Ethan's lips stayed parted and he blinked severally trying to process what he just heard. Just then, his lips curved up as he shove his both hands in his pocket.

"Break all ten" He smirked giving Bastian a snubby look.

"What!!!!" Bastian's eyes widened like that of the moon. He felt Annabelle shift his hand. "Wait!! C'mon Ethan. You can't do this to me.. please" He said.

"Did I hear you say something?" Ethan raised his brow.

"I said please. Fine I'm sorry for trying to hurt you just don't let her break my fingers. C'mon we are on the same team. We are friends" Bastian sniffed once.

"Only fools will want to be your friend, fine.. let her break five then" Ethan said.

Annabelle made to break his hand and he scream again.

"Wait!!! Don't please. I won't bother you again I promise!" Bastian yelled.

Ethan thought for a while before speaking again. "Fine let him go"

"Are you sure? I thought I'll enjoy the feeling of breaking some of his fingers but you ruin it. I shouldn't have asked you" she said standing on her Feet.

Bastian distant himself from her after he was released and walked away in a hurry with his minions.

Ethan look down at Annabelle. "Thanks" he muttered.

"You're not welcome" she said walking pass him.

"What took you so long?.. busy with some evil things?" He asked.

"Kinda" she replied and he chuckled.

Jennifer and others spot them from afar. Jennifer's face dropped seeing Annabelle with Ethan. When did they get close? Ethan kept on smiling while talking to her.

"Who's she?" Selene asked staring at Annabelle.

"She's the new girl in school" Liam replied.

"Wow, she is all black and white" Selene muttered with her lips parted.

"Hey guys" Ethan greeted but none of them replied. They were all staring at the girl beside him. Jennifer clinched her fist beside her.

"You didn't tell us you're bringing someone" Liam said to Ethan.

"I didn't get the chance to tell you. Let's go in" He said.

"She is like a live Instagram black and White filter" Serene whispered to Liam.

"She called the whole class abnormal on her very first day at school" Liam said and she gasp.

"I like her already" Serene smiled and walked towards Annabelle.

"Hi I'm Selene, Liam's girlfriend"

"She's not!" Liam exclaimed.

"You're were a bit late" Jennifer notice the bruise at one side if his lips. She outstretch her hand to touch it. "What happened?" She frowned.

"Oh, it's nothing" Ethan said.

"What do you mean?"

"I fell that's all" He lied.

Annabelle gave them a look.

While the movie was going Annabelle was so focus on the big screen before her. She have never seen something like this before.

Ethan saw her stun face and smile. She look like a kid visiting the modern world for the first time. This got him wondering where she came from.
