Caught between the boyfriend she thought she loved and the boy she can't seem to stay away from, Randell finds herself trapped in a love triangle she never saw coming. Just when she thinks she's beginning to understand Alex, she discovers that he's hiding far more than he's willing to admit.

CHAPTER 1

A loud bang on my door jolted me awake.

“Randellllll” my sister yelled as she burst into my room and jumped on my bed.

“UGU…. What the hell?” I groaned, pulling a pillow over my face.

“Look, Randell!” she said, shoving my laptop in front of me.

“What now?” I muttered, squinting through sleepy eyes.

“You got it!”

“What?”

I sat upright and snatched the laptop from her hands.

“I got what?”

“The admission, genius!”

My eyes raced across the screen. For a moment, I couldn’t breathe.

“No way…….”

Then it hit me.

“Oh my God. This is real. I actually got in”

“I know!” she squealed. “You resume next week Monday, so we’ve got a lot to do. Shopping, packing, everything.”

I was still staring at the screen when she added, “And I already requested to join the school group for, so you miss any important information.”

I looked up at her and smiled.

“Thank you”

She grinned and headed for the door.

“What would you do without me?”

“Probably sleep a little longer.”

She laughed.

“Take your bath and come downstairs for breakfast. We’ve got a busy week ahead.”

As soon as my sister closed the door behind her, I jumped up excitedly, this was not actually my dream but I just wanted to leave home so I won’t become a topic of how I couldn’t join my mates to gain admission.

I hurriedly went into the bathroom to take my bath, then I rushed out, put on something simple and went downstairs for breakfast.
