Chapter 2

Maxine's Point of View

"Ouch my head," I whispered to myself while holding my head.

I opened my eyes and looked around the room where I was. My eyes widened when I didn't recognize this room. I'm not familiar with this room. Where am I? Whose house am I? I have to get up even if my head hurts and leave this house for as long as I can and run as fast as I can. What if some bad guys brought me here?

Before I can hold the doorknob, someone opens the door. I was shocked when I saw a guy with messy hair in front of me, he is not alone! He had four companions on his back. Omg, where am I? Did they kidnap me? Are they kidnappers? Oh, I remember that I fell last night and that I also lost consciousness last night when I was about to find a shelter... Did they-- My hands automatically covered my mouth. They kidnapped me! I need to get away, but I can't move. I'm scared to death. What if they suddenly stab me? Huhu.

"You are awake," the guy in front of me said while wearing a smile that made his dimples out.

Did they rape me? Please tell me that they did not! I'm only eighteen years old, for Pete's sake! I don't want to lose my virginity because of rape. Damn.

"Who are you?! Did you guys kidnap me? Let me go!" They all sighed when they heard what I said. What? What's wrong? Am I wrong? Are they good people attempting to assist me?

"You are not worth kidnapping for," said the guy on the left, who has an earring in his left ear. What did he say?!

"Yeah, you don't even have boobs," said the guy who was beside the guy who was talking just a minute ago.

They are looking at my boobs! Omg. I covered it with my arms so that they couldn't see it.

"Pervert!" I shouted.

"What's the matter here?" I heard someone ask, but I didn't see who it was. Later on, someone arrived—an old man? He is wearing formal attire.

"Oh, you are awake." I didn't respond, I just glared at him. He seems kind, unlike these five guys. Psh. He smiled at me before speaking again.

"I'm Harold, but you can call me GH for short. I brought you here four days ago, since you lost consciousness. And these are my grandsons." He turned his head to see his 'grandsons'.

He took me 4 days ago? It means I have been lying on that bed! Omg, what happened to me? I look at these five guys; are these his grandsons? K. I don't care even if these five helped me recover, they still insult me not just me, but also my boobs! Why do they care if I don't have big boobs? Arg! Perverts, I'll slide their necks.

"This is Louis Howard," he pointed out, pointing to the guy who had diamond earrings.

"This is Byron Wagner," the tallest of them said.

"This is Giles Christophe," said the guy wearing earphones. Oh, I think he loves music as much as me. Hehe.

"This is Sid Granger," said the guy in front of me, who had deep dimples.

"And last, Alyn Crawford." pointing to the guy with, er, a dark aura.

"Hello, Miss, what is your name?" The guy, who's named Byron Wagner, approached me for a handshake. Aherm.

"Maxine, Maxine Wards." I held his hand and smiled.

So I was wrong; I misinterpreted these guys. I think they are good guys. Well, I wish, except for the guy who had a dark aura. I don't want to look at him; he is so scary! What is his name again? Ah! Alyn! Alyn Crawford. Ah, it sounds a little bit girly, but it's alright. You know he is handsome and more handsome than the rest, but he's too scary to approach—er, so I must approach these four rather than him. His glare makes you want to quit talking; he is something. I will keep my distance from him. I don't want to die this early.

"I have a business in Canada; y'all are assigned to take care of Maxine." GH said he didn't wait for the answers from these five; he left as soon as he finished talking.

"Why did you run away?" We were watching cartoons in the living room when Sid suddenly spoke up.

"It's a family matter, you don't have to know." I rolled my eyes.

"You are living with us; we have to know." Byron said. Okay. Okay. Fine they won, I will tell them.

"I heard that I was adopted when I was 3 years old. They hid the truth from me, and they treat me as their pet, not their daughter. So, after hearing that, I decided to flee and never return. I said with a sad tone that I didn't look at them. I don't want to see their reactions. I don't want them to look down on me.

"You ran away without any important things?" Giles asked. Oh that? Hehe, how can I explain that? They definitely call me an idiot.

"About that, ahm hehe, I forgot..." I faked a smile, and I saw the changes in their reaction—they were disappointed with my answer!

"Idiot!" is the chorus among these five. Arg! I know that would be the best word they could use to describe me.

----

I was in front of this big mirror where I could see my whole body. I'm wearing the Calteron Academy uniform; it's been a month since GH called the five jerks to enroll me on their campus, so here I am looking at my entire body in the mirror to see if the uniform fits my sexy body.

Knock, knock, knock!

I opened the door as I heard someone knock behind it. As I opened it, Byron showed up with his boring face. Okay, what's with that face? Am I getting slow again?

"Can you hurry up? I'm afraid we're going to be late."
