Amanda Estelle
I arrived at my grandfather's mansion with my father. He invited us to have dinner together. I looked at the mansion and couldn't stop admiring it secretly. It was beautiful and I can predict that there's more than 10 bedrooms inside this mansion.
"Let's go inside." My father said and I followed him into the mansion. One of the maid led us to the dining room and my eyes widened to see lots of variety of foods. There's only 3 of us but they prepared food like there's 20 more people coming.
"Welcome.. please sit down." My grandfather said with a big smile plastered on his face. I walked towards my seat but my father's eyes stuck to the paintings on the walls. He turned to my grandfather.
"Why do you have all of this?" He asked and I looked at the paintings around the room. It was my father's paintings and he bought a lot of it.
"You're still my son even though I never like your decision." My grandfather said as he took a piece of steak. He turned to me and gestured me to sit down. I sat down next to him and my dad walked towards his seat.
"Why are you telling me this now?"
"I thought one day you would beg me to take you back but I was wrong." He said as he cut his steak. I took a plate of fish and chips in front of me and started to eat.
"So.. Amanda, have you decided where you want to go?" I know that he's talking about the university.
"Uhmm.. I'll let you know. I just got back to school." I said and he nodded.
"Very well, let me know when you're ready." He smiled at me.
"She will take over the company when she's ready. I talked to her last night and I don't want you to force her into this." My father said and we did talk a lot last night. I agreed to take over the company as soon as I graduate from university. He wanted me to be happy instead of rushing things.
"I won't.." My grandfather said.
We talked a lot during dinner and then we went back home. I noticed that my father seems to get his happiness back. He loves his father and the fact that he's connecting back with him is making him happy than before. I'm glad that our family starts to come together again.
My phone rang and it's Logan, who else? I don't have any friends besides him.
"Hello?"
"I'm bored, let's watch movies together." He said and I looked at the clock. He's ridiculous, it's 8.30 in the evening.
"I can't, my curfew is at 9." I said honestly and I saw my father looking at me raising his eyebrows.
"That's not fun, I thought you have a wild side." I can't believe that he just said that.
"If you don't have anything else to say, I'm hanging up." I said but he stopped me right away.
"You're mean, Mandy. If you have a curfew, then let me know your address. I'll just hang out at your place." My jaw dropped and my father looked at me suspiciously. I walked towards him.
"Father, do you mind if I have a friend over? I know it's-"
"I don't mind, as long as you're under my watch." He said and I smiled. I let Logan know my address and he ended up the call after I finished telling it. Rude.
I decided to take a shower quickly before Logan comes. I put on my black hoodie and my black shorts. I walked downstairs and Logan was already in my living room. He was talking with my father about sketching.
"You're here already?" I asked taking his attention.
"I never thought you have a boy space friend." My father said and Logan chuckled.
"We're best friends, Mr. Estelle. You'll be seeing a lot of me in the future." Logan said, making my father turn to him.
"I don't trust you, Logan."
"I'll gain your trust, Mr. Estelle." Logan said confidently and I rolled my eyes.
"Let's watch movies.. I brought my laptop." Logan said as he took his bag from the ground. I gestured him to come to my room and my father gave me that look.
"Open the door, honey." My father said as I walked into my room. I opened the door a tiny bit and it's enough for my father to peek us.
"Why are you bored anyway?"
"I have no friends, I only have you." He said simply as he took out his laptop.
"Your house is really cozy, I like it." He said and I can't believe he said that. My house is so small and old but it is cozy.
"What do you want to watch?" He asked.
"Romance movie." I said and he looked at me flatly.
"Boring.. let's watch horror movies."
"Get out from my house then." I pointed at the door and he pouted.
"Grown ups? You're okay with that movie?" He asked and I nodded.
"Fine. Let's watch it." I said and I laid my body and he laid beside me. I supported my head with my hands and he turned on the movie.
"You look sleep.. you can't sleep!" He said and I ignored him.
"Mandy, you can't sleep okay? Or I'll pinch you." He said and I turned to him glaring.
"If you dare, I'll cut your balls." I hissed and he looked at me disbelief.
"I never thought you will say something like that. I thought you're innocent. So.. how many times have you did it?" He smirked and I smacked his arm.
"Just watch!" I pointed at the laptop and he winked at me making my butterflies fly crazily. Not again, please don't act like this.
"Prepare to laugh, Mandy."
"Stop calling me Mandy." I said in a flat tone.
"Why not? It's cute." He turned to me but I ignored him and pointed my finger at the screen.
Logan Nielsen"Tell me why are you studying when we just start school?" I looked at Mandy completely annoyed."I like to take notes and rewrite it. I'm a perfectionist." She said as she took a quick glance at me."You're boring.""That's for picking me as your friend, it's not too late for you to go away." She hissed coldly."You slept yesterday as we're watching Grown Ups, are you freaking kidding me?" I bursted and she suddenly shoved my mouth with a piece of carrot."I'm not a bunny!" I said as I threw the carrot back to her."You are! You talk too much.." She glared at me as she ripped her notes again.
Amanda EstelleI was walking into the school building with a really good mood. My dad gave me money to buy a new book after school. I can't wait to go to a bookstore to buy it later."Where do you think you're going?" Suddenly someone pulled my bag from the back making my body fall backwards."Tell me.. what kind of magic did you use on Logan so he can stick with you like a glue?" Patricia asked me as she sat down on my body."Get off me!" I said but her friends helped her to keep me on the ground."What did he even see in you? You're so.. plain and ugly." She said as she pushed my chin up with her sharp nail."Patricia! Get off me!" I tried to wiggle my body but she didn't even mov
Amanda Estelle"What are you thinking?" I asked Logan because he kept looking at the sky blankly. He sat up straight and he turned to me shaking his head.We're currently sitting on a bench at Hyde Park with our rented bikes. Logan was wearing a black mask to cover his mouth because he said he has a pollen allergy. We were a little tired after strolling around Hyde Park."I love this place.." Logan said as he looked at the trees and then he turned his attention back to me."Do you have something in mind? You can tell me.." I said because it's been a week since we've become friends and I can say that I'm so comfortable being with him. It was like we've been friends for years when the truth is that we just met last week."My father as
Amanda Estelle"Don't talk to me.. Don't ever talk to me.." I pushed Logan away and he laughed his ass off. He just pulled a prank on me. I heard him screaming from the kitchen and I ran towards him to see his finger bleeding but it turns out it's a carrot with hot sauce."Oh come on.. it was fun." He laughed as he tried to grab my hand."It's not funny, Logan." I hissed as I pushed his hand away. I tried to go to my room but he caught my arm."It's a joke.""No! You're annoying.. go home! I don't want to talk to you.." I bursted angrily and he laughed again."It's a prank, I just want to see your reaction." He said and I covered my face with my hands. I was so scared earlier that m
Logan NielsenMandy was busy counting the stars and I couldn't help but smile widely. I never thought coming to London would be this fun and I'm so glad that I picked the right friend. Mandy is a really fun, unique and loud girl to be with."Let's wish for something and we tell each other about it." She suggested."It won't come true, Mandy.""I wish I can become a successful businesswoman and make my family proud." She said her wish out loud."It won't come true." I repeated."I don't believe things like that." She said simply."Fine.. I wish I can be a great leader and be the best version of me." I said as I looked at the stars.
Amanda EstelleLogan and I walked towards my house after school to do our homework together. Yesterday, my grandfather bought me books about business for me to read and he promised me that he will take me to my future office next week. I can't wait for my time to come."What's with you smiling like that?" Logan asked and I turned to him as I held on to my bag straps."Nothing, I'm just excited to see the office next week." I said and he chuckled."You're ready to be a businesswoman?" He asked and I nodded."Imagine how cool I am when that time comes." I said as I smirked."Funny.." He said and suddenly 3 luxury cars stopped beside us. I looked at it confuse and there's 2 guards comi
Logan Nielsen"I hope that's not the girl that you're going to marry, Logan." My father said as he turned his body to me."No, father. She's my best friend and she's the granddaughter of Elliot Estelle." I said and he nodded."Elliot Estelle? Why is she living in a small old house then?" I raised my eyebrows when he asked that."Are you spying on me, father?""I got a lot of reports from the guards that you always come home around 11 pm almost everyday. You were staying at her house." He said as he looked at me seriously."I'm trying to enjoy my last freedom, father.""I don't want you to marry a random girl, Logan. I just want to remind you
Amanda Estelle"Catch!" Logan said but I wasn't responding fast enough to catch the croissant. It hit my head and I looked at Logan flatly."You're a bad catcher, Mandy." He said as he plopped beside me."Tell me which bakery.." I said as I opened the plastic to eat the croissant but before I could take a bite, Logan took it away from me."What the?!""I told you that I made this, why are you so stubborn?" He hissed and I laughed."Fine.. fine! I believe you.." I said as I took my croissant from his hand. He leaned his head to my shoulder and he let out a deep sigh."What is it?""It's just my father
