Wrapped The Bully Around My Fingers The photograph.
“ I am so sorry I couldn't pick up your phone. You know I was busy.. ”Anastasia was talking to her, but her words floated past her ears like a distant murmur. The image of Lucas and Rosie on the phone screen last night keeps flashing through her mind, drowning out everything else. Her body was in the room with her friend, but her mind was stuck in the memories of the previous night. She couldn't forget it. Her hand at his arm, their smiling faces. “ Pearl! ”She was pulled out of her thoughts by Anastasia's sudden outburst. She blinked, and blinked again trying to remember what they were talking about. “ Yeah, I am listening ”She cleared her throat. Anastasia examined her expression. “ Alright, so what I'm saying is I am really really sorry ”She held her hand and squeezed them. Pearl nodded. She was not angry with her, she couldn't be. “ It's okay Ana. You don't have to apologise ”She gave her a smile. Suddenly the bell rang.“ We should get going ”Anastasia nodded and they m

She knew they needed to talk, walking away was not the correct choice, but the words stuck in her throat. She could see the confusion and hurt in his expressions earlier, and she wanted to turn back and explain herself, but something held her back. The silence between them was deafening, and every time she opened her mouth to speak, the words died on her lips. She wanted to reach out to him, to make things right, but she couldn't find the courage to do it. Her wrist was grabbed before she even took a step forward and she was pulled back. Her back hit his chest and he wrapped his hands around her waist. “ Pearl, it's not what you think. ”He turned her over to face him, his hand still at her waist. “ Lucas, I think we are done. ”Pearl spoke. Her voice was tiny and soft. She felt her heart drop with those words but had to do it. She couldn't let him make a fool of herself. She was raised as a girl with self respect and she won't allow anyone to step on it. Not even him. She tried t

“ Stay for the night ” Lucas buried his face in her hair, inhaling her flowery scent. “ No, I have to study you know ”“ Please ”Lucas spoke in a soft voice. His voice was low and deep. “ Please, I have to complete my assignment ”He sighed. “ Okay ”Pearl sat in the passenger seat, her hands were playing with the seat belt around her. She was in a good mood now. Lucas looked at her every now and then. There was a soft smile on his face. “ Wow, what's that? ”Lucas looked at her upon hearing her voice. She was holding a tiny bunny in her hands. His eyes softened when he saw it. He smiled. “ It was given to me when I was two years old. I couldn't sleep alone so she got it for me ”“ You mother? ”Pearl saw him nod. She examined the toy in her hand. It was so cute and soft. It was so tiny as well. It was as big as her palm. “ You want it? ”She was looking at it so affectionately. He saw her eyes go wide upon hearing this. “ You.. You don't want it now? ”He chuckled. “ No it

Rosie looked at them with hatred. She clenched her hands into a tight fist. Her nails dug deep in her palm. It was soon lunch break and Anastasia dragged Pearl with her to the canteen. She couldn't even say bye to Lucas. “ Oh god slow down I am going to fall ”Pearl spoke. She was being dragged so hurriedly that she could barely keep her balance while Anastasia was showing no sign of slowing down. At last Pearl gave up and jogged with her. They reached the canteen and spotted an empty seat. “ sit here and let me bring something for us to eat ”Soon Anastasia was back holding their snacks. They settled down on their chairs. Pearl took a bite of her burger. “ It's good ”Anastasia nodded and took a bite herself. She nodded again. “ Yeah ”On their way back to the classroom, they passed by other students, who were also making their way to class. The sound of their chatter and laughter filled the air as they chatted and joked with each other. Suddenly there was silence. Pearl was con

Lucas raced all the way to the hospital. Pearl was now unconscious. He kept looking back at her. Anastasia hugged her, she was weeping. They reached the hospital and he wasted no time, he immediately picked her up in his arms and rushed into the hospital. Anastasia's step paused when she got a look at the building before her. “ Grace hospital ”She whispered to herself. It was his own hospital. Top in the country. Of course he trusted no one but his own people to treat her. She saw him screaming at the doctor and grabbing him by the collar. “ I want her back in her usual self! ” She heard him shout at the doctor as she approached them. The doctor was already trembling. “ Yes, yes you master of course ”The doctors and the nurses were sweating. They pushed the sketcher to the operating room. They waited outside the room. Lucas was pacing back and forth. Anastasia had seen him panicking only once. When his mother died, today was the second time. Lucas lit up a cigarette. Anastas

“ Mom.. Mom..wake up.. Mom please don't leave me ”Lucas turned in his sleep. He murmured in his sleep. “ Mom.. Mom.. ”His forehead was covered in sweat. He was trembling. “ Mom.. Mom please ”He kept on mumbling. His face was wet with tears. His tears. Suddenly he felt a hand pulling him closer. He inched closer. The same hand caressed his hair. He calmed down. Pearl rubbed his back, she caressed his face. “ It's okay ”She whispered to him softly. She felt him calming down in her arms. She kissed the top of his head and continued holding him and caressing him. He eventually calmed down and went back to sleep. Earlier Pearl had found him sleeping on the chair beside her bed, she felt bad seeing how uncomfortable he looked and felt so she told him to sleep next to her on the bed. “ What have you been through Luc ” She whispered. “ Mom, I.. I.. ”Rosie was standing before her mom. She looked terrified. Her eyes kept on darting up and down and her lower lip trembled. “ What is

Lucas drove her back to her hostel. He parked the car outside the gate and carried her in his arms. “ Lucas, stop ”Pearl blushed. She struggled but he didn't let her go. He carried her towards her room. “ I can walk ”“ Unlock it ”Pearl unlocked her door, still in his arms. They entered her room and Lucas finally dropped her down on her bed. “ Take rest today, no classes for today ”He ordered her. “ Of course not.. ”Lucas narrowed his eyes on her and she immediately stopped. He kneeled before her and took her hand in his. He raised them to his lips and kissed her hands. “ I have already talked to the Dean. You don't have to worry. ”He did, what? Pearl was shocked. She opened her eyes wide. “ Wha.. ”“ Shhh.. ”He raised his finger at her lips. He touched her lips and Pearl blushed harder. “ Now rest. Okay? ”She nodded her head. She was feeling quite weak today. She definitely needed a day off. She saw him standing up and she immediately held onto his sleeves. Lucas look

The black Bugatti stopped before the elite garden's hostel. Lucas stepped out and shut the door behind him. The door closed with a thud. He leaned back against his car and lit up a cigarette. He raised it to his lips and took a drag. A small group of girls were gathered nearby, sneaking glances in his direction. It was clear they found him incredibly attractive, their eyes following his every move with a mixture of curiosity and admiration. Lucass seemed unaware of their attention, lost in his own thoughts as he took a drag on his cigarette and exhaled a large plume of smoke. His cool and aloof demeanour only added to his appeal, and the girls found themselves unable to tear their eyes away. When he was done he dropped it down and stepped on it. He ran a hand through his hair and made his way inside. On his way he popped some mint chocolate in his mouth to hide the fact that he had been smoking earlier. He knocked on her door and it opened after a minute. Pearl closed the door be

The castle is quiet when I return—too quiet. My footsteps echo down the stone hallways, the torches flickering on the walls as if reacting to my presence. The shadows here don’t whisper like they did in the graveyard, but they linger all the same. I keep my head down as I move through the halls, fingers curled tightly in my coat sleeves. The dirt from the grave still clings to my skin, under my nails, and I feel like I’ve brought something back with me. Something that doesn’t want to let go. Lucas isn’t here. The thought drops into my mind like a stone in water, rippling through everything. No echo of boots in the corridor. No impatient voice behind a closed door. No sharp, observant eyes following me. He’s gone. Somewhere far from here tonight. That should bring relief, but instead it leaves a hollow space. Because now, I’m alone with everything I’m afraid to think about. In the room, I lock the door behind me and head straight to the washbasin. The water’s already cold. I

I found her in the west corridor this time, standing by the tall stained-glass windows that bathed the hallway in shards of color. Evelyne. Or at least—that’s who she truly was. She turned when she heard my footsteps, her practiced smile snapping into place, all sweetness and lies. A chill ran down my spine. She looked exactly like me, like Roslyn Miller. she was Rosie. But, I wasn't seeing the stranger she pretended to be anymore. I was seeing her. My sister. The girl who used to braid my hair too tight and steal the last slice of birthday cake. The girl who cried in my arms when she got nightmares. She'd grown. Taller. Sharper. More dangerous. But there was still something familiar in the set of her mouth, the guarded look in her eyes. Something broken. I stopped a few feet away, and for a second, neither of us said a word. The weight of everything we weren't saying pressed down on my chest like a stone. Finally, she spoke. Casual. Breezy. "You keep fo

It had been a week. Seven days of pretending to be Pearl. Of swallowing down the truth like a secret that might rot me from the inside out. No one noticed. Not really. They still called me by the name that wasn’t mine. Still treated me like the girl who arrived at the academy dazed and forgetful. Still saw the version of me they expected to see. But I saw it. In the mirror. In the way I stood. The way my voice had softened, lilting into the same cadence Rosie used to have when she whispered to the stars from her bedroom window. I saw it in the way my fingers reached up—absent, automatic—to tuck my hair behind my ear whenever I was nervous. Just like she used to do. Just like I used to do. Rosie was slipping out of me like light through cracked glass, and I didn’t know how to stop it. And Lucas… he noticed something. I could feel it. He didn’t say anything. But I’d catch him staring sometimes, brow creased in that quiet, careful way of his—like he was trying to

And I screamed and screamed as loud as I can to stop the voices in my head, to hush them from consuming me entirely. The room was pitch-black, but I could still see the flames. Still hear the screech of tires, the shattering glass, the last words my mother ever said to me—Rosie, close your eyes. And I had. For years. But now they were open. Wide open. And everything hurt. The door slammed open. I barely had time to breathe before he was there—Lucas, heart in his throat, panic in his eyes. “Pearl!” He was at my side, hands cupping my face like I might vanish. “What happened? Are you okay?” I couldn’t speak. Not right away. Because looking at him felt like bleeding. He was older now. Broader. More haunted. But he still had the same eyes—the ones that used to look at me like I was his world. Not Pearl. Rosie. And that was the part that shattered me most. He was holding me like I was someone else. Like I was a girl with a different name, a different story. But I

The candlelight is low. Flickering. Dying. I walk barefoot down a hallway lined with mirrors—dozens of them, tall and arched, gilded in gold that’s flaking away. The floor is marble, but my footsteps don’t echo. It’s like the air itself is swallowing the sound. Heavy. Watching. My dress clings to me, unfamiliar. Pale gold, stitched with roses. I don’t remember putting it on. Everything smells like rosewater and smoke. I pause beside a mirror. My reflection stares back, but there’s something off. I lean closer. The tilt of my head, the shape of my mouth, the line of my shoulders—it’s all right, and yet… wrong. Like I’ve seen this face on someone else. It’s me. Of course it’s me. But my stomach tightens. I force myself to look away. That’s when I see him. Daniel, standing at the far end of the corridor, dressed in black, shadows curled around his shoulders like a cloak. He holds a bouquet of roses—blackened, wilting, soaked in something that drips down his wrist.

I press the phone to my ear and glance at the stars. The rooftop is cold beneath me, slates hard against my back. The wind carries that soft chill that always makes me feel like something’s about to shift.My mom’s voice comes through the speaker, warm and clipped with concern.“You sound tired, sweetie. Are they overworking you again?”I let out a breath—half a laugh, half exhaustion.“No, it’s fine. Just a lot of assignments.”A pause.“And late-night walks,” I almost add. “And watching someone unravel.” But I don’t.She hums thoughtfully. I can hear her stirring something, probably tea. Home always sounds like comfort.“Have you made any new friends yet? You never talk about anyone there.”I hesitate, then lie.“Yeah. A few.”She doesn’t press. She never does. Maybe she thinks I’m just quiet. Or maybe she’s learned not to dig when I’m like this—floating somewhere far away from where my body is.“Your father says hi,” she says. I can hear him grumbling in the background, something a

I’ve always hated mirrors.They show too much. Too honestly.But now—Now, I can't stop staring.The girl in the glass tilts her head. She’s beautiful in that haunting, aristocratic way. Rosie Miller’s beauty was always cold, like marble warmed by candlelight.And now… it’s mine. Mother did everything so that I look like her. The cheekbones took two surgeries. The lips were easy—subtle filler and muscle memory. I even learned how she blinked. Slowly. Like she knew the world would wait for her.I lean in, brushing a lock of black hair behind my ear, her signature habit. I trace the light scar at my neck. A perfect replica from her dead body.Rosie was always the star. The one with the spotlight in her eyes. The chosen daughter. The heir. The girl people died for.But she’s dead now.And I’m not.I trace the curve of my jaw with one finger, still bruised faintly under the skin where the bone was shaved. Months of healing. Years of training. Voice lessons. Diary entries memorized. Even

The wind clawed at the windows like it was trying to warn me. I stood at the edge balcony leaning against the railing. Below, the ocean was bathed in silver moonlight, still and too perfect. A lie, like everything else lately. The moon hung low tonight, pale and sharp-edged. Pearl would say it looked like a blade. My phone buzzed once on the table. The number flashed. Cale. I snatched it up. “Report.” “Sir,” he said, voice crisp, but edged with something else. Hesitation. “ I have the report .” The cold that slid through me wasn’t a surprise—it was confirmation. I said nothing. Just waited. “She’s not Rosie,” he continued. “… she’s not the one who died in that accident.” I closed my eyes. My chest didn’t rise. I was stone now. “I had to dig deep, sir. Most of the records were burned or erased, but a few medical files survived in private storage. Enough to run a sequence. And... it matched someone else.” “Who?” My voice came out hoarse, like it hadn’t been used in days. “He

Apollo whined softly as I knelt beside him, his blue eyes watching me with quiet protest. His paw pressed against the doorframe like he understood what it meant—that he couldn’t follow me past this point. “I know,” I whispered, running a hand gently down the sleek curve of his back. “I don’t like it either. " He nuzzled my wrist, and I swallowed hard. “I’ll be back after classes, then we'll go back home, alright? You’ll be safe here.” My voice sounded too sure. Like I was convincing myself more than him. He tilted his head, ears flicking at some distant sound, but stayed close—refusing to move from the doorway. “I have to go,” I said, brushing my thumb just under his chin, where the fur was softer. “You know the rules. No panther cubs allowed in Elite Garden’s holy halls.” my phone ringed again, I looked down it was Lucas calling me. " yes, I am coming. ” That almost earned a huff from him. Almost. I smiled down at him. " it's your dad, the classes are going to start
