Maria walked through the school gates, her legs heavy with the weight of another ordinary day. She had always found high school a chore, but with her best friend Jessica by her side and the charming smile of her boyfriend Jim beside her, it was a little more bearable. As she walked down the crowded hallway, Maria's eyes scanned the sea of familiar faces. She saw Jessica leaning against a locker, sipping a Starbucks coffee. "Hey, girl!" Jessica called out, greeting Maria. "I've reserved a table by the window in the café. We can have breakfast before our first lesson."
Maria smiled, grateful for her friend's kindness. "This looks perfect. I'm hungry!"
As they walked towards the café, Maria's mind turned to Jimmy. They had been together for months and everything seemed perfect. He was charming, kind, and very handsome. Mary couldn't help but feel a little smug every time they walked down the hall together, Jim's arm casually wrapped around her shoulders. But when they entered the café, Mary's gaze landed on a sight that made her heart skip a beat. Jim was sitting at a table, laughing and talking to a girl Mary had never seen before. The girl was beautiful, with long, curly blonde hair and piercing green eyes. She leaned against Jim, her hand on his arm, and Maria felt the unmistakable spark of attraction between them.
Maria's eyes narrowed,a pang of unease settling in the pit of her stomach.Who was this girl and why is Jim flirting with her so openly?
Maria's eyes focused on Jimmy and the mysterious blonde, her heart pounding with a mixture of anger and pain. She felt an irresistible urge to confront them, to demand an explanation for Jim's blatant flirtation. Without hesitation, Maria approached his desk, her eyes shining with intensity. "Hey, Jim," she said, her voice low and even. "Who's your new friend?" Jim's eyes narrowed in guilt, but he quickly calmed down, giving Maria a sympathetic smile. "Oh, it's Charlotte. We were just talking about a school project." Charlotte's eyes met Maria's and for a moment they stared at each other. Maria's instincts told her something was wrong. She could feel the tension between Jim and Charlotte, the unspoken attraction hanging in the air like a challenge. But when she looked at Jimmy, he looked completely innocent, his eyes wide with sincerity. "I didn't know you were working on a project together," Maria said, her voice filled with skepticism. Jim shrugged. "Yeah, we started fighting. It's not serious." Maria's eyes narrowed, her mind filled with doubt. She knew Jimmy was lying, but she didn't want to make a scene in front of the whole school. "Whatever," Maria finally said, turning to leave. "I'll talk to you later, Jim." » When she turned to Jessica, she felt Charlotte's gaze on her, a subtle challenge that made Maria's skin flush.
Jessica looked up as Maria approached. "Hey, Jess," Maria said, sitting down next to her friend. "Who's the new girl?" »
Jessica followed Maria's gaze and raised an eyebrow. "I have no idea, but she really makes a good impression." »
Maria watched as the girl effortlessly charmed Jimmy and the other students around her. She seemed to enjoy the attention, and Maria couldn't help but feel a little intimidated. As the morning wore on, Maria found herself seeing the mysterious girl more and more often. She couldn't help but wonder who this girl was and what her story was. After lunch, Maria and Jessica left for their next class. As she left the cafeteria, Maria saw the mysterious girl enter the hallway. She looked even more beautiful up close and Maria felt jealous. As they approached their classroom, Maria noticed a group of students gathered near the school gate. They were staring at something, their faces filled with a mixture of curiosity and suspicion. Maria's eyes followed his and she felt a jolt of surprise. A sleek black car had pulled up to the curb and a handsome man with piercing blue eyes had gotten out of the back seat. "Who is it?" Jessica whispered, her eyes wide with interest. Maria shook her head. "No idea, but it's really expensive." »
As they watched, two people got out of the car, their faces stern and serious.
"Richard, remember what we discussed," one of them said in a low, urgent voice. "You must avoid blood, especially in the science lab."
Richard nodded, his eyes bright with amusement. "Everything will be fine," he said with a charming smile. "I can do it myself."
The students watching from afar exchanged confused glances. "What do you mean by 'avoiding blood'?" one of them whispered. Another student shrugged. "Maybe he has a health problem or something." Mary's curiosity was piqued. She wondered what Richard's story was and why he seemed to be getting such special treatment. As Richard turned to enter the school, the students continued to speculate about the mysterious newcomer. "I heard he had some kind of rare disease," said one student. "I don't know, but it's really cool," another student replied. Maria raised an eyebrow, intrigued by the sudden buzz around Richard. She made a mental note to watch him and see if she could learn more about his mysterious past.
