My Possessive Triplets

Adjusting

Macey

Today is my first day at college and I'm excited about it partly because I want to make new friends and forget the trauma of losing my parents.

My aunt had taken me through the admission process and now, I was ready to hop into class.

It's been a week since I arrived here and honestly, the place isn't as I expected. They say, don't judge a book by its cover, what is inside might blow your mind.

I had thought that the kingdom would be as boring as s**t after stepping here for the first time. Now, I share a different opinion about the place.

It's everything different from what a city could offer. It's relaxing here and filled with serenity as my aunt said. Oh, and don't forget, the people here are very friendly and accomodating.

They didn't make me feel like a stranger. They treat me as if they've known me all my life.

I do find their friendly nature odd but that doesn't mean I'm not enjoying it.

With the last touch of my makeup, I walk downstairs.

My aunt, Fiona, and her husband Leonardo have not been blessed with children even after trying for so long.

Life can be cruel, especially to such sweet people. They have been treating me as their own, reminding me about how life was when my parents were still alive.

“I thought you would never leave your room,” my aunt joked and I smiled.

I admit, I did take a little long to get ready.

“You are looking absolutely beautiful,” uncle Leo commented.

“But my wife will always be the most beautiful in my eyes,” he added, moving to place a kiss on her cheeks.

Aunt Fiona blushed.

“Stop it,” she giggled yet I could tell she loved his PDA.

After breakfast, which was made of my favourite pancakes sprinkled with jam, I headed out to school.

The college wasn't far from our house and although I would have preferred to walk, my aunt insisted on driving me there.

“They would kill me if they saw you walking to college even if it was two steps away from here," aunt Fiona had said as she pushed me into the car and I didn't have time to ask her who or why.

“Have fun,” she said, winking at me after dropping me at the school gate.

I took a deep breath, the air filling my lungs and making me smile.

The clean and pure air here wasn't something you would find in the city. Here, it felt like being close to nature which was refreshing.

I had not taken ten steps when someone called my attention from behind.

“Are you the new student?” The lady asked, smiling at me.

I frowned at her words but nodded regardless.

“How did you know?”

“The pack isn't large and it's not hard to know when someone new arrives. Besides, everyone is talking about the new girl being… sorry,I am speaking a lot,aren't I?” She snickered then clamped her mouth shut with her hand.

“Being what?” I asked her with c****d brows.

“I...err… beautiful, yea,beautiful. They say you are such a beauty,” she explained, albeit awkwardly.

I could tell she did withhold some information from me but I didn't press on the matter.

“Oops, forgive my manners. I am Linda, Linda Wales and in my second year at the college,” she introduced, extending her hand for a shake.

“Macey Summers,” I said, taking her hand.

“I hope we can be friends, Macey,” she said excitedly.

I could tell she was a bubbly person and very charming.

“Why not?” I replied with a smile.

Since she was the first person to propose friendship to me, I couldn't turn her down. Besides, I could tell we would make the best of friends. I already liked her.

We walked to the school premises chatting about nothing and everything.

I came to know that although we were taking different courses, we would be sharing some classes for the common units.

Linda and I parted ways, each going to their respective classes with the promise of meeting up at the canteen for lunch.

Walking down the pathway leading to my morning class, I had this weird feeling that someone was watching me.

Turning around, I caught no suspicious gaze. Everyone was on their business making me wonder if I was actually just Imagining it.

Shaking that feeling off, I made my way to the lecture hall.

The class went on smoothly and when it ended, I hopped to the next.

I could not wait for lunchtime to clock so that I could see Linda again.

“Hey, your hair looks so beautiful,” a lady commented from behind me where I sat in class.

Turning back, I flashed her a smile, not forgetting to say thank you.

“Be careful though, don't land yourself into trouble or you might not get the chance to admire it in the mirror again,” she said, her voice a shade darker and carrying a hint of a warning.

Is she threatening me? I wasn't stupid not to perceive her unfriendly tone. I was taken aback wondering why she would use that tone with me. I don't remember offending her or something.

Before I could ask her what her deal was, she walked away, followed by two other girls who seemed to be like her lackeys with how they glared at me as they walked away.

Her words set me in a bad mood and even throughout the lecture, my mind kept wandering back to her words.

I was among the first to leave when the class ended.

As agreed, Linda was waiting for me at the canteen.

“Over here!” She waved at me shouting.

I can't understand how the girl manages to wear a smile on her face all the time.I can't see myself doing that or I might suffer from facial paralysis from faking that s**t. She is one real b***h with how genuine her smiles are.

Walking to the table, Linda had already served lunch for us.

With a simple thank you, I started to dig in. I was hungry as much as I was annoyed.

“Easy there!” Linda giggled. “ Why does it feel like you have a grudge with the food?” She snickered.

I was about to rant when the murmurs erupted throughout the canteen as everyone's eyes fixed on the entrance.

Curious, I turned to look in the direction and my heart almost popped from my chest when I caught sight of three drop dead gorgeous specimens walking inside.

Wow!
