Real Identities

CAMILA

"No, that's where I want to go" I yelled frustratedly.

"And how dare you take the exam without my permission?" He yelled back.

"Because you'd have never allowed me" I yelled sniffing.

"Why don't you want me to go?" I asked as a tear slipped down my face.

"You aren't attending the institution and that's final" he said firmly.

"I will" I said determinedly. "And you can't stop me" I added firmly.

"Camila!" He sighed falling to the couch and I sniffed going towards him.

"Why don't you want me to go?" I asked holding his hand.

"I just don't want it Camila, I don't want you to get involved with the rich students" he said and I smiled taking his hand to my face.

"It's schooling dad, I'll tackle any challenges dad" I said and he nodded gently.

"I don't want to lose you Camila" he mumbled with a sigh.

"You won't dad" I replied leaning down to him giving him a big hug.

"You're indefatigable" he laughed hugging me tighter.

I smiled as another tear slip down, main reason why I love him as my dad. He supports my decision.

"Get a list of what you need" he said and I nodded pulling away from the hug.

I went to my room to get a list of what I wanted.

"Here dad" I handed it over to him and he nodded.

"I think I can afford this" he said with a small smile.

Well of course, we are a little bit well to do though, a little bit under the middle class.

"I'd go get my things arranged" I said and he nodded.

Glancing around my room, I smiled seeing the admission letter, who knew I could be this lucky, I only tried my luck for the scholarship and I was picked. Well, I can't say I'm very brilliant, I'm just a little bit above average and it's my luck I was chosen. Who I am? I'm Camila Smith, I am about to resume the school owned by the renown Governor. Excitement is an understatement right now because I get to be in same class with the rich students. Talents? I draw, I can literally draw any piece of art. The main thing I'm proud of, I love my talent. Going to my wardrobe, I searched through my clothes wondering if it'd be able to fit in into the school. I hope I don't get to regret my decision because dad will definitely be sad. And I dare not make him sad, he's the only thing I've got. Dad told me I was still a child when mum died so I don't know how she's. He told me he moved away from where they lived so I never got to see her picture. Well, that's not really a valid reason but I trust him enough, there's no reason for him to keep away mum's death from me. Phew! I hung my shirts back into the wardrobe before falling floppily to the bed. Hopefully I don't die of excitement, lol. I chuckled rolling on the bed thinking of what to do. Well, draw since it's what I do best. But a picture of who? Dad. I'll give him as a gift for giving me his permission to attend the institution I longed so much, an institution different from all others since it's owned by the Governor.

HENRY

"Dad!!" I yelled frustratedly falling to the couch.

"I don't want that dad" I said firmly.

"What do you want, go straight to the point, you know I'm busy" he said and I rolled my eyes.

"I want to be in Blessed High this session" I said.

"Please" I added.

"I want you in the business line Henry, you're almost done" he said.

I scoffed throwing the pillow away. As if hearing my grumbling, he laughed.

"I'd allow you attend if you can manage both together" he said, I rolled my eyes thinking of it.

"How do I get to go for the exams?" I asked and I could feel his smile.

"You travel Henry, I want you to take over the companies I own" he said and I nodded.

"But at least I get to attend Blessed high right?" I asked.

"Yes" he said and I smiled putting an end to the call.

I wonder why he's against the idea of me attending his institution for my programme. The institution takes the programme too but he doesn't want that. Anyway, it's no problem, I should be happy he agreed.

Wondering who I am? I am Henry the only child of the Governor. He owns the institution I want to attend and it's a very good institution very different from all others. The programme is continued in the school but I'll only attend for a year more. Well, I can't really say I'm the only child, let's say I'm the only child alive. Mum and my one sibling died years ago though I can't really remember what happened but according to dad, they died in an accident when he was still a random man. The school helped him grow to his current status and I can say it's the best thing to be the Governor's only son. Dad could have had another wife but he didn't though he has a woman not legally his wife but she's his official wife. Age? 18, will be 19 soon. I stood up walking to the mirror gracefully and I smiled staring into the mirror. My face I must say is the most beautiful ever.

"Sir?" A guard bowed walking in and I turned to him.

"Amelia is here to see you" he said and I nodded.

"Bring her in" I ordered and he nodded walking away.

Amelia is my current girlfriend and I like her to an extent. Though I know she's your only with me for the fame and money but it's no problem, when I'm done with her, I'd discard of her.

"Baby" she squealed hugging me from behind.

"Let go" I ordered and she let go instantly.

"So, did your dad agree?" She asked and I nodded walking to the couch.

"Really?" She squealed jumping on me while I chuckled.

"You're gonna be in the states" she jumped around.

"I can see you whenever I want" she added with a smile.

Her phone rang and she paused.

"Bring it" I ordered as she held the phone.

"It's no problem Henry, don't worry" she said about to end the call.

"Bring it" I ordered and she sighed walking gently to me.

I picked the phone and a guy's voice came on. Really?

"I want to be inside of you" the voice said and I smirked staring at her.

She's fucking someone else? She sweated and I ended the call immediately. I gave a small smile lifting her chin and I said the words.

"We're done Amelia" I said firmly.

"No Henry, I..." she stammered scratching her neck.

"I can't afford to be fucking someone others are fucking" I added and she sniffed.

"Please Henry" she begged.

"Bye" I said showing her the way out.

"Henry..." she called and I exhaled.

"You wouldn't like it the hard way" I gritted.

She swallowed hard taking her bag not without taking a last glance at me. Silly her.

CAMILA

Walking into the school gently, I glanced around in awe seeing the decorations in the school. It's really a beautiful school. Well what should I expect, it's owned by the Governor after all. I walked towards the principal's office with my map to do the necessary registration.

Looking into the map towards my class, I gasped when I bumped into someone.

"I'm sorry" I apologized immediately.

"Really?" The person sneered and almost immediately, I felt the push making me fall to the ground weakly.

"I'm sorry" I mumbled trying to stand up but the grasp on my hair made me fall weakly to the floor.

"Let go" I whimpered trying to push the hands off but the hand held my hair firmer.

"Please" I begged whimpered as the person pulled on my hair tighter.

"On your knees" the person ordered and I realized it's a girl.

Why's she telling me to go on my knees?

"Let go" I ordered with all courage in me.

The person let go and when I thought I was free, I felt the push making me fall flatly to the ground. What? On my first day? Maybe dad's right. I turned on the floor to see two girls smirking staring at me.

"Stop it" I mumbled trying to stand up but they pushed me with their legs and I sat on the ground weakly. Students gathered around but no one was taking pictures.

"Heyy" one of the girls laughed waving her hands.

"What do you want?" I asked weakly.

One of the girls laughed walking around.

"Samantha? She's asking me what I want, isn't that downgrading?" She laughed bending a little.

"She's just being ignoramus Chloe" the Samantha said and I stared at the Chloe.

Why does her name sound familiar? I tried remembering where I heard the name but I only heard a faint voice. I batted my eyelashes trying to get out of my trance.

"Punishment yet Samantha?" Chloe asked proudly.

"You can't punish me" I said firmly trying to stand up.

"I apologized already, why do you still want to punish me?" I asked standing up.

"Woah" students cheered and I regretted it immediately.

Maybe she's never been confronted for students to be surprised I'm confronting her.

"Bitch" she screamed and I gasped when I felt her hand up.

"Chloe!!!!" A voice yelled and her hand stopped midair.

"What are you doing?" The voice growled coming closer.

I sniffed as the footsteps became clearer and the most beautiful face I've ever seen came to my vision. Him? He looks familiar. Yes, very familiar.

"Doing this this early?" He asked with a smirk.

"Stay out of this Henry!" Chloe gritted, the annoyance and hate vivid on her face.

"Really Chloe?" The guy asked pulling her to him.

"The last time I checked, I have authority than you do" he whispered on her face and she swallowed hard.

"Let go Henry" her trembling voice came up.

"Woah" a student cheered and we heard the sound of a clicking camera.

"This will definitely go a long way in the school chat, Chloe is helpless in someone's hand" the student cheered. Before I could process what's happening, Chloe released herself and the sound went...

It echoed through the space, the ear deafening slap she gave the student.

"Chloe!" The guy walked over to her immediately.

"Is this what you do?" He asked furiously.

"Stay out of this Henry" she gritted as the girl whimpered holding her cheeks.

"If you don't get out of here, I'd ban you from the school!" the guy said and she looked up at him in surprise.

"Henry!!" She gritted and the guy smiled.

"Yes baby" he laughed pulling her to him whispering some words in her ear and I saw Chloe shudder.

So, his name is Henry, it sounds a lot familiar to me.

Chloe pulled away from the guy angrily stumping her foot before walking away while Samantha followed her.

"Dismiss!" the guy ordered and students scampered off.

I sighed dusting my clothes and slowly, I picked up my backpack. At the sound of the footsteps, I looked up instantly. Huh? Henry?

"Thanks" I murmured dusting my clothes, trying not to look into his face.

"I didn't save you, I only had to stop her" he said bluntly and I nodded.

"Thank you anyway" I said looking up and for a second, I got lost in his beautiful golden brown eyes. Well, this is the most beautiful eyes I must say. I swallowed hard looking away before I get immersed in his beautiful face.

"Thought you're gonna keep staring" he mumbled with a light scoff and my lips formed into a thin line embarrassed.

"Sorry" I mumbled trying to dust my backpack.

"Hmm" he nodded, his gaze still on me.

"Fanscho!" he called and I looked up.

A guard came rushing and I stared at him to the guard.

"Towel" he said and the guard brought out a hand towel. "Hand it over to her" he ordered and the guard stretched out the towel to me. I collected it slowly.

"Thank you" I mumbled with a smile.

"Hmm, and don't go around looking for trouble" he added before walking away.

Glancing around I saw the girl Chloe hit staring at me.

"Hey" I rushed over to her immediately.

"Are you okay?" I asked as she massaged her cheeks.

"Hmm" she nodded clutching her phone in her hand.

"I'm Camila" I said said cleaning my backpack."I'm Ava" she mumbled and I smiled.

"Who's she?" I asked and she stared at me wide-eyed.

"Are you new?" She asked and I nodded.

"She's the Governor's niece" she answered and I nodded.

Ohh, so much effrontery because of that.

"And the boy?" I asked and she gasped.

"That's Henry, the school's darling, the Governor's son" she said.

"Ohh" I mouthed nodding my head. Is that why he looked familiar?

"He doesn't attend schools everyday, he only comes once in a while" she added and I nodded.

Thank goodness he came today else I'd have been slapped. But she slapped Ava.

"Why did she slap you?" I asked.

"Because she thought I was picturing her bullying you" she answered.

"And wasn't that what you're doing?" I asked but she shook her head.

"Who said the statement then, wasn't it you?" I asked.

"Of course not, I was snapping my crush" she said unknowingly.

"Your crush?" I asked staring at her.

"Oops" she shut her eyes exhaling.

"Henry is my crush" she said and my mouth formed into an ohh.

Wow.

"He's beautiful, isn't he?" She squealed.

"Hmm, now I have to attend classes" I told her and she nodded.

"What grade?" She asked.

"Last one of course" I replied walking away and she squealed following me.

"It's my grade too" she yelled with a smile rushing after me.

Goodness, she talks too much.

We entered the class and I rolled my eyes as we became the center of attraction. I glanced around searching for a seat and I made eye contact with Henry. I gave him a small smile walking to my seat and almost immediately, the teacher entered.

He taught for a while before his gaze rested on me.

"New student?" He asked and I nodded.

"Stand up" he ordered and I stood gently.

"Name" he asked and I swallowed hard trying to ignore the piercing gazes .

"Camila Smith" I answered and Ava gasped behind me.

What was that for? I thought.

"Woah" the teacher smiled motioning for me to sit and I sat down.

"Guess we have another Smith now" he laughed taking his things as he walked out of the class leaving me to wonder what he meant.

"What did he mean?" I asked as soon as the teacher got out.

"You have the same surname as Chloe" she said and my eyes rolled immediately.

Smith is the most common surname, silly.

"And I think you guys look alike a bit" she added and I scoffed.

"Silly" I mumbled bringing out my sketchpad.

What? She gasped immediately snatching the sketchpad.

"You draw too?" she asked flipping through the pages, her mouth wide open in awe.

"Who else draws?" I asked.

"Chloe, she has been winning the award for a while" she cleared my doubt.

"Ohh" I mouthed nodding.

"But I think you draw better" she smiled dropping the sketchpad before another teacher walked in.

So Chloe draws, but she thinks I draw better. And there's a drawing contest? That definitely means I can contest. Wow, maybe schooling wouldn't be bad here.

HENRY

"Don't you ever dare meddle in my business" Chloe yelled as soon as she entered my room.

I paused gazing at her.

"Who gave you the permission to enter my room?" I asked irritated.

"I do what I want" she yelled and I stood up immediately.

"This is my house not yours" I gritted.

"And the last time I checked, you aren't the Governor's child" I added glaring at her.

"I am his favorite" she smiled sitting on the sofa in my room.

"And I'm sure he prefers me to you" she said proudly.

"No Chloe" I chuckled sauntering towards her.

"He only feels love towards you because he misses his daughter" I reminded her and her face went pale.

"You couldn't take that position" she smiled standing up.

"I came to warn you not to meddle in my business" she said firmly.

"You're so proud huh?" I laughed gripping her arm.

"I do what I want" I breathe out on her face and I saw her shudder.

Why won't she? I'm pretty sure she feels something for me.

"Let go Henry" she mumbled and I let go of her arm.

"And remember there are a lot of secrets I can use against you Chloe" I smirked reminding her and she looked up instantly.

"You wouldn't want the Governor to know you bully students right? And you wouldn't want him to know you're an addict to smoking"I smirked as I saw her mouth wide open.

"How...? You know?" She asked and I smiled patting her cheeks.

"A lot more about your mischievous acts" I said.

"Now you should leave my room" I ordered.

She swallowed hard turning slowly walking to the door. Guess she's speechless, well of course I know how to put her in her place when I want to. And I'm sure she likes me, the only thing stopping her is our relationship. My phone rang and I scoffed seeing the caller. Amelia. I picked the phone blocking her immediately.

CHLOE

How did he know? I thought walking out of his room. He knows a lot of things about me then but he never attends school, how did he know I bully students? Well, I shouldn't be bothered about that, I'm pretty sure he has no evidence. I make sure to destroy every evidence, I'm Chloe after all. Yes Chloe, the Governor's niece. The most superior young adult. Age? 17 , I'll be 18 soon and I bet it'd be the most celebrated birthday of my life. I'm pretty sure of that. I have a talent of drawing, I draw the best art no one can ever make, I've made a lot of sculptures for the Governor and he never fails to reward me. Well, why wouldn't he? I'm his favorite after all. I know he has a soft spot for me because I am the same age as his late daughter, she was kidnapped I guess, I really can't remember because I was still a kid. We were literally nothing back then. I chuckled remembering some pictures I saw of our childhood , we used to play the weirdest game. Well, I'm kinda happy his daughter isn't alive else she would be having the most affection and attention from him. But now? Everything is directed to me.

"Ma'am?" a guard called tapping on my shoulders and I scoffed shrugging his hands off.

"Don't you dare touch me!" I gritted in annoyance and he bowed immediately.

Well, he knows better than not to, I can make sure he lose everything he has.

"I'm sorry, you zoned out for a while" he said bowing.

"What do we have?" I asked angrily.

"A phone call" he stretched the phone to me and I scoffed seeing the caller.

Brian? What does he wants? He's my ex boyfriend already. I snatched the phone from him before throwing it against the wall.

"Next time you bring important things to me" I said before walking away.

How dare he even bring that call to me? I scoffed as I entered the car and the driver zoomed off while the guards drove behind us. I hate having them in the same car but trust me, I made sure to get a guard as the driver. At least I'm sure he'd protect if anything happens to others.

**

Walking into the room, I scoffed seeing Samantha doing her usual thing.

"You never get tired right?" I asked and she smiled sweetly.

"I love it this way Chloe, I can do any style I want " she said and I scoffed.

"You should try it too Chloe, they're better than humans" she said.

I chuckled shaking my head.

"I'll never use dildos" I declared firmly. "And you better get out of my room" I added falling to the bed.

"Really?" She smirked and I scoffed remembering my autophobia. I hate being alone, main reason I allow her in my room.

"Where's Cassy?" I asked with an eye roll.

"Out as usual" she said and I nodded remembering her usual routine.

Her practice, she wants to sing. Well Cassy is the third person and she's a gentle girl, always at loggerheads with Samantha.

"But.." Samantha stood up taking her towel.

"Did you see Henry? He's so cute" she gushed happily.

I rolled my eyes picking the phone scrolling to Henry's and I picture, he's very cute.

"Did you just notice?" I asked and she smiled snatching my phone.

"Have you done anything with him?" She asked and I exhaled turning to her.

"He's my cousin remember" I reminded her.

Well, I'm only trying to have a little self respect if not, I'd have tried things out with him but I'm pretty sure Henry wouldn't agree because he's my cousin.

Yes, my cousin... tch, how silly that sounds.

"Maybe I should try my luck then" Samantha squealed and I scoffed.

"Thought you don't like humans" I reminded her.

"Well, not for a beautiful soul like Henry."

"Can you just keep quiet?" I asked shutting my eyes.

"Fine" she stood up and I heard the bathroom door open.
