CHAPTER ONE.
I've parked all the necessary things you'll need, I've even parked all my special recipe for you and the instructions" Nana informed, hiding her tears from me.
" Nana, I'll stay back if you want me to" I said. Since the death of my elder brother, Travis, I've been the only hope for these two kind people who took my brother and I from the street when I was still a baby and raised us as their grandchildren. The sudden death of my brother still holds a big hole in our hearts, especially mine.
" You've missed two semesters already. Travis won't want us holding you back anymore" Papa said and he was right. Since the death of Travis, I haven't paid any attention to school yet.
Nana eyes were already sucked with tears. She sniffed. " Oh! Silly me. I've become old that I'm suddenly too emotional" Nana wiped her tears as I laugh, my eyes getting all wet.
" We put our faith in you, xavia" Papa said giving me that look he always give whenever he's about giving a speech. " You're from a simple but humble background, don't forget that. The school you'll be attending is huge and famous, filled with rich kids and you...you might feel intimidated but...
" I know papa. I'll never let you both down" I said and they both nodded. Besides, I have this strange phobia whenever I'm close to rich kids, especially the spoilt ones.
" We know you'll never let us down. Stay that way until you've graduated from high school, okay?" Nana advised and I nodded, really grateful for the amazing abuelos God had given me.
" I understand very well. No need to explain" I saw how happy and relax they felt.
" I heard master Raymond's daughter would also be attending the school, I hope you two can become friends" Nana said trying to park my not too long hair.
" Nana, you know how much she hates me" I complained with a scrowl as nana scoffed.
" Nonsense, that's her way of playing nice" Nana said as I barely held back myself from rolling my eyes.
" Hey, bitch..." Eurora, my crazy ass bestie, stormed into my room speaking foul language without realizing my abuelos presence in my room. " Oh! Mr and Mrs armon, I... I didn't know you're here".
" How would you know?" Nana asked rudely.
" Nana" I called but she snapped.
" Don't nana me! I don't appreciate your friendship with this uncultured girl" Nana is all about religious stuffs and yeah, she has never been in favor about my friendship with eurora.
Eurora has actually been the first rich kid who doesn't stirr up my phobia. She's nice and sweet even though at times, She's crazy and wild. Did I mention she's from royalty? She's a princess of... I always forget the name of her royal kingdom.
Funny how she hates being called a princess. And the sweetest fact is that rora and I get to attend the same school, probably become roommates.
" Nana, eurora is a sweet and cultured girl" I spoke in praises and defense of my friend.
" Well, I'm actually uncultured" Eurora whispered to me and I swear, I felt like spanking her like a five year old kid.
" Don't defend her. Look, she's barely covered" Nana fired.
I took a good look at my friend's dressing and yeah, she was barely covered. She was wearing a crop tank top with no bra that display her standing nipples, her shirt was exposing her pierced novel, short mini skirt that barely hide her tighs, pierced nose and five hole piercing on each of her ears with the tip of her hair dyed.
Nana hates dye more than anything.
" Can you stop complaining and discriminating the poor child" Papa came to the rescue as nana frowns.
" You're even supporting her?" Nana asked with a look that shows her shock state.
" Thanks dear for helping to pick her up, you're an angel" Papa was speaking to eurora. He doesn't have a problem between eurora and I friendship, he seem to like eurora and I appreciate him for that. " It's getting late, we shouldn't keep the kids for too long, sarah".
" You're right. Get your luggage to the bag, armour" Nana told me, I nodded, taking my luggage.
" Here, tacos for the road" Considerate papa smiled at us, handing the package tacos to eurora who collected it with a rush. She might always have problems with nana but, she never rejects her meal, especially the tacos.
" Thanks, Mr armon" Eurora appreciated, taking one for herself already.
" Don't finish it all, remain some for the road" Nana snapped.
" Okay, Mrs armon" Eurora joked as nana rolled her eyes.
I hugged my grandparents one last time before embarking on my journey. Eurora, has already left to the waiting car that'll escort us to the airport.
" Before I forget, try taking spanish classes so you'll improve in it" Nana reminded and I nodded. " Bye, armour".
" Bye" I said before leaving for the waiting car where eurora was already seated.
" Your nana looks at me as if I'm sin itself" Eurora told me as I settled inside the car.
" Well, she actually do look at you like Lucifer" I joked and she gave me a sarcastic look.
" Ah! Ah! not funny, xavia" She frowns. " I think your nana hate me more than Lucifer himself" Eurora said as I laughed, taking a tacos from the package box. Eurora took out one too.
" But her tacos are definitely heaven on Earth" Eurora complimented taking another huge bite.
" I can't believe I'll be going to Dalton highschool and in New York at that. I've always been stucked in this little village but now, I'll get to see what city life feels like" I poured out my whole heart at my friend who just gave me an irritated look.
" Chill, girlfriend. You don't have to get all excited, it's just a school" Like always, she seem less interested.
" Yeah! A huge school in New York City. Of all places, rora, my dream city!" I couldn't be more excited.
" It's just newyork and nothing that excited" Eurora replied, her full focus on her phone. I snorted angrily.
" You're no fun once it comes to school activities, if you're not so excited about going, why wasting your dad's money?" I asked as she sigh heavily.
" That old man has all the money and as the only child, isn't my duty to spend it as it pleases me to? She replied, giving me a sweet smile. I scoffed, taking views outside my window glass.

AT THE AIRPORT.
We arrived at the airport and to my out most surprise, it was filled with hundreds of rich and famous kids, coming down from their expensive cars like Lamborghini, limousine, new model Ferrari and the lists goes on.
" Good gracious!" I exclaimed when I saw the governor's daughter heading to the plane with her bodyguards following behind, holding her luggages.
" What's with the exclamation?" Eurora asked, getting out of the car while her personal royal bodyguard, Marcos, brought out our luggage.
" I just saw elisabeth, the governor's daughter" I squared happily. Eurora rolled her eyes putting a gun in her mouth.
" There's nothing special about Lizzy, she's a governor's daughter and I'm a fucking princess" I know eurora felt a bit jealous.
" Are you jealous?" I asked making a little fun with her.
" Jealous? You wish!" She scoffed. I smiled as two huge hands circled her waist.
" Hey, baba!" Eurora's boyfriend, Liam said, placing a soft kiss on her neck as eurora giggled like a little baby.
" What they hell is the governor's son doing here?" Eurora jokingly asked, facing him with her hands around his neck.
Liam, who was also the governor's son and elisabeth's brother also smiled slyly before pulling eurora close. " Maybe, because he misses his hot cake girlfriend" He replied and I unconsciously rolled my eyes which wasn't my intention. I've never approved of rora relationship with this scumbag of a president son, but I kept quiet even though he tried once to sweet-talk me. He's an absolute pervert.
" I hope you too won't start devouring each other" I said lazily and eurora smiled before pulling away a bit.
" If you don't like it then, go fix yourself somewhere else" He said and I only just gave a hard smile. He turned to eurora. " Babe, let's go" I narrowed my gaze when I saw him taking his hand from her waist to her arse.
" C'mon xav" Rora called, giving me her hand to grab but Liam pulled her close and walked ahead with her.
" Liam!" She complained, playfully hitting him on his chest. " She's my friend".
" And , I'm your boyfriend" I rolled my eyes at how good he was with pretense. He should be an actor.
" Sorry, miss. This is a limited plane, do you mind going to the next one over there?" The young plane hostess said to me with a sorry smile.
I smiled back. " No probs, I understand" I said, about returning back to the other plane when eurora held me back. " Rora?"
" You're going nowhere, xav. C'mon" She said, trying to urge me to follow her.
" But,miss...
" Shut up!" Eurora yelled at the lady. She's paranoid already. " Let's go, xav"
" Babe, you heard what the lady said. Stop being a drama queen and let her go, she won't die anytime soon!" Liam snapped at eurora. She looked surprise same time amazed.
" What're you trying to say, I'm being dramatic?" Eurora asked with a scoffed. " She's my..."
" Eurora, just let it be. I'm fine, I'll be okay. Besides, what's the difference?" I shrug , about leaving but eurora held me back.
" You don't have to if you don't want to" She urged, wanting me to stay at all cost.
I looked at the jerk coldly before flashing a tight smile at her. " See you at the other side".
I turned around, following a huge guy in black suit as he direct me to my designated plane.
I'm not mad at eurora or the hostess, I'm mad.... infact, angry with that son of a prick who calls himself, Liam Hemsworth.
" Hi!" I turned my gaze to the mulatto sitting next to me.
" Hey!" I returned back her greeting with a smile.
" I... I'm shila by the way, it's nice to meet you" She smiled at me which brought out even more of her beauty. " You are?".
" Oh!, I'm xavia. It's nice meeting you, shila by the way" I teased as she chuckled awkwardly.
" Sorry, I always do that. I'm... just shila, no by the way" She replied with a naive tone. " So, first time going to New York?" She asked me. I nodded immediately.
" Is it also the first time you'll be attending dalton high school?" She asked again, this time more curiously.
" Yes. I wasn't able to attend the first two semesters because of some issue at home" I answered. She kept that understandable expression on her face.
"Oh, I see. Don't worry, I think we'll be friends" She said, adjusting her glasses.
" I think we really would be" I smiled at her, before staring at the window. " I think I'll have the best time in dalton".
★★★★
After spending hour upon hours in the plane, we finally reached our location.
Shila and I both boarded out of the plane together with other students. " There's my drive" Shila said, pointing towards a black mercedes benz.
Honestly, I was speechless.
" How.... you...are not....
" I come from a rich family but...they can be a little too much, especially my dad" She explained while I just nodded since I can't still find my voice. " You coming?"
" Uhm, thanks but, I'm waiting for my psyco friend. She'll kill me if I leave without her" I explained as she nodded in understanding.
" I'll be going then" She said, walking over to her waiting car. " Bye. I hope we meet again" She entered the car which zoomed off almost immediately.
I smiled as I watch how students leave to their respective dorms. I waited like forever for eurora and that was when I saw her approaching me furiously with Liam chasing after her.
" What's wrong with you?" I heard Liam asking as he held onto her arm.
" Liam, let go before I make you hate me completely!" Eurora threatened, anger surging from her tone.
" Girl, what's your problem. I said I'm sorry and it was a mistake, how's it my fault?" Liam looked pleady.
Uh.... What They Fuck Is Going On Here?.
" Your fault? Are you really asking me that fucking question?" Eurora let out a deep breath. " So then, it's my fault that I caught you romancing the arse and boobs of eliza?, Like, really dude!"
Wow! So that fucking asshole doesn't know how to control his lustful urges. Well, this is what I call dire moment for Liam Hemsworth.
" Babe...
" Don't fucking deny it, Liam. I saw how you stare at her and how she stares at you!" Eurora cut him short, freeing her arm from his grip.
" Fine. I won't deny anything, can we just talk and settle things up like mature teenagers. You know I love you" Liam said trying to kiss eurora but, my crazy friend gave him a low blow on his groin as he screamed out in pain.
" Go love your self and that fucking chick!" Eurora yelled. " It's over!".
" You can as well go love that middle class, poor wreched friend of yours, you psychopath. I don't even love you, I've never loved you and yeah, it's over between us!" That fucking asshole just crossed the line. " I don't want anything to do with a spoilt, foolish and..." I didn't give him the chance to complete his statement before landing a heavy punch on his face.
" Keep your insults to your useless being. Let's go, rora" I grab her wrist as I took her to our waiting ride.
I stare at eurora's burning and furious face, her eyes red and lips trembling as if she's about to break down.
" Enough with the cold silent treatment and start spilling the beans!" I have to say since I've had enough with the miserable side of my always joyful friend. " Talk to me, rora" I said, softing my tone.
" I caught Liam cheating on me with Eliza. That...that fucking asshole!" She cursed. " To think that he loves me too" She tried restraining the tears about to fall off.
"Wait, Eliza! Like the same eliza who is Mr Raymond's daughter?" I asked. " Well, I'm not shocked. I've always had my doubts on her. See rora, you don't deserve a cheating asshole like Liam, you're better off without him" I wiped off the tears that fell from her eyes.
" He's such an asshole, I wonder how I fell in love with him in the first place" She cried while I just laughed.
She tried restraining hers but end up laughing along with me. " I hate you, but what would I do without you?" She asked emotionally.
I sighted, having no answer for her question. " I dunno" I said as the car pulled to a halt.
" Are we there yet?" I asked eagerly staring outside my window.
" No. Looks like traffic" Eurora replied just when I saw the traffic light.
" Ugh, great!" I wailed and just like a dream. A red sport car drove passed us with the speed of lightening, discarding the rules of the traffic light. " Who they hell is that?"
" Wow! That must be the car of Nazel!" Eurora screamed like how a crazy fan girls would.
" Who they fuck is Nazel?" I asked, seeming less interested in this dude who's crazy enough to break a rule.
" Are you kidding me?" Eurora asked, dumfoundedly. " He's....."
" Not interested" I cut her off. " I just want to have a good time in school until I've graduated" I told her as she groaned aggressively.
" You're no fun. Wonder how we became best of friends" Eurora complained through pouted lip. I just laughed and shrug off her words.
Nazel?
I don't know it's owner yet but I'm certain he's no good.
