“What exactly did you do?” Caleb's mother inquired. She was enraged that her son had done something to cause the poor girl to flee. “I um... I,” Caleb sighed after taking a deep breath. He couldn't bring himself to respond to the question. Olivia has been missing because of him for God knows how long. He didn't have any choice but to tell them the truth. So he told them everything. “Caleb, for the love of God, stop assuming things. I am highly disappointed with you. I never imagined a day when you, of all people, would let me down.” With that, his mother stormed out of the room. But his father sat beside him. “Caleb, not everyone on this planet is like your brother. Yes, indeed! He did unacceptable things. But in the end, he is not a bad person. I'd just say he chose the wrong path. And somewhere along the way, our upbringing was flawed.” With that, his dad, too, left. Caleb went downstairs after a few moments to find his mother pacing in the living room and his father on the phon

Everything was blurry when Olivia opened her eyes. Her head was a little dizzy, and she was suffering from a severe headache. However, when her vision cleared after about five minutes, she saw that she was surrounded by Eliana, William, and, surprisingly, Caleb. “How are you doing, my dear?” Eliana asked her. “Fine, I guess.” She shrugged as if it was nothing. She had previously fainted but had no one to care for her. So she had always woken up alone, having to take care of herself and tend to herself. After William checked her, Eliana went downstairs to cook something for her. “How did I get here?” She wondered to herself. Caleb’s voice startled her. “We got you here. You were unconscious back at that old house.” Oh my goodness!! Eliana and William would have undoubtedly discovered her there. How could she have been so oblivious? So much for her escape plan. “I should have looked for a better place.” She thought to herself. “And get me in more trouble?” Caleb listened, even t

Olivia was looking in the mirror when she noticed a girl with green eyes staring back at her. She was fair-skinned. Things have changed dramatically in the last four years. Livy used to be a happy-go-lucky girl before the whole thing went downhill. Her eyes used to be bright green and twinkled, and her skin used to glow but no longer does. Those happy times in her life had passed her by. She sighed deeply. She misses her old life and wishes she could relive all of the happiness and good times. She wishes to reclaim her happy family. However, not all dreams come true. “May I come in, Honey?” Eliana spoke as she stood at the door to her room. “Of course,” Olivia says. She smiled at her with a tight grin. “How do you feel right now?” “All right, thank you.” “Good. I was thinking, do you want to go shopping before your school starts tomorrow?” “No, thank you, Eliana. I have all the clothes I require. I bought it with my mom about a month ago.” She lowered her gaze. Despit

Olivia got up early to get ready for school. She was surprisingly calm about returning to school here. She wore skinny black jeans and a red full-sleeve check-shirt today. She donned her hair in a ponytail with two strands of hair dangling from it and a bang that covered a portion of her eyes. She applied black eyeliner and a baby pink lip gloss. She paired her outfit with white sneakers. She took her bag and went downstairs once she was satisfied with her appearance. Eliana and William complimented her as she entered the kitchen, and Caleb was enthralled. She can't blame him because she didn't make a good first impression and knew she wasn't a bad-looking person. Caleb was taken aback when he first saw Olivia. He had no idea she'd look this good. Yes, he thought she was cute, but she looked nothing like she did when she came into his life. Caleb had noticed Olivia always wore baggy clothes for the past week. But, this was the first time he saw her dressed normally. Caleb and Olivi

The first two lectures went in a blur for Olivia. Sure, there was lots of whispering during the class, making her squirm as no one expected her to be back. But, since morning, Sia and Mason have been with her. Even Caleb had to be with her because of his best friends, as Sia and Mason were Olivia's long-lost pals as well. The third lecture was about to begin, and Olivia was very excited about it. She was sitting next to Caleb, with Sia and Mason in front of her. “Prof. Drake is one of the best teachers here. And he is a real eye-catcher. You are going to love him.” Sia squealed as she told her. “Trust me, Livy. He is nothing special.” Mason said, rolling his eyes. “Shut up, Mason. Livy, you are going to love him, believe me.” Sia glared at Mason. “If you say so,” Olivia said, a mischievous glint in her eyes that Caleb didn't miss. He'd never seen Olivia like this before. Soon their banter was interrupted by the entrance of Prof. Drake, who would be their Literature teacher. He wa

Olivia went to her locker to keep her books after receiving little comfort from Drake. She was about to leave for the library when Sia grabbed her arm and dragged her to the cafeteria. “I still can't believe you know Prof. Drake.” Sia gushed to her long-lost best friend. All four of them were sitting at the table in the canteen. “It's not that big of a deal. He used to be a substitute teacher at my old school, as he mentioned in class.” She shook her head casually. “Whatever it is. But the look on Jenna's face was hilarious when you and Prof. Drake were flirting. Jenna always tried to do that, but he never retaliated back.” Mason told her. Olivia was about to reply to Mason when she noticed two familiar faces who had been close to her as best friends and with whom she had a special bond. “It's great to see you back, Livy.” Stella and Zack exchanged a sad smile. “It's great to see you all again.” She replied to them. Stella and Zack went in separate directions to sit with their fr

Olivia was slowly coming to her senses. She tried to sit up and opened her eyes, but she couldn't. She noticed Drake coming towards her to help her sit on the bed. “What happened to me?” Olivia asked in confusion. He explained, “You went into shock, which caused you to blackout.” “Am I in the emergency room?” She inquired. “Yes.” “Okay.” Olivia tried to get up to attend the rest of the lecture, but Drake stopped her. “Olivia, you have already missed one lecture, and with only one more to go, you might as well take a break and explain what the hell happened back there.” Olivia was hesitant to follow his request, but she knew she needed to tell someone. Drake and Jiggy were the only people who knew the whole truth about her, which is why she felt so at ease with them. Olivia told him everything from the moment she stepped into Rosewood until now. “I still can't believe it.” Drake couldn't say anything. “I don't blame Sia and Mason for being upset. For the past three years, I hav

Olivia was walking down the road, lost in her thoughts, when a car pulled up beside her, causing her to shriek. When she looked to her side, she saw Caleb sitting in the driver’s seat, looking at her with soft eyes. “Olivia, get in the car.” He told her softly, although it was no less than an order. “No, thank you; I am fine walking.” She told him sternly as she continued down the road. “Stop being stubborn and get in the car. We are going to the same place, so it's pointless to go separately.” He stated the obvious. “Look, Caleb. What you are trying to do is unnecessary; Okay! And as it is, I am not going to your house.” She stated. “Wait! What do you mean? Where are you going?” He questioned, puzzled and intrigued. “For work.” Olivia's words astounded him. She took his words seriously. “I will drop you off there.” “I am not going to get high if that's what you are looking for.” She snapped at him. “I didn't mean in that way. Come on, Livy. Get in the car. I am going to drop
