104 Loreleys Words and Agnis Pas (1/2)
Afterwards Olivia got her hot chocolate she sat down and picked up the letter again.She looked over the pages and sighed.”She must have really felt freed to write so much!” Olivia giggled.
”Agni has always been a little possessive and honestly it's horrifying.Looking back, if I never met Avery, I would have never known how psychotic she truly was.I mean she is pretty psychotic now but what she did to my birth father was on another level.Remember how we said she stalked your dad way back when, well....”
.....
Falicia Coblepot was a scrawny, awkward teen who mostly hide in the shadows.She had strange hobbies, a strange style and a stranger personality.She wore big round glasses that cover most of her face.Freckles that splashes across her face, and hair that was greasier than the cafeteria's mozzarella sticks and braid into two twin tails.
She was only 14 years old and she could care less what people thought of her.She didn't need anyone's attention or admiration she was already engaged to the most sought after guy, Avery Steel.Though they hadn't officially had their engagement party so shehappily relished the little secret between the parties.
It was her last year of middle school and she would be made to go to Azeri Academy as dictated by her family's tradition.She hated that she was forced to attend a commoner's middle school, the only good thing about going to the school has it was within walking distance of Rosario Academy, one of the three middle schools for the Elites.She would always rush out of class when the bell rang to go catch a glimpse of the man she loved, Avery Steel.
She would always hide behind the big old oak tree, waiting for Avery to step out of Rosario Academy with his friends.She sighed and drool as she hugged the tree.It was a shame they had almost no contact what so ever. She could only sigh as she hid. They had only met once and he helped her out at the social event.She still carried his handkerchief ever where she went and sniffed it for courage.
The year had gone by like the wind and Falicia was feeling downcasted.She wouldn't be able to see her dear Avery everyday after class as her school hours were longer then his.She would vent out her fustrations bykicking any small animal that dared approached her or yank out blossomed flowers and pretend it was actually people.In her anger she would grind her teeth and it started to give her migraines.
She spent a majority of her vacation crying, that is until her family was invited to a charity event.All the prominent families were mandated to attend and though her family was not as wealthy as most, they were very influential because of their proud lineage of Coblepots.Dating back to the decade after the city was formed their family has been around selling confectioners.
At least it was a name to be proud of or else the families would have never agreed to their union.Falicia giggled uncontrollably when her parents gave her the news.She quickly ran to her calendar and marked the date so she could count down the days until she was reunited with her sweet Avery.
Finally it was the night of the charity event.Only one week until school started and Falicia was determined to make an impression on Avery.She giggled to herself during the car ride to the hall as her brother Dexter tried to create more distance between them and avoided eye contact.
The moment they entered Falicia scanned the hall and spotted Avery.She started to awkwardly talk to herself.”Step one, introduce yourself.Step two, turn on the charm.Step three, make him fall for you so he waits for you outside the gate after school.” Dexter face palmed himself and started to side step away from his younger sister.He didn't even know how they could be related and often wished they weren't.
Falicia tried walking gracefully towards Avery and almost made it but suddenly the lights were switched off and spot lights were turned towards the stage.”Esteemed guests, we are here today to present to you some young minds and extraordinary talent.As you know we are the elite of society and as the elites we are to set an example to everyone in this wonderful city.”
”We are here today to do our annual scholarship event.The hand picked youth will show there faces here tonight and then mingle with all of you.Depending on your impression of them you will write a cheque with a dollar amount on it and deposit it into this secured box.Everything will remain anonymous so that the students do not have to be pressured into having to return your kindness.”
”So let's call out our 20 students who are eagerly hoping to get into the school of their dreams!” the announcer shouted and everyone started to applaud as the youth started to walk onto the stage.Falicia finally got to Avery and tugged on his sleeve.Avery looked over to her and continued to absent mindedly clap.
Falicia blushed red from head to toe. ”Hello my name is Falicia Coblepot nice to see you again.” she said loudly.Avery looked at her in confusion and was about to say something when the announcer called their attention again.”Our 19xx scholarship nominees!” he shouted and everyone erupted into cheers.
However Avery dropped his hands and jaw.His eyes were glued to the stage and his cheeks started to turn a beautiful shade of pink.Falicia tried to look where he was looking but couldn't see.So she tried getting his attention again.”Avery?” she called out but he gently tapped her hand.”So sorry could you please excuse me...I need to go o-over there... ya over there.”he said as he moved away.Leaving Falicia all alone as he ran off towards the stage.
The week passed by and Falicia was hopeful that she would find Avery waiting for her outside the Academy gates, it was only the first day of school but she still hoped she had made some sort of impression on him.He wasn't there.
She hoped for an entire month that he would be standing there but day after day after school she was incredibly disappointed.She finally decided to skip a day of school, stepped into a public washroom and changed her uniform to make herself look like a student of Lewood Academy.
