Alyson Danielle FroebelI was washing all the plates and trying to finished as soon as possible in order to join the party. After a while, my eyes caught into the music room which I always spent time when I had the time. I went inside and my favourite grand piano was left there as pretty as usual. I opened the cover, sat down on the chair and ran my fingers through the piano. I started singing my favourite song from Camp Rock which is This is Real, This is me by Demi Lovato but my own style.
This is Real, This is Me
Do you know what is like to feel so in the dark.
To dream about a life,
Where you’re the shinning star,
Eventhough it seems,
Like it’s to far away,
I have to believe in myself is the only way.
This is real, this is me,
I’m exactly where I’m suppose to be now,
Gonna let the light shine on me,
Now I found, who I am,
There’s no way to hold it in,
No more hiding who I wanna be,
This is me.
I ended the song and went out through the back door which is connected to the kitchen. I continued washing the dishes when Anders looking for me.
“Hey, Aly. Need some help?” Anders asked, smiling while videotaping me washing the dishes.
“Anders! Stop with the videotaping will you.” I flicked the water on him.
“What did you just do?”
“Erm…let’s see. I flicked water on you.”
“Right. You are gonna get it from me.”
“Oh-no you don’t.”
“Oh yes I will.”
I ran and Anders sprayed water at me using the long hose. Anders and I really had fun then. It reminds me the times we had since young with dad of course.
*FLASHBACK*
“Darling Aly and Anders! Come here.” Dad called me and Anders.
“Yes, papa.” We ran towards him and sat on his lap.
“So, what do you want to play today?”
“Erm…let’s see. How about hide-and-seek?” I said, smiling.
“No…I want to play water gun.” Anders said.
“No…hide-and-seek is fun.”
“No…water gun is way more fun than hide-and-seek.”
“Well, alright. We can played both hide-and-seek and water gun. Okay?” Dad said, patting our backs gently.
“Yay! Let’s go. Papa you count.” We said as we run and hide.
“1…2…3…5….6…..8…10…Ready or not here I come.”
Dad looked around finding both of us. He found Anders first but he couldn’t find me. Anders and Dad looked around for me. At last they found me, I was in the tree house nearby Ludwig Maximilian High. That high school is very nearby my house.
*END OF FLASHBACK*
We both continued spraying each other and some of Annabelle’s friends came into the kitchen and found us playing. They went out and shouted food fight. Everybody started throwing food at each other. Uh-oh…I’m so going to be in trouble when Connie finds out.
Daniel Andrew Gabel
As I walked into the kitchen to get a drink, I heard someone playing the piano and singing. I wonder who was singing, her voice is really sweet. I wanted to find out who was it but I couldn’t find the way to the music room. By the time, I found the place she was gone. Now, I’m reminded that I’m like Shane Gray finding the girl of that voice.
“Hello! Who is in here?” I shouted.
“Dan…what are you doing here?” Annabelle was coming out from the link room nearby.
“Were you inside here playing the piano and singing?”
“Yeah, I’m the only one who was in here. So…of course I’m the one.”
“Your voice was awesome. You should join the music club.”
“Are you sure? It is like my dream to be in the music club.”
“Totally. I seriously didn’t know that you have such a great voice.”
“Thanks.”
Annabelle smiled at me and my heart melts. It’s great that Annabelle could join in the music club and we could even sing duet together. Suddenly, there was a loud crashed of plates outside both Annabelle and I jumped.
“What was that?” I asked Annabelle.
“I’ve no idea. It seems that there are many plates dropping. Come on, let’s go out and check it out.” Annabelle pulled me by her hand.
I felt like my palms were sweating and I felt that I was blushing as red as a tomato. Annabelle is as gorgeous as usual whether or not she is dressed up beautifully or dressed up normally. She is still gorgeous. We went out of the music room we saw everyone was throwing food everywhere at each other it looks fun. I looked at Annabelle, I saw her frowning but isn’t it fun to play like that with friends. Annabelle walked towards the TV and grab the microphone.
“STOP THIS INSTANT.” She shouted so that everyone could hear.
Everyone stared at her and stop instantly.
“WHO STARTED IT?” she asked, glaring at each of them.
Everyone was silent and everyone looked at each other thinking that who started it. Suddenly, a sweet girl who was not dressed up for a party raised up her hand and walked towards Annabelle.
“It was me. I started it. I’m sorry don’t blame them.” The girl owned up.
“Aly, is not your fault? I’m the one who started it first.” The guy who was pulling the girl’s hand.
“Anders, you are always protecting her. You don’t have to do that. I know you won’t do such things except for her.” Annabelle said, glaring at Anders and then to the girl.
“ALYSON DANIELLE FROEBEL! You good for nothing girl. You and your bitch mother had stolen away my father what else do you want ruined my birthday. I don’t think so.”
Annabelle gave Alyson a big slap. Wait a minute is she the one which I need to meet. Everyone grasped and Alyson’s friends came after her.
“What was that for?” Matthew shouted at Annabelle, pulling Alyson and stood in front of her. “Are you okay, Aly?”
“I’m fine, don’t worry.” Alyson replied, smiling. “Well, I got to go to do my work. You guys have fun.”
“Oh no, you don’t.” Both Matthew and Anders pulling her arm.
“Slut.” Nicole and Vanessa called Annabelle.
“I’m okay, guys. You guys just have fun.” Alyson pushed their hands gently and walked off to the kitchen.
All of Alyson’s friends glared at Annabelle including Ryan. What’s up with Ryan? I don’t think that Annabelle was wrong to do that besides Alyson has been ruining Annabelle’s life. Did she? Or not? I’m confused.
“Thanks for making my day, sis.” Anders smirked at Annabelle and ran towards Alyson.
“Yeah…thanks for making our day too.” Alyson’s friends said in unison.
All of them went off from both of us. Annabelle started crying and I just don’t understand what had just happened.
Alyson Danielle Froebel
Well, I get another humiliation again like I always do. Annabelle had always been stepmother’s favourite daughter while me is just like a maid to her. Ever since my dad and mum passed away in a car accident, Connie and Annabelle always treat me like a servant. Alyson this Alyson that. Why my life has to be always like that? I wish I could get away from this but no matter how much I tried I couldn’t just leave my half-brother like this. I had promised him not to leave him so I need to stay by his side always. He’s the only person that I could share my problems to and the one who accepts who the way I am at home. I really trust him and love him very much although he might be annoying sometimes. He loves to video tape me singing or doing something crazy. His ambition is to become a great producer and director one day.
“Aly! I’ve told you a million times not to do what she asks you to do.” Anders scolded me while pulling my hand.
“You must know Anders I’m only the half-in your family. We just share the same father but not the same mother and because your mother hates my mother she also hates me. I can understand that. So in order to live here I need to follow the orders and obey them.” I explained, looking at him.
“ I just couldn’t stand the way she treated you. Why not you just stay in my house?” Matthew suggested, looking worried.
Vanessa hits his head and pulled his ear.
“Oww…oww…oww…oww... What’s that for?” Matthew rubbed his head and ear.
“We are going to Rome remember. How can she stay in our house? I say she should go to a private boarding school that has scholarship.” Vanessa smiled at me.
“I bet you can go for a private boarding school that consist in what you want to pursue on.” Nicole suggested.
“Hey, that’s a great idea Nicole. Aly! You are really good in singing, composing song and you had always loved directing a drama show.” Anders saying excitedly.
“Hey, guys. I know is not my business but I have a friend which is applying to one private boarding school. He loves composing too and I guess he can find his Gabriella there as he was looking for a girl to finish his duet. I will ask him then I will let you guys know.” Nicholas said.
“Great idea, Nick! Tell me the information and more.” Anders patted on Nicholas back.
Well…my brother Anders has his own thinking but it seems that he is very keen to go to the private boarding art school. I guess that’s the way to pursue on your dreams. I wish my dreams will come true but just that I’m too shy for it. Annabelle is ten million times daring than me but I can’t deny that I’m so in love with music and want to learn more deeper in singing. I seriously want to get out of this house which is like hell.
Daniel Andrew Gabel Annabelle was crying and crying. I just don’t understand why did they just stood up for that girl.
“Why is this always happening to me? Why is Alyson gets the attention? I’m supposed to be the one getting attention.” Annabelle sobs while hugging me. Okay, I felt my heart pumping heart on my chest. Oh-no I’m going to blush. Stop it Daniel! Don’t blush.
“Do you know that Alyson is such a pretender. She always pretend to be good which she is not. I don’t understand why my brother would like her so much she is not his real sister she is just his half sister.” Annabelle added.
“Don’t worry, I’ll be always right by your side. So, don’t cry.” I wiped her tears with my big hands.
“You promise?”
“Yes and I keep my promises.”
Yes. You are the man Daniel Andrew Gabel. Keep it up! Annabelle gave me hug and smiled at me. Oh-no heart melting, heart melting. Speaking of Alyson is that the girl I need to meet from the Drama club. Please don’t say it is because I don’t want to meet her anymore. I hate girls that love to pretend to be not herself which annoys me and also make the person whom I love most sad. I must tell Ryan that Alyson is not a great girl and also Ryan’s internet girlfriend that they better not follow her too much because I don’t want to lose my best friend just like that. I better warn them before it’s too late.
“So…when are you going to the London Performing Arts Boarding School?” Annabelle asked, smiling at me.
“Well, I’ve to wait for the letter to come to me because it is not easy to get in there.” I replied, looking into her bright blue eyes.
“Well, what about the music club are you going to abundant it?”
“Well, I guess I will come back to visit and help some if they need help.”
“You are a very busy person.”
“Yeah…you can call me freaky music guy.”
Annabelle laughed and laughed. She thinks it is funny. Good because I ‘m happy that she is alright already.
“I guess I better get in and I guess is time for you to go back now.”
“Okay! See in school tomorrow.”
Annabelle gave me a peek on my cheek. I can feel my face blushed red and my heart beating very fast. I felt like I’m flying up in the air like a bird. I’m totally in love with Annabelle but I just don’t have the guts to tell her that I like her.
