Chapter 1
Pov: jasmine
First day of junior year, yay exciting. Nope it’s just another year of act, fear of the past, shadows to hide behind again and again.
Lisa, my maid, woke me up. While I got a shower, my bed was made, my outfit was ready, and my breakfast was done. I did my makeup ate and started walking to school. Having a maid, my own room, a villa but walking to school, waiting for the bus.
A 2025 BMW stopped in front of me and lowered the window. “ Hey baby sis, want a ride, you know if you got over your fear of people knowing, your life would start to be fun. Entering with me, a lodge would give you a great shot of a normal year” James, my brother, who only cares about parties and hot chicks. “shut up, James, and leave before they see you …come on go” he grunted at me” You know, people kill for this type of LIFESTYLE” I lowered my head to face him directly. “well I was almost killed having this ‘lifestyle’ “ he just looked me in the eyes, trying not to get soft. “I guess what doesn’t kill us makes us stronger sister”. I saw his car fade away as the bus got closer. All the way to school, I kept thinking, Am I never going to get over it, my past, what if I just don’t want this life. crazy how people wish for things I hide from. Who cares? There are still two years left, and I can get out of this stupid town, country all of it. I am thankful for all the things my dad did for me but I can’t just remove all the horrible stuff that happened to me, a lodge has a lot to give for this society and I am not ready for this not now maybe never.
I bus stopped In front of the school, I could see James getting out of his car and all those ‘friends’ coming to him, but let’s be honest not one of them would look his way if he didn’t have all this money, or if he doesn’t pay the bills or take photos with them.
“Alex buddy, how are we doing today” my brother shouted while patting Alex on the back. I hate to be admitted, but Alex is the only guy that really cares for my brother even Tho I don’t know what he sees in him, really. the cheer girlies ran to the golden boys, J, I wonder why they are friend, captain of the football team and his co captain, what a duo. Basically, they are the same. You might think they are twins.
A tall red-headed girl came my way, the kind of beauty that makes every guy look even girls. Keyla, my best friend, my only friend, really.
“hey secret rich girl” she whispered as I hit her on her mouth to shut up. She knows. I told her after we became really close, her my brother just them. Keyla and James hate each other in every possible way.
We went to class, my first hour English. In this class, I was alone. Keyla had bio , and we begged the principle Even dad offered to pay him, but he did not let us have the same classes.
Mr. Miller, our teacher, asked us about the future, our dreams, and hopes. One by one, the class started answering intel. This one voice from behind said” well sir for me, there are no dreams, just obligations” it was ALEX COLLEN, Mr. perfect.
Everyone started laughing, thinking it was a joke, but I knew it wasn’t we live in the same world, even if I’m not included in it, I know about it. I felt his pain, “I’m sorry” I whispered which I think he heard and took offendedly by the way he talked to me “and you…” he posed looking at my butterfly headband than continued “butterfly, what are your dreams”
“first don’t mock my headband second. I don’t have dreams. I have plans, fashion school that’s the plan” By the look on his face I don’t think he saw that coming.
“I didn’t see that coming to be honest. I thought you would go small like, baker maybe”
I looked him dead in the eye “annoyed or maybe jealous, that I can pick my dream and not just obey” I instantly regretted it my words but it was late he had took his backpack and left the classroom.
He was the one who attacked me first.
