light despite being annoyed. 

"Gods no. He is too handsome to settle for someone like me. I prefer Vincent because he is my type. Or maybe Darren but he is too cocky" She replied and I don't know why I felt relieved. 

"Darren is the playboy of the group, the twins are in a relationship and Levi doesn't do relationships he only fucks the girls who throw themselves at him. Vincent does both so he is the heartbreaker of the group, Ryan is gay" She explained. 

So Levi is a fuckboy, good to know. 

Nice one Vianne real nice, I can't believe you were so stupid to give in to him! 

Now I look like one of his many toys. 

"Are you alright? You look pale" Diane touched my sweaty forehead and I chuckled awkwardly. 

"I'm fine! I'm okay, I need to use the bathroom real quick" I stood up and left the class. 

I'm such a fool, I don't even know if I can face him anymore and we stay under the same roof. 

He hasn't been home since which means he has somewhere else he was crashing at, was it because of me? 

What do I do now? 

I was passing through an empty classroom when the door opened and I was suddenly pulled in. 

A hand presses tightly on my mouth muffling my screams as I struggle with whoever it is. 

"Relax baby, it's me" Levi whispered in my ear and I opened my eyes meeting with his green orbs. 

"You look so good in this ugly uniform" His eyes twinkled in delight as I sank my teeth into his palm. 

He let go of my mouth and I glared at him. 

"What are you doing?" I panted checking if anyone could see us. 

"Nothing, did you miss me?" He smirked, coming closer and I stopped him. 

"Stop, please. We can't be seen like this, it would be suspicious and I don't want any scandals with my stepbrother" I pointed out and he creased his brows. 

"What do you mean by that?" He asked. 

"It means I can't do this with you. So stay away from me" I replied and his shoulders slumped as if I just hit him. 

"Vianne-"

"I'm serious. Unless you want me to tell you Dad" I threatened and he took a step backward. 

"Very well then I will stay away from you, if that's what you want" He left the classroom and I sighed. 

I did the right thing. 

So why do I feel like running after him and apologizing?
