I twirl the fork around the thin spaghetti noodles, then slurp it all up as I lower my head to avoid spilling. I was eating an early lunch in my room while Nicholas' parents were chatting downstairs. To say I was very confused about what was going on was an understatement.

"Are you finished, ma'am?" I wipe my mouth clean and look at the same woman that places the tray of food in front of me.

She was nervously standing by the door watching me eat. Her eyes avoid contact with me when I look at her.

"Yes, ma'am, " I answered her as I put everything neatly back onto the tray. She immediately grabbed it when I reach it out and walk out of the room, leaving me alone.

Was I that scary?

I let out a huff and cross my arms against my chest. I was awfully bored. I am grateful for their hospitality but I was more than well and ready to leave. Even if I had no money and no place to do. It was better than staying at a stranger's home. Especially a rich stranger that had a horrible personality. His ego was too far up his ass. Who's going to tell him that his ego is actually way lower than he is imagining?

A sigh escapes my lips when I lean forward with my legs dangling on the side of the bed. My hands were pressed on the side of my hips as I swing my legs to entertain myself. My mind was blank while my eyes were droopy. Due to my little fail escape, I barely got any sleep.

I badly want to freely go out and explore but no matter what I'm always trapped inside of a room. How depressing.

"Uhhhh!"

I fell back onto the bed, staring at the ceiling before trashing the bed. I grip the sheets and turn around, kicking my legs into the air while the sheets muffle my scream.

"Why is your ass sticking up in the air like that?" a voice spoke out of nowhere, frightening me.

A shattering noise was made inside of my head as my body went stiff as cardboard. I slowly unclench my hands, letting go of the sheets that I ruffled. I immediately sat up and push my hair out of the way like nothing just happened.

"What?" I said while touching the small bandage by my temple. Play it cool, Rosaline.

"You're a...strange thing, " he said, staring at me, "But anyways you can come down now."

My eyes widen and I yelp in gleed. I pull myself out of the bed and rush out of the room, but before I step fully out of the door he grabbed my arm and held me still.

"What now?" I asked, a frown appearing on my face. He stares at my outfit then back at me.

"I think it's best if you go change and shower before you go shopping."

"Shopping?" Who's going shopping? Not this girl, that's for sure.

He let go of my arm and let out a sigh, "you are going shopping with a maid. Since you will be staying here for a while you need extra clothes."

My eyes widen even more.

"Staying here for a while? Who said that. I was about to go adios but now you are saying I'm going hola."

Now I'm making so sense. I have officially gone insane. My frown deepens even more when Nicholas literally starts pushing me towards the bathroom like a box.

"Go shower and a maid should be here to give you your clothes. After that you may go shopping, buying whatever you need."

He opens the bathroom door and pushes me inside.

"If you need anything. Call me. Ciao, " he winked at me then shut the door in front of my face. Leaving me no other choice but to shower.

"Stupid, donkey," I mumbled to myself as I got to undress and set into the warm raining water.

-*-

"Do I have to. I only want to leave this place why force me to stay?" I whined like a child to Nicholas.

My head was resting on the arm chair while my arms were hanging off of the chair. I refused to leave and clung to the chair for the past thirty to fifty minutes.

Sigh.

"You should be grateful. You are basically getting free meals, a place to stay, and money to spend on. Shouldn't you be happy?" He tries to reason with me.

I lift up my head and pout at him, "no."

I never asked for all of this. I just want a simple cozy home all to myself. Not a whole charity.

"Fine. If that's how you are going to act fine."

I smile in victory when I thought he would finally leave me alone, but I was completely wrong. Way wrong. Much to my disappointment.

"Hey! What are you doing! Put me down!" I yelled at him while pounding my fist onto his back.

"No can do, Bella." He snickered at me.

My blood was starting to rush to my head making me feel lopsided.

"Put me down, silly goose!"

He laughed even more and processed to bounced me all the way to the car. When he finally put me down I was feeling extremely dizzy. All my senses were going crazy.

"You meanie! Wait until I get you!" I threaten him when he closes the door and made his way to the driver seat.

"As if you could, " he taunts me, grinning at me through the mirror. I let out a huff, my upper lip twitching as I held in a growl. I rubbed my head again and frown at the slight headache. What a meanie.

Just when I was about to fall asleep in the middle of the car rider the vehicle finally stopped. The door to my right instantly opened and I was free.

"Finally! I thought you were driving to nowhere to dump me, " I ramble to him.

"I actually was thinking about it, " he admitted like it was nothing. My anger heighten again but quickly disappeared when I saw a familiar figure behind him.

I squint my eyes to get a better look but was block by him. He put his face close to mine and look at me.

"what are you looking at?"

I shove his face away from mine and look closer to the figure. But I wish I didn't.

At the entrance of the mall stood someone I wish I will never see ever again.

"Chad..."

Ok. So school has been giving me a lot of work, and like I'm so stressed. I'm certain I did bad on my Geometry test, no joke.

So I'm not sure when is the next update.

But stay safe y'all.
