“What about with us? Would you be unco out with us?”

“Oh no” I rushed to assure the a bit embarrassed at the needy haste hich I’d answered I’er for friendship, another one of Becky’s dictates As she’d said, she didn’t want outsiders painting her as the evil step face

This all sounds like a poorly written tabloid story, and if I weren’t living it, I would find it hard to believe rooman would have it out for a child just because she refused to call her mom My refusal to replace my deceased mother with her is the bone of contention she holds onto to this day and is also the thing that my dad resents me for

I have no idea why he’d want that; all it does is make me doubt his love for my mom, that he ever truly loved her How could he want et her, to put aside h she never existed? Noasn’t the tih For noanted to enjoy this time here, which I’m pretty sure will be the last

“So, what should we do for the next couple of hours?” One of the twins srape into her mouth “Why don’t we show you around?” I didn’t want to ask, but I was dying to see this h the gates have done nothing but rave over the years, and I can’t deny that I’ve alanted to see what all the fuss is about

“I’d like that”

“Great, let’s get Gabriel to join us; he’s better at that stuff” The botto the fact that he was soh I felt a prickling down my spine the whole ti Of course, I know it’s just wishful thinking; I mean, ould he?

Even though he’d co that he had any real interest, especially when he disappeared as soon as we got here, as if he couldn’t wait to get away from me

GABRIEL

Does she know that she wears her thoughts on her face? I’ve just watched a gamut of emotions flash across it froain Now she’s looking uncertain I can’t think about that now, though, because Rosa had just thrown me under the bus

Since when a people around? She’s never seen me do that shit because it never happened I could drive a truck through the obvious opening she just left, but Gianna didn’t seem to notice what they were up to She’d taken the news of their deception pretty well, I’d been afraid of her reaction when she found out the truth, but it was the best I could come up with, with such short notice

There’s still a lot for me to learn, but from what I know so far, she has no friends, like not one, not even the outcasts go near her, and from what I heard, she has no one outside of school Usually, I would look for the fault in her; I ue, therewith you I couldn’t usethose trying to get close toher attacked not once but tas h to convince me that she wasn’t the one at fault

I’ on with her in that house, where I’ve come to believe the probleet to the bottom of it That’s one of the reasons I needed her here I can’t very well carry out my plans at school where there are too many eyes and too many ways to fuck up What I plan to do hat I find is a whole other issue I have yet to decide, but the sooner I deal with her shit, the sooner I can get back to mine

It’s been two days now since I gave any attention tosession I can only do that shit while I’m at school because I’m pretty sure Pop has eyes all over the place I don’t think that he’d go through my shit, but thethe extra mile to look over his family, but it messes with my shit
