kicking away the alarm clock that kept ringing non stop, Lily Yan decided to get up this time.

when she realised what she had done, she scrambled up from the bed and started searching for her precious Alarm clock. Her mom (bless her soul) custom made that clock for her because she's so used to destroying her alarm clocks after about 3 days claiming it's "disturbing her beauty sleep".

"oh my baby! I'm so sorry" Lily cooed the clock as she cuddled it on her chest.

"wow, it's 8am I better start getting ready".

opening her underwear drawer, she took out her underwears, brought out her white socks and a black almost knee length boot.

she opened her wardrobe and got her uniform out, placed them all on the bed and went to take a shower.

Sitting and reading the newspaper, Mr Yan looked up to see his rebel 17 years old daughter walking down the stairs looking Gothic with her black hair, black boots, black skirt and her black makeup.

shaking his head he went back to what he was reading.

"hey honey, why are you still home? it's 9.30" an extremely soft disgusting voice raided Lily's ear

"since when do you care when I wake up miss Lu?" she retorted back

"easy, I was just asking.....

"never call me Honey" Lily interjected "cos you'll never be a part of this family in my eyes"

"don't say that to your mother" Mr Yan raised his voice for the first time since the whole conversation started

"I'll never say that to my mother but I can say whatever I want to this wench here who took my mother's place without waiting for us to morn her properly" she said gently well, too gently directly to her dad

"how long was it Dad?" Lily asked

"how long was what??"

"how long was your extramarital affair with this woman that you couldn't wait for mom to die before bringing her ugly ass in Dad?!!" Lily shouted, paused a bit and walked out into the kitchen

Mr Yan could only sigh, looking as his once sweet and bubbly daughter turn into this and he couldn't do anything about it. maybe he could but his mistakes has caught up with him. "I'll just give her the space she needs" he said in his head

"here, breakfast" her nanny Mrs An gave here a box filled with steamed buns and soy milk

"don't be angry anymore alright?"

"sure, where's my sister?" Lily asked her nanny

"School" Mrs An replied cleaning the countertop

"bye Nanny" Lily hugged her and skipped away holding her breakfast to her chest

while Mrs An just smiled behind her

"so beautiful"

getting close to the school gate, the driver stopped at her usual spot so she could eat her breakfast.

imagine people seeing the school bad girl eating steamed buns and soy milk from a pink fancy food pack 'ugh! 😄

she took one bun and gave the rest to the two construction workers that were fixing the pavement there.

Walking into the school which was almost dead silent, apart from the sounds of teachers teaching different classes and her shoes clanking away on the hallway grounds no other sounds could be heard.

she went to Yan Shuya's class and found her listening to whatever was being taught then she proceeded to her own class.

"miss Yan?" the principal caught her sneaking into the class

"principal Zhao" she called

"you're late" he said

"I know"

"just because your dad owns this school doesn't mean you can be late"

she just sat down and looked up at him "please continue with the announcement sir"

shaking his head, he kept going

"as I was saying, you all are in your final year and there will be competition as we do every year. all the graduating high school students from about 10 selected high schools around the country will participate in it. Our school is part of the top 5 schools selected.

So I'm here today to call out the top 5 students in this class that will be representing Yan high.

Lily looked down and started rubbing her palms together hoping her Dad can be proud of her once again just like old times. if she help the school win He just might look at her, even though he doesn't smile at her, a "Congratulations" from him would mean the whole world to her.
