1 Chapter 01
"I'm sorry Belle. I'm not good enough for you. You don't deserve me. Let's break up." He walked out from the restaurant, Soul Out and drove away.
I was left heart-broken there.
I hate boys! Boys are jerk! They always break us girls' hearts. People alway think fairytales are true. People always think true love existed. I didn't want to believe in true love or love-at-first-sight again because I know I'll always end up getting hurt. That jerk broke up with me and the next day, he was with a B*TCH! And guess whobthe b*tch is.. It's my sister, Heather. She's my unbiological sister and was adopted. I hated her since I was young. I always was friendly and pleasant to her but everytimes she ended up pissing me off. Since I didn't tell my parents, they don't even know I hated her. They would probably think I was being jealous? I remember there was one time, she tore the teddy bear that my parents gave me for my 4th birthday. I was so furious that I slapped her.
But my parents ended up hitting me instead of HER! I swear I am gonna tear her face into half if I have the chance. This is how much I hated her! Just because she's prettier than me doesn't mean she could do anything she wants without Even bothering about how I feel! She's our school's so-called-hottest girl. She's always with her b*tch friends and me, I was just an ordinary student who attended the same school as her. She always warned me not to tell others I'm actually her unbiological sister and that really pissed me off. But I didn't tell because, somehow, I didn't want to hurt her. After all, she's my little sister and I have to forgive everything she did. That's what elder sisters usually do, don't they?
"Hey, Belle. You really don't want to reveal that both of you are actually siblings?" April took one bite of her sandwich and stared at me.
"Nope. I wanted to protect her. Though I hated her a lot." I sighed.
"Well, actually... You don't have to live like that. Honestly, Belle.... stop being a nerb. Take out your specs, dress yourself up and untie your ponytails! You can be prettier than her. You just don't know how to dress yourself up...." Before I could open my mouth, my cellphone rang.
"Excuse me....." I walked out of the classroom.
"Hello..?"
"Belle..!"
"What do you want again, Heather." I rolled my eyes.
"Can you kind go away tonight since Mum and dad are not coming home? Can you go to any of your friend's house?" She asked rudely on the phone.
"Why..?"
"Actually, I am bringing Adam to our house and I can't let him know we're siblings, so please?"
"Belle..! Get into class. We're starting our lessons." My science teacher demanded.
"One second please, teacher."
"Sure, what time can I go home?"
"DON'T! Don't come home tonight. Just overnight at your friend's house, ok? Bye!" She hung up.
"Ok, class. Let's start our lessons. Today we're gonna conduct an experiment."
"Who was that?" April whispered.
"I think I have to overnight at your house again. She's bringing Adam home and she doesn't want Adam to know we're actually siblings."
"What?!" April yelled.
"April! Keep quiet!"
"Sorry, teacher."
... ... ... ...
"April, don't be mad. It's not worth it." I explained.
"I just think it's unfair for you! How can she do that to you? First, she snatched Adam away from you and now, she's trying to make you jealous using Adam, isn't she?" I was walking in the corridor with April when I saw Adam and Heather walking hand in hand. I felt pain deep down in my heart. April held my hand tightly.
"Be strong, Belle." She whispered. I took a deep breath, lifted my head up and passed them.
"You did a good job, Belle." April thumbed up.
"It's all thanks to you." I smiled.
"You know what. I actually have something that Heather doesn't have." I said.
"What?"
"It's you." I said and she laughed.
... ... ... ...
"Morning, April."
"Morning."
"What are you doing?"
"I am preparing breakfast since it's Saturday."
"Oh!" I walked to the toilet and washed my face.
"Hey, Belle. I'hv got a brilliant idea! I'm going to a friend's party tonight. Do you want to tag along?"
"Nah.. It's your friend's party. I don't want to ruin it."
"Oh, you are not ruining it, my dear.. Just come along and have fun."
"Errmm.... Are you sure I can tag along?"
"Of course! After your breakfast, let's go shopping."
"For?"
"For your dress, of course, my dear."
"What! Dress? I'm not used to a dress! Can't I just wear jeans and T-shirt."
"Uh! Hello? We're going to a party, not school."
"Ok, ok." I looked down at my knees.
"Belle, trust me. I'll make you the prettiest and hottest girl in the party."
"April... Thank you.."
... ... ... ...
"Belle..." I walked out of the fitting room.
"You looked so hot!" She said.
"Really?"
"Yes! It's true! You are really hot!"
"This black cocktail dress really suits you."
"How about you? What are you gonna wear tonight?" I asked curiously.
"Well, I found it!" She pointed at theblue cocktail dress.
"Oh my gosh! It's beautiful!"
"Indeed huh?" Suddenly, April's phone rang.
"Excuse me..."
"Ok.." I sat down on the chair and flipped the magazine.
"Miss.."
"Yes.."
"Do you wanna try this on, instead?" A man asked me. I lifted up my head and I saw an old man was looking at me. I stood up and looked at the dress, my eyes widened.
"This is the most beautiful dress I'hv ever seen in my life."
"Well, do you want to try it on?"
"Wow! Hey, let her try it on." I heard someone whispered.
"Ya... He usually doesn't allow anyone to touch this dress but he asked her to try it on?" I heard another whisper again.
"Errmm.. Is it ok for me to try it on?" I stared at the old man.
"Absolutely!" He smiled and handed me a baby pink cocktail dress.
"Thank you so much!" I smiled and walked into the fitting room. I came out after changing and saw April stare at me with her eyes widened.
"What? Is it not good?"
"Oh my gosh! You look so beautiful!" She held my arms.
"Really?"
"Who gave you this dress?"
"The old man.." I pointed to the direction where no one was there.
"Where?"
"I wonder where he is." A girl then walked towards me.
"Miss? The boss of this store said this dress is your gift." She smiled.
"My gift? You mean this dress? Oh no, I can't accept it. It's too expensive."
"Belle, just accept it!"
"Ermm.... Then can you help me pass a 'Thank you' to him?"
"No problem.." The girl then walked away.
... ... ... ...
At the end, I wore the baby pink cocktail dress which the boss of that store gave me. April helped me curl my hair in loose waves.
"Hey guys! I brought a friend with me."
"Wow! You look beautiful." A friend of April's commented.
"Oh thanks." I grinned.
"I'm Aisley by the way. And you are?"
"Oh! I'm Belle. Marybelle." I shook hands with her.
"Oh ok. Belle.. April.. Welcome to my party. Please do enjoy yourself." She smiled.
"Thanks."
"So, what are you going to do?" April asked with excitement.
"Err.... I'm just going to sit here. You should enjoy yourself. I'm not good at dancing, so don't expect me to dance."
"Aww.... Too bad then. I'll go have fun by myself then. I'll meet you here later. Bye!" Shen then walked away. Few minutes later, it became really crowded. I think I better go out and take in some fresh air. I went out to the garden and sat down on the grass.
"Wow! Her house is so huge. I love her garden too." I whispered to myself. I was planning to spend my entire time admiring the stars.
"Excuse me?"
"Yes?" I lifted up my head snd I saw an extremely gorgeous guy looking at me with sky blue eyes. His hair was blonde and smooth. He was wearing jeans and a T-shirt with a black jacket.
"Oh! I don't mind." He then sat down beside me.
"You really love to admire the stars, huh?"
"Yea. I usually spend my time admiring them if I got norhing better to do." I grinned. He then laughed. His features were perfect! He's the most gorgeous guy I'hv ever seen in my life.
"Oh... I'm Rafe by the way. And you are?"
"Oh... Hi, Rafe. I'm Belle, Marybelle."
"Oh, Belle. It's a sweet name."
"Thanks to my dad I got such a sweet name." I smiled. I looked at his wide arms and admired.
... ... ... ...
~RAFE'S P.O.V.~
Wow! She looked really beautiful when she smiled.
"By the way, did you enjoy yourself in the party? I asked. She then shook her head.
"Not really. It's my first time. I'hv attended a party before since I was a high school girl. Not really used to it though."
"You don't go to parties?"
"Nope." She rocked back and forth while talking.
"Why not?" I raised my eyebrows in surprise and she stared at me with pale blue eyes which I found it really attractive.
"I-I mean why don't you attend these kinds of parties? You're a pretty girl every boy desires." She then blushed.
"Errmm... Thanks for the compliment. But actually, I wasn't pretty at all. I'm just plain-ordinary school girl." She smiled again.
"Plain? Ordinary? Oh, come on! You're....."
"Hey, Belle!" A girl walked towards her.
"Heather?" I looked at Belle's confused expression.
"Excuse me for a while....." She then pushed the girl named Heather aside.
