💠 Amber 💠

I scurried out of the cab as fast as I could and ran straight for the classroom building.

While running, my fingers are crossed that the tutorial teacher have not called out my name. I even hope the teacher have not reach the tutorial room.

When I got to the building, my memory failed me as to which tutorial class I was suppose to go.

Urgh. I quickly scroll through my photo album, in search for my timetable. With all those photos of subject notes/answers, it was challenging to find one photo.

Andrew : Blk 22, level 3, room 50!! Quick! He's here!!

God bless Andrew.

One text could literally save a person.

My legs are brought to maximum speed in order to arrive there in time.

There are a few students running in front of me and went into the room 50.

"I'm here!! Sir! I'm here!!" I screamed out when the door opened and the teacher's voice boom through the loud speaker.

I pulled open the door and immediately felt all the eyes are casted to my direction.

"S-sir, I'm here." I had difficulty controlling my breathing pace and beads of sweat started to form on my forehead.

"Amber Cadwell? You're late, again. Go find a seat, quietly." The teacher, Mr Brown, dismissed me curtly. Laughter was spread around the classroom as I made my way to my seat.

What's so funny?

I glared at one of my classmate pointing at me while snickering. His laughter was muted by me and gave me the finger. I raised my hand to return him the favour but was pulled over by my friend.

"Oww, Tyler!" I rubbed my forearm, Tyler's grip was really strong.

"Sleepy head, can't wake up?" Andrew lightly kicked the back of my chair.

"Mum said you left for school even before she's awake. Why so early?" I turned around to question my brother. I was mad at Andrew for ditching me, because we have this common class on Friday mornings. So, we have agreed to come to school together.

You might think I am being a brat, finding someone to blame for my own mistake. But, he could at least inform me beforehand.

"Sorry. Kimberly called me this morning, saying she wanted to meet."

"Oh right, girlfriend over sister. I get it. Thanks a bunch." I mumbled sarcastically and turn back to face the teacher.

I was taking out my laptop when Andrew's words finally sunk into my thick brain.

"Hold up, she wanted to meet you at six plus in the morning? Are the both of you crazy?" I probably asked that question a little too passionately.

My brother started to say something but was cut off by our teacher.

"Do you have a question about this topic, Ms Cadwell?" Mr Brown, pointed to the screen beside him.

"Um.. Nope."

"Alright, then please stop distracting other attentive students." Mr Brown, pursed his lips as he silently challenge me to defy him.

"Amber, you know he's not worth your saliva." Tyler whispered beside me.

"Sorry, other attentive students." Unable to hold in my temper, I shot him a sour answer.

Obviously, he could not be bothered with me.

I quickly login into my laptop and mouthed 'later' to my brother.
..................

"We'll end here today. Any questions pertaining to this topic?" Mr Brown, asked while clearing the table.

There was several students shaking their heads and he left the room.

Without packing up my things, I stood up to face my brother.

"You know what Am? Sometimes you've got to stop insulting Kimberly." Andrew shot me a glance while packing his stuff.

Both stunned and stung by my brother's words, my mouth was left hanging.

"An-" He just stood up and walked away, refusing to make eye contact.

"Hey, Amber?" Tyler was poking my shoulder but I was too mad to say anything. I simply grabbed my bag, laptop and ran to the door.

As I was about to pushed open the door, I turned around to look at Tyler.

"I'm fine." I pasted on a smile and exited the tutorial room.

My steps to the next class was reluctant and heavy because it's the same one as Kimberly. I did not hate Kimberly without any valid reason.

Kimberly is bad news for my brother. She kept on toying with my brother's feelings. The first time they broke up was because she cheated on him. The second time was because she claimed that he was not treating her well.

After two heart breaking break ups for my brother, he still accepted her whenever she came running back to him.

Without saying, my family are very frustrated and tried our best to help Andrew come to his senses.

However, Andrew is a stubborn guy. He refused to heed our advice.

Stubborn? That's a polite way of describing him. To put it bluntly, he's blind and stupid. Why couldn't he see that Kimberley has him wrapped around her fingers.

I hate the fact that Kimberly is able to manipulate my brother whenever and however she likes.

It's no secret Kimberly and I hated each other. I was so focused on my thoughts that I bumped into someone.

"Watch where you're going, bitch!" A familiar voice spurted out profanities.

Kimberly picked up her smartphone and I quickly gathered my things to grab onto her arm.

"Hey! Are you taking up too much of Andrew's time?"

Kimberly's eyes widened because she realised who she had just called a bitch. But, anger flashed past her eyes when she snapped out of her daze.

"What the frick does that have to do with you? You're just his twin sister." Kimberly yanked back her arm.

I laughed out loud without a trace of humour.

"At least I'm related to him, but you're not! Lately, I've noticed that he's been neglecting his school work. He's never like that."

What happened next, was not what I have expected. Kimberly raised her hand and slapped hard right across my face. Instantly, the metallic taste of blood flowed to my tongue. I curled up my fists, ready to punch into Kimberly's smug face.

"Amber! No!" My best friend, Isabella, pulled me back.

"Bella! Let go of me! This wretch deserves a good beating!" I pried off Isabella's hands with the intention to slap off the smirk on Kimberly's face.

"Amber Cadwell!" Just as my fist was about to reach Kimberly, my brother ran to stand between us. I nearly could not stop in time. My fist was merely inches away from Andrew's face.

"Andrew Cadwell! What the hell are you doing here?!" I let out a breath of relief when I did not accidentally punch my brother.

"Please don't cause anymore trouble. I apologise on behalf of Kimberly." Guilt was written all over of Andrew's handsome face.

I immediately softened as he is afterall my twin brother.

"Why do I have to be apologetic? This b- I mean Amber provoked me first!" Kimberly gave Andrew an incredulous look.

I just stood there, with my eyes shooting out fire aiming at Kimberly.

"Huh. What a liar." I muttered under my breath, loud enough for those near me to hear.

Kimberly suddenly reached out to grab me but was stopped by Andrew.

"Enough!" Andrew hissed in anger and Kimberly instantly became quiet.

As Andrew let her into the classroom, Kimberly turned to say.

"See? You can't touch me." Kimberly pointed to my bleeding lips and smirked.

My temper simply snapped at that sentence. I charged forward to kick Kimberly in the ass, literally.

Kimberly screamed out in shock as she stumbled forward. Don't worry, she did not fall flat on her face. My brother managed to catch her before that.

Kimberly growled like a furious animal and sprung towards me.

"Kim! She's my sister!"

Andrew shouted and hugged an enraged Kimberly from attacking me.

"What's going on in here?" Mrs White, our lecturer squeezed through the growing crowd with a frown.

Kimberly calmed down in my brother's arms as she gave me a deadly glare.

I could not be bothered with her and walked into the lecture hall as if nothing happened.

Andrew explained that it was all a misunderstanding. He left the lecture hall after making sure Kimberly and I are not sitting near each other.

When I was taking out my notes, my wrist felt empty. I froze in shock when my bracelet was not where it should be.

"Bella. Was I wearing my bracelet when I argued with Kimberly?" The anxiousness in my voice could not be missed.

Isabella thought for a moment and shook her head lightly.

"Oh dear. That's the bracelet your father gave you right?" Bella asked as she remembered.

I nodded and ran outside to check if I have dropped there. But, I could not see it anywhere. After class, Bella accompanied me to the tutorial room to find my bracelet.

In the end, I slumped down on the chair and tried not to let the tears fall. My bracelet is officially missing.
