Forcefully Claimed By My Alpha Stepbrother

Chapter 5

Fiona

'how bad can today get?' I thought as the water from the shower head flowed down my body.

The only thing I had been thinking since the night before was how I would fare in the new school. I didn't want to have a horrible experience, because I didn't know if I could handle it, and worst of all, Ethan and Brittany were going to be there.

I was sure that even if my life in the school was supposed to go well, they would try everything in their power to my my life miserable, and since Ethan was the son of the king, he would have a lot of friends and minions who would do as he said.

I sighed as I finally finished my shower. I got out of the bathroom after brushing my teeth and prepared the clothes I would wear to school.

As I pulled them on, the only thing I wished for was that at least, Olivia would be there at breakfast to encourage me, as she seemed to be the only one that liked me in the house.

As usual, one of the maids came up to call me for breakfast, and after I was done preparing, I went down the stairs. As I walked down the stairs, my waa heart beating fast and loud. And when I got to the dining table, everyone was already there, eating.

"I'm sorry for coming down late," I said to the king, and he laughed and nodded his head.

"There's no problem with that, Fiona. Sit down and eat," he smiled at me.

I looked at the other people at the dinner table. My mom was sitting at her usual place, with Ethan across her, and Olivia was sitting beside my mom. I decided to sit beside Oliva because I didn't want any more of Ethan's nonsense.

As I sat down, she smiled at me.

"How was your night?" She asked me and I nodded my head.

"It was good, and yours?"

"It was fine too," she answered with a smile.

She looked back at her plate and continued eating, while the maids served me mine. I looked down at the food.

I didn't think I could eat it, because my stomach wasn't in a good state. I was too nervous. I just picked up my fork and played with the food.

"What's wrong, dear?" Olivia asked, a worried look on her face.

"Nothing, I'm just nervous about today," I smiled shyly.

"Oh, it's okay to be nervous, but I'm sure everyone will love you," she said cheerfully.

"You should really stop lying to her, you know. It won't do her any good," Ethan added, and we both looked at him.

"What do you mean?" Olivia asked.

"How is anyone going to like her?" he asked as his eyes rested on me with so much disgust in them. "I'm sure no one would want to be seen with you, talk less being friends with you,"

"You really need to stop making these nonsense comments, Ethan," Olivia scolded, and he just shrugged his shoulders and went back to eating his food.

"You'll do great at school, dear," she said to me, and I just smiled at her and started eating.

After breakfast, it was time to go to school. Ethan didn't even want to be anywhere near me, so he refused to let me ride in the same car as him.

Olivia arranged for another car to take me to school and when I got there, it was far more than what I expected.

The school was huge, and there were a whole lot of students in the parking lot, and it seemed to be filled with rich kids, because of the cars and the way they were dressed.

As I walked towards the building, a lot of people stared at me. I looked down at the ground because I thought they were staring at me because of my size.

I just wanted the ground to open up and swallow me.

I headed straight to the admin office, and I was shown around. I was given my class schedule and taken to my homeroom. When I entered, all eyes were on me. They all stared at me like I was some sort of alien, and no one even tried to interact with me.

Classes started, and the teachers had me introduce myself to everyone, and they all murmured in return. Even though it wasn't going well, it wasn't bad, and I could live with that.

Lunch time finally came, and I still hadn't made any friends. I walked into the cafeteria and got the food I wanted before looking for an empty table to sit at.

I was seated there, peacefully eating when a tray was dropped loudly on the table. I gasped before I looked up to see who it was, and it was Ethan and Brittany.

"Well, if it isn't little Miss Fiona. I never thought you'd actually show your face in here," he said as he placed his chin on his hand and looked at me.

I looked away from him and looked down at my hands.

When he saw that I refused to look up at him, he reached over and pulled my glasses from my face.

"Hey!!" I exclaimed, trying to get my glasses back.

"Look how much food she has on her plate. Well, it's not like I'm surprised. You wouldn't be so fat if you didn't eat so much," Brittany giggled

By this time, everyone around us had stopped what they were doing and were laughing at me. I looked around, feeling more embarrassed than I've ever felt in my life. I decided to leave my glasses and run out of the cafeteria, not looking back.

The rest of the day went by without me noticing. I was in too much of a daze to even care. All I cared about was leaving and never coming back. Sometimes tears would fill my eyes, but I would quickly wipe them away so that no one would see them.

The news about what had happened in the cafeteria had spread, and people would laugh and point at me whenever they saw me.

Finally, school ended, and I rushed to the car that came to pick me up, and immediately it dropped me at the front door, I ran upstairs to my room, ignoring Olivia who called after me.

I entered my room and locked it after me, jumping into my bed, the tears finally flowing freely. Within the past week, the only thing I've felt every single day is hurt.

"Fiona! Open up!" Olivia shouted as she banged on my door. "Tell me what's wrong!" she said.

"I want to be alone... please," I said to her.

With that, the banging stopped, and I was finally left alone to cry my eyes out to my heart's content until I slept off.
