Seven years had passed since the incident that left Cash devastated. Now, at sixteen, she had blossomed into a young lady. Despite her physical growth, Cash still struggled with the emotional scars of her past.
The Richmond family, who had taken Cash under their wing, reassured her that everything would be fine. Her older brother, Sebastian, was a constant source of encouragement. Unbeknownst to him, Cash had developed a passion for makeup and beauty. She had learned to enhance her features and conceal her flaws.
On her sixteenth birthday, Cash and her family relocated to South Earth, a new town filled with opportunities. The prestigious South Earth Academy was renowned for its academic excellence and comfortable learning environment. Cash and Sebastian were eager to start their new life.
The sun shone brightly on their first day at the academy. Cash woke up feeling hopeful and determined. She carefully applied her makeup, making sure to conceal her imperfections. With her uniform, socks, and white boots in place, she felt confident and beautiful.
As she headed downstairs, her family barely recognized her. "Wow, Cash, you look stunning!" her mother exclaimed. Sebastian and their parents beamed with pride.
With a newfound sense of confidence, Cash and Sebastian set off for their first day at South Earth Academy.
