After what felt like a lifetime Alfred and the cameramen went. Chloe who was standing there lost in thought, suddenly found her voice, grabbed my arm,

" You need to see the closet, Becca. It's really AWESOME. "

She then dragged me towards their closet. I avoided saying that I own a closet but, let her do what she wants. As always, I get lost among all the clothes inside the closet. When she opened the closet, my mouth dropped. It's just like the closet I used to have. Filled with dresses, necklaces, shoes and even makeup sets and every single thing, a professional model should have.

" Did you used to have one like this too?"

" Yeah. I liked everything inside. "

" I like them too. "

" I know.  I know. "

I was so obsessed with the beauty that I didn't hear, someone else coming in. Chloe nudged me and said suddenly,

" Umm.... I need to go out for a bit... umm.... to speak with Alfred... umm.... about the next modeling session. See ya later. "

Before I could literally stop her and tell, that Alfred already went, she ran out. I looked back to see her running and instead found Andrew standing near the door, dumbfounded. Probably because of Chloe's sudden departure.

Chloe...... youuuu..!!! I could easily see what she was planning. She must've seen Andrew entering.

But I was disturbed by my thoughts, when Andrew suddenly said,

" You shouldn't stop modeling, Rebecca. "

Oh yeah!! That's the last thing I wanted to hear. I didn't say a word of protest, as I knew that I'll most probably get mad at him for pointing out his opinion.
So instead I started admiring the necklaces. They really look beautiful. Original ones. Andrew walked towards me and I could hear his breath. I could feel my face's getting hot. If he moved a little bit closer our shoulders are going to touch.

" They are beautiful, aren't they? I'm actually surprised on how they keep maintaining these things. "

Like I don't know that already. 

I just nodded. But I suddenly asked something that kept popping out in my head, something that I shouldn't have asked. So I asked out of curiosity,

" Why do you keep staring at me, Andrew?"

Before I could even blush, Andrew covered half of his face, with his hand and I could clearly see he's blushing, which made me blush. Oh my gosh!!! I made the Prince Charming of Avalon High blush with just a question. This is definitely not good.... I could tell that he was surprised by my sudden question.

" Umm.... it's just...... I'm just... curious to know about the girl who literally scold me in the morning, ok?? Happy??? "

Curious?? About me?? When he said that I kept staring at his face, which is now few inches away from mine. I have to admit that he's so damn handsome.
Only then I saw that his eyes are blue, just like the sea. They looked really cute and cool at the same time. Not a surprise that he's a model. He can even be an actor.
Before I could say anything, he returned me the same question I asked him.

"  I'll return that question back to you, Rebecca. Why do you keep staring at me??"

I quickly glanced at his face, turned front and started walking deeper inside closet room, without looking back. I could hear his footsteps following me and he kept saying,

" Now now Rebecca, running away aren't we? ", he  chuckled and added,
" Now, don't you dare try to avoid my question."

When I didn't stop walking, I could hear him laughing and walking after me at the same time.
Gosh!!! This is so embarrassing. If I knew that he would return my question back to me, I would've never asked that question. This is sooo embarrassing ......

While I kept walking around the closet, praying that he'll get tired of following me. Suddenly the door creaked open again and Alfred came in followed by Yuki, Carter and Chloe, to whom I gave a death glare.

I thought Alfred left. But by the look of it, he's still here one piece, if the guy who's standing near the door is not his twin or someone. I stopped on my tracks for a second and started walking towards the door, while Andrew stood where he is. But before I could go out, Mr. Peterson came I followed by his wife, the madam and before I could go out they closed the door behind, which made me eventually stop.

I have no idea what to do without putting up a blank face on this awkward atmosphere. Finally Mr. Peterson found his voice,

" The reason why I want all of you here is to discuss something important. "

Before he could continue, I interrupted,

" But sir, what it's got to do with me? It's practically my very first day and you guys barely even know me and the same time I barely know you guys except Carter, Chloe and Alfred. "

Mr. Peterson gave me a small smile and said,

" I thought your mother told you about us, before you came to Avalona, dear. That's why me and my wife didn't try to explain anything. "

What's he talking about? Explain me what?

" Tell me what, exactly? "

This time it was madam who answered,

" Rebecca dear, I'm your mother's sister. The elder in fact. I left Illyria just after the day you were born, when I married John. "

What the heck?? I have an aunt?? Who's supposed be my mom's elder sister?? Whom I didn't know that existed until now??

" I'm really sorry about my impolite language, but what are you talking about madam??  How could you possibly be my mom's sister? She never  mentioned me about an elder sister of her's other than Aunt Meranda. "

" Of course she didn't. I told her not to as I had to cut all my ties with my family in order to come here and build up my own family. But Meg always kept in touch. "

Ok. This is ridiculous. Now I'm supposed to believe that mom lied to me?

" Your mom and I together with John and your father are past pupils of Avalon High. I was the one who told Meg to send you here after I heard about your accident. If we aren't here Meg would have never sent you to Avalona. "

I just said,

" You are kidding me right? "

But inside I knew she's telling the truth. It was mom's idea to sent me here in the first place. I didn't think about it at that time as I only wanted to go somewhere peaceful, away from reporters. How can I forget how she talked about her high school life? For us high school is just the replica of the university which other countries have. After high school we start working permanently.

" Becca, she's right. She's not lying. Your mom told us about those things herself in my last visit to Illyria. Even Carter knows too. "

When Chloe said that I felt hurt. They didn't tell me anything when they could've if they wanted to.

" You guys knew?? Why didn't you tell me?? "

" Rebecca dear, they were told not to tell you. Your mom didn't want to tell the world about you when your father....."

Then I lost the interest of the whole thing. But I just can't forget the fact that my mom lied to me.

Tell me what you guys think about this chapter 😃
