Chapter one
Anna's POV
I understand that nobody likes me but why is nature harsh on me too, The sun stare at my face and burn me with no pity, I wonder what crime my ancestors have committed but seriously all thanks to that old man who called himself my dad.
He do say business is timing but he never come Early to pick me up, maybe I'm not just a part of his business. I sighed as I close the novel in my hand, I spread my arms on the bench and stretch my legs, anyone would say I was relaxing but I have just surrender my self for the sun to burn.
I thought I'm the only one left in school untill I sighted Jordan,
" Argh, what the heck is this nerd doing over here" I muttered bitterly.
He is my classmate and apart from being pudgy, I hate that he ask too much questions and right now I'm not in the mood to engage in silly conversation. I closed my eyes and feigned to be asleep, I counted his steps as he walk towards me.
"Hey beauty, are you sleeping" his croaky voice echoed in my ear as he finally stood before me.
"I know you are not sleeping, just wake up" he screamed into my ear
"Why are you always like this" I replied harshly and my acting was finally over, he bursted into laughter which annoy me more
" I knew it" he screamed
" You were not sleeping" he took his Position beside me...
" Jeez" I stamped my fist on my palm
" Why did your dad always pick you up late" he questioned
" Why did you never mind your business" I replied with a question, he was sitting very close to me, I sat properly and put my bag between us
" You should be happy, the giant of this school Is conversing with you" his confidence was obvious in his voice and I bursted into laughter.
" Hello, tom cat" I snapped
" Your giant will soon be slayed by me the jack" I replied and he stared at me for some minute
" Did you just call me tom cat" he became furious
" You heard me right" my dad car was already parked before us
" You will pay for this" his word seem serious but I know he is just the type that can't even hurt an insect.
" Bye tom cat" I mocked him and entered my dad's car.
"Is that your boyfriend" my dad asked
" Boyfriend? Eww, that Tom cat" I answered inside of me but Ignored him , he really have to pay for picking me late.
" You are only allowed to have a boyfriend when you turn eighteen" he looked at me hoping to read my face but I kept it all blank.

I tried to find my balance on the thorn I stood on, my whole body is covered with blood and pains punched me right in the eye, I tried to take a step forward but my weak bones pushed me backward, I couldn't continue the journey, I sat down and rested my back on a tree filled with ants, I don't care if I will get bitten, I've been through so much pains...I'm sure it will be nothing.
Slowly, my vision got dimmed and within a twinkle of an eye , a figure was standing right in my front,
" Who are you" I managed to say
His body was filled with ears and eyes and It was hard to figure out how I was been looked , two horns sat closely to each other on his head, he opened his mouth to make a sound which was followed by little fire. He moved toward me and fear freezed My heart, he has a wound in his hand which maggots have decided to host a feast on...
" Who are you" I asked again but he did not say a word...he just keep walking towards me , I look around for refugee but I'm helpless just the way I have always been. He finally close the gap within us and he grabbed my neck, this made me scream and bring back to reality.
" Josephine we are home" he said as he halt his car in the front our house. Josephine is the name I got from him because of my frequent dreams, sometimes I love it and most time it sucks. I got down from the car feeling tired , I took my steps slowly as walked towards the main building, not because I'm tired but there is alot running on my mind.
