  "Aunty Lexi!" He shouts and rushes over to me. I pick him up and hold him close. A tear runs down my check. He looks at me. "Why are you sad Aunty Lexi?""Um .. I need to go and talk to the man inside the office. Will you stay outside and be a good boy?" He nods eagerly. I walk into the office."Ah, you must be Miss Loore." I nod, "so down to business. I know that you must be in shock, and that it's a lot to take in. I assume that you probably have no idea what to do, which why I am here to help." I nod. Shock preventing me from doing or thinking anything."Theo passes into your care. A social worker will be there to help you, and make sure that you are suitable to take care of him. Which brings us to the second thing. The will of your sister and brother in law. The house falls to Alexadro, your brother, who will inherit it because he is living in a rented apartment. However, Theo's furniture falls to you, which of

  My phone rings. It's an unknown caller. I pick it up."Hello. It's Lexi speaking." I say."Lexi Loore?" The voice asks."Yes.""I am very sorry for your loss ma'am. I don't know if you have heard, but your sister and brother in law were in an accident. They both died on impact." The phone drops out my hand.No. No. They can't be serious. They can't be serious. No. No."Miss Loore, are you still there?" The phone says on the floor. I feel a large lump form in my throat as I sink to the floor."Y- Yes." I squeak. Shock, disbelief and utter despair run across me. No. No. No. No. I curl into myself, leaving the phone on the floor."You are the godmother of Theo Marshall are you not?""I - I am." I manage to make out, even though my throat feels like it is const

  The next morning, I put on shorts, a tee shirt and Nike sneakers. I quickly made my self some breakfast and drove to the examination hall.I look at my watch. I'm just on time, and I quickly make my way to the hall, and find my seat. The professor hands out the exam papers. I roll my hand around, to prepare it for the scribbling that I'm about to do."Alright everyone, you have 4 hours. You may hand in your paper as soon as you are done. Good luck." The professor whom I had come to know very well says. I breathe in and start my paper.It goes well. I know most of my work, and the question are nicely put. Eventually, after three hours of writing straight, and ten minutes of checking, I'm done. I'm finished.I smile widely and hand in the paper to the examiner. I skip excitedly outside.I call up my parents to meet with them at a nice little coffee shop.

  "Why, thank you." I say taking a mock bow."I want you to sit in this meeting. I have a lot of critics in the room-my father's goons. He has told them to be harsh and question everything I say. I need them to realise that this is serious and that I mean business. Having my personal assistant in there will help them realise that. My father is testing me." He ordere and I nod, following him into the boardroom. There is a very long glass table in the center of the fancy looking room. Around it, sits men fully suited in their tuxedos, and their stereotypical businessmen frowns.To my dismay, I am the only woman in the room. I squirm uncomfortably as I feel their judgemental stares rake over my body. I feel like I can smell money in here. Money and power. I suddenly feel a wave of sympathy for Diether wash over me."Good morning Gentlemen." I swear Diether's voice went a few tones deeper. It almost scared m

  "We are not going shopping!" I say, "Don't try to convince me otherwise!"Three hours later, I have a thousand bags, and honestly, I feel really bad, because Lisa paid for everything, because supposedly I'm dirt poor. Which is pretty accurate. Being a student is hard.She even bought me two pairs of heels. I tried to tell her that I'm not going to wear them, ever, but hey, she didn't force me into too much else. Being a tomboy and having a best friend like Lisa is the worst possible combination ever."I think I need a change." I whisper."What do you mean?" Lisa asks, holding up the bags of clothes."I think I need a bigger change. I just don't know what." I sigh. I don't need a change. Something other than just clothes."Why don't you cut your hair?" Lisa suggests, and then turns to me "You would look really great with your hair at your shoulders

  Lisa turns to me."Go and shower. I'm going to do the same." Lisa grabs her backpack and heads to the guest bedroom. I stomp up the stairs and let the cold water run over my body. I soak my hair and get out the shower. I throw on a sunflower sun dress, and leave off shoes, then I tie my hair into a French plait.Finally, Lisa comes into my room. She puts her hand on her hips."Right. Here's a bag, we are putting everything and anything that reminds you of Kevin in here. We won't throw it away, but we will kept it out of sight. That's the best way to get them out of your head." She hands me a bag and starts throwing all the gifts I got from Kevin over the two years. She takes the photos of the wall. Then she walks over to my jewelry box."No!" I shout. Lisa stops in her track."Why? Come on Lexi." I shake my head. I walk over and hold up my necklace. It's in
