Episode 2 ( present time)
Lucinda tiptoed into the school, trying as much as possible to avoid prying eyes. Before she got admitted into Royals High School, she had thought it was the best school anyone would ever wish for but with time, she realised Royals High wasn't meant for paupers like hers. The rich kids often derive pleasure from hurting students below their standards.
"Hey Silver" someone called. Lucinda turned quickly amd waved. She had been nicknamed Silver because of her silvery eyes and hair.
All she wanted was to get to class without being seen by Cassy and her crew . Lucinda sucked in her lips as she remembered the bullies. They had tormented her since she got admitted without a reason.
"Few more minutes" she encouraged herself and hastened her steps.
"And where do you think you're going?" Lucinda heard the familiar voice.
"Talk of the devil" she mumbled as she turned to face Cassy and her escorts.
Cassy moved closer in fury and gave her a hard slap which made her crew laugh out.
"I just asked you a question!"
Lucinda stared tearfully at them. Cassy was one hell of a crazy bitch who wouldn't stay out of her way. She had always made sure she doesn't get to,attend classes.
"I have a class to attend" Lucinda answered slowly.
"Did you hear that?" Cassy turned to face her friends.
"You think a low life like you can sit in the same class with me? she berated.
"Now listen bitch! just because you got a scholarship to study in Royals High doesn't mean you get the same priviledge with me" she continued
"Rosy?" she called with an outstretched hand.
"Yes sweetheart" Rosy answered eyeing Lucinda cuspiciously and handed Cassy something which made Lucinda shiver.
"No not again" Cassy grinned evily at her. She had always loved tormenting the silvery headed girl.
She had picked her because everyone considered her as the most beautiful in Royals High.
Even if she's truly a beauty, Royals High was meant for kids like her not paupers.
"Since you've decided to be stubborn, this is what you get" Cassy stated as she broke an egg and broke the content into her hair. Her crew bursted into laughter as Lucinda struggled to get the grisly content out of her hair
"Don't you dare!!" Cassy roared.
"No one! Not even you can take the crown from me" she stated as she emptied another bowl of a grisly content on her hair.
"Oh my god, you smell real bad" Natasha jeered at her.
"come on girls, let's go. She's got a lot to deal with" Cassy sneered at Lucinda as she urged the girls to leave.
She looked at Lucinda as they all moved towards their class.... She had been considered as the most beautiful girl at Royals High before Lucinda got admitted.
After her a close inspection, Cassy realised that Lucinda was not only beautiful with those gorgeous silvery eyes and hair, she was also curvy.
while she was extremely white and slim, Lucinda had a perfectly toned white skin with a curvy body which was always hidden under her oversized clothes. Knowing Lucinda had these qualities made her squirm.
Lucinda might be chosen as the face of Royals High and she would be Overthrown.
"NEVER!"
she would never allow that.....
Lucinda watched in glee as the crew left for class.
"Finally!" she breathed out and rushed towards the washroom as soon as they were out of sight.
She rushed into the washroom and sighed.
Thanks to Royals High for having these facilities.
She untied her hair immediately and poured the creamy soap into her hair. She needed time to get rid of the rubbish they'd discarded on her body.
She pulled off her already stained blouse and quickly changed into the one she had brought along to school. She had always prepared for them
She packed her hair in a ponytail and slipped on her jacket.
"Time for class" she stated in a sing song voice and looked into the mirror. Lucinda moved slowly towards the class. She was sure she had missed a lot but it was better late than never.
"Wow! " someone cooed as she made her way to her seat.
"Don't you think she's more beautiful than Cassy? "
Everyone began to murmur
Cassy and her crew turned to look at her. She had changed her clothes and her hair which was messed up minutes ago had been washed and packed into a ponytail which made her look more beautiful.
"Why would she look so beautiful with those silvery eyes " Classy wondered silently as she fought back tears of frustration. She looked at her closely and saw the red tiny marks she had inflicted on her face.
"Serves her right" she mumbled.
She would definitely deal with her after the class.

Lucinda opened the door to their averagely furnished room silently. She had managed to escape Cassy's cruelty and had scurried home.
"Sweetie " she heard her mother's voice and strode into the kitchen.
"How was school today? " her mother asked still not facing her. She was busy cooking what Lucinda considered tasty even while she hadnt had a taste.
"It was fine mum" she mumbled and hugged her mother behind.
"Hmm....did you miss that much? " her mother teased.
"Yes I did" she answered she answered reminding herself that her mother wouldn't allow Cassy touch her if she knew what was going on at school.
"Alright... Alright, you need to eat up now because we've got a job"
"Really?" Lucinda beamed and picked up her food.
"Tell me about it mu" she whined
"Okay, it's the normal job with a higher pay" her mother explained.
Lucinda was wild with excitement. Such news usually give them hope for a brighter future.
"We have to be there as soon as possible " she stated as she emptied her bowl of spaghetti. Her mother had been a wash woman since she was a kid and she'd always helped her even when she refused.

Lucinda stood behind as the stranger conversed with her mother
"We will definitely do a good hob" her mother assured.
"Alright, you have the job" the woman said.
Oh! Thank you ma'am"
"By the way, your daughter is beautiful" the stranger gushed.
"Thank you" Lucinda and her mother chorused.
"Let's get to work baby" her mother urged.
Lucinda proceeded with the stranger into the mansion.
"No spoilt kid?... " Lucinda thought as she climbed up the stairs.
"Mum!! I need to get this done!! " someone screamed from the interior.
Alright she was wrong. A spoilt kid was right there in the mansion
"Go into that room, get the fabrics and the necessary equipments" the stranger instructed and turned to leave.
Lucinda nodded in acknowledgement.
Lucinda opened the door to the room and was surprised.
"Well that's how it rolls with the rich"
She had expected tons of fabrics but they we're just few.
"Let's get to work!" She hummed as she parked the fabrics into a cart. She opened the door and was surprised to Rosy at the staircase.
She was too bust on her phone to notice her presence.
"Oh! No" Rosy turned to go into her room and was dumbstruck to see Lucinda in a wash woman's uniform and also pushing a cart.
"Oh! Low life, you got the job? " she mocked.
"Well well see who we've got" she stated as she filmed Lucinda. She pushed the cart roughly down the stairs and watched in glee as the fabrics scattered all over.
"What are you waiting for? Go pick them up low life" she screamed at her.
Lucinda watched calmly, walked past her and did as she'd instructed. She wouldn't want anything to stop them from getting the money. She picked up the fabrics and arranged them carefully into the cart while Rosy continued filming her.
She could upload the video anywhere. She would never be ashamed of being a wash woman's daughter.
