When dad left the Principal introduced me to Miss Da Vinco who was apparently my geography teacher and since it was time for the geography lesson l walked with her to class and boy was l nervous.The teacher looked sweet and she even treated me kindly but one thing l had learnt so far is that looks can be deceiving ,so l couldn't trust her kind nature until l got to know her."Class meet the new student " l didn't even notice we had reached the class until l noticed people staring at me."Introduce yourself " the teacher said looking at me expectantly and l nodded looking back at the students ""Hi l am Rosabella De-Luca" l said softly and l heard gasps throughout the whole class."So you're not a myth" a boy said but l didn't notice which one."What" l said because l didn't understand what he meant."What he means is that we've all heard about the De-Luca princess but we've never met her or seen her anywhere " another girl said but l honestly didn't have an answer to what she said.Wh
The strange looks continued the whole time and at lunch l was exhausted at having to hide my head so that people couldn't see me.When we reached the cafeteria Cora introduced me to her friends Sergio and Mallory who were just as kind as she is but Mallory couldn't get over the fact that l was 'The" De Luca princess and l was sitting at their table."God l still can't believe that we've not only met the De Luca princess but she's also sitting right next to us" she said fanning herself and we laughed at her craziness."Chill dude" Sergio said in an American accent."Uhm are you seeing what am seeing " she said poking his face.There was some sort of chemistry brewing between these two and you could feel it.Sergio couldn't keep his eyes of Mallory and she hanged on to every word he said."Yeah dude chill" l said holding her hand."That's how it's done Sergio, not your horse accent " Cora said to him."l've lived in America so l've grown used to the accent " l said looking at him assuri
l finished the rest of my lunch in my next class though l was the only one but l was hoping to see Alexa and find out how Ronan and his family are treating her but l didn't so l spent my lunch in peace and quiet.When the lunch bell rang people started coming in and making noise. l tried to make myself invisible so that they wouldn't notice me and look at me strangely but as always l didn't have much luck."So what has the beautiful princess sitting alone here" l snapped my head to look at the face of that voice and boy. Standing in front of is a handsome boy with the most beautiful green eyes l have ever seen.l look at him deeply and surprisingly he does it too. Blue to green and green to blue. We snap away from each other due to a cough and l can't help the blush that taints my cheek.l can imagine how pink they are right now."Rosabella we wanted to apologize " Sergio says looking at the boy in front of me waringly. Sergio seems to be the one who coughed, damn him for ruining the m
When l got home l was tired but nonna wouldn't let me pass without giving her all the juiciest information as she calls it.Today was a not so bad day though because l made knew friends 'even though we sort of fought and made up on the first day'.l couldn't get Killian and his green eyes out of my mind though. There was just something about his but l can't put my finger on it."Did you meet any cute boys" nonna said still on a quest to get every single detail about my first day at school. As much as l loved her and could share about anything with her, a Killian was little a forbidden memory l wasn't ready to share with her or anybody else."No boys for this angel of mine" nonno said standing behind me holding my shoulders and l laughed at his protectiveness but nonna seemed least impressed."You are going to have to let her go" she said looking dead serious but nonno ignored her like she was joking or talking a about something impossible."That is impossible madre" dad said joining us
"Am sorry they ruined your day" nonna said stroking my hair softly and l sighed. She came to my room after l left the living room in a fit of anger. l was laying my head on her lap while she was soothing me."Am not upset at them really" l said thinking out loud. My brothers had a way of getting in my nerves but usually it was just a playful banter but for so,e reason today l took it too personally."You developed a crush" she said looking at me thoughtfully and l just nodded. l like Killian the very second l saw him and if just bothered me that my brothers knew him and that obviously means that they won't want me anywhere near him."Yeah but it's fine because it's not like he likes me as well or anything, l mean what's to like about me anyway "l said starring into space but nonna pulled my face to look at her."What's not to like about you" she said holding my chin and l smiled."You're my grandma so you're supposed to say that" l said but l shook her head repeatedly."You're the mos
A week after dad sort of told me of l made sure to avoid him and my brothers. You could cut the tension in the whole house and it just what l wanted. l wanted them to burn with regret and seeing how miserable they looked ,it worked like a charm.On the other hand school was the best. Having friends and just seeing new people everyday was fun and refreshing though Alexandra hadn't attended since the day l started and l wasn't honestly sure if it's because of that psycho family or she was trying to stay away from me.l wouldn't put it past that crazy family to have done anything to her but as much as it bothered me l still couldn't bring myself to talk to brothers about it and am sure they've been keeping tabs on her like they do me.So if there was anything concerning they would have probably sorted it out.Throughout this whole week l became stalker obsessed with Killian though. l researched and asked every single detail about him and it made my little group of friends laugh like l wa
When l got home l was surprised to see the whole family in the living room but since l wasn't talking to them l made sure to mumble a soft hello then continued my way to my room."Bella come sit" dad said and l shrugged and settled on an empty sit but l kept my mouth shut. l was tired of being treated like a child.l just wanted them to give me chance to live my life without them on my case every time."What do you want from us ,l don't remember anything we said and did that day that warrants the silent treatment that you've been giving us" "If it's about boys though then trust me l would rather you be angry at us than have you heartbroken or better yet pregnant "Elonzo concluded."Well since you have it all figured out then fine ,may l be excused "l said looking at dad but he seemed confused at my reaction.l don't think that they understand that what l don't want is them suffocating me.Yes l have a crush on Killian but it would have been nice if they hadn't humiliated me just becaus
l was giddy when we arrived at the Ivanov mansion but l couldn't express my thoughts to my crazy brothers. The mansion was more like a castle. Glass walls ,big chandeliers and there were people everywhere. Till date l hadn't seen a house bigger than ours and it was shocking because they were a family of 3.Fallon looked different tonight and l noticed her before she could see me. She looked like someone l could recognize in myself before l got out of my shell. She followed her brother everywhere and you could tell being around people made her nervous.Dad kept introducing me to his business acquaintances but l wasn't least bothered. In fact l didn't even think about Killian or look at him because my mind was on Fallon. If l could somehow get out of my shell then l was determined to make sure that Fallon did the same.Lost in my thoughts l didn't even notice that we were in front of the Ivanov family. l felt arms being wrapped around me and l turned my attention to my friend who was be
