Olivia has been doing much better in the two weeks since her breakdown. Although she suspected Caleb was aware of it because she wasn’t used to his concerned stares. When Sia and Mason asked why she had abandoned them, she gave the same reason she had given to Caleb. She kept a good balance between Mason, Sia, Caleb and Stella, and Zack during these two weeks. She wanted to yell at Jenna, but all three of them knew it would be pointless. Stella was doing better than before. Today, Olivia wanted to talk to Zack about Caleb. Yesterday, Caleb was again fussing about Zack’s cold behaviour. So she went to Zack’s locker, and Stella accompanied her. “Hey Olivia, you want to talk to me about something?” Zack asked her. “Yes, what’s the deal with you and Caleb?” She questioned him. “I don’t know what you are talking about.” “Stop pretending, Zack. Even I know what Olivia is talking about.” Stella told him. “Look, I am sorry. It’s just...” He continued after taking a deep breath. “When

“Are you ready, Olivia?” Eliana asked her, peeking from the door. “I am, Eliana.” She addressed her godmother. Eliana was taken aback when she saw Olivia dressed as she was. “Olivia, what are you wearing? It's a party, that to your high school party. It is not a casual hangout with your friends.” “I know, Eliana. It's just I don't want to dress up, and this is comfortable.” She tried to explain it to her. Eliana sighed and dragged Olivia up to a mirror. “Olivia, take a look at yourself; is this you? Real Olivia would have worn this in your school last year of your high school party?” Olivia looked in the mirror as a result of this. What she saw was not a familiar face looking at her but rather the polar opposite of her. Her previous self would never have worn this to a party, with black jeans and a simple plain top. No accessories, just a lot of makeup to hide her true face. Instead of boots or heels, wear sneakers. “I am not looking to draw attention to myself. As it is, I am

“Is there going to be some kind of performance?” Olivia inquired, pointing to the stage in front of her, decked out with musical instruments. “Olivia, how could you possibly forget? Don't you remember the annual inter-school band competition?” Sia exclaimed. How could Olivia have forgotten about the annual band competition? This competition features various schools competing for the title. The best of best bands take part in it. It has been a tradition at the school. The band who will be taking part in the competition will perform at this party. Unfortunately, her school never won this competition, but it never stopped them from trying again and again. She cast a glance at Stella and Zack as she reflected on the competition. It also reminded her of someone from her previous school. She sighed and gulped down the entire glass of coke in one gulp. “Take it easy, their girl.” Mason patted her on the back. Caleb noticed a difference in her behaviour. “I really hope our school wins t

Olivia closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and sang, but not for herself. The theme of the song is slow and melodic. (Olivia) I can't presume To know what you think I can't assume How you feel. I can’t begin to think What you might have gone through But do know that I am here Always for you. Zack comes forward towards the stage, joining Olivia, which makes her open her eyes. (Zack) Let people say Whatever they want If you want Fight back Or don’t retaliate at all Even Stella comes to stand beside Zack and allows the words to flow out of her mouth. (Stella) Because I am not going to stand still And not react at all Stella was playing the synthesizer, and Zack was playing the drums. Come forward Or don’t move at all Cause I will walk towards you And move forward with you. Take hold of my hand Clasp onto it tightly Don’t let it go Cause I won’t let you go Never let you go Just be with me Just be around us Because your presence is just not en

Olivia got up in the morning, dressed, and went downstairs for breakfast. Eliana was preparing a morning snack while William sat at the dining table reading the newspaper. “Morning, Eliana and William.” She smiled as she greeted them. “Good morning, sweetie.” They both returned her greeting. “How was yesterday's party? You two returned pretty early.” She asked her. “It was good,” Olivia said softly while setting plates on the table. Meanwhile, Caleb came towards them, sitting on a chair. “It was better than good. Olivia finally made Jenna take a step back and showed her the right place. You know, Jenna challenged her to sing in front of everyone, and Olivia and her band made her mouth shut. Look at the video.” Olivia became tense when the video was mentioned. “Video?” She asked. “Yes, a few of the students shot your video, and it’s gone viral.” He informed her. Caleb was ecstatic for an unknown reason. He was overjoyed. “This is fantastic, Olivia.” Eliana praised her. “Eliana

Olivia approached Caleb, grabbed the cushion, and smacked him with it. “What the hell, Olivia?” Caleb was irritated and yelled at her. Olivia didn't care that Eliana and William were staring at her; she kept hitting him with it as hard as she could. “Why the hell are you hitting me, God?” He asked her again, this time while pointing daggers at her. “So, what are you expecting me to do? You are one of the biggest knuckleheads ever. How can you abandon your brother in such a way? Without having even heard his side of the story.” She screamed at him. When Olivia mentioned his brother, Caleb became enraged. “You better stay out of this matter, Olivia.” He told her firmly, his anger visible in his voice. “No, I won't. I will not let your rage tear your family apart. Carson clearly loves you all and deserves a second chance.” “Yes, I see. My dearest brother told you about what he did in the past that ruined his and our lives. That's fantastic. You two will make good friends, if not a

“Thank God! I found you here.” Ryan tells her as he approaches her and embraces her in a hug. “Ryan, what are you doing here?” She asked him. “Well, there was this workshop...” But Olivia cut him off. “Stop with the bullshit. We both know how much you despise this type of workshop.” “One of your neighbours told me you moved here; I tried calling you several times. But you didn’t pick up, so I had no choice but to sign up for this stupid workshop.” He justified himself. Jenna abruptly spoke, capturing the attention of the entire cafeteria. “Hello, guys. So, you see, we have the winners of the interschool band competition ‘The Fire and Ice.’ We let them leave our school grounds without performing for us, which is unacceptable. So Ryan, Xavier, and Brad will you please perform for us?” “Um, sure.” He replied. Musical instruments were set up in preparation for their performance. Even the teachers and principal were present for their live performance, as were several other students.

It was Friday. Olivia got ready for school and walked instead of taking her car. “Do you mind if I join you?” Caleb asked. In response, she shrugged. Things were still tense between them, and even in the house, things were spiced up. He couldn’t bring himself to apologize to Olivia. Instead, they made their way silently to school. Olivia was pushed before the lecture could begin, causing her to land on her back on the locker. Olivia exclaimed, “What the hell?” “Shit! Are you okay, Olivia?” Caleb dashed towards her, inspecting her for injuries. “Shut up, bitch. How dare you? I was supposed to go to the competition, and you took it from me.” Jenna shouted at her. “It was a fair game, Jenna,” Caleb replied on Olivia's behalf. “Caleb, stop defending Olivia. She is nothing but a piece of shit.” She told him. “Stop bad-mouthing about her,” Caleb told her firmly. Olivia was taken aback to see Caleb defending her. Further, Jenna had gotten a lot of attention. “Caleb, please. You al
