HYPOCRISY

...

"Cordelia, I am here" shouted a girl, standing in front of the "Shanchang high school" gate. The other girl simple yet elegant with her hair reaching upto her shoulder, wearing the uniform which couldn't hide the dilapidated state of the cloth. She was dazzling even in those shabby clothes....

...She ran towards her friend named Amanda Dankworth, who was a bit cocky and more of a hoiden....

......Unlike her, Cordelia was moderate and an introvertive girl. They were childhood sweethearts. Its the first day of their high school and they were quite excited for it. But their happiness was not to last any longer. As they were walking towards the school building, Cordelia accidentally tripped over and feel down. She looked upward, only to find that she had pulled down the pants of a boy in order to grab something as a reflex to save herself from hitting the ground. Amanda hurriedly came, lifted her and started dusting off the grime on her legs. Cordelia elevated her eyes only to see his red face burning with exasperation. She quickly stepped forward to help him but he slapped her away. A huge mass gathered laughing at the embarrassing situation. The boy became furious by seeing such humiliation, lifted his pants and went inside the school building.

...

...She was as by her complexion was really worried for him and regretted at her own inattentiveness. Seeing her perplexed, Amanda gave her a hug and tried to console her. After she calmed down, they both went towards their classes and as soon as she entered, they were welcomed by other students. They both sat next to each other near the window. The time slips past with Cordelia's expanding anxiety. She was worried about him and the morning incident was still haunting her. The first half went by with her being hardly concentrating in the lessons, and now was the break time. They both were quietly eating their own food while talking at the same time....

...she was petrified to see the same boy rushing into her class. Amanda gripping her shoulder gestured her to keep quite. The girls started shouting "Senior Chris". All the students surrounded him....

...

It was clear that he is a popular fella known for his money and face. But outer appearance is not everything, inner beauty is what earns you respect from others. He was ugly and hollow from inside. Everyone feared him. The boy with some other fellow students came towards them and sat in the neighbouring benches, in circular form, blocking their path of departure.......

...Cordelia was horrified, scared to the point she couldn't even speak. All the eyes fixed on them, staring with intense gaze....

...Amanda raised her voice, cutting off the pressure build up and asked "can't you see we are eating, or are you blind, I know a good ophthalmologist. If you want I can book an appointed for you." Another boy standing beside him shouted "who the hell are you girl, how dare you talk like that with Christopher Fernsby, the son of Jim Fernsby, the president of Xiongwei group." before preceding to hit her. He was stopped by a hand pulling him back and then slapped him hard. He clenched his teeth in pain and anger. It was Christopher. He stepped forward and bowed in front of Cordelia only to apologize for his friend's behavior. she was totally taken aback as he slowly shifted his eyes towards her notebooks and spoke out, "Cordelia MacQuoid, nice name, can I call you Lia" she hurriedly said "yes yes sure, and no need to apologize, it was my mistake anyways. I should be the one to apologize" He stopped her in the mid way and exclaimed "such a nice girl ! miss will you be my friend" he asked. She said "of course why not" Everyone in the room was dumbfounded to see Christopher's unusual abnormal behavior. He was a spoiled kid, usually acted arrogantly and was rude to everyone. But because of his status, neither the students nor the teachers could scold or misbehave with him. As a impudent rich kid he wasn't immature in the womanizing skills and often went to clubs and spend his money on sluts. Most of his friends were guttersnipes....

...His sudden change couldn't hide the conspiracy he was plotting while putting up a fake mask. As the saying goes "don't trust everything you see, even salt looks like sugar" , there was something odd which was quickly observed by Amanda as a proof of her quick witted character but Cordelia's lenient nature couldn't sense the approaching darkness....
