NEVER ENDING STORY by Tifanny (novels to read in english .TXT) 📖

Its been a year since my father died due to unknown cause. Once I think about it I never met him before, my life had always been all over the place. I was the ‘cursed child’ everyone hated. That didn’t really made my life horrible, in fact it was for the better. Solitude had always been my forte, I never had to complicate my life with ‘friends’. I did once had a friend. Well for a five year old, of course I wanted to fit in. Nonetheless, it didn’t end well. She had me worked like a slave, pretty twisted for a five year old.

Now, I’m just an average high school sophomore. I’m still a loner but it doesn’t bother me much. Everyday is a boring, uneventful drag. I’m still wondering why I’m sticking around. My academics and athletic rates were to top the charts but that’s just a way to keep the school’s mouth shut from complaining about my attitude. It worked.

“Charlotte!” I turned to see a classmate of mine walking towards me in hurry. What’s her deal? I didn’t really care to remember each and every name of my classmates. She’s a brunette with hazel eyes. I shall call her brownie, I thought in my head. “Miss Maria was looking for you” she said panting while bending over to catch her breath. She had an awful lot of books in her hand. Ok, bookworm.
“Yea? I assume she’s in the teacher’s lounge?” before she could answer, I left her as she sorts out her respiratory system.

While walking towards the teacher’s lounge I noticed a guy leaning against the wall staring at me like I was a steak. He had the most beautiful and mysterious amethyst coloured eyes. They had me feel a little strange. I can’t take my eyes off of him. I broke our eye contact since I had arrived in front of the teacher’s lounge. I could still feel his stare digging a hole through my head.

“Charlotte, you’re here.” Miss Maria had always been a worrywart so I automatically though she would give me another outrageously long lecture about my life, but God finally gave me mercy as it seems that wasn’t the reason. Whatever it is, I’m going to get it over with as quick as possible so I can finally go back to class. Not that I enjoy studying, it just I can’t wait to catch up on my sleep. Sure it bugged the hell out of the teachers, as long as I get straight full marks they can’t complain. The thing I loved most, my genius brain….and skittles. Delicious rainbow goodness.

“Can you make this quick, teach? I have other things to do.” Miss Maria had a sweet little frown on her face before she passed me a sheet of paper. I took a quick glance at the paper. “So, where’s the kid?” I asked her short and simple. “I wish you would act your age.” She mumbled through her teeth. I didn’t care, right now I just need to escort this kid to his classes without a mentioning a word. I slowly raise my head, to my surprise it’s the weird guy that keeps staring me earlier at the hall. Oh great, I thought to myself.

“This is Charles Anderson. He just transferred and his family gives yearly donations to the school. I want you to show around the school and he’s attending the same classes as you.” Pfft,'yearly donation'.

“Great, can we go now?” She had the most irritated face and I swear she glared at me before we left. Not to mention the guy is still staring.

All the other kids looked at us. Not to brag but I did have a gorgeous elegant face, silky smooth blonde hair and perfect body. I had the curves those girls would die for. That was one reason but I think it was because this guy behind me was a god like hottie. He had paler skin than me. Which made me think about what his mother craved during her pregnancy.

That also made me think about my mom. I wondered what she was like, I don’t even know her face because she died giving birth to me. Getting myself straight, I gave his schedule back to him as I showed him the school ground.

“Um, so the first class is biology by Mr Ashton. As long as you ace his class I’m sure you’ll be fine. He rarely gives us of assignments, when he does it would be wise to finish it on time.” I gave a short lecture about his classes and the teaching style they use. The entire time he sat next to me class after class he didn’t even move a muscle like saying ‘hi’ for instance. Who am I to complain, neither did I. Before I knew school was over and I took my bag and ready to storm back home. I was done babysitting.

Oh, did I mention that my father gave me his whole property. He was a wealthy guy. Land after land, billion of dollars.

Maybe I'll buy a rainbow from a leprechaun or buy Disney channel and make them play horror movies, scaring the shit out of children. Yup, lots of benefits there.

I intend to keep that money under covers, it not like I’m a excessive money spender. I don’t really know what to do. The only property I used was his mansion 30 minutes from school. Fred, the butler told me that he bought this mansion in order to spy on me at school. I’m 17 and I’m the Chairman of William Corp. It wasn’t hard to handle a company, I did have a genius brain. I got to admit, being a chairwoman wasn’t on the top of my list.

“Mistress, welcome back. How was your day at school?”
“It was fine, I’ll have lunch in the study.” I gave him my bag and coat. I still had tons of paper work to settle.
“Like usual.” He said briefly before he resumed his duty.

I usually spend the whole day checking documents and working my ass off in the study. I didn’t really have time to waste. The board members isn’t that easy to tame. I need to show them that I excel in leadership. Or maybe I’ll just slip in a few packets of skittles into their pockets. Good stuff.

I took a glance at the clock and realised it was way past three in the morning. Damn, I’m going to have bags under my eyes tomorrow. I slowly moved to my bedroom and collapsed on the soft queen sized bed. Ah, it felt great. Suddenly that guy’s face popped into my head. I want to see him badly, exhaustion must’ve been messing with my head. Why would I want to see that guy? I just met him a day and I long for him.

I closed my eyes tight and drift away. A sudden warmth perch on my skin. I caught a familiar scent of dark spices. Soon the warm touch left me yet, the scent still lingers soothing me like a lullaby.

The sun rays its light onto my eyelids causing me to wake up. To my surprise, I was tucked into bed. I swear I wasn’t under the covers before I pass out.

“Ok, I had too much going on. I’m going nuts” My eyes widen as I caught a glimpse of the clock. I'M LATE! Why didn’t Fred wake me up? I had a quick shower and slip into a white tight jeans and a navy blue sweater. I put on the stilettos and ran downstairs.

“Good morning Mistress. How would you like your eggs? ”
“Fred, I don’t have time. I’m late!” I took a piece of toast and dash towards the door.
“Mistress, its Saturday.” I turned to him in disbelief. He just smiled as I froze in front of the door. “ I really need to get my head together” I said before taking a seat at the dining table.

“Mistress, perhaps you need a short vacation? Just enough to relief the burden”
“I don’t know, those old geezers aren’t letting me off easy”
“They might be strict but they are very loyal. I will inform the school of your absence.”
“Sounds good to me. Oh and Fred, gather documents that needs immediate attention and put them on my desk in the study along with the history of the company including records of past deals. I’ll attend to them after breakfast.” “As you wish.”

The next three days was a blast, I had my little vacation at Hawaii. I settled in a villa my father owned, very cosy. I stayed inside during the day because I had to finish piles after piles of document that I brought with me that just had to be attended to.

DAMN PAPERS…

At night I went to the beach, luckily the moon was brightly glowing upon the ocean. Such a breathtaking scene, I spent the whole night staring at the marvellous scene just wondering how Charles was doing. What am I thinking?

I went inside and had a nice comfortable bath time to refresh myself. I had the tub filled with bubbles. I dipped my feet in to test the temperature, just right. Oh lovely bubbles, bubbles, bubbles.

Someday I will take control of the world with BUBBLE POWER! Those damn papers will cower in fear. Someday….

Finally, I’m home. I was tired of seeing hot guys walking around in their swimming attires, I lied I love it. So sexy! ANYWAY being home is really comforting, I miss Fred, the maids, Spongebob, my secret stash of skittles and…..Charles.

I got up and wore a regular blue jeans, a white cowl-neck cotton-blend top and a pair of Jimmy Choo’s Lauren diamanté and suede sandals. I’m not used to wearing these expensive ‘stuff’, but I had to. Fred made me do it. The poor guy means no harm.

I sat at the back of the class like usual, glancing here and there just to see if ‘he’ was here. I was a bit upset not seeing him there.

“Looking for me?” he whispered near my ear. My heart literally went crazy.
“N..no, I was uh looking for mosquitoes” I want to slap my stupid mouth.
“Oh really?” he snickered as he sit beside me. Ok, I want to hang myself…in
