Chapter 2 - ALISHA NIGHTINGALE

In a city. Sun rising and people waking up to start they're day. In a certain house. A girl sleeping peacefully, snoring a little.

*ring ring*

As the alarm clock rang. The cover rises indicating the figure below is waking up. The girl stifled a yawn and stretched her limbs. She let out a content sigh when she heard a pop. Going to the bathroom to prepare herself. Inside. In the mirror. There reflects a young girl with a face that could rival the most handsome and beautiful people that exist. Her body was fit and lean. Right curves and toned stomach. One could tell she exercises and works out. Exiting the bathroom. She then headed downstairs. The living room had a modern theme to it. A big flat screen on the wall. On the left goes to the kitchen. It had everything it ever needed. A fridge, stove, cooking materials, organized ingredients in it's each cabinet. A table to use for preparing the food. Next to it is the dining room. It had a round table made of wood.

The girl walks in, a trey of food in her hands. Sitting down. She ate in silence. It was a very lonely atmosphere. The girl however is used to it. Ever since her parents had left her alone in this world. She got used to it. Looking at the clock. The time showed 7:00 AM. Finishing her food, she stood up and cleaned the table. Went to the front door and put on the shoes. Once outside she made sure to lock the door before leaving. She had 20 minutes of walking to the school. 10 minutes to arrive in her classroom. Another 10 minutes till the classes start.

Her brain worked differently from others. She can memorize in just a glance. Solve questions in a matter of seconds. Calculate every possibility, one scenario has. She can also multi-task. If one saw her. They might say she's a genuis. Just like her ancestors, the Nightingale Family. A family filled with genuises. Others envy them. Others respect them. Others fear them. Many felt different emotions towards the family. Be it negative or positive.

Alisha Nightingale. A girl whose perfect in every aspects. No flaws can be seen. No weakness. She is a very independent and reliable girl. Despite her age. Men or boys seek for her attention. Women and girls envy her in jelousy. But the said girl could care less. For she only wants to live with no drama.

She attends a private school. A school made for rich people. A chance for those who were sent to make a connection. For Alisha, she did not see the need to do the uneccessary. Her family is after all, The number 1 in business. The most influential family who, no one dares to even basked in their presence. But how is it still the most prominent in business when no one manages it? It was no secret that the head of the Nightingale Family is gone. They all wondered who was capable of successfully running the business. No one knew except for the Pendragon. 2nd most influential family in the business world. They knew who ran it. Who still made it stand tall when it should be crumpling down.

The pendragon and nightingale has been friends for a long time. It was due to a certain events that made both families get to know each other. Since then there has been no conflict between them. Both loyal to each other.

Back to the main story. We see young Alisha walk to her seat with an emotionless face. She had the aura of a cold and aloof person. Next to her, was her childhood friend. Elena Pendragon.

With a cheerful smile she greeted Alisha.

" Good morning, my friend " And did a little bow. Mimicing a butler.

Alisha glanced at her odd friend and greeted back. " Morning " Then sat in her seat.

Everyone's attention was on them the moment Alisha entered. They sweatdropped when they heard her response. The two were complete opposite of each other. Yet they get along well- really well. Everyone knew of their relationship. Heck- there's even a fanclub about the two. Though some could not help but be skeptical. Sure they are really close but what if there was more to it than just friendship? Thus the creation of their very own Ship club. Both sides decided to come together and form an alliance. The two said girls though did not care. They can do whatever they want. They want to create a fanclub? Then go do that.

*riiiiiiiing*

The bell rang meaning class is starting. All settled down when the teacher came in. Overall the day was just like any other day.

At lunch. Alisha and Elena sat at their usual spot. At the back of the school there was a path that leads to an old clubroom. They had stumbled upon it while walking leisurely. Inside was clean, no speck of dust can be seen. Elena sat with Alisha in front of her. They ate in silence and no one spoke. Alisha liked the quietness. Elena as it was somewhat calming. They both finished lunch in 15 minutes.

After a while. Elena asked a question.

" So I heard that the Whyte family disturbed you again "

" Yes " Alisha answered with one eyebrow raised.

Elena sees this, sighs. She doesn't get how her friend is so calm about stuff. She was also impressed when she found out that Alisha was the one managing her family business. A girl doing business and school at the same time. Others will surely be impressed. How did she get time on both? That she did not know. She would need to ask her later.

Elena hummed. Still staring at her friend. Alisha doing the same. Silence once again enveloped the whole room. Both observing each other. The first one to look away was Elena. She did not know why Alisha stares at her like that. There was amusement and another emotion she could not decipher. Her friend was full of mysteries.

She sighed as she stood up. Alisha following her movement. Both started to head back. One thought crosses Elena's mind as she walked.

When will her friend, the one whose curiosity is over the limits, come back?
