Dorm mate. 

Have you ever felt lost? Or alone in a room full of people you know? I caress the fabric of my baby blue dress scanning the room for Bridgett who had promised me that she would accompany me along with the gang to my sister's annual entrance party. I scan the room hoping to catch a sight of the boy who had captured my heart.

My heart skipped a beat as my gaze landed on the notorious badboy, Xavier Blaze. It took all my self strength to tear my gaze away from his magical  blue eyes which were now an aqua blue. I spin around when I see him walking towards me. I needed a good place to hide, I walk up the marble staircase and towards my room. The rooms upstairs were off limits, so no one would come here and everyone was busy partying downstairs so no one would even bother. 

I walk towards my room as I see the left wing of the house illuminated. That's strange no one should be there. My dads study was there and it was off limits even for me. What was going on? Did someone break in? My parents were out for the night, so who was there? I tip toe towards his study 'No', My conscience warns me. I hesitate, I have to go and look. 'Stop Brooklyn', the little voice in my head tells me. I ignore it and press my ear against the study door. My heart skips a beat at the words I hear. My father was in the study with another man. I could hear their muffled voices. 

"I think we should tell her", I make out my dads muffled words.

 Tell who and what?

"Oliver, that won't be a good idea, she's still too young", the other guy responds. 

Were they talking about Nora, she was the youngest? 

"Its her first year at A-List Academy, what if she find out the truth?", My dad says.

They were talking about me! But why? What shouldn't I find out? Was there something I didn't know? Was this what Heath claimed to know about me? 

"That Blaze boy is her room mate, what if he tells her the truth before we can. That would cause chaos", My dad argues. 

What did Xavier know about me that I didn't?

"Look on the bright side, Oliver. She won't believe a word he says."

"How do we know for sure?"

"If Max finds out that we took her, he'll kill us!"

"Well he'll kill you, not me", My dad exclaims. 

Who is Max? Why would he kill my dad? 

I press my ear against the door to hear more of their conversation. 

"How long am I going to pretend to be her sister", A far too familiar voice speaks. Nora!

How was she involved in this? Did Noelle and the others know about this. 

"She has my siblings wrapped around her little fingers. Next it will be Xavier and even my Austin doesn't give me the time of day. Ever since she came along. Ugh. I hate her."

Nora, this isn't the Nora I knew. The Nora I knew would never do this. The Nora I knew was funny, crazy and understanding. The Nora I know loves me and cares for me. Why were they talking about me? Why did my own sister hate me so much?

This can't be happening. I silently walk towards my room again. These people were my family but they hated me so much. Why? What had I done to them? Who was Max? Did I know him? I'm consumed in my thoughts with tears streaming down my cheeks as I bump into a wall. 

Wait, I don't recall a wall being situated her. I make out the blurry outline of a figure and an unfamiliar smell of mint and pine fills my nostrils. "Get out of my way", I sob out. 

"That's so unlike you, Brynn", Another familiar voice says. 

The last person I wanted to see, stands right in front of me. Could this day get any worse. 

"Just leave me alone Xavier", I snap and to my surprise he wraps his arms around me pulling me into his muscular chest.

"I said, let go of me", I struggle in his tight embrace. 

"You know you don't have to fight it, dorm mate. Everyone knows that no girl can resist me, so why don't you just give in?"

"No girl in the right mind would ever fall for you."

"Gee, you do like to hit sore spots don't you."

"Just get lost, you're the last person I want to see right now", I muffle out from in between sobs. 

"Why so much hostility?"

"You claim to know me better then myself and I thought it was just a lie, and all along you were right. I'm sorry for judging you. I want to know the truth. Everything about my past, present and future. The things I don't know. Just tell me Xavier", I plead as I stare into his gorgeous blue eyes. They were filled with concern and pain not the arrogance his voice contained. 

"I-I'm-I can't", He loosens me from his embrace as he steps away from me. One minute he's so kind and caring and the next minute he's hostile, bitter, emotionless and secretive. He's so bipolar its driving me insane. 

"Did they tell you to keep secrets from me", I yell out in sobs. 

"Whose they?", He asks just confused as me.

"Never mind. I got to go", I back away from him as I walk into my room. 

There are so many secrets in the air that its suffocating me. Why was everyone hiding things from me? First my dad and Nora, then Heath and now Xavier. What did everyone claim to know about me which I didn't. Who was this mysterious Max and who could I trust. Austin, Tori, Bridgett, the twins. What if their parents were all involved in this conspiracy. 

I had to find out the truth. I have to know, but who can I trust?
