The Unwanted Bride Of Atticus Fawn

The Unwanted Bride Of Atticus Fawn Chapter 12

~AUTUMN~

“Are you going to stay in the car the entire time?” Griffin asks in a teasing manner.

We were at the beach, but I was contemplating getting out of the vehicle with the number of people I saw. I didn’t think this was going to be a big party. Now I knew I was wrong.

I shook my head and got out even though I truly wanted to stay behind.

“I’ll make sure you aren’t uncomfortable.” He promised me as he guided me over to a group of girls. I already recognized them. They were popular girls. Of course, Griffin would be friends with the most famous people in our school, just like his siblings.

“Good to see you.” He greets them. “I’m sure you all know my future sister-in-law, Autumn. And these girls need no introduction either.”

No, they didn’t. The one smiling at me was Scarlett Mae, and next to her was her sister Clara.

Clara used to be the more popular one among the two sisters; in fact, Scarlett never really attended events like this, from what I knew about her. She reminded me a lot of myself. But all that changed when Carter Prince broke up with her sister Clara. They were the couple that everyone looked up to, but everyone always knew that Carter was never faithful to Clara. I’m not sure how that changed Scarlett, but she soon started attending parties and school games; she was becoming more popular than her sister, especially since Carter seemed to have his eyes on her. That was gross; how could he be interested in Scarlett when he dated her sister? But that was not my business. I’ve learned to keep away from drama, especially like that.

“We’ve barely spoken in the past; I’m sure we can be great friends,” Scarlett tells me.

“That would be great since Autumn can do with some new friends after what happened with Anya,” Griffin adds.

Scarlett and Clara give each other a knowing look. Of course, everyone was already talking about it by their expressions, but I didn’t expect anything different. I knew this would happen when I learned I would marry Atticus.

“You don’t need to feel uncomfortable around us.” Clara assured me.

“How about we don’t even bring that up,” Scarlett says.

Griffin grins, “I knew you girls were my safest option to introduce Autumn to. I told you I would make sure you weren’t uncomfortable.” He reminds me.

He was right. Scarlett and her sister seemed nicer than I expected them to be.
