AS SOON AS
Annabella entered the class
room, all went silent as they gazed at her, trying to figure out how to react to her new and improved look.
One thing was very obviously clear however, there was no way they could easily mess with her anymore.
Annabella smiled at the people in the class, and her smile was completely dazzling.
She took a seat at the very front of the class and got on her phone as she waited for the class to start.
One of the girls who had first noticed her approached her and said, "Excuse me,may I sit here?"
Annabella looked up at the young lady and swiftly nodded, taking her time to gaze at her.
The second she had walked up, Annabella had recognized her.
Leah Coronell, sun kissed skin, copper hair, and caramel eyes.
She was very beautiful, not to mention the only daughter of the Coronell family.
In the future she would become a very influential actress and eventually make it to become an A Lister.
She smiled sweetly at Annabella and said very honestly, "Truth is, my parents told me to make friends with you at the begining of the year since you are a Vermillion. But I didn't like that girl you were always hanging around, what was her name? Fray, that's right. Now, however, it looks like she is out of the picture."
Anabella couldn't help but let out a small chuckle at the girl's words.
She could immediately tell that she was of those brutally honest girls who would say things with no filter.
She also did realize that she had mispronounced Freya's name but she felt lik being a petty person for goodness sake, so there was no need to correct her.
Anabella smiled at the girl and said, "Well, then Leah. Let's be friends."
Leah looked at her and said, "Great, I thought I would get rejected right away. I wonder what they're giving for lunch today~"
Anabella had almost forgotten that Leah Coronell was also very famous for being a huge foodie. She had once said that love was her life line.
Right that second, the teacher walked in and said, "Alright students, Pop Quiz."
Anabella had never understood in the past why in novels the main character always said they wanted to take things slow so that they would not look suspicious.
It's not like anybody is going to suspect that we went back in time, and if there's no proof of cheating then there's no way we would get in trouble. We don't need to answer their questions as to how we suddenly learned all this. Worst case scenario just say you pulled an all nighter because you wanted to get better.
This was what went through Anabella's head, and she was proven correct when she acted the Pop Quiz and the gave the generic response she had thought of.
Thing is, the teachers in that school are fine with whatever you do as long as you are passing and you aren't cheating.
As soon as class was over, Anabella and Leah agreed to exchange numbers and meet up the following day for coffee in the morning, after that, they had to split seeing as they had completely different classes after their first one currently.
When Anabella reached her second class for the day, she was shocked to see two people she did not expect to see quite so soon.
At the very front of the class sat Freya, a beaming smile covering her beautiful face as she urged her over.
At the very back of the class...was him. Looking at a bird which was perched on a tree branch, a serene smile on his face.
In that moment, Anabella had to choose between getting a taste of revenge, or a taste of a love that at this very moment, might be unrequited.
She didn't think twice before walking to the back of the class and plopped down next to the beautiful man who had been with her even through her worst choices and mistakes.
She fully realized that at this point in time, he might not even know who she is, but she's willing to give her all to him this time around, instead of the other way around.
As soon as she sat down, the man turned around and his gaze fell on the young woman beside him, who in turn, offered him a warm smile.
His eyes immediately warmed, recognition fanning his features before he offered her the same warm smile and said, "Hello, my name is Livius, it is nice to meet you Ms. Vermillion."
Her smile widened as she realized he did, in fact, already know about her, and she quickly said, "Call me Anabella, it's very nice to meet you two, Livius."
He couldn't help but be glad that she was back to normal and out of the stupor the young Ms. Freya had her in.
Just as he was about to reply, destiny decided that it was jealous of their budding romance and shoved a certain person in the way.
Freya smiled brightly at Anabella and 'nervously' said, "A-ana, why didn't you sit with me? I saved a spot for you."
Everyone looked back at the friends, anticipating what would happen between the rich and beautiful heiress, and the school beauty whom everyone was reconsidering.
Anabella looked up at Freya without even trying to fake a smile and said, "Come on darling, use that bright mind of yours. What reason could I possibly have not to sit next to the great Freya who betrayed my friendship and trust."
Everything went silent as Anabella's words fully sunk in.
Freya immediately looked for a way out of the situation before settling on tears and saying, "I'm sorry Ana... it's just that after I told you I had a crush and you went after him, I was worried that..."
She didn't finish the sentence, leaving it open for interpretation.
Livius tensed besides Anabella, sending a murderous glare at Freya that immediately caused her to step back slightly, giving her even more of a frail look.
People immediately started to doubt Anabella.
However, she was no longer new to the game and her body started shaking, as if she was about to cry, and she looked down, her hair covering her face before she said, "I didn't want to believe Momma Freya, when she said she caught you making passes at Mr. Winters. I wanted to believe you were a good person but you really went to far. Even framing me."
When she looked back up, tears were streaming down her face and her cheeks and nose had turned red.
Freya knew when to retreat, but this time she pushed to hard and was not given that option.
Meanwhile, as everyone heard Annabella's words, and the fact that The Layla Winters herself had said that, it was irrefutable...
Freya was a fake.
Livius looked at Anabella with a proud smile. That was definitely not the way he would have handled it, but it was handled and there was no refuting that fact.
Anabella caught Livius staring at her and sent him a secret smile. She trusted him, there was no need to hide her personality from him. Also, she wanted to see how he would react.
She was slightly surprised when he simply smirked before looking forward just at the teacher walked in.
What was that supposed to mean?
