THE UNEXPECTEDβ
“I hate you Leonardo Briggs!!!!” Mariana yelled and stormed into the kitchen angrily
She opened the fridge and took a drink,she uncapped the bottle angrily and started drinking,she gulped down everything at once and wiped her lips,breathing heavily with an angry glare on her face
She started squeezing the bottle imagining it as Leonard’s neck
“I feel like strangling him” She mumbled
She picked up the biscuit and another drink from the fridge before walking to the living room,blue and Loki followed her.
She sat down on the couch and turned on the TV
Leonard’s face came on the screen,it was today’s interview
“Why him!!!” She screamed and changed it immediately but it was Leonard again,Showing his recent concert
Mariana hissed and dropped the remote control
“I see why he’s so arrogant,ugly popular celebrity.” She scoffed and turned to Blue and Loki.
“Your reward,you did a great job” She smiled and gave them the biscuit
They meowed happily as if to tell her they will always have her back,she chuckled and opened the drink in her hand.
She rest comfortably on the couch and found herself watching the show,she could remember clearly that night.
“He act nice when he’s with his fans,but he’s a total jerk. Monkey” she said
Her phone rang out and she picked the phone,it’s Royce calling her
She hissed and immediately blocked his number
“Every guy is a jerk,aside Nico. Everyone of them” She muttered
Soon,she became drowsy and finally fell asleep on the couch.
Minutes later,Leonard came in and immediately,Blue and Loki rushed to him.
“You guys shouldn’t be here anymore” Leonard muttered as he picked them up
He saw Mariana on the couch,he scoffed and ignored it,turning toward the stairs
“Meow….” Blue pulled his shirt and Loki made a sound too.
Leonard stopped
“What,are you hungry?” He muttered but they kept making sounds
He returned to the living room and Blue came down from his arm,he walked to the couch where Mariana is sleeping
“Wait,seriously?? It’s not my fault that she sleeps anywhere” Leonard scoffed.
Loki also jumped down from his arms
Leonard groaned when they didn’t stop
He walked toward Mariana on the couch and stood there,staring at Mariana while she sleep
“Can’t believe I’m doing this” he muttered and switched off the TV before turning back to her
Slowly he lean closer and carried her in a bridal style
“Does she even eat at all?” He scoffed and left the living room. He took her upstairs and entered her room,he dropped her on the bed gently and covered her up.
He stood up and looked around
“She arranged it well” he nodded and his eyes suddenly widened when he saw his name written on a board on the wall,UGLY JERK and ANNOYING CELEBRITY was written under his name
“What??? Ugly Jerk?? Annoying Celebrity??” He fumed and turned back to Mariana as If to carry her back downstairs
He scoffed and left the room
Blue remained in Mariana’s room while Loki followed him.

NEXT MORNING**
“Morning world” Mariana yawned as she opened her eyes and stretched her arms
Blue was staring at her from the floor
She looked around and immediately remembered how she slept off in the living room last night.
“How did I get here?” She asked herself and suddenly shook her head
“It’s not what I’m thinking right? That Ugly jerk will never bring me here,do I possess super power? Yeah that’s right,I’ve got super powers. Leonardo will never touch me or bring me here. Let’s just say I have super powers” She said and checked the time
“F**k!!! I’m late!”she shouted and jumped out of bed
She took off her clothes in a hurry and rushed into the bathroom,after taking her bath,she rushed to the closet,she quickly brought out a trouser and a blouse. She put the clothes on and grabbed her sneakers and her phone before rushing out,she came in again and carried her bag and then went out again.
She went downstairs and met Leonard in the living room,he was standing with his phone in his hand. He looked up and their eyes met,she would have asked if he carried her to her room last night but she really want to start avoiding him like he wanted.
The door suddenly opened and Mariana turned
Dior and Ricardo came in with Winter
“Wow!! Mariana!!” Dior screamed excitedly and immediately hugged her,surprising Mariana.
“Hey Hottie” Ricardo winked at her
Winter roll her eyes and went to sit down
“Wow,you’re so beautiful” Dior said
“Thank you” Mariana smiled and Leonard scoffed
Mariana glared at him
“I need to go” She said softly
“Of course sure,bye” Dior waved at her and she went out
“Wow,Leo. You’re so lucky,she’s crazily hot” Ricardo grinned and hit Leonard’s shoulder
“Lucky indeed” Leonard scoffed
“Oh come on,admit it. She’s beautiful” Dior said
“Stop talking like she’s some goddess or something,she’s not even that pretty please” Winter hissed
Ricardo and Dior looked at her
Leonard said nothing
“Why are you guys here?” He asked
“You said you’re not coming to that school,so we are here to drag you” Ricardo said
“I want to rest,is that too much to ask?” Leonard groaned
“Of course you will rest tomorrow,it’s the party tomorrow and your fiancee is performing. Heard she’s a great dancer” Dior said
“Who said I’m attending the party?” Leonard roll his eyes
“Come on,I can’t go without you” Ricardo pouted
“Stop doing that,you look ugly” Leonard said and Ricardo frowned
“Seriously? Do you have to be so cold?” He asked
“I will get dressed,wait here” Leonard muttered and left the living room.
Dior faced Winter
“Why would you say Mariana isn’t pretty? We all know she is….”
“Not We,,,You think she’s pretty but I don’t think she is. It’s my opinion so don’t make a big deal out of it” Winter snapped
“Oh” Dior muttered and bit her lips before sitting down

“Yeah,that crazy cousin of mine back” She said
“Wow,I’ve missed her. Can’t wait to see her” Dior gushed happily

“Are you okay?” He asked worriedly
“I’m fine,please I want to be alone” Mariana muttered
“Really? Are you sure?” Nico asked
“Yes Nico,I will talk to you later” Mariana replied
Nico kissed her hair before walking away.
The tears Mariana have been keeping started rolling down her eyes
“He must have been fooling me for a long time,I’m so dumb” She muttered in tears
She wiped her tears gently and made to leave
She was shocked to see Leonard standing in front of her,their eyes met and he stared at her red teary eyes.
Mariana stood still without moving,hoping he will just pass her without minding her
“Leo” Winter called from behind and stopped beside Leonard.
She glared at Mariana hatefully before facing Leonard
“We need to talk Leo,it’s important” She said but Leonard’s eyes were on Mariana
“Leo…….”
“Maybe later,I need to talk to my Fiancee first” Leonard said and Mariana’s heart skipped a beat
What did he just said??
Winter frowned immediately
Leonard walked closer to Mariana and grabbed her hand,shocking her even more
“Don’t say a word and just follow me” He muttered,dragging her away like a child.
