Chapter one
Sitting down on the sofa, I couldn't help but remember the good times I used to spend with him.he was the only one who broke through my barriers and made me love. he was my first love .as I recalled the last time we met each other ,tears began rolling down my cheek. I recalled vividly the way he pulled me in for a hug and later planted a kiss on my lips. At first, I couldn't feel his absence, but later, about a week or so, I couldn't sleep without him being in my dreams. I even hillucinated seeing an image of him in my room. Now, high school is over, and I have to face reality. "Or so my aunt says."And a few weeks from now, I will be attending college. Even if I'm against it, my aunt would force me either way.
Hi, my name is Luna Gracia lorenza, and I'm from Mexico.
According to my aunt, the school is a prestigious academy for girls,but what I fail to understand is why the college's named "KING'S ACADEMY." In away, it sounds a bit weird. I instantly stood up from the sofa in my room and headed for the bathroom. After bathing, I stood in front of the mirror to admire my dark brown skin, which made me one of Africans' true beauty.I had blue eyes, like that of the moon, which complimented my taunt legs. Even without my requirement as a woman, which hadn't developed much, I was perfect. If i say so, myself .
OH! well, that was all in the past, right?so I hurriedly got out of the bathroom and went to my closet and brought out a blue baggy Jean trouser and a big black polo. I didn't have much time to do my hair,so i left it in curls .which made me more beautiful than when I did braids .I didn't wear any makeup cause that wasn't my style.
Speaking of makeup, I don't even have any talk more about wearing one. I went down the stairs slowly. Coming downstairs, i saw my aunt in the kitchen, and she didn't look much happy. About 3 minutes after my arrival, my cousin, whose focus was on the TV, seemed to have noticed my presence and turned around.
"Morning sis".he greeted politely.
"Morning Kim."I replied. I headed for the dining table to help myself with some breakfast.
Kim is a year younger than me. He is fair skinned and blonde, unlike me, who was dark. No offense,we dark Americans look great.Kim is in his final year in high school, although he acts too mature for his class. Kim had always teased me since we were little, and I so hated him for that.
"Kim,"I called out, "aren't you going to school today? I asked.
"Well......................,no.am not. I have decided to take a break. " Almost in a whisper. Unknown to us both, aunt had been eavesdropping on our conversation,and she scared the he'll out of us by saying
"I knew something was off,"she said, turning to face Kim
"Moooooooooooooom. I chose not to go to school cause----------------,"before Kim could finish his statement, aunt interrupted him with a knock on his head.
"Owwwwwwwwww," he groaned in pain, without further wasting of my time, I took my package lunch and made a run.
"I hate you, Luna.I heard my cousin yell as I shut the door behind me. Instantly, I board a cab straight to the registration center.
It took me about 2 and a half hours to get to the school.the school was beautiful and big, and it had all sorts of rose bushes .for a school that was meant for girls, I sure was surprised to see lots of guys hanging around. I didn't want to waste time. Cause I knew the saying "time is money ".and me standing here was making me low on cash. I had only up to an hour before my shift began in the coffee shop. I worked part-time. It didn't take long before it got to my turn. I was about to make my way into the office before someone addressed me by saying.
"Will you please step aside, handsome ?" I turned around my age or about two years older.
"Did you just call me handsome?"i asked, surprised .
"Yeah, baby, now will you be as kind as to scooth?"she asked
This was indeed surprising. Was i just addressed as a boy, and why was she looking at me seductively? I asked within me. I couldn't do anything but stare at her ,as though I was dumb struck.
"The guy is a complete lunatic ", jenna" another voice uttered, bringing me back to earth. before I could recollect my thoughts, the girl addressed as Jenna walked past me and gave me a look, which I could tell was the same as the first time.
"I could see the guy staring at your curves."I heard the other girl say as they walked past .
"As if," I thought.
Wasn't she the one staring at me as though a God fell from the heaven? I asked inwardly. Casting my eyes off their path.
