CHELSEA'S POV:
She folds her arms and nodded. I stand up because I don't want my mother to feel bad that I am not listening to her. I went upstairs and knock at his door, "Vincent dinner is ready. We are waiting for you." No reply came from his room. I knock again and still no reply. Maybe he is sleeping. I open the door knob and went inside and saw him sitting on the computer chair shirtless and smoking. His room was filled with the smoke. I don't how many cigarettes' he had but I know he will die by the night with this smell.
I wave my hand in the air to clear my view and said, "Smoking is forbidden in this house and you can't do this like this. You are too young to smoke." He turned to me and said with a flat face, 'Did anyone asked for your advice and why the hell is you in my room." I fold my arms and replied, "The dinner is ready." He turned his head back to the computer blank screen and replied, "Get lost I am not hungry." I nodded and replied, "Ok, Now Dad will come to call you." I was about to go back when he shouts from behind, "Fine I am coming." I smile to myself in victory and came out of his room and went downstairs. I came down and sat next to my mother and Vincent also came downstairs in two minutes and sat in front of me with no expression on his face.
My mother gave the bowl of food to Dave and he starts pouring himself and mother came next and then it was my turn and I handed the bowl to Vincent and he also pour himself some food. We start eating and we start talking and laughing, the three of us. Vincent was keep looking down and eating his food with no expression at his face but I can sense he is hurt. I was staring at him when he suddenly looks up at me and I keep staring at his face and he raised an eyebrow and gave me a smirk. At his smirk something happened in my chest that I never felt before. I also smile back and he looks down at his food again and I bite my lower lip and start eating again. His smile is one of the most gorgeous smile I have ever seen. He should smile more often.
After dinner he stands and went to the sink and washed his dish and went upstairs thanking my mother. Dave went to watch some TV and I was washing dishes with my mother when my mother put her hand at my back and said, "Chelsea I know this is too much to ask but I want you to give some company to Vincent. He is new here and someone should get closer to him so he can feel himself as a part of the family." I understand her words and agreed. I went upstairs and stopped outside of his room. I don't know what came in my mind and I knocked at his door.
"Come in."
He replied from inside and I went inside and saw him sitting on his bed and using his phone. I asked looking around in his room, "Do you need anything?"
"Privacy"
He replied absurdly and I turn my head at him and replied, "I am trying to be nice here." He shrugs his shoulders and replied, "No one told you to." I nodded and replied, "My mother wanted me to give you company so you won't feel alone but looks like you this is who you are and what you like." I went in my room and sat at my bed. I was hurt by his answer. I don't know why he was like this and why I was feeling hurt by his words? Maybe no one talked to me like this before. I went in my window and look outside and looked at the person outside in the shadow. It was him. It was him again. He started walking backwards and I called out to him loudly, "NO, WAIT."
I moved away from the window and ran downstairs. I ran to outside and I heard Dave calling my name, "CHELSEA."
I ran behind the shadow and I kept running until he disappeared. I fall on the ground and my knee and hand palm got hurt. Someone held me by my shoulders and I look up and it was Dave. He picked me up in his arms and took me back inside. When I came back in home with Dave my mother came running to me and hugs me, 'What happened Chelsea dear?" I started crying in her embrace. I want to tell her that but I can't, I can't hurt her feelings. I went back in my room. I look down at myself and my pants tore from the knee. I take my pants off and wiped my knee with the sanitizer and then I applied some cream on my knee and on my palm. I close my eyes and fall in sleep.

VINCENT'S POV:
Once she left my room I sat up and start writing my dairy.
"Like I think before she is naïve and she doesn't know what intentions I have for her. She will be an easy catch and I will make her fall in love with me. I will use her again and again and then I will leave her like a trash cane. She calls Dave her dad, He has a perfect family and I will going put poison in their lives. So my first step is to make her fall for me and make her feel like I don't give a damn and she will run after me."
I was writing my dairy when I heard her screaming.
"NO, DON'T GO."
What is she up to? I put my dairy in the bag and went outside to see what was going on and saw her run outside of main door like a mad girl and Dave chase after her. So sad, He never gave a damn about my mother and here he is running after her like a maniac. I wanted to know what happened but after looking at Dave's concern for her I didn't give a damn and came in my room and shut the door loudly.
I sat at my bed and start writing my dairy again. It took me two hours to sleep.
Next morning when I wake up I went in the washroom to take a bath. I heard a knock at my door after five minutes and I know who that could be. I just finish my shower fast and wear a white towel around my waist and came outside. Chelsea was standing in front of my dressing table and looking in my perfumes. She looks up to apply one on her when she saw me in the mirror the perfume fall from her hand and her face turned red. She closed her eyes and said stuttering, "I… I am …so..so..sorry… I didn't know you were naked." I sat at my bed and start wearing my pants and asked, "Why are you behaving like you have never seen a guy naked?"
She head to the door and before she go outside she replied, "I have never seen a guy naked before. I am sorry." She ran outside. Is she for real? She has never seen a guy naked before? Well looks like I don't have to try so hard to make her fall in love with me.

CHELSEA'S POV
I was feeling very awkward. I haven't seen anyone naked before and I saw my step brother naked today. I was blushing so hard, no matter how many times I washed my face and drank cold water my face is still red. I sat at my bed and took deep breaths and then I went downstairs. I sat at the dining table after greeting Dave and mother.
I pick a toast and butter and I was applying the butter on the toast when Vincent came downstairs. "Good morning everyone. " He sat in front of me. My face turned red again.
I was having breakfast when Dave said," baby, you should take Vincent with you to the college with you. In that way, you both will get along. I looked at Vincent, who looked at me and gave an awkward tooth smile. My bus came, and I took my bag, I called out to Vincent and went to the bus. I sat with my best friend lily in the bus and Vincent sat on the last seat on the bus. Lily asked me excitedly
" who's that macho boy? " I said looking out "my stepbrother" that's when she started saying all the way to college "set me up with him, he is so handsome ". When we reached the college, I went to my class. Vincent and I had 3 same classes and 3 different. So, when we met in the same class, he sat on the last bench. Lily came to class after applying some make up and instead of sitting with me, he went to Vincent and sat beside him.
