Sara woke up with a jolt. Her whole body ached terribly and she couldn't help but bite her lips in agony. It felt like she was dying! Once again she cursed that handsome stranger in her mind. That punk better stay out of her sight!
"What a colourful face." A mocking voice came from the side.
Sara turned her head with great difficulty and saw a girl sitting on the chair close to her bed. The girl was wearing a white school shirt with a cute bow tie around the neck. Her plaid blue skirt was short and rested above her knees revealing pretty long legs. Her black hair was draped over her small face making her look even more delicate. She had on knee length socks and white sneakers.
'Who the fudge is this?'
A name floated into her mind. Su Anran. Class monitor of Class A. Class A was the class for the absolute best. The cream of the crop. The geniuses of City A's First High School. Of course Sara wasn't able to enter because she was brilliant. Rather, her parents had spent a ton to get her into the best class in school.
As a result the students of Class A all despised her as she continuously pulled down their average, making them come second to their rival, Class B.
"The precious young miss is now awake. Or should I say, 'former' young miss!" Su Anran covered her mouth as she laughed spitefully.
Sara stared at her with a smile. "Atleast I'm still better than the abandoned young miss of the Su family."
"You...!" Su Anran fumed. She recovered as she said, "I heard that Lu Chen has publicly acknowledged the young miss of the Zhen family as his girlfriend. But looking at you lying all alone with nobody by your side, I'll be guessing that young miss is not you."
"How could it be me? A scumbag naturally has to have a white lotus by his side." Sara smiled.
Su Anran was taken aback by the nonchalant attitude of Sara. She must be pretending! Yes! Su Anran comforted herself.
"Did you come here just to mock me? Lady Su, I might have turned a blind eye before, but aren't you becoming more obsessed with me?" Sara giggled.
"Disgusting!" Su Anran spat out.
"If I disgust Miss Su so much, why are you here then?"
"Sara, either get out of Class A or stop pulling us down. Our midterms are coming soon yet you're sick, do you want to hold us down again this time?"
"Oh, so Miss Su is here to wish me speedy recovery. You should have been straightforward. Why were you being shy?"
"You're sick." Su Anran hissed and stood up. "If you don't return to school before the midterm, Class A will be submitting a petition to the Principal to send you out of Class A."
"Sure sure." Sara waved. "Just pass me that glass of water before you leave."
Su Anran smiled darkly and grabbed the glass, putting it even farther out of reach. "Good riddance Sara!"
Sara shook her head. Such pettiness.
She eyed the glass of water grievously. She was really thirsty.
The door opened again and Anna entered.
"Sara..."
Sara immediately recovered her aloof look.
She stared emptily at Anna.
"Does it still hurt?" Anna approached carefully.
"What do you think Mrs Zhen?" Sara smiled indifferently.
"Sara.... It's still mum. Nothing has changed. We have already applied to adopt you formally. You'll still remain the First Miss of the Zhen family."
"Hahaha." Sara laughed wildly. "Doing all that will not change the truth Mrs Zhen."
"Sara..."
"I want to be alone." Sara turned her face away." You should leave now, Mrs Zhen."
Anna stared at her before leaving sadly.
"Do you have to be so harsh?" The Host inquired.
"Do you want to have your parents back or not?" Sara glared.
The Host shut up.
Sara eyed the water sadly once again. Alas! If she had known she would have gotten Anna to hand her the glass. She was considering standing up again when the door opened for the third time.
"Who the..." Sara choked as she saw the figure approaching. "You! How dare you show up in front of me?"
Lu Qi smiled at the bristling girl. "Hello Miss Sara."
"You punk! After almost getting me killed, how dare you appear in front of me?"
"Since Miss Sara had the mind to throw herself out the window, I'm sure she had already thought of the consequences."
Sara gnashed her teeth as she tried to calm herself down. Her self control seemed to have flown away after she entered this body.
"What do you want?" She released a flirtatious smile.
Lu Qi dragged the chair closer to the bed and moves the water closer. "First mositen your throat. Your lips are cracked."
Sara almost cried. Bless your soul little boy!
He held the glass and fed her the water slowly.
Sara gulped down the glass of water. A few drops glistened on her lips.
Lu Qi's eyes darkened as he stared at those few droplets.
"Stay still." He leaned over.
Sara's eyes opened wide. Was this punk trying to kiss her?
Lu Qi saw her widened eyes and smirked. He moved closer until his lips were but an inch away from hers and their breaths mingled. He stared fixedly at her as he lifted his hands and scattered her hair over the pillow. Following that, he took out a notepad and a pencil and began drawing.
Sara was dumbfounded. This snake! If not because her whole body ached, she would have killed this man, sorry, boy already!
She could only lie fuming as he drew her figure into his notepad. When he was done, he got up slowly.
"I'll see you after school tomorrow."
And with that he left.
Sara wondered how she had provoked this weirdo.
