The Archer's Academy.
The words were written in bold Golden colour and honestly, Victoria would not be surprised if they were written with actual gold. The academy was made for the children of the stinking Rich people of Oklahoma and from the other states who came here to study.
The building looked more like an office than a school. It was big, like a skyscraper and made of glass exterior. The inside was just as astonishing if not more. The entire structure was outstanding but the students and the teachers, not so much.
"I heard the school is introducing new uniforms," someone particular from behind her said, "now, I would tell Daddy to go against it but I want to see how the scholarship variants manage to get them."
Variant was defined as a form or version of something that differs in some respect from other forms.
Scholarship variants, Yes, that was their name. The scholarship kids that had came into the school with their hard work and brain, were a joke to these people, something to laugh at, something to judge.
Something to make disappear.
"Victoria would be naked then."
A loud ruckus of laughter followed the last statement making her blush and lower her head even more.
Someone shuffled closer to her and she opened her eyes slightly before turning her head to her friend, Mia.
"Barbaric people," she hissed and wiped her cheeks, "I wonder when Karma would get them."
She wondered that too. Maybe their parents even bought karma.
Her eyes shifted to the second in command of the queen bee squad of the academy. Leah Adams.
Victoria and Leah were quite similar. But that was just in facial expressions, their lives were miles apart.
Maybe the myth is true that approximately seven people were looking the same way in the world because the only difference between Leah and her was their hair colour, other than that almost everything was the same.
Their eyes were the same blue colour but somehow only Leah the colour looked bright and on her, they looked dull. Leah's face had sharp cheekbones and jawline just like, but hers came from malnourishment and Leah had gone to South Korea just for its reconstruction.
Their lips were equally full but the rich girl had fillers in hers and the poor one had swollen them from constant biting, not to mention they were also dried.
Hardly mattered if the girl had fillers on her lips or not, for a day Victoria would do anything to live her life. Just one day.
Chuckling to herself, she put down her head until the teacher came who was also going to pick on her.
Everybody picked on her.
*****
The final bell rang and the teacher held them up for a minute to give them their assignments before leaving the class and allowing them to disperse.
Victoria was almost done packing her things when she saw the shiny black Louboutin heels stop in front of her bench.
She sucked in a sharp breath, it was time for some more harassment before the day finished. Raising her head, she looked into the eyes of the person only to find it was Leah. "Yes?"
Leah leaned down a little and Victoria felt her hand cover hers. Glancing at it by the time Leah took hers away, Victoria stared at her hand in bewilderment.
A five hundred dollar note.
It was her first time seeing it.
"I.." she gulped, but then gave it to Leah, "No." whatever it was. She won't do it.
Leah huffed before folding her hands in front of her chest. Even though they were both eighteen, Leah had better boobs.
"Listen to me, malnourished baby," Leah sighed, "I'm just giving you the money to work for me, okay? No porn or stuff. Just complete my assignments for me for the year and at the end of the year, I'll give you another five, okay?"
A thousand dollars for something she was good at? Hell yes!
"A-are you sure?" Leah and her friends were not exactly trustworthy. For all she knew, this could end up on YouTube.
Leah nodded and waved around, "no friends? See? You just need to do my work for me because I need the grades. Ciao now."
Victoria stared at the breathtaking girl who turned around and walked effortlessly in those heels that she could just dream about.
With the five hundred dollar note in her hands, She picked up her bag and was about to walk towards the door where Leah was about to exit when two hands grabbed the girl.
Victoria gasped.
"Stop it!" Leah screamed at the top of her lungs. "Let go!"
Victoria took a step back, her eyes watching the two men manhandle the girl before one of them pulled out a half-filled syringe and stabbed Leah in the neck with it.
Fuck, fuck, fuck. Kidnappings happened in these highly secured schools too?!
Victoria took another step back when her lower back collided with the corner of the desk and she hissed.
She froze at the sound and so did the men in the room. When her eyes started to the front, she saw the men staring at her.
Immediately she raised her hand with $500 and showed it to them. "I-I have money.."
The man on the left barked out a laugh and pointed his gun at Leah, "and this one has millions in the bank—"
"Look at her," The right one said, "it's a twin."
Twin? "Twin?" She repeated. What twin?
The left one immediately paid heed to the words of the right one. He compared the two of them by repeatedly glancing at them before charging to the words Victoria. "Well, The twin comes too."
