Piqued. Angrier. That's what Justin feels right now. He did not understand why Max Wilson, his friend, defended Anna. Whereas as a person close to him, Max knew exactly about his dislike of the fake girl. You fake girl! A liar! Sly! Did Anna plan something bad while she was trying to help by giving her a job? And Max? Did the fake girl brainwash him until he was willing to defend her desperately? He even completely changed his appearance and became popular now. This must be the fake girl. He must have persuaded Max to change and fight him. He must have wanted to make her lose her close people, her popularity. Aarrgh!!!. Angrily Justin hit the wall of his room where there was a shadow of Anna who was smiling mocking him.
" Don't dream of being able to do that, fake girl !! " he said angrily.

Anna seemed serious about working on the problems Max had given her. Besides, there was Max who noticed him, while occasionally would nag if the girl made a mistake.
" Max, what are your plans after school? " ask Anna suddenly.
" Why ask that? graduating from school is long "
" Just want to know, because as far as I know you like music a lot. But you're also very clever "
" What do you mean? is it a pity that my smart brain will only be wasted by playing music? "
Anna nodded. Max shuffled his hair with a frenzy. Anna tries to avoid.
" You are this. Don't you know, out there is a doctor who also works as a singer, there is also an artist who turns out to be a lecturer at a large university. You should also follow the infotainment news, don't just drown yourself in your textbooks, you nerdy "mock Max.
" Aren't you the one who said I'm not smart, so you have to learn a lot "Anna grumbled while tidying her hair.
" all right. Alright. Basic don't want to lose "
Chequek. The inpatient door is open. Anna and Max spontaneously looked towards the door. Anna couldn't believe who was coming. Marrissa was surprised. It seemed that he also did not expect to meet his sister in this place.
" his... Marissa.. "
There is a created awkwardness. Max throbs.
" I forgot I had an appointment to meet someone tonight. I better go home "he said as he tidied up his things. Anna just nodded. It takes time to talk to her sister alone. And Max seems to understand that.

" Mom is still unconscious" Anna said as she watched Marrissa continue to look at her mother.
" I can see it" said Marrissa flatly.
" Mommy would be so happy to know you were here to visit her. Mom's been missing you all this time. He often mentions... "
" Who was that man? " ask Marrissa, trying to divert Anna's conversation.
Anna frowned dislike.
" My friend "the answer is short.
" It looks pretty good and seems familiar too. What's-her-name? "
Anna grunts. Why did Marrisa ask Max instead of her mother.
" Max.. Max Wilson "
" You mean that Wilson family? Carrie Wilson's? " Marrissa mentioned the name of an artist, Max's mother.
Anna nodded. Max's mother is an artist.
" I think my judgment of you was wrong, Anna. Turns out you're good at picking men "Marrissa wears her smile.
" What do you mean?"
" Didn't the Wilson family have a large farm and ranch in the city? "
" I.I don't know that. He knew people were ", Anna said. He does not know about the Max family business. For all she knows, Max's mother is an artist. After all, why would he care about such a thing?
" Don't pretend to be stupid, sister. You're really great. Max Wilson, the only heir to the Wilson family, turned out to be interested in my sister.. " Marrissa laughs.
" Are you dating her?" search Marrissa.
" me? of course not. We're just friends. He's Justin's best friend anyway?"
" Justin? "
" Yes, though,.. Justin... Wilderman " said Anna rather stammeringly.
" Justin...Son....my step? "
Anna nodded again. Marrissa laughed again.
" Good God, what else is this? you're dating my stepdaughter? so what should I call you later ? " sinned.
Anna is confused,
" Eh, it's not like that, I mean... "
" That's it. Get rid of your thoughts about my stepson. I won't let you guys be together. Want to put where my face will be ? Gee whiz... "
Anna's down. What Marissa said was true. He can't be with Justin, in any case, he doesn't deserve to be with him. Especially coupled with the fact that his brother is now Justin's stepmother.
" It would be better if you could be Mrs Wilson ..."
" I told you we were just friends. I don't have any feelings for her "
" But he has it. Believe this. No need to rush. You just need to open your heart to her. Just little. And he will fall in your arms "persuade Marrissa.
" I'm not interested. I told you, we're just friends "
Marrissa laughing. Anna grumbled in annoyance. Outside, Max who was standing behind the door heard everything clearly. And somehow there was pain in her chest when Anna said that they were just friends and had no feelings for her.
**** POV Max
Marrie-Ann Rose's. An innocent girl with her beautiful smile. I didn't understand it at all when my best friend, Justin Wilderman, the popular guy at school, dropped his choice on the girl. It looks ordinary. Not pretty. His only advantage was his family being in disarray. That's what made him famous in school and in the all-out bully. But he was so strong to face everything. He even continued to go to school as usual even though every day there were people who worked on him. Over time I was amazed by his strength. Maybe because our circumstances are arguably almost the same. My family is also a mess. Both my parents divorced. I don't even know where my mother is now. As an artist, he moved around a lot. My father was always busy with his work. Loneliness and lack of attention make me fall into the wrong relationships. But everything changed when I saw Anna's determination in dealing with her every problem. Soon I began to sympathize with him. I started to be friends with him. And we became close. It makes me happy when I am around him. I always wanted to protect her. It also makes me feel needed. Even though I know his heart belongs only to Justin. But I don't know why this chest feels so painful when I hear him say that he doesn't have any feelings for me.
