LEE’S MANSION**
Amelia blinked rapidly, with widened eyes
“Huh?” She was stunned by his confession, she didn’t even expect it
“You heard me, stay by my side always….. Don’t move away from me, not even an inch” He muttered, still hugging her
“But you asked me to stay away from you?”
“Not anymore…… I like you, Amelia” He confessed, shocking her the more
“I … I..” She stuttered not know what to say. He smiled, noticing her nervousness. If it were to be other girls, they would have jumped on him but this one seems to be different; like a rare flower petal
“Brother!!” Brielle screamed, standing afar. Amelia turned to look at her
“Do you want to catch cold? You know you are not tolerant to it” She added
Amelia took his hand, leading him away from the fountain. By now, they are already drenched. Water had soaked their clothes.
“How are you feeling? Are you catching cold already?” Amelia asked, with concern on her face, as soon as they entered the mansion
“You should worry about yourself too, it seems like you’ll fall sick anytime soon”
A maid came over
“I’ll lead you, you have to get changed” The maid said to Amelia, before taking her away
******
“So….. This is the girl you are in love with?” Recee narrowed his gaze at Amelia, whose face was down
“Dad, I think you should stop this….. You are making her uncomfortable” Teddy rolled his eyes
“I’m only concerned about your safety, are you sure you truly like her?”
“Lets talk about this later, dad”
“What’s there to talk about? She is his girlfriend and that’s it. Brother loves her and she loves him too” Brielle said, taking her bottom lips in
“And I didn’t remember inviting you to this discussion, you should learn to keep quiet when elders are talking” Recee snapped
Amelia just watched them like movie, finding all that’s happening, very strange.
‘When did I turn Teddy’s girlfriend?’
‘They must be mistaken’
Numerous thoughts flashed through her head
Just then Teddy’s phone rang out and he picked it up
“We have to go now, thanks for the meal” He said, after he had finished answering the call. Without waiting for their reply, he grabbed her hand. Brielle rushed after them
“Brother, I have a request to make” She said and Ted turned to her
“My friends all have little ones to play with but I’ve got none, I need a little brother….. Or a sister will be a good idea” Brielle added
“You should tell Mom about that, she’ll have answers to that” Ted replied
“No…. I want a baby from the both of you” She dropped the bombshell
Amelia’s eyes widened, even Teddy was surprised
“What!!?”
“Is it hard? But you promised to give me anything I ask for …… Pretty, your boyfriend is hurting my feelings,,,,, you are gonna give me a baby, right?” Brielle turned to face her
“I’m….not…ready… to do that”
“Listen, we’ll think about this okay?” Teddy squatted to her level, looking at her in surprise, wondering where she learnt all this
“If you are giving me the baby, don’t bother coming over again” Brielle snapped, walking in briskly
“Are you okay?” Teddy turned to face Amelia, who was still in shock
“Is she really six years old?”

BLITZ COLLEGE**
“Good morning”Martins greeted, making Amelia smile
“We have to hurry, we are late” Amelia pouted
“And why are you always coming late?”
“What about you?” Amelia retorted and they bursted in laughter
“What’s your decision? Have you thought about it?” He said suddenly, making her heart skipped beats. That’s the question she’s dreading to hear from him but it seems she can’t escape it.
She swallowed into nothing, staring at his golden brown eyes and all she could see is love, care and affection
“Ahh…. I get it, you have all the time to think but I’m not taking no for an answer” He smiled
“I’ll get back at you very soon, I’m still trying to sort out my feelings”
Just then her phone pinged and she brought it out to check
*LET’S MEET, AMELIA * Jewel sent
*SURE* She replied, with a smile playing on her face.
“Who are you texting that’s making you smile this way?” Martins cleared his throat jealousy
“Let’s me see….. My boyfriend” She teased, titling her head sideways
“Are you jealous?” She added with a sheepish smile, playing on her face
“I know you don’t have a boyfriend, so that can’t work on me” He answered
Hazel and Bethel who was walking the opposite direction, got to them. They stopped right at their front, making Amelia nervous
“Just walk past us, Hazel…… What do you want again?” Martins said, looking at Hazel in the eyeball
“I came to tell her somerhing” Hazel smirked, she leaned closer to Amelia
“I have you at the back of my palm, murderer” She added in whispers, before walking off with Bethel
Amelia’s eyes widened and her face turned pale like she had been sick for ages. Tears started rushing down down her eyes, shocking Martins
“Is anything wrong? Why the tears? Did she threaten you or something? What did she say to you?” Amelia didn’t even reply him before rushing off
****
“You can’t be here” A guard said, stopping Amelia
“I wanna leave here” She whimpered, trying to push them off
“Angel?” Teddy advanced closer to her, he pulled her to himself, hugging her tightly
“I’m tired of staying in this school, I’m not a murderer…… I’m just someone who want to live a normal life” Amelia broke down into sobs
“You are not a murderer but an Angel in human form” Ted comforted, he rested her head on his chest, patting her softly

LEWIS NEIGHBORHOOD**
“You’ve been pacing around since I came here, what do you have to say?” Amelia said to Jewel, who had a worried look on his face
“I think I’m doomed” Jewel finally broke the ice
“What happened?”
Jewel explained all to Amelia, making her gasp
“You should have just explained it to him instead of running away, who knows what he’ll be thinking?” Amelia snapped
“I couldn’t think straight, I can’t even stand talking to him. I’m just an ordinary person, talking to a STAR? Such a great fairytale” Jewel rolled her eyes
“Yours is better, I don’t even know what to do but one thing is sure, I’ll leave Blitz college very soon….. Besides, three people asked me out”
Jewel’s eyes widened in surprise
“Like seriously, you are the real deal girl. Tell me about them, I’ll help you choose the perfect person. Who are they? Students of Blitz? Rich? Popular?”
“Finn asked me out”
“What!!? That one is out of the league…… Who is he to ask you out? I thought it’s someone better,,,, who is the next person?”
“Someone in my class, he’s friendly and very nice” Amelia pouted
“He might be considered, who’s the last one?”
“Teddy”
“What!!? You mean the Ted we both know, like Teddy? Like the STARS?” Jewel screamed
“Yeah, it surprised me too….. He said I should stay by his side always” Amelia replied
“I think I’ve found the perfect one….. Choose Teddy or what do you think?”
“What about Martins?” Amelia retorted, getting confused already
“I’ll have to meet with them personally and interview them, then we’ll know the perfect one”
“Coming from someone who ran away from her so-called boyfriend” Amelia teased, taking her heels
“What!?? Are you kidding me right now?” Jewel ran after her
“I’m getting tired already, let’s stop” Amelia begged
“Just continue running cause if I catch you, you are f***ing dead”

THE STARS MANSION**
Teddy entered the kitchen and he met Amelia doing the dishes
“Sir, what do you want? What are you doing here?” Amelia asked surprised
“I came to see you” He smiled, sitting on the deep freezer
“See me? Is anything wrong?” She blinked rapidly
“I came to see your cute face” He replied, making her face turn red
“Are you blushing? Did that work on you?” He laughed out
The door bell rang and she stopped what she was doing. She went to the door and opened it
“Mom….. What are you doing here? How did you find this place?”
Her gaze trailed from her Mom’s to Finn, who had a blank look on his face
“Get your bags Amelia”Beatrice said coldly and she could feel shivers running down her spine
