Annelise's smirk only grew upon Kenna's outburst. She was well aware that the girl thought she could compare to her. It was actually a little sad. Did Kenna have potential? Yes, in another life. New York had been Annelise's playground for far too long for her to lose her position of power to some Daddy's girl. Especially considering Kenna was so damn emotional. Really, how did she think she could handle being a Queen if the smallest sign of critique made her upset. And Annelise wanting Alexander? A frozen day in hell, she thought. The only thing Kenna needed to think of as her goal is to remain known as the pretty one and that was all, and even then her job was...well, Annie knew she beat her from the time she turned ten. And Alexandra and Katherine? They were practically supermodels at this point. Kenna was just there to boost everyone else's self esteem.
Instead of responding, Annelise's famous knowing grin flitted across her face and she exchanged a look with Alexandra. She was well aware that her best friend didn't favor the newcomer. The only reason why Annie even allowed her in her presence was because she did in fact like Kenna's clothing style...and well, there was one reason why she stayed and it had nothing to do with Annelise needing to keep her eye on the brunette. She had plenty of informants who could do that.
"Soon enough," Annelise replied to Kenna's inquiry about the school assembly. The brunette felt put off, obviously, and she was throwing a tantrum. It was a headache, that was what it really was. Annelise then thought of something, and then took a moment to observe Kenna's countenance as she asked, "How's your Dad anyway? Did he enjoy his summer?" From what Annelise had seen, he definitely enjoyed making out with her mother - when the blonde actually made an appearance around the penthouse before Annelise had left for France. She was aware that Kenna didn't know, and both adults made her promise not to spill anything yet. It had been an accident when Annelise had seen, Henry wanted to be able to have that conversation with his daughter. He didn't trust her reaction and Annelise thought the bitch had a daddy complex, but she left it alone. Idly, she glanced at the guys, who were engaged in their own conversation.
Alexander laughed a bit after Cliff told him that they needed to make this year straight. "Damn straight," he exclaimed with a grin, though he was aware that he had made his years count already. Unlike Cliff, Lex had had his fair share of fun and, hopefully, this year would prove to be the best. "And I didn't do much. Took a few photography courses, met a few people, and helped out with mom - who's doing really good by the way. She had good business with the tourists and a few critics gave her some rave reviews, so she's hoping to expand in the next year. Says you should stop on by sooner or later."
