Chapter 1
Ashley....
I woke up 7:15am sharp and headed to the bathroom to wash up. I am excited about school, I'd be resuming for my senior year. I picked out a pair of crazy baggy jeans with a barbie crop top and a pair of leather boots. I got all. my study materials into my bag and headed downstairs for breakfast.
"Ashley" my mum Maya called while attending to the bacon and eggs
"Hey mum, good morning how was your night?" I walked up behind her and gave her a hug
"Not bad, yours?" she replied returning the hug with a peck on my cheeks
"Great" i said "Mum the bacons really smell good" bending closer to the fry pan to get a better scent of the aroma
In less than five minutes ,beakfast was ready , I ate and left the house waving my mum bye.
My very first day at linksday high school. My mum and I moved downtown Toronto last week after my mum and dad got divorced a month ago. Mum wanted a change of environment and i get that. She and my dad really loved each other but he got drunk one night and cheated which resulted into pregnancy......blah blah blah....today is all about me not about my parents pathetic love life.
I stepped into the hallway and asked around for the principal's office. Principal Jefferson walked me to my first chemistry class.
"Good day students, a new face is joining you this session and I want you to make her comfortable" Jefferson said handing me over to the teacher Rose.
Rose told me to introduce my self and i did. "Hi, I'm Ashley" I said.
I watched everyone's face but some were paying close attention to me and some were carried away. I noticed a random guy sitting at the back end corner of the lab staring at me intensively, it was as if we were drawn together. He has this golden brown eyes that shimmered when the sun's ray from outside hit them, his dark hair, sharp jawline and pointed nose contributed to his hooded siren eyes.
I was taken aback by his handsomeness(if it's a real word).
After what seemed like an hour, I heard Rose tell me to pick a seat beside anyone. I sat beside a girl that strangely had quite similar facial structure like the random guy.
Throughout chem class the good looking guy kept staring at me like I'm some goddess drop dead gorgeous. Well I know i wasn't all that pretty, I had really cool curly hair, heart shaped lips which was the combination of black and pink my round nose complimented my round face and hooded almond eye.
I'm from a biracial family so my skin was literally screaming mixed.
I got talking with the girl I sat down with and turns out her name is Olivia. She invited me over to her house for girly talk and i accepted the offer. And then we realized we're next door neighbours.
I got home 3:19pm and mum wasn't back from work.She works has a personal assistant at a huge company. So....I texted her
"Wassup mum, hud"
she replied in less than a minute
"Hey kiddo I'm cool, how was your first day at school?, I'm so sorry i couldn't make it through with you"
I knew my mum really wanted to come with me but if she did, she'd be late for work and she just got the job so....she had to give a good impression.
"It's alright mum, btw i made a new friend and i
found out she lives next door. I'll be going over to her place to hangout."
"Alright darling be safe . Love you"
And I saw the message and left her on read.
I left for Olivia's house. I stood on the door mat and rang the door bell. In less than 2 minutes the door was opened.
Initially I had expected Olivia by the door but instead it was the same gorgeous guy from chem class.
"Helloo" he said stretching the word. I didn't realize i just stood by the door staring at him star struck
"
Ehm hi, I'm looking for Olivia, she invited me over for some girls chat" I responded trying to avoid his intense gaze
"
Oh, well you'll find her upstairs first door by your left"
He replied while gesturing me in. Oh heavens I am infatuated. "I am Alexander by the way, you?"
I was quite taken aback cause why would someone like him strike a conversation with someone like me randomly.
I quickly responded "Cool, I'm Ashley but you can just call me ash". I smiled walking away from him to the stairs.
The Qin's lived in a two storey manor that was literally screaming lavish. From their interior design, it wasn't difficult to point out their wealth.
The exterior part of the house wasn't all that lavish. It was very simple. They had a mini garden in their compound and several expensive cars.
Well....their family life is literally not my business
So...back to me....
