The next morning, Sandra awoke with a lazy smile. Her bed was nowhere near as comfortable as the bed she was currently asleep in. She didn't even want to get out of bed but she had to since she had school to get to. She sat up and stretched. Her eyes opened and she fell off the bed in shock. Standing at the doorway with an amused smile was the mansion's butler.
"Master Castiel will be happy to see you are awake" The butler entered and then gestured to the closet where a brand new uniform was waiting for her.
"A new uniform? What happened to the old one? And my bag? My shoes?" Sandra asked, climbing out of bed.
"Master Castiel decided to dispose of them and bought new ones. He bought you the exact same shoes, bag and books" the butler replied.
"And my bike?"
"We have a selection in the living room waiting for you"
Sandra had a great time trying out the ten bikes that were waiting for her but she blanched when she saw the prices. Her uniform and books were expensive enough but there was no way she would let Castiel buy her a £3000 bike.
"Please do not reject Master Castiel's generosity. He believes that what happened is partially his fault and so he would like you to accept his forgiveness" The butler said when Sandra voiced her concerns to him.
"Okay fine" Sandra relented.
"Time for breakfast"
The butler led her to the extravagant dining room and seated her. The maids began serving her and Sandra gasped at all the gourmet cuisine.
"This morning's breakfast consists of fresh filet, a bowl of fruits, coffee cake and fresh fruit juices of your choice" The butler announced.
"Um... I don't really eat all this for breakfast" Sandra said, biting her lip.
"What would you like then? We can make anything for you" The butler asked.
"How about a bowl of Cheerios' and a cup of tea?" Sandra said and the butler smiled.
"It has been long since I've served simple cereal but nevertheless..." The butler clapped his hands and the maids took away the gourmet food.
"Where is Castiel? I haven't seen him yet" Sandra asked, trying not to make her curiosity so obvious.
"He left early this morning. He had some important work to do" the butler replied.
Will yawned as he headed to the door. Whoever was knocking was rather relentless.
"Sandra, is that you?" Will pulled open the door and then froze.
Castiel scrutinised the boy in front of him. With spiked black hair and dark eyes similar to Sandra's, the boy could only be either twelve or thirteen. Castiel stepped back in surprise as the door shut on his face. Will ran to his laptop and began searching. He stared at the picture of Castiel on Google and gasped.
"Who was at the door?" Bob, their father asked. He had emerged from his room still dressed in his PJs.
"Cas-Cas-..." Will stuttered.
"What is wrong with you? Who was at the door?" Bob asked.
Will didn't say a word but just pointed at the screen. Bob peered down at the screen and then smiled.
"Whose son is that? He's quite handsome" Bob commented.
"It's Castiel Martinez, heir of Amoris Group of companies. He's here!"
"Where? At the door?"
Bob and Will jumped up and ran towards the door. Will pulled it open and there stood Castiel with a smile on his face. Bob gasped and then yelled for his wife, Irene.
"What's wrong?" Irene asked emerging from her room. Castiel smiled at her innocently and made her freeze in her tracks.
"I hope you don't mind me intruding like this. I just wanted to see your lifestyle" Castiel said after they were all seated in the living.
He glanced around the room, noting the number of pictures of Sandra and Will holding up various trophies. There was a photo of Sandra holding a large trophy and grinning for the camera.
"That was the junior tournament in the under 14 category. She won in singles and came in third at doubles with her partner Regina. Sandra loves tennis more than anything" Bob said.
"I love computers" Will exclaimed while gobbling up a slice of pizza.
"And pizza too" Bob said.
"Here you go, my young lord, homemade porridge with freshly baked bread" Irene said.
She set down the tray and served all of them. Castiel ate some gingerly but then found it was absolutely delicious. He finished up his bowl and even had seconds.
"Does Sandra know how to cook like this?" Castiel asked.
"Of course. I've taught her everything I know" Irene replied.
Castiel smiled and then continued eating. Sandra sighed, feeling exceedingly uncomfortable as she stepped out of the limo. Everyone stared but it didn't take long for the limo to leave and for the students to converge on her.
"Sandra, darling!"
Sandra grimaced as Amber converged on her and took her arm.
"There is something you simply need to see!"
The trio dragged Sandra all the way across the school campus to the lunchroom/restaurant. They stopped right in front of a TV where a school announcement was being displayed. Sandra spotted a photo of Melody from kindergarten and middle school. Those two pictures showed a rather chubby but cute little girl. The next picture which was of high school showed a drastic change. Melody was now skinny with high cheekbones, large blue eyes and long beautiful brown hair.
"I can't believe she had plastic surgery done. She still looks ugly" Amber said, still holding onto Sandra's arm.
"If I looked like that, I would totally die" Li said.
"Poor Sandra, Melody did all those cruel things to you" Charlotte tittered.
Sandra tugged her arm away from Amber and stepped forward. She turned and then stared at all of the students around her.
"Your eyes" she pointed to Li. "Your nose" she pointed at Charlotte. "And your lips" she pointed at Amber who glared at Sandra. "You've all had something done on your faces and even your bodies. Plastic surgery is okay for a pretty girl but not for an ugly girl? You all are just hypocrites".
Melody paused on the stairs of the lunchroom and Sandra stalked away from the group of students. She stopped short when she saw Melody who had tears in her eyes.
"I won't apologise to you" Melody said.
A smack was heard and Melody clutched at her cheek. Sandra lowered her hand. Melody sniffled before speaking up again.
"I won't beg for forgiveness either"
Another smack was heard and Sandra shook her head in sadness. She sidestepped Melody and climbed up the stairs and out of the lunchroom. Melody walked out carrying her school bag and into her limo. The TVs at school announced that Melody was returning to Germany. Sandra opened her gym locker and found another little stuffed lamb dressed in the Amoris High uniform smiling up at her.
She lifted it up and pressed on its paw.
I didn't want to ask for forgiveness because I tried to get my first love. I deserved the slaps you gave me. Thank you, Sandra. For everything.
Sandra, for the first time since finding out Melody's betrayal, began to cry. She hugged the lamb to her chest and curled up on the floor with tears running down her face.
The next day, Sandra found a letter in her locker telling her to come to the F4 lounge. She obeyed the letter only to have Castiel drag her out and into the lunchroom where most of the school was gathered.
"I have an announcement to make!" Castiel called out.
The students gathered quickly and Sandra looked down at the floor so she wouldn't have to meet anyone's gaze.
"I am here to announce that Sandra Ryancrest, tennis team third seed and member of the sophomore class is now my girlfriend" Castiel said.
"Wait, what?" Sandra ducked out from under his arm in shock.
Amber fainted into her friends' arms as many of the boys' wolf whistled. Nathaniel and Dake highfived before applauding.
"I object to that!"
They all turned to find Lysander standing there with a smile.
"Lysander!" The two blond members of the F4 exclaimed. Sandra let out a smile and Castiel frowned a little bit.
"I'm back" Lysander said with a little wave.
I'm truly sorry for not updating. I was vacationing but I'm back and so is Lysander. Bring on the drama! After my next update, the poll will officially close so vote on your choice. I personally think it should be Castiel so I'd much rather throw the poll in the trash and go along with the story the way I want it to go. Anyways, review and tell me what you think about the chapter.
