The school 'IVY' was filled with the young rich generations, so many of the things at 'IVY' were highly upgraded compared to school for average people.
The cafeteria of the school was definitely up to the IVY's reputation. The food at IVY was made by the top quality chefs. The food was delicious but expensive.
The food menu was filled with all types of food, king shrimp, lobsters, chicken, duck and many other types of food.
You had to buy the meal during lunch time, and the school made tons of profit from the overly expensive cafeteria. Mostly everyone in the school was able to afford the school food, except the people who came from poor household;form scholarships or sponsorship.
Athena could buy food, with the weekly allowance the two sisters got, but she knew this food was overly expensive and did not want to waste the money. She needed the money to do something else; something more important.
During break-time, Helen and her friend got a snack. They offered the food to Athena and asked her if she wanted some. "Sis why aren't you eating, you didn't have a proper breakfast and aren't eating anything, aren't you hungry."
"I am not hungry, but afterwards when I am hungry I will eat. Don't worry about me, we still have lunch" Athena didn't want her sister to bother about her.
"So Athena, your her step-sister, there is a rumour that you guys might have the same father" Sara said, it wasn't really a rumour. Everyone just thought that Athena's mother somehow seduced Helen's father. Probably because of how sad and lonely he was after his wife's death so he was easily seduced.
Maria happened to have a daughter of her own and because of her mother Athena was able to enjoy the life of luxury.
Only a few knew the reality, Han thought that Athena was his own daughter, he had her with Maria, so did Helen because that is what Athena had told her sister.
Helen didn't really tell Sara anything about it, so she was shocked.
Honestly Sara didn't know anything about the family situation, all she wanted to do was to make Athena feel down. She wanted to tell Athena that she didn't have any relationship with Han. She wanted to tell Athena, she had no right to spend money that belonged to Han or was given to her from Han. She had no right to it because she was related to Han or Helen at all.
Athena didn't deserve this luxury, but other people who were more mature and close to Han knew that Athena was a daughter of Han and Maria. Why else would he marry a woman who was already aging, he could have married a younger woman.
Other people in the high society circle knew the scandal. Other people knew that Athena was born out of wedlock. Even if her mother has married Han, there would still be the faded stamp of illegitimacy.
But Sara in order provoke Athena said something very taboo. Helen was really mad that Sara had said something like, but she was also scared that someone knew about it and was telling other "W.W.What are you talking about? Who told you this?"
Athena knew that Sara was playing and trying to make her feel down. But she was amazed and amused at the little girl."Ohh. Do tell the type of rumours there are. I am curious."
Sara froze, she thought that Athena probably would say 'no' or act more recklessly, Then she would be able to find faults and show Helen her true self.
"It is probably true, you know my mother can do anything." Athena said entertained by Sara's expression. "I can also do anything." Athena winked and gave her a sly smile.
Sara was mortified at the women's behaviour, inside she knew that she was bad news. But felt that Helen would be protected under her care.
Break finished and the girls returned to their own classes.
…
Helen and Sara's classroom
"What do you think of my sister? She is nice, isn't she?" Helen waited for her best friend's reply.
"I don't know if she is nice, but she gives those vibes" Sara said her true thoughts.
"Vibes?"
"Ya, like dangerous." Sara looked at Helen's face and noticed her confused look. She then explained further. "For example, if I do something wrong or something that will somehow trigger her, she would kill me."
Helen was again confused, she never felt like that with her sister. She felt and knew that her sister loved and cared for. Even if she didn't show her concern on the outside. Her sister was always concerned for her.
…
Athena was having another trouble with her classmates, they had some free time because the teacher had left for a few minutes to get his learning guide.
"Oi, Oi, Oi" The student continued to get her attention.
"Listen"
"How did your mother seduce your new father?"
"Ya, how?"
"We are interested?"
Athena in the end ignored they were just young kids looking for fun. Before she got those memories and had ideas about her future and her future self.
If Athena was the person she was before that night, she would have probably now in this kind of situation fought back, or tried to become friends with the people in her class.
But for now she just ignored, them she knew, that most them after some discipline would become great figures in the near future. It was better to not offend them. This was because she really didn't want to cause trouble and because she was too lazy to confront the kids. She also felt it would be dumb if she tried to confront the students.
