the next morning, the sun rises in the sky and I woke up early like usual. I sat up in my bed and let out a yawn

putting back my white bunny stuff toy in my bed with the others and headed downstairs for breakfast

" Good morning, early bird! " Catherine greeted as she turned off the stove and stocked the freshly cooked pancakes on the plate

i giggled at the nickname she always calls me when I rise early, i placed a peck on her cheeks and grabbed the kettle, pouring the hot water into the mug

" is Kate still asleep? " I asked and mixed the coffee to blend, I sat down in the dining chair and smelled the aroma of freshly cooked pancakes. My favorite meal for breakfast!

" of course she is, sleeping soundly inside her room, i'm surprised you woke up early today. No nightmares, hun? " She asked and checked her bag if she got her things before going to work, i shook my head no and picked up the knife and fork

they both know about my nightmares and how constantly have it in nights a row

they'll just hear me screaming or lashing out in my bed at night, I get embarrassed and guilty whenever I wake them up, but they assured me it was nothing and would be more glad to help me cope with it.

Even though it's already been a year of living here in Los Angeles, I know I'm safe. But part of me knows I'm not fully safe, my dad is still out there. He's wealthy and often

he flies to different states just to meet up with his business partners, I had other dreams where he just flew here in LA and saw me again, shivers run down my spine when remembering that dream...

" Adeline, eat your breakfast hun, before it gets cold " But I snapped out of my space when I heard Catherine remind me

i nodded my head and started eating. Pancakes have always been my favorite meal for breakfast and I could never get tired of them

I used to remember that my real mom would cook them for me every day, or sometimes, she would ask some of our maids to cook them for me when she had to rest... After dad abused her

When Catherine left to go for her work, I washed the dishes and headed back upstairs to take my homework and returned to the living room, i opened the TV and 0started doing my homework.

Kate is one year older than me, and we go to the same high school together but have different classes and grades.

I'm slightly popular in our school because of who I am, a Russian girl, they say. I started learning English when I was very young, and even now, I still have my accent within me, but no one minds

Kate wants to be popular and she's the friendliest in our school, while me. I'm the quietest in class. And I guess the boys in our school want me, I wouldn't blame them. But I know it makes Kate jealous

"Hey! Make a way! our girl is coming! "

my face turned bright red when I heard a guy shout in the hallway where a bunch of students spend their break time, i swallowed the lump in my throat and tightly squeezed the books tighter into my chest

i let out a gasp when someone's arm placed in my shoulder. I look up to see

to only see the greatest football player in our school looking down at me with a smirk on his face

"W-what are you doing? " I asked, almost in a whisper as I walked in the hallway to make my way into my locker, while everyone made a way, watching us, whispering and gossiping. I hated it

he laughs

" what else? Walking with you " He replies, I can't help but not roll my eyes at his cockyness

I was more focused on my studies than the boys

and half of the girls in the school were jealous of me, I wish I could stop it because I only want to go to a school like a normal person. But the good thing is, no one found out who I am, or who my real parents are

after an hour, I shut the books and took off my glasses, pressing my both hands in my face and groaning from exhaustion.

" good morning Addie "

but then I jumped onto the couch when I heard Kate's voice out of nowhere, i looked and saw she made her way to the kitchen and poured herself water from the glass

" goodmor- " but I didn't finish my sentence when I saw an unknown person message me, I grabbed my phone and opened the message

' hey, it's me, Tom. I'll pick you up tonight at 6:50 pm. Can't wait to see you, pretty girl. X '

my eyes widen and I become speechless again. Is this all real? I didn't think he'd remember, but god, he did

" what? " Kate asked curiously and grabbed my phone from my hand when she read the message, she spit the water into the air and I gasped

" Katie! " I said and wiped it off from my school books, she set down the glass on the coffee table as her mouth was wide open

" he fucking calls you 'pretty girl'? is this real Addie? " Kate asked shockingly, she noticed the red blush on my cheeks and laughs

" oh my god! Did you get Tom Kaulitz? can you believe that? " She continued and sat beside me, holding my both hands while looking directly into my eyes, i let out a sigh

" i-i know, but... I only see him as 'Tom', and not as Tom Kaulitz " I replied and Kate laughs

"Your really the angel in this world Addie, come on. Let's choose an outfit for your date tonight "
