because of those stupid books, getting bored listening to Gabe’s crap story. She had gone through a lot of stuff lately and had enough on her plate as it was, suffering from that eating disorder that had made her stay for rehab at a specialized clinic for several months. She was totally happy about her mom’s sudden success as a writer, but as soon as they arrived in Canada, her mom ran off going from one meeting to another and had put Ana up with her stepbrother, of whose existence she hadn’t even been aware of until recently.
    She hadn’t seen her father since she was a baby. He had never been into getting to know her. Gabe, her step-brother seemed to be a weird lunatic, least it felt that way to Ana. Gabe said, he was in a web of conspiracy. At first glance he looked normal, he was even rather handsome if one liked the mean looking type. Ana had never felt an attraction for this type of guy. But there was definitely something strange about him. He had asked her to visit some Martial Art Club just because Ana was dumb enough to mention that she had done some Judo back over the years. Apparently, he needed her to spy on a girl, and she suspected kind of a devious mission behind his easy, innocent, smile.
    She sighed, brushing her long dark hair off her face, “Ok, Gabe I am on my way to meet this Leyla girl. Tell mom I will be back around six o clock. Or else she can call or text me on my cellphone, ok?" Gabe smiled winningly, “Oh, by the way, she called earlier when you were on the phone with Leyla. She said to tell you, that she met with her future son-in-law today. I didn’t know you had such an interesting love life. Did you chat with someone on a dating APP, before you arrived? Scalded love, wow, I am impressed. Would not have thought you were such a freak.” He looked at her in a curious way. Ana rolled her eyes, "I can imagine whom she is talking about, and no it has nothing to do with a dating APP, although this is an interesting idea. Do me a favor and just forget about it." He shrugged. Ana grabbed her shoulder-bag, winked at Gabe and then she disappeared through the door. This time, her mom was going too far, even telling Gabe about that crap. As if she was interested, to become a groupie of a pop star, just because he evoked her mom’s maternal feelings. If she thought he was that hot, why didn’t she go out with him herself, or adopt him or whatsoever crazy idea she had. Ana was fed up hearing, that he was her mom's dream son-in-law. She was sixteen, damn it.
    Shaking her head, Ana approached the subway station. In which direction did she have to go? It was all quite confusing for her in this city. Tonight, they would go to the Canadian Entertainment Awards ceremony as her mom received a nomination in the category of books. Given the fact that she had met her early lost love accidently at Toronto airport, the spurned love of her life, which she had happened to meet and lose before meeting her father many years ago and had regretted losing him ever since. So, she quickly arranged to put the long lost spurned guy in between a couple of appointments. Great. So much for, ‘ you have to come with me to Canada, and especially Toronto it is so fantastic blah, blah, blah .’ Everything starting with Ca and ending with nada just happened to be perfect for her mom, no matter what it was. It sucked! Whatever, Ana needed a decent dress for the Awards and hoped that Leyla could help her find a suitable outfit. Quickly she hurried out of the subway walking away as fast as she could in the direction of the shopping center. She was late, because of her troubles with that subway system, and first taking the train in the wrong direction. It had taken her some time to get back on track.
    In her hometown back in Switzerland, there was not even a rail station let alone a subway. Ana was simply unable to cope. It was all so confusing. Out of breath, she arrived a quarter of an hour late at the entrance of this darn huge
