The bustling night life slowly fade away giving birth to a new day. With a new day born, many people start with a new life, while others continue with their old and boring life.
In a quiet estate, the atmosphere was calm, quiet and peaceful, when suddenly the door of a house slammed with a loud thud and a figure rushed out of the house like a person being chased by a mad dog, without caring to lock the door. The figure was a young and innocent looking girl. She was wearing a navy blue skirt that was slightly above her knee, with white shirt of which a school badge was on the left side of the a pocket was on the right. She wore a pair of white sneakers and socks. Her long black hair was packed in a high pony tail and as she ran, the strong wind blew her hair reviling a cute and delicate face.
She soon ran through the gates of the estate and she finally stoped in front of a coffee shop. She crashed on the bench there catching her breath. After a while, she walked into the coffee shop and stood infront of the counter and ordered her chocolate coffee. She left the coffee shop as soon as her order was given to her. Then she took her head phones from her bag pack, connected it to her phone, put it over her head and Maroon 5 Sugar started playing and she hummed it as she sip her coffee while walking to school.
*************
In the Principle's office of a school called The Royal Master High, stood a woman dressed in a black pencil skirt and blue shirt, whose brown hair was packed in a bun, was on the phone with someone with her facing the humongous window. " oh, a girl with black hair and green eyes?.......very pretty..... average height.... mmm... okay, got it. Don't worry I've got it" she said with a thick Italian accent. "Yes, yes, okay...bye" she hung up the phone and sighed . Her brown eyes looked through the window as she gazed at the students, who were dressed in a white shirt and navy blue skirt with blue sneakers and socks, around the school. Then she spotted a figure in front of the school gate, licking up her phone, she dialed a number and after a few rings the person answer " Help me fetch a new student from the gate with green eyes and black hair. Her name is Lily Cypher, show her around and don't bring her into my office ".
After saying a few more words she hung up and sighed again " I wonder what a beautiful girl like this did to have so much hate " she murmured to herself.
*************
The girl, with her headphone still on, stood i front of her new school " Royal Masters High " she wishpered the name hung on top of the school. Adverting her gave from the school name, she looked at the school surroundings and saw many students hanging around the school gate. She could fell some of them eyes on her and she felt a little bit nervous.
Closing her eyes, she took a very deep breath, comforting herself " its your first day of school, make a good impression but not too good, don't talk to anyone, mind your business , don't act too smart or too dumb, don't act too pretty or too rich, and you will be fine " she said to herself. She opened her eyes and realized that most of the students have gone inside the school because of the ranged bell, so she quickly got inside and was stunned by the beauty of the school that she paused to admire it.
" Hi, are you Miss Lily Cypher?? " the girl heard someone behind her asked. She turn around to she a woman with red hair and blue eyes who was wearing a long black gown." Yes, I am. May I know why you asked ?" the girl who claimed to be Lily Cypher asked the woman in a polite tone. The woman smiled and extended her arm for a handshake of which Lily shook" Hi, I am Mrs. Dorothy Willows. The Principle asked me to show you around please come with me "
***
Mrs Dorothy showed Lily around the school and after the tour she took Lily to her class and left. Lily got into the class and the teacher introduced him self as Mr Seth and he asked Lily to introduce herself and after the introduction , he showed her to her seat and continued with his class.
After the class was over and Mr Seth left, half of the class rushed to her seat asking her many question at once
"Are you the girl from the gate?????
OMG, you are sooooo pretty
Are you a teen model
Do you just walked out of a anime movie ???
Your eyes are so big, did you get any plastic surgery????
Hi, my name is Zack, do you want to bw my girlfriend???
Hi can I be your friend????
Hi can I be your best friend??????? ".
All the students were talking at the same time, not giving Lily any space tp talk. Some were even touching her hair asking her if she add any extension.
" Guys, that's enough, don't scare the new girl away" One of the students said in a loud voice, enough for the rest of the students to hear. When the students around Lily heard what the other one said, they felt embarrassed and they quickly left Lily's table.
The owner of the voice came closer to Lily and a girl with short black hair with bangs infront of her head extended her hand introducing her self
"Hi,I'm Lisa, don't be bothered by them, they are just a little stunned by your beauty.... " the girl said and continued leaning forward as if trying to tell a very big secret " beautiful girls
like you and me should understand this" she winked. Lily just smiled at Lisa and started packing her books.
Lily is a type of a person who always enjoy her own company. She never had a friend or friends and if she did ,they never last for a week. They only became her friend just for her to do their homework for them or help them with a thing or two. No body ever liked her even though she is beautiful . So when she saw how Lisa is trying to start a conversation, she just ignore her. Its better she ignore her from the start before its get too late.
' Ring '
The school bell rang notifying the students that it is lunch time. Lily walked out of the classroom with Lisa, whose arm was hooked around Lily's. Lily have been ignoring Lisa for the past two class but Lisa still didn't notice and just kept on talking and talking. Even though its just her first day of school, Lily was already tired because of Lisa. she stuck on her like a leech not giving her any breathing space. Lily has never ever encounter some one as annoying as Lisa before and she was soo pissed off.
Lisa on the other hand didn't know and just though Lily was a shy type of girl so she kept on talking to her. " Hey since it your first day of school, leg me give you a tour " Lisa suggested as they walked through the hallway with students pausing to looked at the new girl Lisa's with.
" Mrs Dorothy already gave me a tour " Lily replied to Lisa with a robotic tone. "Nonsense, Mrs Dorothy just brief the tour, I on the other hand will show you every conner of this school "
" Um..... I still have classes to attend after lunch, I might not be able to make it if you give me a tour ".Lily tried to decline. She really didn't want any friends right now, she just wants to be alone but this Lisa girl wouldn't live her alone.
" oh, don't worry about classes we always have two free periods on mondays and beside my tour would be like Mrs Dorothy's boring tour, it will be fun....... come on ".Lisa didn't wait for Lily to reply and just drag her.
As they left the some of the students of were watching them left, while others still hang around chatting about Lily and Lisa.
" Look at Lisa, she didn't even let us talk to the new pretty girl in class today...... she soo annoying " One of the student, who introduced himself as Zack earlier and was in he hallway, said to one of his friend, Freddy, with an irritated tone.
" Yeah, I can't believe her, behaving as if the pretty girl is her long lost best friend " Freddy said.
"Like, sometimes I just want to punch her on that pretty face of her's "
" Huh, same here "
" The she tells us not to scare the pretty girl away, she's the one scaring her away ". As two students were talking, two chubby girls, from the same class, couldn't help but interrupt the boys.
" Even if Lisa didn't steal the new girl away, do you, Zack, think that if you were to ask her out, she would agree * scoffs * you are so lame " one of the girls said.
When the boys heard what the girls said, they were immediately annoyed " Oh shut up, not everybody is like you who always get rejected by their crush, fatso "
"Who are you calling a fatso, I'm not fat.I'm chubby. CHUBBY!!!!!!!!!!!!! " the girl emphasized on the ' chubby ' word.
"Mm.....really? I didn't know you were chubby fatso, my bad😊" Hearing Zack still calling her a fatso made the girl more annoyed.
" Stop calling me a fatso "
"Okay fatso, I will stop calling you a fatso......
fatso, fatso, fatso, fatso, fatso.. hahahaha"
" You.. I'm going to kill you " . the chubby girl lunched forward to attack Zack, but he was smart enough to predict the girl's move, he dodge and quickly took to his heels.
***********
When Lisa said she was going to show Lily every conner of the school, she was not kidding. Lisa showed her single toilets - of both genders - the different cafeteria, the different sports rooms or extra activities rooms, the many detention room, the school beautiful gardens, the roof tops, the locker rooms, the football fields, the room where the cheerleaders practices and so on.
Lisa was finally done giving Lily a tour and they both rested under a big apple tree beside the football stadium. Lisa still kept on talking as they rested
" Do you know me and my boyfriend, Kyle, have been dating for two years?
Do you know that this school was actually a town before???
Do you know Mrs Dorothy Willows
Grandfather was the one that build this
school???
" oh, oh, oh let me tell you seniors you should be wary about . Number 1: the L4 "
" L4?? " Lily asked as she mulch on a sneakers chocolate. Even though Lily still find Lisa annoying, she still wanted to know more about the school and besides she was curious about these L4 people.
" Yeah, it stands for Leon, Liam, Lionel and Louis.They name them selves that cuz they are four and their names start with the letter 'L', they are the sons of the GRAM. "
"Who are the GRAM???? "
" The GRAM are the most famous business men all over the country. GRAM is the name of the company the four men, Grayson William, Robinson Adams, Alan Walker, and Marshal Winters built to secure the friendship of the four families. GW is the name of Mr William company and its majorly manufacture natural resources like Coal, Limestone, Crude oil and so on, into finished goods. He is also British. RA is the name of Mr Adams company and it is based on technology. Is an American but married a French woman. AW is the name of Mr Walker company and it is based on the agricultural side. He is also from America, while MW is the name of Mr Winters company and it is based on the entertainment circle. Ho is an African-American. Rumor has it that they are also huge Mafia bosses. "
" Is that why you asked me to be wary of the L4?.... cuz they have rich parents" Lily asked.
" No ,its not because of that, it because of Mandy, number two on the list. Mandy and the L4 grew up together. She is Mrs Winters cousin. She has always had a crush on one of the L4 ,Leon Grayson, who treated her like his little sister. As at that time, he was dating on of the school belle Candy, who was from a humble home. When Mandy found out about them dating, she was overwhelmed with jealousy and she ' accidentally poured acid on the girl's face. Because Candy was from a humble home, nothing happened and Mandy got away with it. "
"Really?? " Lily asked in awe. " Yes, scary right???? ".
" Did Leon do anything about it? "
" No, He didn't do anything about it. I don't think he knows about what happened ".
' Ring '
They heard the school bell ring from distance, notifying the students about the begining of the next class. Lisa and Lily stood up and they both got to thier various classes.
*******
The final bell rang and all the students of Royal Masters High bided themselves goodbye going their separate ways and that includes Lisa and Lily.
" Here is my phone number, call me when you get home..... I still have a lot to tell you " Lisa reminded Lily as they parted.
Many children and adults usually have people or a person to welcome them when they are back from school or work. Is either their wife, to welcome them, or children. Some don't have people but have pet. Lily on the other doesn't have any. No pets nor people. Just her and herself alone.
As she walked through the gates of the estate, a certain heaviness filled her heart as she saw many families hugging each other. Some having a picnic, some playing with their neighbours kids and theirs, some playing with their friends in the park, while some just taking a stroll and enjoying the beautiful view. Once in a while, the kids will wave to her smiling innocently without a care in the world. Even through she wanted to wave and smile back at them, she didn't. She was scared of what a particular someone will do to those beautiful, free minded, innocent children just because they were nice to her. And besides she does not want to disturb the happy families there with her presence, so she quickly walked to her house and got inside the house before anyone try to make any small talk with her.
As expected there was no parent or siblings to welcome her. She was all alone in the house. Not even a pet. She sighed and drop her bag pack on the floor and it made a light thud, she lind on the door sighing again.
After a while, she brought her phone out of her skirt pocket and blacklisted Lisa's phone number. It's not that she doesn't like Lisa or she did not want to make any friends, it is just that what will become of the person if she did?. Or does Lisa really like her or she is just monitoring her on behalf of someone.
After she blacklisted Lisa's phone number she went upstairs to her room, she took her bath, dressed up, ordered food, ate them and took a nap for about two hours. Then she woke up, did her homework while listening to Me, Myself, and I by Bebe Rexha and G - Eazy, while mulching on a bar of chocolate snickers. After she was done, she rolled out of bed, walked towards her wardrobe, opened it, took out a big black knee length hoodie, a blonde wig and a make up kit. A minute passed and she completely transformed herself into a TikTok star, she fixed her phone on the ring light and started doing some Tik Tok videos. With the makeup and blonde wig, nobody could recognise her. After some more dance, she posted it within few minutes, it already had a hundred likes and sixty six comments. Many people wrote in the comments on how beautiful she is and how perfect her skin was, wishing to have a look like hers.
Out of all the things in her life right now, the only thing that makes her happy is Tik Tok. She loved the way people admire her and telling her how she danced so perfectly, and how flexible her body was.
After she checked the comments, she logged out of her first account and logged into another where she made the camera zoomed on only her lips.She videoed her self eating frozen snickers chocolate.
About thirty minute after, she took a shower changed back to her normal self, cooked dinner, ate and went to ned while listening to Maroon 5 Memories
Here's to the one that we got
Cheers to the wish you are here but you are not
Cause a drink brings back all the memories of everything we've been through
Toast to the ones here today
Toast to the ones that we lost on the way
Cause a drink bring back all the memories and the memories bring back memories bring back you.
********************
The next morning, Lily woke up early, got dressed in her yellow shirt ( because on Monday is white, Tuesday is yellow, while Wednesday is pink), navy blue skirt, with the sneakers and socks.
She cooked her breakfast, aye and head out to the coffee shop for her early morning chocolate coffee, while eating a snickers chocolate bar and listening to Sam Smith Fire on Fire.
She got into the coffee shop, got her coffee while saying goodbye to the person behind the counter not realizing that someone was infront of her, she bumped in the someone.
" I'm sorry, didn't see you there "she apologized to the person not eben looking up to see the person. " Well it not your fault you didn't see me, you're just too short " she heard a voice say, looking up, she was stunned to see a tall handsome guy infront of her . He had jet black hair, blue eyes, thin pink lips, sharp nose and jaw. As handsome as the guy was the words that came put of his mouth weren't handsome
" Excuse me I'm not too short to see you, its you who is too tall to see me"Lily defended herself. The guy didn't answer her and just chuckle and left.
" So annoying " she murmured to herself as she she left the shop and left for school.
When Lily got to school, she saw Lisa standing in front of the school gate with a few other girls from her class. They looked like they were waiting for someone, she didn't pay any attention to them and was about to walk through the gates when a hand from no where yanked her back making her almost loose her balance. " There you are I've been waiting for you all morning "she heard Lisa's annoying high pitch voice Forcing a smile on her lips, she turned to find Lisa, standing with the rest of her classmate.
" Sorry didn't see you there" she lied.
" Oh, don't worry" Lisa waved her hands in the air as she talked, while she draged Lily into the school. Lily didn't bother to look at the other people behind Lisa and just drag her feet as she and the rest walked to class. Taking off her headphones, she grunt annoyingly but not enough for Lisa and the rest to hear her as she listen to Lisa non stop rants.
