Chapter Four: And Life Worth Living

After her fight with Carlos, Anabel was into deep thinking. Van was driving her in his sliver Mercedes 200 without question or conversion. Van didn't like Carlos too much; he thought Carlos was too old for Anabel by four years, but who's counting?

Anabel met Carlos through an old friend from Puerto Rico. Anabel was advanced by Carlos everyday ever since they met. Anabel resisted, but it would never go away. But sometimes, Carlos would be so sweet. Now, Anabel was thinking about whether their relationship was a mistaken.

Anabel realized a couple of points about her relationship with Carlos: 1.) Carlos really or might've love her to the point where he's unknownly selfish and arrogant, 2.) Anabel never really liked Carlos a lot. She only went out with him to give him a chance. And 3.) Anabel and Carlos fight a lot over her and her politeness with guys at school.

Anabel decided to break up with Carlos, text message style. Anabel took out her T-Moblie sidekick and texted:

I'm srry. I can't take it anymore w/ u. I want to be only friends. Srry but I'm breaking up w/ u.

Anabel pressed send to Carlos and turned her phone off for the day. There was traffic, but Anabel didn't care. Anabel wondered what she did was right. For now, she is a free woman.

William Dunbar walked along side in the school yard. It has been a few months since he has been free of Xana. Ever since he was rejected by Yumi, he's been emotionally depressed, aggressive, fiercely tough, and cold hearted. William never smiled that smile again, his grades were up only because he didn't sneak out as much, and William made it fiercely clear that he wanted to be alone from everyone else.

William would talk to Yumi, Aelita, and Odd, when he was forced everyone else in the school, they were all afraid of him. Even the teachers were afraid of his new attitude. But William didn't care; he didn't care at all anymore.

William sat at the famous bench alone. William sat there when he wanted to let his anger out in a quiet, peaceful way. If it frustrated him more, he could always go back to his room and cut himself with a knife. When Aelita found this a week ago when barging into his room, he was forced to do let his anger her way.

His anger started after he got rejected by Yumi. A lot of things happened to him: William was going through tramatic nightmares every night and couldn't help him, not even his parents. William was bullied by his peers and became antisocial, until he snapped and they didn't go near him ever again.

William closed his eyes and looked down. Meanwhile, Anabel followed Van into the noise-filled school yard. Anabel changed from her navy blue uniform into a white hoodie sweater, Demin jeans, and white Nike sneakers.

"I'm going back home to find the paperwork for Kadic. In the meantime, find the principle's office and surely someone will show you around," Van said.

"Dad, you forget it again?" Anabel shook her head.

"It's not my fault the season premire of Lost was on that day. I gotta go. Good luck." With that, Van walked away back to his car. Anabel sighed.

Out of the corner of her eye, Anabel saw a black haired boy on the bench. Anabel couldn't put her finger on it, but she feels she knows him. Anabel sighed and decide to ask the lonely boy for directions.

William wasn't dreaming, but he was calming down his anger in a healthy way. No one will disturb him now…

"Excuse me, do you know where the principle's office is?" a melodic voice asked, making William's eyes snapping. His deadly glared face looked up to see where the face came from. His face instead turned into shock and sorrow as he saw a familiar face.

"Anabel?" William asked. Anabel was taken back when she heard a familiar face. She looked up to see a familiar.

"William?" asked Anabel in concern. What the hell?! How did he get here? And why is he sad to see me?It's history repeating itself again.
