When her foster parents agreed to let her and Anna return back to school, Mara brought over some designer school bags and shoes for school. Mara also filled up her accessory drawers with jewelries and accessories she might need. She did not know how Mara knew she loved rose scent but Mara brought over a very nice rose perfume. Mara was just like a mind reader she knew when Rose what out of any supply and always made them available without Rose even asking.
Rose chose a black adidas sneakers with white soul and wore it after wearing a black pair of socks. She chose a black leather bag with silver design. She returned to the living area of her room and put a book into her bag as well as her writing material.
"Rose," Anna's voice called her and Anna walked into her room fully dressed just like her but a little extra. She had painted her nails a day before and the black color she chose shone so brightly very contrast to her white skin. One of her finger on each hand wore shining platinum rings and her wrist had three layers of bracelets and the other hand had a wrist watch.
"Will dad let you go out in this manner?" Rose had to ask when she got over the shock she had when she saw how extra Anna was in her dressing. Anna shook her head.. "Isn't all these too extra?"
Anna did not answer her this time but went into her walk-in closet and came out with a wrist watch, a ring, and a pair of earrings. She pulled rose and sat her down on one of the sofas and helped her wear them. Rose did not object since the jewelries were simple. The earrings were a stud gold earring and the ring was almost unnoticeable along with the wrist watch, it was small and simple but beautiful and elegant.
Anna removed the band she used to hold her hair back and combed her fingers through them gently. She used a brooch to hold back her hair from one side of her face leaving the hair to fall partially on the other side of her face.
"Shouldn't you reduce these?" Rose still had to ask unable to see her sister meet their parent dressed in this manner. "And stuck your shirt in. Why don't you button the first button?"
Anna continued to ignore her. She pulled out a purse from the black and grey back she wore and removed a lip stick.
"Who bought lip sticks for you?" Rose continued asking her questions.
"I ordered for them online," Anna answered tired of Rose's questions and attempted putting the pink lip stick on Rose's lips.
"No, I will not put that on my lips," Rose immediately stopped her.
"Put a lip gloss on then," Anna gave in and removed a pink lip gloss to match Rose's natural pink lips and gave it Rose.
When Rose did not put it on, she took it from her and helped her rub it. "Wow, a lot people will go crazy when they see you but don't worry my friends and I will protect you," Anna told her and pulled her up from the sofa. "We are late. Let's eat breakfast," Anna said as she helped Rose pick up her bag and pulled her wrist out of the room.
Rose followed her into the elevator and they both had a quick simple breakfast of pancakes and tea. Mrs. Whitfred dropped them off herself and she happened to be a friend of the chairperson of the school. The school was definitely more than five times bigger than her school back in Y country. It was a beautiful sight to behold.
The owner of the school had the principal take care of everything for them and so they were taken to the building where their class was. The building had three floors. Students were all in their classes. Two teachers came to take them to their classes and Anna refused to go.
"I don't want to be in a different class," Anna refused with a very serious look on her face. Anyone could easily see that she meant no joke with the stance she made.
"You cannot be in the same class," Mrs. Whitfred tried to explain but Anna only looked away while holding Rose hand tightly.
"We can. We used to study together in the library," Anna argued back.
"With different teachers," Rose reminded her as she tried pulling her hand from Anna's grip.
"We can also do it here right?" Anna asked and further tightened her grip on Rose hand as her eyes got obviously misty with tears threatening to fall out of her eyes.
"No. You cannot do that here. You insisted that you wanted to return to school. If you want to change your mind, we can go back home," Mrs. Whitfred suggested hoping that Anna will accept her suggestion.
Rose's heart dropped at that suggestion and she forcefully pulled her hand from Anna's grip. "I will be late for my class if you keep refusing to go to yours," Rose told her with a stern voice but a smile remained on her face.
Anna knew Rose was warning her not to make them go back home and the tears fell off rolling down her cheeks. "I am sorry," she apologized sincerely but her tears had a hidden agenda and it worked well.
Rose could not bear watching Anna mess up her make up. She pulled out a white hand kerchief and pushed it into Anna's hand. "Come and meet me during lunch break and we will have lunch together. That way we will meet each other okay?" Rose tried to coax her cunning sister hoping Anna will be kind enough to let her go to her class.
Anna nodded rejoicing, lunch together was not bad at all. She knew Rose seriously wanted to go back to school but she was against it. She knew something bad happened to her when she was outside and she was scared of going out despite wearing a tough personality outwardly.
The person that hurt her was still alive and she did not want to give the person an opportunity to get her again. However, Rose was going to school and for the past two years, she had grown too attached to Rose that she did not want to stay home schooled all alone in the large library.
Her tears was meant to either persuade Rose to go back to being home schooled or make her mother pissed off and make them return home together. She did not expect Rose to make a deal with her to make her stop crying and since she was very simpleminded when it came to things concerning her and Rose, she gladly accepted the deal.
Anna hugged her mother tightly without forgetting to give her a loud smacking kiss on her cheeks and followed her homeroom teacher. Rose smiled at her leaving figure and turned to Mrs. Whitfred. "How are we going to get back home?" Rose asked.
"I will pick you two up when school is over for today," Mrs. Whitfred answered with a smile.
"Thank you for everything," Rose appreciated with a slight bow of her head and turned to leave with her homeroom teacher.
Mrs. Whitfred's smile broadened and she pulled Rose into her embrace. "I wish you two a good day at school. Please take care of Anna," Mrs Whitfred answered after pulling away from the short warm hug.
"Yes, I will." Rose followed the homeroom teacher and they entered the elevator together. Her dream was to be a fashion designer and two years ago, she made sure her direction was towards art. This school was also known all over the world for their fashion designing club. Anna wanted to become an engineer she said she wanted to make her own motorcycles and cars and Anna was also pursuing her dream and she was a science student.
If all she thought about was how to sustain herself and get a good job like she wanted to do in her past life, she would have remained in science class but she made her decision to follow her dream since life was pretty easier now financially.

The assignment given to him by his brother was hacking.
This boy loved hacking and his brother gave him a tough assignment two years ago when he was only fifteen years old and it was for him to hack into the security system of the palace.
