Monalisa's Heart

Monalisa gets down from a cab as the Uber man helps to bring down her luggages. She stood in front of a gigantic black gate with a bold write up at the entrance "WELCOME TO DIAMOND COLLEGE" Then in small letter "Money, Banking, and Finance Institution"

Her heart raced when she set her eyes on wealthy students, boys and girls coming out in a flashy cars, dressed in attractive and expensive attires, and a beautiful fragrance that's coming out from their body, they walk majestically passing her as she stood there, steering at them like a lost puppy.

"Well, I'm here to study not to find love or find a man" she hissed. "firstly, love is a scam because tell me why daddy have to leave mummy to suffer. Secondly, what will these rich boys want to do with an orphan girl who was adopted in a poor home" she was lots in thought.

"Monalisa aaa!!" That was coming from a girl with blonde black hair and pretty round face, standing 2 kilometer away from Monalisa, you can see her whole white 32 teeth shining so bright as she waves her hand in the sky.

The name echoed like a drum of music in Monalisa ears. She turns right to see who is behind the voice. "Valerie eee!!" She screamed and run like someone who was after a life fortune towards Valerie.

They embraced each other tightly. "What's it hard for you to locate, I mean our school" Valerie said lifting up one of Monalisa bag.

"Yes, it was. From my place to hear really coursed me a fortune."

Smiles " well, welcome to the almighty Diamond school my bestie. Look this is Diamond College, so be ready to meet all kinds of spoiled brats troubles that may come your way. Is a school mostly for the wealthy citizens."

Monalisa feels an ice in her chest " noted but I already know, I mean I have always dreamed of attending this school but the fees is huge. My poor mummy can't afford it but thank God for your daddy firm that gave me scholarship" Tears full Monalisa eyes.

Valerie wipes those tears from her "Please stop it, not now. You are very intelligent that's why and hey don't you know we are sisters now huh?." Monalisa nods her head.

They walk towards a hostel with a bold write up on the wall "SPARKLING HOSTEL."

"Look, Monalisa I have already secured a room for us". Monalisa look at Valerie and give her a warm smile. " so does that means we are going to be roommates?" " yes Bestie" Valerie replied and they burst in laughter.

They was climbing to their own floor and a very classy beautiful white girl with a golden long hair, and her three friends; Clara, Elena, and Joy walk across Monalisa who was behind Valarie.

The white girl intentionally splash her cup of coffee on Monalisa. " what the hell! Are you blind, do you know how much one cup of this coffee worth" she drag Monalisa back.

"Sara, I'm sure she doesn't know how much it worth. Have she even see this kind of coffee in her miserable life" Elena said smiling arrogantly.

Valarie, who doesn't know what was happening behind her, "Monalisa, I promise you this is the best hostel in this campus" She noticed she didn't get a reply then she turns back smiling " girl! Are you even listening to me?".

That's when she knew what is happening and run to Monalisa. "What's happening here, and you" she point at Joy " why are you dragging her in such a horrible manner" Valerie snatched Monalisa from them.

"Valerie, please stay out of this" Sara move towards Monalisa but Valerie block her " now, listen up girls. You see this girl here, she's my sister and I want you girls to stay away from her. Do you get that!".

" Wait a minute, Valerie, how can you say that this classless pig is your sister"Clara said as she fake a smile on her face. "Sara, you and your girls should stay away from my sister, don't say I didn't warn you" Valerie put on a mean face.

"okay! you don't need to yell. We'll do just as you said not because of her just because of you." Sara said smiling and she walk away with her girls.

Monalisa is still trying to process what just happened and Valarie held her arms and drag her to their floor. They enter in a room and there was a writeup above the room door "Room 20".

"welcome to room 20!! Hope you like the interior deco I put out here?. Girl, that's your on bed" she point at a foam in the right corner with a beautiful pink bedsheets that wraps it "If you don't like any please you can tell me or change it okay."

"you got a beautiful room here, I like everything" Monalisa said as she puts on a sad face but trying to hide it. "Monalisa, don't let what those girls said earlier to get to you. Everyone knows Sara and her girls to be the most troublesome and mischievous students on campus. Just avoid them okay?"

"Alright, I will. After all, I'm only here to study, so I'm only going to focus on that which brought me here" she sat on her bed and took a deep breath.

"That's my girl!! But why were you sad earlier. Didn't I tell you to be ready to meet kinds of spoiled brats troubles huh? So this was exactly what I was talking about" she teased Monalisa.

Monalisa move to her and hit her playfully and they they both laughed heavily.

" but don't worry girl! I got you" she looks at Monalisa who was just laughing foolishly " I got you too!" Monalisa said still laughing.

It's the rising of the sun , The wind blows calmly and the trees dances from the cool breeze, while the birds sings loud in the sky. "It's morning already!" Monalisa gets up from the bed and open the cottons which makes the reflect of the sun to shines in through the window.

"Wake up it's morning!" Monalisa shakes Valerie who just lay like a piece of wood in the bed. "Oh goodness! It already morning" Valerie looks at Monalisa and she gave her a beautiful smile.

"Sorry, I overslept. We have early lectures toady being Monday and Mr Andrew the Financial teacher keeps to time." She said as she grab her brush and dash to the bathroom.

Monalisa standing to the mirror "today is my first day in Diamond College and I'm so nervous, don't know who to meet. Dear Lord, please see me through" she smiles " Now listen up girl, remember our agreement. Don't fall for any man nor think something silly besides academics, just focus on your study" she smiles widely.

Valerie is already done having her shower, only to come out from the bathroom and met Monalisa smiling at herself "Jeez! Monalisa what are you doing" she raised her voice. " I told you we are running late and you are in the mirror admiring your beauty?" she said calmly like someone who is exhausted.

"Oh gosh! So sorry, I will quickly run a shower" she Jump into the bathroom still smiling "Just give me 5 minutes!" She screamed from the bathroom.

"5 what? You aren't serious. I'm just gonna wait for you for 10 seconds and if you are not ready by then I will zoom off to class" Valerie said putting on her outfits.

The girls are already all dressed up.

" what's this you are putting on" Valarie asked steering at Monalisa in curiosity. "Cloth! off course" Monalisa look up to Valerie knowing fully well she has a lot in heart to say.

"I know is cloth but you can't wear this to lectures." " why not" Monalisa question her immediately. "It will only attract people teasing you. Incase you've forgotten this is Diamond College, be mindful of how you dress" Valerie brought out another outfit from Monalisa closet.

"I can't go and rob financial institutions because I want to belong. Nor change who I am just to fit in. I am Monalisa Gilbert, the orphan poor girl who got the opportunity to school here and not to flex around" tears streams down her cheeks.

"I'm so sorry. I don't mean it that way. I only want you to always look good combined with your beauty. I don't want anyone looking down on you. See all your clothes are nice is just for you to know the perfect outfit that matches to put on. That's what I meant" she makes a face of a baby who wants to cry.

"It's okay Valarie, I'm not mad at you" she changes to another outfit and wear her body spray. " so can we go now." She smiles at Valerie. "Yes, let's go" They dash out from the room.

some students are hanging in each area of the school building, some at the changing room while others in the lecture hall. Monalisa and Valerie leaned on a wall next to the lecture hall.

A new black flashy Mercedes Benz latest fashion drove in. The driver in an uniform get down from the car and open the door as a very tall, light skin and too handsome, cute guy with a well styled black short hair stepped out, putting on a black sunshade, Diamond wristwatch, gold necklace, white expensive sneakers with long jean pant and a blue polo.

He walks so confidently, with an Ear pods on his both ears and an apple iPad on his left hand, towards the lecture hall, and every students watch him and some adore him like a king.

"I have not seen such a beautiful man in my entire life, I think I'm in love with this cutie" Monalisa whispers to herself. " Oh my gosh! Who is this cute guy? Is this an angel in human form?" she smiles slowly as he walk pass
