☠EDITED☠

Decided to update, cause I can.

Hayden's POV:

I huff as I step off the last step and enter the kitchen.

"Oh! Hayden, you look wonderful!" My mom, gushes.

I look past her at Evan and he grins, "Gorgeous, baby sister."

I grin and nod, "You too, Evan."

Eric walks up behind my mom. "Ready, guys?"

"Mom, you never told me he'd be here." I scoff, angrily. He is not apart of this family, why is he even here?

"Hayden." My mom hisses.

"Sorry." I mutter as Eric glares at me evilly.

"Let's just go and get this over with." Evan says, grabbing my hand and pulling me out the door to the car.

I step out of the car and Evan follows behind me, and mom and Eric are in front of us.

"What are these for?" I ask.

But she ignores my question and says, "Come on, guys! Head on in. Remember to do what the photographer says and be kind."

I see a flash go off as Mikayla groans, "Hayden! Look like you're happy to be here!"

"And if I'm not?"

My mom shoots me a glare as she laughs, "Then pretend you are, darling."

I stand next to my mom and Evan as I place a fake smile on my face, the flash goes off and Mikayla claps. "Yes, yes! Perfect. Can I have a single photo of each of you, Hayden and Evan together, then Martha and Eric together?"

My mother nods, "Of course, Mikayla."

"Okay, Martha, you first." Mikayla demands, looking into the lens as my mother places a hand on her hip and smiles.

When we get through everyone's single shots, and mom's and Eric's photo, she calls Evan and I. Evan places a hand around my hip and I place my head on his shoulder, "Hold it!" She claps when the photo is taken and grabs her coat, "Okay, we're done. They'll be ready by Thursday."

"Thank you, Mikayla."

"My pleasure, Martha."

*Thursday*

As I walk up the sidewalk to school, the girl on my first day who called my outfit trash, stops me. "Hey, Hayden. I know I was really rude and harsh that first day. And I'm really sorry. Forgive me? I really think we could be friends."

"Um, sure?" I raise an eyebrow, where did this come from?

"I'm Hailey, by the way."

"Okay. Bye, Hailey." I mumble, running the rest of the way to school.

That was...weird?

As I sit down in language arts, Jasmine turns around angrily, "Why the hell didn't you tell me you had a hot brother?"

"Excuse me?" I ask, confused. I never told her I had a brother. She scoffs and pulls out her phone, showing me an article. My eyes skim over it, and I see the photo from our photo shoot. My heart races as I read the title.

"Million Dollar Family!"

I feel nauseous, my mom is showing off what we have. The exact thing Evan and I didn't want to happen.

"You have a hot brother, and are the richest people here. Why didn't you tell me?" She furrows her eyebrows.

"Um, no, no. It's just I wanted a new start, not to be known as rich. People use you for it. It's nothing against you, Jas. I'm sorry for not telling you."

"No, no. I understand."

I breathe out, "Thanks." I'm going to kill my mom.

So Hayden's worst fear of people knowing she has money is out.

And if you don't understand why she was afraid, it's the fact people act different around you when they know how much you have. They use you for things you have, etc.
