My Second Chance

Chapter - 3

I was sleeping peacefully until I heard the alarm go off. I opened my eyes and turned the alarm off. I got out of bed and noticed an outfit on the edge of the bed. I took a closer look and it was a uniform. I guess it was for my school. It's not fair, I finished school four years ago and now I have to go to school all over again. I removed the negative thoughts from my mind and went to the bathroom to get ready. I did my business and took a shower, brushed my teeth, and dried my hair. I put my hair into a high ponytail with a couple of loose strands. I went out of the bathroom with only a towel wrapped around me and comfy slippers. I changed into a uniform which consisted of a white shirt, black jacket, black skirt, white high-knee socks, and black shoes. I looked in the mirror and went to the vanity. I put on cherry red lipstick, eyeliner, and mascara and I did a little bit on my eyebrows.

After I was all done, I went downstairs and had breakfast. About 20 minutes passed by and Alex, my brother, joined us. Mother gave me my backpack and we left for school. As we were driving to school, I noticed him glancing at me with furrowed eyebrows.

"I have never seen you do your make-up like that before. You usually only put gloss on." He said outside of nowhere. I just rolled my eyes and looked out the window. Trying to memorize the path back, so I won't need to ask him for a ride back or to school.

We pulled up to a big ass school and we got out of the car. I grabbed my backpack and threw it over my shoulder. Being voiceless has its perks. I won't need to talk to anyone and I won't need to answer the teachers. We got inside the school and he showed me to my first class. He gave me a schedule of my classes for today and where to find them. I just took them and went inside.

When I got inside, I noticed everyone staring at me. Are they that surprised to see her? Well, more like me. Still need to get used to things.

I walked to the back of the class and sat next to a guy who looked like he was sleeping. I ignored their stares until I felt a piercing gaze. I looked towards a group of girls with black and blonde hair. By the way, they are dressed, those faces. Interesting, they must be the girls who did this to her. I felt the table move and so I looked at the guy and met his eyes.

"Oh, Shadow, you finally got here," The guy said, yawning. "Why didn't you reply to my message yesterday?" He raised an eyebrow.

So this guy must be that Daniel. I rolled my eyes and heard the bell ring. I quickly looked at the books he had on his table and I took the same books out. I'll have to open that stupid diary if I want more specific and correct information. I just hope she's not completely different from me.

The teacher walked in and looked in my direction, she showed a small smile and started teaching.

"Psst, psst" I looked at Daniel and he showed me a few messages. It was a group chat and it was all about me. I furrowed my eyebrows. They can't say it to my face?

"Shadow what do you think?" The female teacher asked me. She had a worried expression on her face. I moved my shoulder up and down witch seemed to displease her. "Shadow, do you not understand, or do you not know?" By this point, everyone was looking at me. How am I supposed to tell her that I can't talk? I looked toward Daniel and pointed at my throat. He nodded and stood up.

"Miss, Shadow can't talk," he said. I quickly took my notepad and pen, wrote something down, and showed him. He looked at what I wrote and looked at the teacher again. "Her vocal cords are broken and she has Amnesia". He then looked at me with wide eyes. And mouthed a what? I just rolled my eyes and looked at the teacher.

"Oh if that's the case, my apologies, I wasn't informed of your current situation." She said with a sense of guilt. I nodded at her and we continued as if nothing happened. I took notes in class and made sure to remember what the teacher said.

The bell rang and I went to the next lesson. Daniel followed behind me. I entered the classroom and he joined me. There were four guys in the classroom and one of them was looking at me. Daniel showed me where I always sit and I sat down. He took out his phone and opened his notebook.

"Shadow, why aren't you coming to say hi to me?" A guy said from behind me. I turned around and saw the guy that was talking. I saw the anger on his face to which I just rolled my eyes. I felt Daniel getting closer to me and then he whispered, "That's Carl. Your boyfriend. Also known as the school's player. He has been trying to sleep with you for the last three months but you always reject him." I nodded and then flipped him off. A school player, huh? That's common in high school. I took Daniel's phone and asked him what grade I was in.

"Oh, we are in the eleventh grade of the second semester," he said with a smile. I nodded at him and took out my phone. A code. I furrowed my eyebrows and showed them to Daniel. "Oh, you forgot that too, huh." He showed me the code and I smiled at him. He smiled back and started laughing.

"What's so funny?" Carlo asked. I looked at him and rolled my eyes. I saw him stand up and so did I. Before he could get any closer, the bell rang and the teacher walked in. I smirked at him and flipped my hair. I sat down and smiled at the teacher who had just came in.

The rest of the day went on the same. I came to class, Daniel explained to the teacher my current situation and then they just ignored me. When my last class was over, my brother Alex was near the exit waiting for me. We drove back home and went to our rooms. I hate the fact that this brother's name is the same as my ex's, but there are differences between them. My brother has black hair and brown eyes. He has dirty blonde and blue eyes. My brother was popular and I could see through his clothes that he was even muscular, while my ex wasn't that muscular, nor popular.

I took a shower and changed into some white two-piece silk pajamas and put on some slippers. I dried and combed my hair, then I put it into a high ponytail and braided it. After I was done, I walked downstairs and went to the basement. There was a schedule. I looked around and saw a lot of gym equipment lying around. I looked at the schedule again and saw that Alex works out here five times a week for 2 hours. I walked to the mirror and saw my weak, fragile form. I frowned. I took a pen from the table and put my name on the schedule. Six times a week for three hours. That should bring me back to my shape and form.

I went back upstairs and sat down in the living room. I turned on the television and switched to the news channel. I was about to grab a book from the bookshelf until I realized the face and voice on the news. Alexander Giul Fredrick. That f*****g asshole. I'm going to rip him apart.

"Mr. Fredrick. In what city will you be building your new business?"

"What will it be about and why?"

"What are your plans?"

"What do you think about Miss Florina?"

"What about your brother? Is he alright?"

"What happened to Miss Diamond? Do you have any regrets? Do you still miss her? If so, why haven't you visited her grave?"

The reporters kept asking him questions, but the last reporter's question hit me. Looks like he won't be getting rid of me that easily. I smiled to myself. I saw his bodyguards blocking the cameras and reporters then getting into his limo and driving off. I take a random book from the bookshelf and sit on the sofa. Changing the channel to a documentary channel and started reading a book. By the time I was done reading, I noticed Alex sitting on the other end of the sofa and looking at me. I raised an eyebrow and he cleared his throat.

"So you started exercising? And I heard you broke up with Carl when I told mom she was so happy that she's thinking of baking a cake for you," he said, resting his head on his palm.

I pulled my phone out of my pocket and started writing. 'So what if I break up? He's not worth my time and please tell mom that she doesn't need to bake me a cake, it's too many calories. Thanks' After I was done writing, I gave him my phone. He read it and I noticed a smile forming on his face. He nodded and gave it back. He then stood up and walked out of the living room.

I got up and put the book back in its place, then went to the dining room. We finished eating and I went to my room. I continued guessing the code and then finally. *Click* It's open! A huge smile appeared on my face. I finally did it. I heard a knock on the door and I quickly closed it. Putting it back in place. The door opened to reveal my mother. I guess. She said goodnight and turned off the light. I sighed and just fell onto my pillow, putting the covers over my body and quickly falling asleep.
