INTRODUCTION)
****ASHTON HIGH SCHOOL****
~ FIVE YEARS AGO ~
"Come on Camille go tell him, I mean what if he likes you" Camille's best friend Mercy said
"I'm not sure... What if he's just being nice" she said trying to get away from Mercy
"Come on..., a guy isn't just nice to a girl until he takes her on a date" she said flipping her blonde hair
" Hmm ... Okay" Camille said and Mery pushed her.
Camille Norman, a 17 year old girl in her sophomore year of high school.
She is a bookish creature, she is one of the brightest students in school.
Her mother left her father for a much richer man... she lives with her grandmother and father in an old family house.
Her family wasn't that poor either... Her father worked as a taxi driver, her grandmother owned a family restaurant that made quite a bit of money.
Camille is a very beautiful girl who loves reading more than anything, she has won many prizes and awards for school, but ever since he came, he was all she could think about.
Gray Cole... Just thinking about his name gives her goosebumps.
Although he's a graduate and in college, he's only here for the summer because he has to take a certain exam, so the college appointed Camille as his tutor.
He's been very friendly and kind, sometimes he asks her out... he's like a perfect boyfriend to her only without him knowing.
His dad is a fucking millionaire, which has helped him immensely, he's about to graduate to take over his dad's business.
He's lucky enough to graduate after just spending two years in college, he's just struggling in one particular subject, so the school offered to give it to their best student, which is her .
"Um... um Hi" she said to Gray.
He was in a group of guys wearing a black tank top and black shorts and nothing could make him look hotter... They were on a football field.
"Hi Lunetty," he said. He calls her that since she wore glasses. Most girls would have hated it, but Camille didn't mind.
Camille: "Can you... Can I... Talk to you... alone. I mean, in private?"
"Just say what you want..." He said and she took a deep breath.
"Well, we get along well... and I just wanted to say," she felt all nervous but glanced at her best friend who gave her two thumbs up, urging her to go ahead.
"I've had a crush on you ever since I started this school... and I just thought maybe we could go out together sometime!" She said, looking at the floor all nervous... Her cheek as red as a tomato.
Then he and his guys started laughing. She looked around, feeling embarrassed.
Gray laughed like she was a clown.
___"If you thought me being nice to you was a sign.... Forget it, I was just compensating you since you're tutoring me for no pay."
"I... I thought you liked me" she was about to cry and that made Gray laugh more.
"How can I like you... I mean look at you... you're a nerd with no looks... don't take this the wrong way, but you're ugly. What made you think for one second that you were my type?" he said and he and his gang started laughing.
She walked out, embarrassed... cleaning the tears from her eyes.
Gray couldn't believe it even though she wasn't the first girl to confess her feelings for him but how could she think he could go out with her......*****THREE WEEKS LATER****
It was a new day and Camille walked into the school with her best friend.
"I'm so sorry Cam... I didn't know it would end like this." Mercy has been apologizing to her all week since Gray rejected her in front of practically the whole school.
When she walked into the halls, people started laughing at her... it's not the first time they've treated her like this but this time was different.
Gray is back at college, he passed his exams with flying colors and he's already left...
___"Hey idiot" Mia and her gang normally known as the Panthers came up to her
"I heard you proposed to Gray" Mia told her but she ignored her as she put her books in the locker..
"I mean how can he like you... he's practically the hottest guy in school" she said but Camille wanted to leave but they blocked her.
___"I mean look at you... no big boobs or ass, even the face..."
Which was a lie because Camille was blessed with everything a man could want in a body but she didn't like wearing tight fitting clothes that showed it off especially like theirs... they looked like prostitutes.
"Leave me alone" she said about to leave but the girls held her hand and dragged her to the bathroom
"Hey... leave me" she kept screaming but they didn't and no one came to her rescue
They shoved her head in the toilet..
"That'll teach you not to talk back to us" Mia said and the girls laughed.
They left and she started to cry.
If only she hadn't listened to Mercy... If only Gray had liked her back or at worst rejected her delicately then this wouldn't have happened.
She had been bullied all week but this is the worst of it.
Gray Cole... She thought in her head.
I'll always hate you for this...
*****CAMILLE'S HOUSE*****
Camilla stormed home throwing her bag on the floor.
"Argh" she yelled and her grandmother came out.
"What's up honey... why is your hair like that and why do you stink?" Her grandmother said and she started to cry...
She realized she had been bullied again.
"All I did was confess my love... I don't deserve this" she said and her grandmother caressed her.
"Don't cry... I have some good news, it will cheer you up" she told him and stood up
___" What is it?"
___" We're moving away from this place"
" But what about school and Sam, your restaurant, Dad's taxi" she said
" Your father has decided that life here will not be good for you, a fresh start would be better" her grandmother said and she scoffed.
" I'm fine Granny..." She said sitting on the couch.
" Not with this stench... the bullying is too much and think about it... new school better opportunity for Sam and you could start over, no more bullying... no more Gray Cole" she said and it touched her.
No more bullying or Gray Cole... she could start over.
"But what about your restaurant and how are we going to find a new home?" she asked.
"Um... it's just Los Angeles and I have a friend who lives there, there's money since we sold the restaurant and the house..."
___"What?"... why?" "
"Honey, your dad loves you and your brother so much... You two are all he has and the school authority doesn't seem to be doing anything so he decided a new environment would be better and I agreed" she told him and Camille moaned.
Camille: "But this is our family's home and restaurant... it's your most treasured possession."
"Honey, you and your brother are our most treasured possessions" she said kissing his forehead and walking up the stairs.
Even though it's going to be nice to get away from this drama but it's hard.
She grew up here, but her grandmother and father only want the best for her, so she might as well continue with the plan.
They told her brother and he was a little sad but he was willing to do it for his sister. That's how strong their love is.
She told Mercy and she was crying wishing she hadn't pushed her to ask Gray out...
But she had to make her understand that it was for the best and that it was the best indeed now she can overcome this grief and on to a new beginning...
******FIVE YEARS LATER****
~ LOS ANGELES~
"Come on, lazybones," said Camille's friend
Zoey . "No.... Leave me alone," she said, throwing the pillow at her annoying friend.... she should call her her best friend, but she couldn't find a way to replace Mercy.
She and Mercy lost touch a year after moving to Los Angeles. She had tried looking her up on social media, but it proved inconclusive.
It's been five years since she moved to Los Angeles...
Although changing schools bothered her a little, it was okay because she still held her position as the smart student.
She made new friends, but made sure not to have a crush or fall in love to avoid the last incident that made her move.
She had a boyfriend in college but broke up with him three months later... it didn't seem right, she got her first kiss from him, but nothing more.
She has two best friends Zoey who is lesbian and Mark but he is straight.
She loves her family more than anything.
When they first moved out, it was pretty hard because they had nothing, just a house and some stuff from their luggage.
But her dad's taxi business flourished again and he had enough money to help them with their basic needs.
Her grandmother was old and was diagnosed with a serious illness so almost all the money was spent on her treatment, making it hard to send Sam to college.
Sam is now 18... a sexy and funny guy , he's not a nerd like his sister but rather, he's like a cool sexy guy who is very good at basketball.
He got a lot of trophies and he'll probably go to international competitions next year if he wins the national competitions so his sporting life is set.
After they moved there Camille's grandmother who was old but like a teenager took her to the spa who treated her face and gave her a cream that softened it...
She wasn't ugly before but puberty took a bit of a toll on her.
She dyed her hair a dark brown.... She didn't want to be a stuck-up nerd anymore, she changed her closet and got lots of trendy clothes.
She was still smart but not like before... she's a new "her"
Five years and nerd Camille is dead now she's the hot, smart, sexy Camille...
"Remember you have an interview today" Zoey said and her eyes flew open.
"My God... how could I forget.... My God" she said rushing to the bathroom.
Zoey laughed heartily... her parents have a misunderstanding so she can't stand to see them fight so she decided to sleep at Camille's and of course Camille's family loves her... she's been staying at their house for a few days now.
Camille had an interview at Cole's Corporation to be a personal assistant to one of the CEOs if she gets the job she will be paid $5000 every two weeks... it would not only help cover their expenses but also help send Sam to college this year if she gets the job.
Sam has been home for three weeks now even though she and her brother are super close like he's her better half but she can't help but feel guilty that it's kind of her fault he's not in college yet...
If only her dad didn't spend the money on her and grandma's final exams and fees then he'd already be in school, even though he never complained... He just goes to work at an internet cafe as one of their operators and in the afternoon he leaves for basketball practice...
Camille quickly cleaned up and dressed in a white shirt and black pencil skirt that showed off her big ass and hips...
"Wow... if I didn't already have a girlfriend... I wouldn't mind going out with you" Zoey said and Camille laughed before kissing her.
"It's okay. I'm going," Camille said as she walked out of the room and downstairs.
"Hello," she greeted her family as they sat down on the dining chair.
"Aren't you eating?" her father asked.
"No... I have to go or I'll be late," she said, rushing off.
"At least eat something," her grandmother said, but she refused.
"No, Grandma... See you later, I love you all," she said, pecked each of them on the cheek.
.
.
.*****COLE'S CORPORATION****
Camille arrived at the company at exactly seven o'clock... It was quite early because the interview was at seven forty-five.
She waited for about thirty minutes at the reception desk with some other people.
"Miss Leighton... Come in," the secretary said, and a young girl dressed in extremely tight clothes walked in,
her cleavage exposed... Camille couldn't help but roll her eyes...
"Did they come for an interview or to seduce the CEO?" "She thought
The company was extremely large... about thirty floors... she heard that the owner inherited it from her father and made it bigger... He has two other branches, one in the city where she used to live and another in a place where she forgot the name... this one is the one he manages and also the head office.
The girl went out for a few minutes, she looked sad but her hair was rough and her makeup was smudged.
"Did they sleep together? " : Camille wondered
About thirty people came in but came out with disappointed faces... that means they didn't get the job.
____" Miss Norman "the receptionist shouted.
"Your turn" she said and stood up
"Twenty-ninth floor" she told him and Camille nodded as she entered the elevator
She arrived at the twenty-ninth floor and saw a lot of people who were very busy.
People were running around from cabin to cabin and from office to office.
"Um where can I find the CEOs office" she asked a young man.
"Go straight and turn left... that's the only office there" he told her.
"Thank you" she said and left
She arrived there and she noticed the glass office... It was dark, she decided to adjust her clothes.
She unbuttoned her shirt. She adjusted her bra and put it on arranged... she arranged her skirt well too and smoothed her hair.
"Now I'm ready" she said...
Since the windows were dark... she thought no one could see her.
She knocked on the door... She felt weird and nervous.
This is her first interview except the one she did to work in a restaurant but that doesn't count.
____"Come in" she heard a loud voice that sent shivers down her spine.
Taking deep breaths, she walked in looking at the person's face.
Camille couldn't believe it... no this can't be true
He's not supposed to be here... The owner of the company...
Is actually.... It's Gray Cole!!!!
Her resume fell out of her hand... her mouth open in horror...
**** COLE'S CORPORATION ****
Camille couldn't believe her eyes... she was seeing Gray again after so long.
The guy who made her life miserable by calling her ugly... but she can't act like she cares, she just has to play it cool
"Hello Cole" she said pretending it was her first time seeing him... she took his resume and walked towards him.
Gray couldn't help but watch her hips sway as she walked towards him... He can never guess that a nerd could turn into a sexy and gorgeous goddess.
"She's just too sexy" he thought.
He couldn't help but get hard as he imagined her sitting on his desk while he f*cks her ..
He had to hire her... No matter what.
"Sit down miss..." He didn't know her name but he surely recognized her... she still had the same face but more mature.
"Norman... Camille Norman" she said as she shook his hand.... She felt a little spark but ignored it, she has nothing to feel for that asshole anymore.
And she's not surprised that he doesn't remember her... He didn't even know her name in high school.
But she couldn't help but think that he hasn't lost any of his good looks.
He looked more manly and huge with those muscles... He's not that teenager in high school anymore, now he's a sexy man like one of those men in an Italian mafia movie.
"Miss Norman" he shouted and she popped out of her thoughts
What was she thinking?.... She can't fantasize... He'll just break her heart like he did back then.
"Your resume?" He asked and she gave it to him. He was
checking and Camille couldn't help but admire his gray eyes.
It matched his first name perfectly.
"So you went to Ashton University... I went to that school too, how come I don't know you?" He asked and Camille looked up...
What a jerk...
"I guess we've probably never met," she said with a fake smile.
"Okay then," Gray said, wondering if she really didn't remember him or if she'd just lied.
But whatever... he just wants to get into her panties and he always gets what he wants.
"I think you're very qualified for this job... You can start tomorrow exactly at 7:00 a.m. sharp... I don't like being late," he said, and Camille just sat there shocked.
Did he just hire her ?...
She didn't want to work with him but she really needed this job and the money... she just had to think about it.
She didn't love him anymore... that's for sure but something told her to run... to get away from him.
"Thank you sir... I'll be more than happy to work with you" she said shaking his hand and there was that spark again
"Same" Gray said with a smile and a weird glint in his eye...
"See you tomorrow then" Gray said and she nodded as she walked out.
Gray just kept staring at her beautiful ass until she walked out
"This is going to be so much fun..." he thought....
****CAMILLE'S HOUSE****
"What?" Zoey screamed...
She was shocked by the news.
After Camille got home, she took a shower and lay on her bed thinking about the incident that just happened.
She was telling her brother and Zoey about her experience .
"Yeah, and can you believe he didn't recognize me?" She said, rolling her eyes.
"Not surprised," Sam said, and she hit him with a pillow.
"But this is a great opportunity..." Zoey said, and Camille bit her lip.
"But... but... I don't feel safe working with him," Camille said, and Zoey gave her a weird smile.
"Do you still like that Gray guy?" Zoey asked her, and her eyes widened.
"No !" she quickly yelled...
"Of course not."
"Admit it, sister," Sam said, and she hit him with a pillow again, and they started having a pillow fight.
"Oh... That was fun," Zoey said, and Camille laughed.
"Just work for him... Just for a few months until Grandma's treatment is paid and Sam goes to college... it would help your family," Zoey said , but Camille had her doubts.
"I know... but," she mumbled.
She didn't feel well at all...
"Gray is_" she was cut off by her brother.
"Forget Gray Cole... he doesn't even remember you, so let that guy out of your head." Sam said, and she knew he was right.
She'll take that job, but it will only be for a little while, at least until she can get a new one... Just for three months, it would do her good.
"Do it and prove you don't love him anymore," Zoey teased.
"Stop saying that," she said, running into her room.
"You can run, but you can't hide from the truth," Sam said, and the two of them couldn't stop laughing.
They were having a lot of fun teasing her.
Camile went to her room... she couldn't stop thinking about Gray.
He looked so different and remembering his face gave her chills.
His gray eyes kept captivating her and his pink lips... she just wished she could taste them, just once..
And then she realized... what was she thinking???
It's Gray Cole... The same guy who made high school miserable for her, made her move out... he broke her heart too.
Although she doesn't feel anything for him anymore, it's just weird to see his face after all these years.
"Get out of my head" she said as she threw off her blanket and got out of bed.
She walked over to her window and looked out at the city... it made her feel better.
Then she spotted a car... It looked very expensive.
"Who is it?" She saw someone holding a cigarette as she looked out her window.
She got a really good look at him, and it was none other than Gray Cole.
What was he doing here?
She thought as she ran downstairs... She ran so fast and got out, but he waved to the driver, and they drove off.
She started to think she was hallucinating because she'd been thinking about him all day.
But she didn't think she was.
It was Gray Cole!
What was he doing here?
How did he know her house?
Is he following her?
