I stand at the corner of the large office, looking around the employees of the Davis Company celebrate Christmas and their last day at work until New years.It still surprises me how the company can give almost all of their employees a week off without losing profits. That's how legit the Davis Company is.Wearing a very thick jacket and blue jeans matched with some chucks I borrowed from April, i kept my distance from everyone and just observed.My boss is dancing with his wife around the heavy decorations of the office while other dance, drink or simply chat with their plus ones or other employees of the company.I sighed as i tried to come up with a reason as to why i came here today when i could have been in my home wrapped with some thick blankets ... Or my husband's arms.Instead, i only remember using this Christmas part as an excuse to not be alone at home on Christmas as Karl's work was pulling him to the company more these days.I will stay for a few more minutes and then I'
I look down at Abriana's photo on the year book with a little smile and a huge relief.Clicking my pen open, i put a small tick next to her name and moved on. On to the next mend.I flip through the pages. The next few students on the year book were either people i called friends or people i knew but barely talked to. I kept on going until i reached a face i know I've washed with tears.Felisha Andrews.This girl was actually my best friend turned into my worst enemy.I'd known her since middle school and I'd shared some of my problems at home with her but she's "unintentional" shared my secret with some people who'd tried to mess with me.The hate I'd felt for her at such a young age was more than the hate I had for my parents and my family name. So,i made sure the secret i shared with her never left the lips of the people she shared it with, along with making her life miserable.The attack towards her was more personal.It was never to earn attention or get a spot light. It was fr
I look at the sign of the studio, wondering whether or not i should get out of the car or just tell Ethan to dive away.Ethan sits in the drivers seat and waited for my next instructions without asking me why we've been sitting in the car outside of a small studio when we can be in our warm house sipping hot coco.Tucking my hands into my mittens, i blow out a big breath before opening the back door.Stepping out of the car, i quickly walked up to the door and pushed it open. The tiny bell on top of the door rang when i opened it and I don't wait a second before i rushed in and closed it behind me.I shivered a little before turning my back to the door and looked around the studio.It's empty considering it's Christmas and almost new year. But there is an elderly woman sitting behind a desk right infront of the door.The woman looked up at me and adjusted her glasses while leaning forward to get a better look at me."Hi. Umm.. I'm Lucy Chaw." I said as i walked closer to the woman.
"lift you arms up." April commanded and waited for me to do as she said so she could take my measurements.She already had all of my measurements but she wanted to film every step of her process so she had to measure me again infront of the camera she'd set up in Zeus's room.Zeus is on the phone talking with Alice, his secret girlfriend, while April and I talked about the dress designs, colors and fabrics for my next hoody dress."Yeah... Okay, Love. I'll see you tomorrow at work. I'm coming in to finish up the preparations for Saturday's launch party so I'll be there the whole day. Maybe... We could have lunch together..."Zeus stopped for a few seconds before he sighed."Okay, Alice. I understand, you know i do. And i respect your decisions. So... I guess I'm just going to have to eat lunch with another woman."I have no idea what Alice said to Zeus after his little comment but he was smirking and smiling like an idiot."Of course. We'll eat like two professionals who happened to b
The decoration looks amazing. The blue and white lights shining on the walls made the balloons look like their light bulbs.The Thompsons should don't speak expense when they do their jobs.Zeus's eyeshadow palette launch party had just started a few minutes ago and every one was looking around the company's main hall with aww.Me, wearing April's hoody dress- because i just couldn't help myself- looked at every part of the company with amusement.I looked around at the people talking to some of the Thompsons. They all looked like they dressed to impress.At the corner of my eyes, i caught Alice- Zeus's secret girlfriend- stealing a glance at the man of the hour, but she doesn't approach him.When ever s woman would walk up to Zeus and talk to him, Alice would walk a little closer to listen in on their conversation. She'd then look at the woman up and down before staring down at the close she's wearing.Because she's still on duty for the website, she's wearing baggy jeans with an ove
Monday morning, back to work.Except, I'm at home because my stupid body couldn't make it past new year without getting sick.The night of New year had been perfect. Zeus's party was amazing and now everybody knows that he and Alice had been a thing for a long time. And to Alice's surprise, no one treated her differently because of it.If i was totally honest, i was a bit scared that they might treat her badly like me and a couple of my coworkers did to Princi. But that wasn't the case.Zeus and Alice had made it clear that their relationship has nothing to do with their work as they both complete their roles in the company with out a hitch.People couldn't treat Alice badly even if they wanted to. Her mad genius management of the company's website was proof enough that she knows how to do her job and that she doesn't need a Thompson to get to when she is right now.Aside from the two, Karl and I had a pretty fantastic night as well. Except i woke up the next morning with a high feve
My heart beats uncontrollably in my chest.All the light mood escapes my body and got replaced my insane fear.How can it be?How can Karl's baby sister be in my year book?She's two year younger than me, it doesn't make any sense.But then... It hits me.I remembered a girl in my year... The youngest of the entire batch.She was smart and a teacher's pet. She had straight A's and was always in the library. Until one day, she caught our attention.Mitchell had been sick with a pregnancy scare and so she'd cut classes and snuck out to go to get herself a pregnancy test.Mitchell was the girls partner in class and because she was missing the lessons and refused to help her with the assignments, the girl had told on her and Mitchell had ended up getting suspended for two weeks.That was what had drawn our attention to the girl. To Kaily Thompson.And after that day, i made sure to turn her into a punching bag, turning the entire batch against her, spread rumors... Just anything i could d
Karl Thompson...I press my palms together and leaned them against my chin."I swear, i didn't mean for any of this to happen...""Not now, Kaily." I said, cutting my baby sister off.I turned my head to the side and looked at Lucy.Sleeping soundly on the hospital bed, she looks so vulnerable than ever."Why would you do this?" April said accusingly to our youngest sister. "Is this some sort of revenge, or something? Did you have to do it infront of a room full of people and cameras. I bet she didn't even know you were filming her."Kaily doesn't give April an answer. She just sniffled.Today had been a disaster. We'd all went to support Kaily and I've been thinking that it was weird she'd hide such a big event from us. Now i know why she didn't want to tell us about her presentation.I sighed as i remembered the shock i felt when i saw the video. That day when i was called to the company because April and June had fought, Kaily was with Lucy and i was co
