It made her remember what Liam said about Anna to her and she clenched her fist angrily although she maintained a calm sympathizing look as she continued to give her sister a soothing hug.
"I really wanted to go to the Royal University. It was my dream to go there ever since I was in elementary school," Anna continued sobbed.
"It is okay. The selection is not over yet," Rose reminded her. She pulled away from Anna and stared at her tear-stained face. She has not seen Anna cry so much before. She actually felt hurt seeing her that way.
The pain she felt switched to guilt when she imagined that Liam might have intervened because he disliked her sister. It was not surprising that she will actually suspect that since he clearly said he disliked the fact that Anna was always around her.
He might have made her not get accepted so he could separate them. "How about we tell mum or dad. They will be willing to find a way to help you."
"You got selected because of your talent not their intervention. I want my case to be that way too. I wanted to do it on my own. They said I am a genius then why didn't I get accepted?" Anna complained as she sat down on a sofa in the room.
"There must have been a mistake. You are a genius and you did well in the examination. I am sure you will get accepted before the selection is over," Rose tried to persuade Anna.
If anyone should get into the school, she thinks Anna should get in. She might not be as popular as she was for her talent but her foster sister was an obvious genius.
What she said only made Anna feel more hurt than she did when she read the mail she received from the school. She was already confident that she will get into the university and there was nothing that could stop her but faced with the painful reality, she did not know how things turned out to be this way.
"I wanted us to be together. I wanted us to live in the apartment together with Debby and Wayne," Anna continued complaining. The more she thought about it the more she got hurt. She remembered the apartment and began crying again.
"Hey, we can all still stay together because you will get accepted," Rose continued playing her role well as the consoler.
"I thought our friendship was going to last longer but it seems nothing ever lasts forever. Debby first had a figst with you. She also fought with me too and now this," Anna murmured. "Nothing is working the way we planned and it shouldn't be that way. I really want us to remain close friends."
Rose thought about what Anna said as she sat on another sofa in the living area of her room. She assessed it all when everything became slightly clear. Someone was messing with Anna's life.
The person that killed Coleman did it knowing it will make Anna lose her friends and foster sister. The person also took Jace away from Anna. The person tried to kill her too although that might have been for a while new reason she was yet to understand but the person did it anyway.
Perhaps the person also prevented her acceptance to the Royal University. It may not be Liam who did it.
"Anna, I guess this might not be the right time for me to say this but what if the teacher did it all?" Rose asked thoughtfully. "What if the teacher killed Claire? What if the teacher stabbed Jace? What if he almost killed me and killed the Coleman? What if he also made you not get accepted? What if these was all his hand work?"
Anna paused in shock and stared at Rose with her eyes wide opened. She did not believe any of that. She have never even thought of it. Why will the teacher she dated do that to her?
She shook her head as she mopped her tears hurriedly as though the blurry effect they had on her eyes prevent her from hearing clearly that she heard something different from what her sister had to say.
"I know you hate him but you should not say that," Anna warned when she was done cleaning her face of the stain her tears left on it and looked at her sister.
"What will make me hate him?" Rose asked in disbelief. She did not believe her sister will think that she was willing to dip the man she loved in dirt when she was clearly going through a difficult time without a tangible reason.
"You are not helping at all!" Anna shouted glaring at Rose. She stood up and gave her sister a once over before walking out of the room hastily like it was going to kill her to spend a few more seconds in the same room with her sister.
Rose exhaled tiredly when her sister closed the door hard behind. She just felt different crazy emotions in a less than an hour. This was too much on her and what she needed most at this point was rest. She dragged her feet to her bed and fatigue took over leading her to a dreamland just before her head even touched the soft silk fabric of her pillowcase.

"Mara, have you seen Anna?" Rose had to ask. She just stepped out of her adopted sister's room where she went to look for her sister. She have not seen Anna since she left her room more than twenty-four hours ago. Anna was not even in school.
"No, I thought she went to a friend's house. The guards said they saw her leave in one of your mum's cars," Mara replied truthfully.
"She did not go to school today," Rose told her unhappily. "She was angry when she left yesterday and no one has heard anything from her since yesterday."
"I also tried to call her this morning but she has been out of reach," Mara narrated.
"I think we should tell mum. I don't think she is okay," Rose said worriedly.
