Maxine's Point Of View

After I ate the food that they served me, I decided to take a bath to calm myself. I stayed in the bath for 30 minutes, and I think it was not enough for me to calm myself down. However, if I stayed there for an hour, I might get a cold. I don't want to make them worry again, especially GH, who really cares for me. A care that I did not feel when I was with my foster parents and siblings. Sigh. I remembered again how I was enslaved by my supposed siblings. I wish I could get to an accident and my memories of my past will be gone forever. And if possible, all that will be left in my memory are the happy memories or the memories that are really precious to me.

I went outside and went to the garden to breathe fresh air and calm my mind. I have been thinking, how is GH now? When will he go home? I missed him even though I haven't been with him in a long time, and I have never had the experience of talking to him when we were just the two of us. I want us to have time for each other. I want to thank him for what he did to me, even though he doesn't really know me yet. If you think carefully, who will take you to their mansion without even knowing your whole personality, especially with whom or what kind of family you have? So I'm just very grateful to GH because he adopted me. He gave me food, a dress to wear, and a home to shelter in. He was like my guardian angel. Damn, am I being dramatic? haha!

"Hey," I turned my head when I heard someone. "What are you doing here? Admiring the view?" Giles, added.

I rolled my eyes and said, "If you already know, stop asking and leave already." I replied and looked back at where I had been looking before. "I don't want to be bothered by the likes of you." I added.

He heaved a sigh. "What do you mean by 'the likes of you'? Am I kind of toxic or something?"

"You are an animal." I answered in an instant.

"Heh~ What?" He walked and blocked my view.

I glared at him and stood up. "You're a monkey." I rolled my eyes and turned away.

I heard him chortling, but I did not stop walking away from him and just ignored him. Maybe he couldn't just believe what I said. Of course, they think highly of themselves. That's why they would not believe me when I said they looked like monkeys. Many people admire them and are amazed by their charisma and charm. I don't know if the people around them have been rapturous or if they really just have something wrong with their eyes.

I was about to enter the house when Louis showed up. He looked a bit startled when he saw me, but it immediately disappeared from his face. He removed something from his ear, and when I looked at his hand, I saw one pair of his wireless earphones. My gaze went back to him, and he was still looking at me.

"What? Why?" I asked when I felt uncomfortable with his stare.

He shook his head and returned what he had taken to his ear earlier. "It's just nice to see you."

I felt like my blood was all rising in my head. Gosh, why is this happening to me? And when did it start? Every time he speaks to me, I get a strange feeling in my stomach, as if butterflies are dancing inside of me. I know it sounds crazy, but this is what I actually feel. Gosh, I will need Angela to figure out this one. Sigh. What I felt when Louis was around me was the opposite of what I felt when I was with Alyn. I don't know, but he gave me these vibes that will make you hate him for no reason. And as for me, I get irritated just by looking at his face. That's why I couldn't understand why... Why does everyone like him more than Louis and the others? Why does Alyn get more fans than Louis? If you compare the two, it is obvious that Louis will win. Argh! I just don't know. I get annoyed every time I think of Alyn's face.

"If you are planning to go inside, just go." I stopped in thought when someone spoke behind me. And when I realized that that voice sounded familiar, I turned around to confirm it. "Why are you standing here at the door? Are you waiting for someone to push you?" he continued.

My gosh! Speaking of the devil! He's here with her evil queen! Wait, this girl seems familiar, but I don't know where I saw her before. Maybe I was just mistaken?

"What? Want me to push you?" He arches his brows. I did not give him an answer and just walked in.

Argh! That devil! I really hate him. My gosh, I feel like my blood pressure will rise because of him. I took a deep breath and shook my head before I entered my room.

"Calm yourself down, Max. It's just Alyn; get a hold of yourself." I said to myself.

I once again took a deep breath, and I felt like I was already calm. I lay down on the bed and opened my phone. I would have called Angela to ask about how I was feeling before, but it stopped when I remembered something. Who was the girl with Alyn earlier? Is she his girlfriend? Then, who was the girl in the frame back then? That girl earlier and the girl from the picture frame were definitely not the same. How did I say that? Well, the girl from the picture frame was simpler than the girl before. Hmm... She's full of makeup and she looks ugly. Tch, I look better than her!

"Argh!" I pulled my hair when I realized that I was giving them a lot of thought.

Gosh, who do they think they are to mess with my mind? I'm not interested in who he dates, who he brings here, or whose picture is in the frame. I never want to think about those ugly people again; they only irritated me. Tch. I'm too gorgeous to think about them.
