Amelia's POV The bell rings and Sylvester and I shut our laptops. "Are you free after school to work on the presentation?" He asks. "I guess... We can practice presenting in the courtyard if you want?" I ask, packing up my things."Don't sound so glum Amelia. You get to spend even more time with the Sylvester Black." He says. "Yay..." I say unenthusiastic. "You wound me." He says, shaking his head. I laugh and we separate for our next class. At the end of the day, I say goodbye to Lily and head to the courtyard.I pick a table, under a tree so we have shade. A few minutes later, I hear someone plop across from me. I jump with surprise, and take out my headphones. "You scared me." I say, putting my phone away.He hands me a bag of chips and I smile. "In case we get hungry." He says."Aww thank you!" I say, opening the bag. How did he know I was hungry?"Did you memorize your part?" He asks, opening his laptop. "Yep, you?" I ask."Of course." He says smirking. I roll my eyes and
Amelia's POV Today's the last day to present, so Sylvester and I volunteer first. "Better to be first so no one will remember it by the end of class." I say. "Everyone's going to remember ours, I'm famous." He says smirking.I laugh and shake my head. "Means you can't mess up then. No pressure." His smirk drops from his face, and I hold in a laugh. "Don't say that! Now I feel pressure." "Relax. You'll do fine, we practiced for hours." I say. We walk up to the front, and the teacher pulls up our slides. I start speaking and Sylvester puts his game face on. Aww he's actually cute... Haha no.We finish after 5 minutes, and I smile. "We made the time requirement." I whisper, when we walk back to our desks. "Good, I feel like it was obvious we were talking slow." He says laughing. "Everyone's going to do that, so we'll be okay." I say."I had fun working with you." He says. "Who wouldn't? I'm the best at presentations." I say, flipping my hair. "But for real, thank you for being a
Amelia's POV "What do you think?" Lily asks, showing me her outfit, a red sequin gown with slit at the back."Cute and simple." I say."Just what I was going for." She says."You want me to do your eyeliner?" I ask. "Yes please! I envy your steady hands." She says."We can't all be talented I guess." I say smirking. Once I'm done helping her, I change in her bathroom.I put my hair up and put on a plain black hat. I step out and ask, "Incognito? Regular person hiding behind a hat." "Love it! He's on his way, so you should get going." She says, handing me her car keys. I head outside, and back out of her driveway. I stay inside the car, and wait for Lily and her date to arrive.10 minutes later, I spot them near the entrance, and realize her date is Jase. I was not expecting that... A few minutes later, I step into the restaurant. I look for Lily, and see her near a window. When I look around for an empty table, I spot someone familiar in the corner. I walk towards him and see hi
Amelia's POV After an early morning shift, I go to the grocery store to buy food for Cassy's party. After I use Cassy's credit card, I walk back to Esmeralda's house. I'm so fucking tired. My legs hurt and I'm hungry! I step into Esmeralda's house, and see Cassy pacing in the living room. She looks up from her phone and says, "After you cook all that, prepare the movie snacks." "Yes your highness." I mutter under my breath. I organize all my ingredients, and start cooking. An hour later, Esmeralda comes down. She looks hungover, but grabs her car keys."Don't mess up Cassy's party, or I'll take your phone." She says, walking towards the garage. An hour later, I finish cooking. I set them up on a buffet table, and grab the snacks. I start pouring them into bowls, and eating any that don't make it. I grab all the drinks, and put them in a large ice cooler. Cassy walks in, inspecting my work. "Not bad." She comments. "Did you vacuum the main rooms?" She asks. "I was just about t
Amelia's POV I wake up to my alarm, and quickly turn off the annoying noise. I immediately get ready for school, and take a quick shower.I exit my room, and walk towards Esmeralda house. It's dead silent, so I know everyone is still sleeping. Wish I could get an extra 30 minutes... Treating you like a maid every damn day. Not like I have a choice... They let me stay here and she has control over my bank account, until my birthday. August needs to get here sooner. I start cooking pancakes and bacon, while I watch another episode of Lucifer on my phone. How does Chloe not believe him?! It's probably too early in the show... Love Trixie though!I finish making them their food, and set the table. I grab a random granola bar from the pantry, and wait for Lily to come pick me up. I wish I had a car... A few minutes later, Lily arrives with drinks. "I just wanted to thank you again, for Saturday." She says, handing me a drink. "No problem. That's what best friends are for." I say, acce
Amelia's POV Esmeralda and Cassy are out of the house for the day, so Sylvester invites himself over. He's sitting at my desk, scrolling on his phone, while I look through my closet. "How long do these things usually last?" I ask."Only a few hours. My parents just like showing off their money to their rich friends." He says sighing. "What do they do for a living?" I ask. "My dad owns a music label. That's the only reason I became "famous" and went on a mini tour." He says. "Then my mom is an investment banker." Damn... That's a lot of money."Did you want to become a singer?" I ask, peeking my head out of my closet. "Honestly... No, I wanted to pursue dance. But my dad didn't think I had a future with that. My mom was supportive though. Her deal was that if I sign the contract to my dad's music company, and end up hating it, I won't renew it." He states. "I get to decide what I do for college and if it's dance, she'll talk to my dad." He says. "Does your dad know you're going
Amelia's POV We get out of the car and Sylvester grabs a hold of my hand. "Personal space much?" I joke. "You think I'd want to be this close to you? If we're six feet apart, they're never going to believe us." He explains. I laugh and say, "At least your hand isn't sweaty." "That's because I'm not nervous yet." He says, looking away. "We're going to be fine. As long as they don't make us kiss." I add."Don't worry. I'd never in a million years kiss your nasty lips." He says smirking. "Good. Let's keep it that way." I say, pretending to kiss his cheek. He dodges me, and I almost trip forward. He immediately wraps an arm around my waist, and I say, "Shit. Forgot I was wearing heels." "I will never understand how you can survive walking on sticks." He says chuckling. "I like looking taller." I say smiling. He bites back a smile and continues guiding me around the building. We make it to the entrance of a large ball room, and he unenthusiastically says, "They have a buffet!" I
Amelia's POV I wake up to my alarm, and smile at Quackers. I get ready for school, and grab my backpack. I make omelets for Esmeralda and Cassy, and don't even get annoyed about it. Lily texts me that she's outside, and I run towards her car. "Happy birthday in a week !" She says excitedly. She hands me a box of donuts, and I take one out to eat. "I love you." I say to her."Who doesn't?" She says, flipping her hair. "How did your date with Jase go, tell me and stop the praises?" I ask. She glares at me and says, "I know what you're doing. I'm only summarizing, and then you better tell me every detail with Sylvester." "It wasn't even a big deal." I say, looking away. "Does my bitch have feelings for someone?" She asks gasping. "No!" I shout automatically."Wow, you hoe. Going for the jackpot." She says smirking. "Fuck off." I mumble, rolling my eyes.She laughs and explains what happened on her date. "Awww you guys are so cute." I say. She smiles and nods. "I just don't kno
