The door suddenly barged open. All fours of us watched as a guy with band aids decorating his gorgeous face stepped in.

He paused when he saw me,“What's going on here?” He asked in a deep voice, turning his gaze to the three guys.

“Dwayne?. You're alive?” Brown curl began to laugh, “I thought Chris finally ended you, I guess he spared you again.”

“I said, what's going on here, Steven Hart?” Dwayne marched forward, his dark hair cascading over his forehead.

“She's the one who came in here by herself,” Steve was the one with brown curls.

“Let her go!. Now!,” Dwayne had such a loud deep commanding voice, it vibrated throughout the bathroom.

“Or what?. We're not afraid of you anymore, if Chris can beat you, then so can we. Right guys?. C'mon, fight me Dwayne,” Steven balled his fist, daring Dwayne.

I watched as Dwayne took off his deep purple blazer and threw it at me, “Put that on.”

I caught it and quickly covered myself.

Dwayne missed the first punch from Steven.

“If Chris can wipe the floor with your face, so can I. You…” Steven was cut short as Dwayne punched him, he fell to the floor with a bloody nose, cursing loudly.

Steven’s friends exchanged looks and made a run for it.

“This isn't over Dwayne,” Steven pulled himself up and left.

“Are you okay?,” Dwayne asked me.

I nodded, “I could have totally handled that but thanks. It's my first day and I mixed up the bathrooms.”

“I'll show you where it is. What happened to your shirt?,” he pointed to my bloody shirt on the hand basin.

“Vanessa spilled a drink on me by accident” I grabbed the least bloody part.

“Vanessa?.” His handsome asian face twisted in anger, dark eyes becoming darker.

“Yeah.” I folded my shirt, walking towards the door.

“Then it wasn't an accident?” He trailed after me, wound disinfectant mixed with his cologne.

“She apologized and….”

“I know Vanessa and I know it wasn't an accident.” he opened the door for me.

“Well I don't know who you are so I can't trust what you say but thank you for saving me from Steven.” I walked out of the bathroom.

“Have I mentioned that Steven is Vanessa's brother?.”

My feet froze on the spot, Chris's words rang in my head, “Don't mess with me next time, princess.” Did he plan all this with Vanessa? And Steven?.

“And Vanessa is my ex-girlfriend, I know her better than anyone else,” his lips thinned as he said that.

“I'm sure it's probably just a coincidence. Are you okay though?. I sorta saw Chris and you in the morning….yunno…” he was definitely the guy Chris beat up.

“And you're the princess who saved me,” he said with a sigh, “I've seen the video. I owe you one. You can keep my blazer and I'll show you to the girls bathroom. Follow me.”

“I'm not a princess,” I said as he led me out of the bathroom, we'd barely walked three steps when we heard a girl shriek.

“Rebel. Princess,” Vanessa called, “We've been looking all over for you.”

“Yes,” Leslie and Maya said, suspiciously hiding their phones behind their backs.

“I'm not a princess,” I said.

“I just wanted to apologize again, I'm so sorry. Here's a fresh shirt to change into, you can use the dance squad locker room, there's a shower there too. Here's a spare key since I'm the captain, it's on the third floor opposite the senior's gym. I'm having a party tonight, you should totally come. Can I have your number?I'll text you the place and time. Here, Maya grabbed your bag for you.”

“Thanks, I will,” I took the key, shirt and my bag. I also gave her my number.

“I see you made a new friend too,” Vanessa winked towards Dwayne.

Dwayne looked like he wanted to murder Vanessa.

“I can find the locker room alright. Thanks for your help Dwayne,” I rushed away. I wouldn't want to get in anything between Dwayne and Vanessa or Chris.

*****

School ended without any more drama, thank God. I read Vanessa's texts about the party details as I waited for the bus. I don't drive because of a particular reason.

“Need a ride?,” A motorcycle suddenly stopped in front of me.

Coffee dark eyes met mine, his familiar black hair covering one of his eyes underneath the helmet, his band aids weren't visible anymore, “Dwayne?.”

“Do princesses ride buses now?,”

“Last time I checked, prince charmings rides horses not motorcycles,” I scoffed.

“So you are a princess,” he handed me a white helmet.

“No I'm not,” I rolled my eyes.

“Great. Hop on then, Rebel,”

I arranged my long blonde hair behind my shoulder, “How do you know my name?.”

“You're trending on Maryville High gossip News. The princess who stood up to Lucifer himself.”

I scoffed as I arranged my skirt as I got on, holding on to his broad shoulders for support.

He started the motorcycle, “Where to?.”

I yelled the address into where I thought his ear would be and gave a squeak as he drove off at full speed, not stopping until we reached our destination.

“Thank you,” my face was flushed, my hair spiky, my heart beating fast as I handed him the helmet.

He eyed the mansion behind me, “You live here?.”

“Well no. My step mother does, I'm supposed to meet her with my dad today.”

“If she's a wicked step mother, it would absolutely complete the fairy tale right?.”

“Get outta here,” I laughed, waving him off.

“Hey. My family's restaurant is just outside this estate, you should come, we have a long list of menu for the entire world,” he told me.

“Sure” I gave him a small smile watching him zoom off. I took a deep breath and headed towards the fancy mansion.

This was the first time I was going to meet my dad's girlfriend, he met her on a work trip to Maryville, he's always going on work trips, never had time for me and Connor my brother, long story there.

Now after I got expelled and Connor's at a correction home, he moved me and him here for a fresh start. I only agreed because I never want to see Marcus again.

“Where’s my Dad?” I called out after a maid let me in.

“Mr Conklin and Miss Kane await you at the drawing room,” the female maid could only be a few years older than I am. Her deep blue eyes checked me out openly and I tried not to feel insecure.

“I'm Rebel,” I introduced as she led me towards the so-called drawing room.

“I'm Annie. I work here,”

“Nice to meet you Annie.” I said.

“Not mutual,” she whispered coldly.

Before I could answer, she added, “And here we are,” and turned away.

“Hey Dad!.” I called as I saw him seated at a table.

  • Obsessed With My Step Brothers    Chapter 61

    I walked into the cafeteria alone, keeping my eyes straight ahead.The elegant cafeteria was crowded and noisy, with students sitting in groups around almost every table. Conversations overlapped, chairs scraped against the floor. I ignored all of it.I joined the line, collected my food, and found an empty table near the windows.I sat down alone.That was exactly how I wanted it.I picked up my fork and started eating, refusing to look around even when I could feel the occasional glance in my direction.I was halfway through my meal when a shadow fell across my table.Chris stood there.Behind him were four guys I recognized as his friends although I couldn't say I knew any of them well.They all looked like they had been assembled specifically to intimidate people.One was broad-shouldered with a serious face, another was tall with his sleeves rolled up, another had a permanent-looking frown, and the last one had the kind of expression that made him look like he had never laughed i

  • Obsessed With My Step Brothers    Chapter 60

    Nobody was actually staring at me the moment I got to class. Normally, I expected to feel their eyes before I even reached my seat. They should follow me from the doorway, move with me as I walked between the desks, and sometimes linger long enough to make me wonder if there was something written across my forehead that I didn't know about.But there was no whispers, no strange looks, no one pretending not to look at me while obviously looking at me.It should have felt like a relief, but somehow, it made me more suspicious.I walked to my seat and dropped my bag beside my chair, glancing around the classroom.Almost everyone had their phones out.That was when I noticed the real problem.They weren't watching me because they were watching something else.Several students were gathered together, some sitting with their phones held between them while others leaned over desks to see someone else's screen. A few people had their hands over their mouths, and there were occasional quiet r

  • Obsessed With My Step Brothers    Chapter 59

    I kept walking.That was the only thing I could think of doing.Everywhere I went, someone seemed to be looking at me, whispering behind a hand, nudging a friend, or pretending to be busy with their phone while secretly taking pictures of me. It would have been easy to let it get under my skin, especially when I could still feel the delicate skin around my neck and arms underneath my uniform, but I refused to give them the satisfaction.I had already spent too much time worrying about what people thought of me.I wasn't doing it anymore.If these people wanted to stare, they could stare until their eyes hurt.They clearly had nothing better to do.Maryville was full of rich, spoiled teenagers who had probably never had to worry about where their next meal was coming from. Whether their parents could afford their school fees, or what they were going to do with their lives once their parents stopped paying for everything.Their biggest problem was usually who was dating whom, who had

  • Obsessed With My Step Brothers    Chapter 58

    The next morning, I stood in front of my mirror, staring at myself.I looked normal.My school uniform was neat, my hair was brushed, and my shoes were polished. Nothing about me screamed that I had spent the previous day recovering from burns caused by someone who had deliberately messed with my shower to hurt me.But when I moved closer to the mirror, I could see the difference.The skin around my neck was still delicate, with parts of it slightly red beneath the treatment the doctor had given me. My arms were worse.I carefully adjusted my sleeves, making sure they covered as much as they could without looking suspicious.I took a breath and grabbed my school bag.Today was going to be fine.I opened my bedroom door and stepped into the hallway.The house was unusually busy. I heard voices downstairs. I frowned and headed down the stairs.When I reached the last step, I stopped.My father was standing near the front door with Susan beside him, while some of the maids brought in lug

  • Obsessed With My Step Brothers    Chapter 57

    I woke up with my cheek pressed against my pillow and absolutely no idea what time it was.For a few seconds, I stayed still, staring at the wall while my brain slowly caught up with reality.Then I remembered. The burn. The doctor. The day off school.And Sean.I pushed myself up carefully, expecting to hear something from the other side of my room.Nothing.I looked around.The chair where Sean had been sitting was empty, the cards from earlier were still scattered across the little table, and the half-empty bowl of popcorn was sitting exactly where we'd left it.Sean was gone.I checked the time on my phone. I had slept for almost two hours.Not that he needed my permission, obviously, but after spending the whole morning with me, I had somehow expected him to still be there when I woke up.I reached for my phone and checked my messages.Nothing from him.I stared at the screen for a moment before putting it down.Why did I even care?He had probably gone downstairs to do something

  • Obsessed With My Step Brothers    Chapter 56

    I was halfway through my breakfast when I realized Sean had been watching me.He was sitting across from mm with his arms folded over his chest, looking far too serious for someone who had just made me breakfast. I swallowed another bite and raised an eyebrow.“What?”“Nothing.”“You've been looking at me for the past five minutes.”“I was making sure you were eating.”I looked down at my plate.The food was already disappearing, “I am eating.”“I can see that.”“Then stop watching me.”His mouth twitched, “I'll stop when you're done.”I rolled my eyes, but I couldn't stop myself from smiling.It was strange having someone fuss over me like this.Especially Sean.Normally, missing school would have sounded like a dream.But under these circumstances, it felt different. I didn't like being injured. I didn't like feeling weak.I pushed the food around my plate, unable to eat anymore. Sean noticed immediately, “What?”I shook my head, “Nothing.”I stared at him for a second before look

  • Obsessed With My Step Brothers    1; Chris a.k.a Lucifer

    “Where is everyone?” I muttered to myself, adjusting my back bag as I walked into my new school. The halls were completely empty, not a student in sight. I suddenly heard a roar so loud and wild, like a stadium just exploded. I flinched, my heart jumping into my throat. The sound came from deeper

  • Obsessed With My Step Brothers    Chapter 6

    I couldn’t breathe.One second, Dwayne was dragging me through the packed crowd with his hand wrapped tightly around my wrist, and the next, Chris punched him so hard his head could have snapped sideways. Girls screamed.A table crashed over.I stood there frozen, staring at Chris Kane. I thought

    He wore dark clothes that made him stand out above all the other brightly dressed guys, band aids still decorated his face. “Hey Dwayne, I thought you said you wouldn't make it,” I said and he shrugged. “I came for you. You look good. Want a drink princess?” He yelled above the noise. “I’m not a

  • Obsessed With My Step Brothers    Chapter 4

    Dad wasn’t alone. A woman sat opposite him, smiling warmly. She had long gray hair and bold green eyes, she sat confidently with her legs crossed. I felt immediately intimidated by her calm but bold presence. “Rebel,” my dad said, getting up to give me a hug. “Meet Susan, she's going to be your st
