The Lies: Landon Academy book 1 by Natalia Wiszniewska (red novels .txt) 📕

thought about it but decided to leave it be because we weren’t together. I don’t know if I want to have anything to do with him. After he came here from London, he acted differently. He didn’t pay me that much attention. He didn’t care what I’m doing. Before, he would explode, like literally explode, after the info that I have been fighting, but now? He got mad and didn’t push at all after Zac’s announcement. He didn’t even care that I kissed him. What the actual fuck? Maybe he realised that he feels nothing to me and that I’m only his sister? I don’t know, but longer he acts like that, quicker I’m realising that my feelings weren’t that strong. Maybe I just grow up or maybe I have interest in Liam, and I didn’t like anyone before. So, you like Liam? Fuck, scratch that. Liam is hot and I like to look at him, nothing more.

It’s Friday evening and a Halloween night. I haven’t seen my dad for a whole week. His damn secretary, I didn’t know that he has one, informed us on Monday that he left for business and will be back soon. What the ‘soon’ means? I didn’t care much but it’s strange that we weren’t on any job since we came here. I don’t count my little businesses done during the summer, but when the school year started, he disappears from my life. Strange.

I decide to wear something sexy but appropriate because I don’t want to look like slut. It’s Halloween after all, everyone should change and be a wizard or a fairy tale, right? I didn’t even ask if I should be in a costume, but I tried to avoid Liam as well. I don’t have any specific reason to do that, but I just did. The more I get closer to him; my feeling increase and I’m not sure if I should feel anything at all. It’s too confusing.

I put some dark make-up and curl my hair. I add some glitter and finish it with some dark red lipstick. The make-up is a sexy look that I wanted to achieve, when my clothes are neutral. I put a large black hoodie on, but this is not my look. I have a little surprise for later. I call Zac to come and pick me up. Tyler and Tobi are going with me because I need them there, to finish my plan. They were sceptical to go but I insisted, and they agreed.

Zac comes soon after I finished dressing. He looks me over and scowls.

“What the hell are you wearing?” He asks. Tyler and Tobias wear black hoodies as well. They don’t celebrate Halloween because as they said, this is for kids or stupid rich pricks. Whatever.

“What? Don’t you like me in anything?” I answer with a wink. Zac’s scowl deepens and I laugh.

“Can we just go already?” Tobias asks and steps inside the car. We all pack inside and drive to the party. The way is not long. When we arrive, the party is already in full swing. What the hell is wrong with these people? What time do they come here?

We leave the car and step inside the house. Tobias goes to the table with snacks. They have fricking snacks on the party. The only snacks we had in London were crisps, and they have like mini buffet here with all this oriental food. I look around to find Tyler, but he is nowhere to be seen, brilliant. The only one left is Zac. People high five him as he is someone popular. Who am I going to fool, he is like a VIP member of this party, and a whole school. His arm wraps around my shoulder as he leads me to the table with drinks.

“What you want to drink?” He shouts because music is so loud that I would never hear him if he wouldn’t.

“You still owe me my tea with milk,” I shout back and he laughs.

“I will make a special tea for you then.” He takes a bottle with brown liquid and add pours it to the red cup. Then he adds some ide and handles ready drink to me. I take it with a smile and gulp it down quickly. Zac stares at me with shock.

“More please. I love your tea.” I give him the cup again.

“You would need to slow down if you want to last to the end of the party. I’m not gonna hold your hair. We’re not that close.” He smirks but starts to make the next round. This time, I take it and take one sip. He’s right, I need to slow down because I still have a plan to do.

I look around and spot Liam in the corner. His tall posture is leaning on the wall. He’s glaring at us with a blank expression. Our eyes meet and he strides to us. He is so handsome that my breath catches. He’s dressed up like a vampire or rather the devil, and damn… he suits this role perfectly. His black jeans wrap his legs perfectly and the black T-shirt has a sticker with two horns. His hair is pushed back, and he has black contact lenses on. He looks hot.

He slowly makes his way to us and stops next to me. He shoves off Zac’s arm of me.

“I said, wear something nice. Not this…” He gestures his hand at my clothes. Dick. I smirk at him and take Zac’s hand to lead him on the dance floor. Let’s party.

We start slowly, but then the song changes and we become to move faster and closer. The drink is already in my head because I feel dizzy. I didn’t know that I have weak head but damn this. I’m at the party. I spot Liam studying us and I decide to give him a little show.

I start to dance seductively around Zac, and he loves it. His grin widens as he puts his hands
