“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 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

Eliana and William were delighted to learn that Caleb had finally decided to speak with Carson. Following Olivia's outburst, both of them attempted to contact their elder son. But it was a waste of time because Carson was firm in his decision to discontinue all contact with his family. Fortunately, they were able to locate his fiancée, Claudia. William spoke with her and learned about his son's whereabouts. Olivia didn't want to ruin the Knights' family's happiness by bringing Cameron. It was their time, not hers, but she was out of luck when Caleb signalled her to speak with his parents about Cameron. So, Olivia had no choice but to tell them about her secret. Eliana and William were both surprised to learn Olivia had a younger brother. They wanted to know about him, and she gladly informed them about her younger brother. Of course, Olivia left out the part about her parents abusing her, but she did tell them about Cameron being exposed to the wrong influences in his life and her pa

Olivia felt awkward the following day, but Caleb, Carson, and Claudia tried to act normal around her, which she appreciated. The breakfast was delicious and full of interesting conversations, although she did spot Carson and Claudia having a quiet conversation. “Caleb, do you mind helping me in the kitchen?” Claudia asked after they were finished. “Sure.” He said. They both walked out, leaving Carson and Olivia behind. “Olivia, come on, let's go into the garden.” Carson stood up, with her following close behind. “How are you feeling?” He asked. “Um, good.” She responded. “Well, did I thank you for what you did?” He asked. “Carson, cut the crap and get to the point. I may be young, but I am not stupid.” “Do you get those nightmares all the time?” Again, Carson asked, this time directly to the point. She replied with a single word, “Yes.” “You are not going to give me any details, are you?” “No.” Which made Carson sigh. “Olivia, I think you should visit a therapist.” He sugg

Caleb got up early the next morning and headed downstairs. He was desperately looking for Olivia while sitting at the table. “Where is Livy, Mom... Dad?” He asked, concerned. Eliana replied, “She’s already gone.” ‘So, she is avoiding me,’ Caleb thought. He had expected her to act this way, but he also knew Olivia would change her mind. After all, they both lived in the same place. “Is everything between you two fine?” His father asked, raising his eyes from the newspaper he was reading. He considered telling them the real reason at first, then changed his mind. He didn’t want to give Olivia any more reasons to dislike him. “Everything is OK, Dad. However, I believe I better leave right now. Otherwise, I will be late.” Caleb was looking for Olivia when he arrived at school, but he couldn’t find her, so he reluctantly proceeded to his class, only to find her already seated behind Mason and Sia. Because the seat next to her was empty, he took a chance and sat next to her. “Hey gu

Olivia walked to school the next day instead of driving. But she shrieked when Caleb’s car came to a halt next to her, honking loudly. “What the hell, Caleb? Giving me a heart attack and making me deaf is not going to kill me.” She shouted at him with one hand on her heart. “Get in the car, Olivia, and stop making morbid jokes.” He told her. “Thank you, but I am fine.” She was ready to take a step forward when he made a threat. “If you don’t get in the car, then I will myself force you to get in.” “Oh my god, I am so scared.” She rolled her eyes. To prove his point, Caleb got out of the car and went towards Olivia. He shoved her into the passenger seat after picking her upon his shoulder. Then, he slid into the driver’s seat, but not before fastening her seatbelt. He even locked the car so Olivia wouldn’t be able to get out. “This is not going to make us buddies.” She glared at him. “Oh, Olivia, trust me. It will.” He gave her a friendly smile. She got out of the car when they
