Prospective Step Mother

ELLA'S POV

After that incident, my activities were never separated from Christian supervision. Argh ... I can't do everything freely. Today, dad is having dinner with my future stepmother, Emma Filezia. A widow whose husband died. Her husband is a former Army Lieutenant Colonel.

Usually, I never want to see her, because I do not like the image of 'stepmother'. But because it's an important dinner to discuss my father's and her marriage. Then inevitably for the first time, I will talk to her. Oh yeah, this is also my first time meeting her daughter.

I entered the family dining room with a knee-length white dress. I saw dad sitting in the chair at the end of the long dining table. I also took the place to the left of my father.

A few minutes later the dining-room door opened, my future stepmother entered this room with a girl who was about my age.

My eyes widened.

'Zara Hamish !!! ', I thought.

Father invited them to sit.

"Hi, Elle! How are you?" said Emma.

"Good auntie," I replied with a forced smile.

"Oh yes, introduce this, auntie."

"Zara, Zara Hamish," she said, bowing politely.

"Elle, Quella Azura Hoult."

"You don't feel like you're strangers to one another," my father told us both.

'Of course, I feel familiar, she is my enemy at summer camp. How can you not remember, Dad !! Argghh ..... ', I thought.

Ughhh... Finally, the "family" event is over. I'm fed up with Zara's pretentious attitude in front of my father. I can't imagine that in 7 days he will officially become my "stepsister".

--------The next day----------

"Good Morning miss! Your car is ready to go," Chris said.

"Okay, you just wait for me. I'll be finished soon."

Arriving on campus I immediately looked for Flora in class.

"Floooo, you know what," I said with a frown.

"What?"

"Well, you know Zara."

"Zara ?? Zara Hamish ??? The summer camp kid who is your enemy?"

"Yeah, in 7 days he will officially become 'MY STEPSISTER !!!', it's annoying isn't it," I say with a serious look.

"Hah, OMG !!! Bad things will come to you soon, Elle."

(Doorbell rings)

"Elle !!! Look who's here," Flora said with wide eyes.

'Shit !! What is he doing here, 'I thought.
