Chapter 5- Golden Hearted
KAYLEE
"Lee, have you picked out the outfit ya gonna wear for our vacation", Rene asked as we sat in our chemistry class. She smiled at me after informing her of our surprising vacation in the hallway.
Flashback ••
"Hey girls, how was your night and your parent's reaction", said when I saw the view of Evelyn and Rene who were standing next to their locker. Theirs were closer to each other while mine is at the other side.
"They reacted badly but later calmed a little down", Rene replied shoving her back into her red locker.
"Tell me how did your parent reacted mine didn't. I'm old enough to not be worried about", commented Evelyn picking out her history textbook.
"Wait... What!!!. Eve how old are you, all we know for sure is that you are older", Rene reacted loudly the students in the hallway stopped watching us curiously.
"I'm not going to tell you, not now not ever"
"But Eve it's not fair, please tell us", Rene pleaded wrapping her hand around Eve's.
"I'm not saying and that's final", she slammed her locker door loudly which shut Rene immediately.
"They were mad at first but they were coolheaded and gave me sometime to get over TLK which I know I can never", I said sadly walking along side with Eve and Rene.
"How...it's nice. At least you got your parent's support" Rene said out.
I dragged Rene by her arm and wrapped it around mine also did the same with Eve.
"No, it isn't like that. They gave me a month to relax, think and unfortunately get over TLK. After a month, I'll come back for my training of being the perfect heiress... And I don't know how" I exhaled a whole out of breath leaning my head on Eve's shoulder.
"To not add to your problems. Have you chosen a country you're going to spend the wonderful month without your overprotective parents" Eve asked with her lovely brown eyes.
"Yes have chosen with the help of Isabelle last night"
"So, what country have you decided to visit", asked Rene trudging through the stair to the block of our chemistry and history class.
"Australia, I'm traveling to Australia"
"Why !! why Australia", Eve questioned. The three of us stood still in the middle of the stair.
"Izzy convinced me to visit Australia to know more about TLK and they have a lot of tourists sighting. I'm honestly excited to go", I beamed happily.
"Oh... okay then", Rene grunted.
"I heard Australia is good for fitting, I wanna feel the air of a different country. And you two are coming with me during our summer break, I don't want to hear a word that's my final decision", I said adamant knowing they wouldn't accept easily.
"Ok no prob, my parents will surely agree since you're coming too", Irene surprisingly agreed.
"I'm coming too so don't worry", we parted, Eve went to the left direction while Irene and I walked to the right direction as we waved to her.
Flashback ends here....
"What am I going to wear?" I asked with a puzzled look more of a statement and question.
"Yeah, it's hot in Australia and we have to go for shopping to get more sunny dresses and outfits", Irene stated sitting next to me.
"No no I have enough outfits to pack for our vacation there is no need for another shopping trip", I groaned cause I knew Rene wouldn't back out easily. She literally live for shopping.
"Girl you're a party pooper. We are travelling to Australia b**tch and you want me to wear the same outfit I wore before, girl you need to get a life", she yelled out and I laughed out loud.
And yeah the teacher is ruining late for class, chemistry lesson should have started five minutes ago.
I'm not a nerd or weird I'm just conscious of the time after our last meeting at our hideout.
"Rene we went for shopping last two week and now you want to me to follow you again, why are you punishing me. I did nothing wrong", I cried out hoping I would get out of this.
"No and No, you're coming me period. We are going on a trip to Australia, Australia", she sing repeated.
"Hoping we couldn't meet TLK but I know that isn't possible even with our wealth we can't", she wiped her fake tears.
"Don't worry one day we will. I promise"
I hope that day comes soon...
My eyes was darted to the door when Ellen walked in with her head lowered.
Like girl we need to stop her from doing that, she look so submissive, easy to be bullied which I despise....
"Hey Ellen, have a seat", I called her attention, she raised her eyes searching for my voice. Her eyes caught the student as she quickly lowered her eyes.
"There is an empty seat here, come Ellen", I called again, this girl is so timid and cute.
She slowly walk her way to the chair at the front of our.
"Hi Ellen", Rene said brightly.
"H-hi", she murmured which couldn't be easily heard but fortunately for us we did.
"How was your night", I asked while her back faced the board.
"It was fine"she replied timidly.
"So what do you think Ellen if you would follow us to Australia for our summer break" Rene asked cheerfully waiting for reply.
The shy girl smile widen "Yes, yes I would love that-",she yelled out after realizing she said that out too loud.
I laughed and appreciated that she was already opening up to us.
"And that's conclusive. You're coming with us, please share me your contact", asked Rene fetching out her iphone 12 pro strengthening fort to Ellen.
I don't like iPhone, not that I hate it I prefer Android like Samsung. iPhones are hard to operate and every single time they launch another version the old one are outdated who does that!!, I'm literally sticking to my Samsung S20.
Ellen imputed her number, unexpectedly the teacher came in after ten minutes of absence.
She look untidy, let me guess the most obvious answer she slept in.
"Ellen will you like to follow us to the mall for summer outfits this Saturday", Rene whispered in Ellen ear which gave her a fright. She recovered from it, she nodded slowly.
***
During lunch in our cafeteria, we ordered for lunch eating quietly this time around. Irene and Evelyn wasn't arguing as always maybe cause Irene is shopping online for more summer clothes and Evelyn is doing what so ever on her phone.
The only person who was eating with me is Ellen Davies.
Davies !!! Davies Why does the name sound familiar.
"Ellen, y-your parents are the No 6 most successful shipping business company right!! How are they", I unconscious asked which took Ellen by utmost surprisement and she swiftly dropped her spoon.
I felt bad immediately, I didn't want to interfere in her family matter, I was just a curious by the saying curiosity killed the cat -
"They are dead", a sad and shaking voice broke me out of my train of thought. I was over shocked not only me but also Irene and Eve dropped their phones. I paused and turned my eyes to her side as a tear plopped down her cheeks.
I don't know how she is feeling but I feel super bad for asking. I reopened her old wounds, I can't even imagine living without my parents.
So I don't know what she is going through.
"Yea.....E-Ellen, I'm sorry I didn't mean to open up your old wounds. I was a curious fool, I'm sorry please forgive me. I'm sorry, sorr-", she cut me off wiping her tear away and looking my way.
"No no it wasn't your fault. You had no idea, I'm sure you will want to know what happened to them but I can't say right now. Please forgive and give me some time", she half smiled acting really good trying to cover her pain but I could clearly see them in her watery grey eyes.
"It's okay Len, you don't need to tell us anything", Rene patted her back softly.
"Don't worry, we are here. We ain't going no where, after we are all friend", Evelyn stated lightning the mood.
"Yeah, we're going to be best of friends", I side hugged her while Evelyn hugged me and Irene hugged Ellen.

The school went slower than I assumed, I sighed watching the bodyguards at the parking lot waiting for me. My black mercedes stood shinning with the driver who opened the door for me widely.
I'm sick and tired of these treatment. Don't get me wrong it's not that I don't appreciate my family's wealth sometime it goes extravagant for my lifestyle.
I rolled my eyes as I waltzed inside the car, the engine roared to drive.
Exactly thirty minutes we arrived at my house, with the driver speedily opening the door for me.
Drivers shouldn't be meant to open door when we have hands to do them. I just don't get people.....
"Mr Oliver, I told you to stop opening the car door for me. I have hands and your job isn't opening of doors but driving, you're getting old. I have to respect you"
He chuckled and said "Ma'am, you're good hearted and special as your golden eyes. But I want to do this for what you have done for my family, I am so grateful ma'am".
"No don't do this. I have told you countless of times, I'm younger please don't call ma'am, it makes me look older than my age. I'm Kaylee, you can call me Lee",I smiled softly to the old man that had an problem last month with his family, his grand daughter was an heart patient and he desperately needed money which is why he is working hard to pay for her treatment as our driver.
Last month her health became critical and he cried beside our car thinking of how he would get the money for her surgery. Her parents died when she was 2 years and she only have her grandfather to take of her which he failed to do.
After listening to his story sitting next to him for twenty minutes I requested my dad to transfer his grand daughter to our hospital and promised to take care all finances concerning to get his grand daughter healthy.
A week passed, the surgery was successful but she didn't wake up just a week ago, I saw her laughing and playing healthier with her grandfather.
It warmed my heart immediately, from that moment he vowed to be loyal and reliable to our family. And this is the effect.... He treats me with so much respect and I hate it.
"Mr Oliver, I'll see you later. Tell Sofia I will visit and play with her on Saturday", I bowed to Mr Oliver making my way to the living room.
"Okay dear, she'll be waiting".
I walked into the living room dropping my Prada bag on the couch "Mom, I'm home"
No one answered until a maid came running down the stair.
"Hi Dawn, where is my mom?", I asked her, the girl with a black curled hair and deep blue eyes maybe two or three year older than me. The people in this house are older than me, I don't like it also.
Argghhh there are so much I don't like....
"Miss, she said she had an appointment to attend to. Will be back by the evening", she answered politely.
I'm all alone ...
