"Appa good morning" they both greeted

"How was your night daughter" their father (Joel) asked

"Great right Vivian" Vanessa said and Vivian nodded with a smile, their mother walks out of the mini kitchen and set the food on their table they both greeted her and she answered, she urge them to eat up so they won't be late for the exam they wants to do.

"Bye Appa, Omma" they both yelled and rush out of their small apartment, they board a cab to the school and alight in front of the magnified building, a wow escape their lips

"Vanessa do you think I can do this" Vivian said

"C'mon Vivi believe in yourself" Vanessa encouraged

"Okay" Vivian said and they walk to the examination hall, they were quite early because there are just few students like them...

**WHITE MANSION**

Ryan sits in the dining room picking on his food, his mom looked at him and sighs, she asked if he is not hungry and touch his forehead

"Mom, I'm okay, I'm not hungry" Ryan whined and asked about his dad, his mom chuckle

"He received an urgent call, so it was an early meeting" Jemima replied

"What about you, you're not going to work" he asked

"I will" she replied

"Okay mom, I will be late if I continue like this" Ryan said and peck her cheek before rushing out of the house, Jemima shook her head and chuckle

Ryan gets out of the house to find Lillian waiting outside and frown, he stroll to her and asked what her business is at his house, she smile and Ryan scoff

"Ryan, are you not happy to see me here? Let go to school together" Lillian said

"We are going nowhere together, my parent and yours are friends does not makes us friend" Ryan stated

"Okay just give me a ride my driver is gone" Lillian said

"Do I look like I care? I don't want trouble, stay away from me" Ryan said and mount his bike and zoom off

"Vessa do you think I will be chosen" Vivian asked

"Vivi can you be positive for once please" Vanessa said and she shrugged

"Let get something to drink" she added and they both went to the cafeteria, they bought a bottle of soju drink, they went back to the bench

"It is none of your business okay?" Lillian snapped and made to slap Vivian again but she holds her hand

"Don't you dare" she said and yank her hand away then went her way, Lillian storm away angrily and silver laughed, suddenly a girl run past their middle almost making silver fall
