Amanda Estelle
I looked out the window to see the gloomy sky knowing that a heavy rain will come sooner or later. My father called me and I quickly walked into the living room to see what he's up to.
"Mandy, do you need to buy school supplies?" My dad asked as he put his brush down to the ground.
"No, I don't need anything." I smiled at him as I took a chair and sat beside him looking at his beautiful painting.
"So.. what's the meaning of this?" I asked. He painted a little girl holding a sunflower on her hands and she was looking at the sky full of stars.
"It's you.." He turned to me smiling widely as he touched my nose.
"Me?" I pointed at myself and he nodded.
"It was you when you're 4, before your mom passed away." It's true. My mom passed away because of cancer and my dad had to raise me alone. He always told me that I'm the best thing in his life besides my mom. He loves my mom dearly that he swore that he won't get married again.
"All of your paintings are all about me, father." I chuckled and he smiled nodding.
"Are you sure that you don't need anything?"
"No, I'm okay."
"Are you excited for tomorrow? This will be your last year though." He said as he took his new brush from the ground.
"Yeah, I need to think about what I want to do in the future too." I said with no energy. He chuckled and he turned to me fully.
"You don't need to rush, Amanda. Take it slow.. and besides as long as you're happy, it's enough." My dad actually came from a really rich family. His family was one of the richest families in the UK but his father disowned him for not wanting to take the family business.
My father was and always loves painting and he decided to pursue his dream by leaving his wealth. 2 years after that he met mom and they got married right away. My mom was a ballerina and she was the one who taught me ballet. I love dancing and painting, I got those skills from my parents but not only that I'm so interested in the business world.
I never told my dad about it because I was so scared that he will get sad remembering his past. I also have been saving up so much money to go to college by working as a math tutor in my neighbourhood. I'm quite smart to be honest and I love teaching children because they're so cute.
Tomorrow will be an exciting day, not only it's my first day as a senior but I can't wait to see my crush, Jason.
"Here.. go buy your favorite bread." Suddenly my father gave me 10 pounds. I looked at him confuse but I took the money.
"Do you want anything?" I asked.
"The usual." He said and I nodded. I took my phone and walked out from the house. I was walking towards the bakery 2 blocks away from my house as I looked up to the gloomy sky.
"Ms. Estelle." I stopped and I looked down to see 2 bodyguards standing in front of me. I gulped nervously and they gestured me to get into the car.
"I'm sorry, I think you got the wrong person." I said politely and before I get to walk pass them. An old man got out of the car and my eyes widened. He gestured to me to get into the car and I obeyed him right away.
It's my grandfather, Elliot Estelle.
"Hello Amanda, how are you?" He asked as the door closed. I wasn't dare to look at him, I kept looking at the ground.
"I'm doing okay and my father is doing okay as well, Mr. Estelle. I hope you're not trying to-"
"I'm not here to see Victor, I'm here to see you." He said and that made me turn to him.
"Why? Why do you want to see me?" I asked nervously.
"Where are you planning to go after you finish highschool?" He asked in a serious tone. I guess this is what my father experienced back in the days.
"Why do you want to know? I'm pretty sure you won't like it like you did to my father." I said completely not scared at him after what he did to my father.
"I'm not getting any younger, Amanda. I need to know what your future will be." He said and I sighed.
"I don't know, I still need time to think about it." I lied because I don't want him to know what I want to do in the future.
"I know you're looking for a scholarship to go to CASS or London Business School." My eyes widened and I was mad knowing that he's spying on me now. My hand reached to the door but he stopped me.
"Let me help you." He said and I turned to him.
"I don't need your help, you disowned my father so it means you disowned me too. I know that I have Estelle as my last name but it doesn't mean that I'm your granddaughter." I said coldly and he sighed.
"I understand how you feel about me but I'm not getting any younger, Amanda. I want to pay for your college and then you can work at the company." He said as he held my hand but I shook my hand.
"I don't need your money or your company, Mr. Estelle. I will find my own way to get into that school." I said and he let my hand go.
"Very well, tell me what you want so you can let me help you."
"I hope you can fix your relationship with my father. If you do, maybe I'll reconsider your offer." I said and his eyes widened. I know he won't reconcile with my father soon or later. Elliot Estelle is stubborn and he has a hard time forgiving his son.
"I hope you won't spy on me again, you're making our relationship worse." I said and I got out of the car.
I walked towards the bakery to buy some bread and I went back straight home.
Victor EstelleI put my brush down and walked towards the door. I opened the door hoping that it will be one of the neighbours but it turned out to be my father, Elliot Estelle who disowned me 24 years ago."What are you doing here?" I was completely not welcome with his sudden visit."We should talk inside, I don't want us to make a scene in this poor neighbourhood." I let him with his two bodyguards in and prepared tea for them. I brought the teacups into the living room and put it on the table. My father looked at my paintings and then he proceeded to sit down."Do you know that your daughter was trying to apply for a scholarship in CASS and London Business School?" My father asked and that surprised me. Amanda wanted to go to a business school? I looked at my f
Amanda EstelleI took a bus to go to school and I kept thinking about my grandfather's words. I can't believe my father is agreeing to this, this is ridiculous. The great Elliot Estelle told me to pick what college or university and he will give me all his inheritance when I turn 25.I can't believe this.I walked to school and went straight to my Biology class. I sat down at the front since the back of the class belongs to the cool kids. At school, I'm just a lonely girl. I don't have any friends and they don't even want to be my friend. Everyone in this entire school knew that I'm the granddaughter of Elliot Estelle but he disowned my father for not wanting to take over the business.They bullied me sometimes for it and not to mention that I'm the smartest kid in
Logan Nielsen"Did someone recognize you?" My father asked."No, I will be fine here." I said as I sat down on the sofa."Very well, I'll contact you again later. Take care of yourself, son." My father ended the call.My father is the King of Denmark, Valentino Nielsen. I'm Logan Christopher Nielsen, the Prince of Denmark. As much as I love being in the palace, I have to get out of it. Why? There's been a lot of scandal surrounding me lately but all of them are not true so to slowly die them down, I have to go to London to continue my school here.In London, I'll be Logan Christian. I don't want to stand out in the crowd so I decided to just befriend a nerdy, lonely and weird girl named Amanda Estelle. I heard that she's ac
Amanda EstelleI 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 paint
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
