Chapter one
I stood in front of the rectangular mirror admiring my reflection in it. I was dressed in my school uniform, white shirts, blue plaided skirt and black neck tie, I also wore black socks and white sneakers.
I let my hair fall on my shoulder and I applied mascara. I starred at myself in the mirror again.
"Oh Ariana, you rock girl!" I said to myself as I winked and made a funny facial expressions. I laughed at my own silly joke.
That was me, my life held so much sorrows . All I needed to do is to make it up to myself.
"Now it's time to show those spoilt brats what I have in me" I said and picked up my bag.
"Ria! Won't you get your butt down here, you're almost late for school" I heard my mum shout. I rolled my eyes and walked downstairs.
I'm neither from a rich nor poor family. It's just I and my mum. We are both satisfied with our low life. It helps much peace.
I got to mum and pecked her on her cheeks.
"Bye mum" I said.
"Have this" she gave me a lunch box which I assume contains Sandwiches.
"Thanks mum" I said and went out of the house.
"Good bye pumpkin, be a good girl I heard her say from the inside.
Today is my first day in Caston high school. The most expensive school in California.
How I got into the school is a story for another day.
••••~~••••
I got to the bus stop and I couldn't find a cab in time. I brought out my phone and started listening to music 'like lilies' by Jane.
🎶🎶 If I could write a book about you
No words are fit to describe you
You are the best person I know
Ya like lilies
Smells like roses
In my garden....🎶
I was so engrossed in the music I was listening to that I didn't hear the car horn.
George's POV
I groaned as I woke up to the sound of the alarm. I stood up and put off the alarm.
"Good morning sunshine" Sasha said as she walked in with a cup of coffee in the tray. I rolled my eyes as I looked at her, everything about her irritates me.
Sasha Banks, the child of the owner of the biggest fashion modelling company. Mr Banks is a friend to my father and they ( Mr Banks and My father) both wants us to have a thing.
"I know you wouldn't mind a cup of coffee" she said seductively and began to rub my back.
"Not this morning, Sasha!" I said yanking off her hand from my back.
"Honey don't you think you are being too harsh on me, I just wanted to care for you" She stated rolling her eyes.
"Don't call me honey, it doesn't suit your mouth and how the hell did you get the keys to my house"
"Forget about that and let's focus on why I am here" she said biting her lips as she stared at my abs.
Oh!... I forgot I wasn't wearing a shirt. I stood up to reach for a shirt when I heard my phone ring.
"Who is that" she said and quickly kept shut when she saw me glaring at her.
It was my dad calling me.
"Hi Dad" I said into the phone.
"Son, You are coming to California" dad said.
"But Dad..."
"No buts, get ready in two days time"he interrupted me and cut off the call.
There was no point arguing with my dad, when he says something, he means it.
"So your Dad called" Sasha said.
For a moment I forgot she was here.
"What if he did" I asked and made to step out of the room and she followed me.
She has always been so clingy.
"Uhhm I missed him, I can't wait to meet him" she said.
I ignored her,she only likes him because he approves our relationship.
Veronica's POV
The driver tried pressing the car brake, but it wouldn't work....
"Mr Luke! Do something!!!" I shouted in fear looking at the girl in front.
"I'm trying Miss Vero but the brakes aren't working" he said pressing the horn of the car but the girl seems to be engrossed in whatever she was doing on her phone.
"It seems that I have gotten the hang of it" Mr Luke said but it was too late, the car made a screeching sound...
I opened the door of the car and rushed outside. I met the girl on the floor, her hair was scattered all over her face and beside her right hand was her phone which had a broken screen, she had her earpiece on...that must have been the reason why she didn't hear the car horn.
"Mr Luke! Hurry, let's safe her before it's too late" I shouted at Mr Luke who was still in the car cause he was yet to get over the shock.
"Let's take her to the school clinic" I said to him as he carried her into the car.
