Episode 1
Catherine's POV:
I fixed my shoes and grabbed my bag from the bed. I walked towards the door and took a deep breath. My uncle was transferred to New York last week and I got transferred to Riverside high school too. It was my first day in school and I was already getting anxious.
I closed my eyes and inhaled then exhaled harshly.
You can do this Cat, you can do it.
I opened my eyes and unlocked the door. Standing in front of my door was aunt Vivian, my uncle's wife. She glared at me and stepped away from my reach.
She never liked me,and to be honest I never liked her either.
Maybe at some point I did love her but as time passed when I got a glimpse of the real her I hated myself for liking her.
"What are you staring at? It is 8:10am, your first day in school and you're late!" She yelled at me, her hand swinging towards me. I started running down the stairs, I jumped the stairs and quickly rushed to the door.
"You better come back immediately after school, you have to wash my hair." I heard her say that but I ignored her and ran out of the house.
When I got to the street ten blocks away from my uncle's house I sighed softly.
Few minutes later I walked through the school gate and gasped when I saw the garage, everywhere was filled up with cars.
I thought this is a high school, why are these cars needed?
I glanced around the compound while walking towards the main building. The school was nothing like my old school, my old school was average but my new school looked like a castle.
Why will uncle Morris send me to a school like this?
He doesn't care, he sees me as a burden in his life. I'm just grateful that he hasn't thrown me out yet.
When I got to the main building, I wasted five minutes searching for the principal's office. As soon as I found it, I walked inside the office.
"Good morning, Sir." I greeted, the man looked up from his computer and nodded his head.
"A transferred student, Catherine Meyers." I introduced myself, the principal stood up from his chair and smiled widely at me.
"It's so nice to have you here with us, Miss Meyers."
***
I walked out of the principal's office and glanced down at my uniform, a short yoke skirt and a white shirt with a black red tie and a black jacket.
More beautiful than my previous school uniform.
I glanced down at the map in my hand and started walking to the direction of my classroom.
I walked through the door and noticed the teacher's voice dead down, raising my head up and I could see the students watching me. I quickly looked down and fixed my eyes on the ground.
"Miss Meyers, please find a seat for yourself." The teacher said, I nodded and quickly glanced around the room, I saw a vacant seat and quietly sat down on it. I unzipped my backpack and brought out a book and a pen then zipped it back and placed it at the back of my chair.
"Hi," a voice whispered to me, I glanced around and my eyes came in contact with that of a brunette. Pointed nose and full pink lips.
She looked so beautiful.
"Hi," I responded.
"I am Talia, Talia Scott. What is your name?"
"Catherine Meyers,"
"Well Catherine, nice to meet you." I nodded my head and turned back to face the teacher whose eyes were fixed on me and Talia.
"Miss Meyers, I don't tolerate tardiness in my class." She reprimanded me, I blushed and nodded my head.
First day in school and the teacher was already reprimanding me. This will be a whole lotta ride.
Another person walked inside the class and I heard the students gasping, I turned around to see what they saw.
Two teenage boys walked inside the class like they own the school, they were both...oh shit! Both dead handsome, I couldn't even look away from them, especially the first one, he had a rough look to himself, his hair was wild and he carried himself like a king.
When I was about to look away he raised his head up and his eyes met mine.
I gasped and my face heated up, I looked away and cursed myself inwardly.
He saw me staring at him, shit!
I slowly looked back and our eyes met again, he was still watching me.
Oh God.
Talia pinched my thigh and I whipped my head around to face her.
"Don't." She whispered.
"What?"
"Don't look at him, don't give yourself away."
"I don't understand what you are saying, don't look at who?" I asked frustratedly.
"Don't look at Ace, you'll be sorry if you grab his attention." She whispered.
Ace.
So his name is Ace.
"I wasn't looking," I lied, Talia shrugged casually and bit on her own.
"They are of no good, Ace and Liam. Stay away from them."
Our English class ended and Talia grabbed her backpack.
"Which class do you have next?" She inquired.
"Chemistry practical,"
"The next one hour is ours, come let me show you around,"
I grabbed my backpack and joined Talia and the other students walking out of the class.
"So this is the football field, Riverside high school is very good." Talia said as we pass the football field, she had shown me the basketball court, the swimming pool and the cafeteria.
The school was amazing, I have never seen anything like that before.
"I felt pressed, I needed to pee."
"Oh shit! Quickly go to the restroom before anyone comes, it is the boys restroom." She said and nudged me ahead. I practically ran to the bathroom and slammed the door shut, after easing myself a soft sigh left my lips.
I stood up from the toilet seat and walked towards the basin to wash my hands. When I worked out of the restroom I saw Ace standing in a corner, a few steps from me.
My heart skipped and started beating fast.
When he noticed my presence, he started walking towards me.
He stood in front of me and grabbed me by my neck.
I gasped and grabbed his hand, trying to remove it from my neck.
"You are for me!" He sneered.
I'm for him?

Episode 2
Catherine's POV:
I watched in horror as he tightened his hand around my neck.
Is he going to kill me?
The thought alone made me claw on his hand harder. The psycho smirked and brought his other hand to my cheek, he caressed my cheek with the back of his hand and trailed it down to my collarbone before they landed on my chest.
My eyes widened and I continued to struggle with him.
Knowing for the fact that I can rescue myself if I continue to tug on his hand, I resorted to the only solution that I have.
I bite hard on his hand. He let me go immediately and my back hits the wall, I gasped, trying to inhale as much air as I could.
"Don't you ever bite on my hand, kitten. This will serve as a warning, the next time you try it there will be a punishment." He said while I watched him.
Punish me? Who the hell is he to punish me?
"I....I need to find Talia." I said and quickly stood up from the ground, I dusted the back of my cloth and started walking away when I heard him speak again.
"It was nice seeing you, kitten. Welcome to my kingdom."
I didn't wait to hear him speak again as I ran across the hallway. I got to the football field and saw Talia sitting down on a bench. I guess the football team had practice and that was why there were a lot of people at the field. About twenty feets away are the cheerleaders.
Oh God! I just want to study here in peace and not let a psychotic student lay his claim on me.
"Cat! Where were you? I was about to come find you, the practice is about to start." She told me, I collected my backpack from her and sat down on the bench beside her.
"Sorry for keeping you waiting, it was difficult for me to find the restroom." I lied. She nodded her head and continued staring ahead. I followed her gaze and I saw her staring at a boy, a handsome boy at that, he was wearing the school football team shirt and his helmet.
"What is the name of this school's football team?" I asked Talia.
"Devil's kingdom." She responded.
Such a weird name.
Her expression changed when a girl I've never seen before walked towards us. She was about 5'9 ft tall, her hair was a shining golden color and she had a baby face. A goddess in human form I must add.
Shit.
I know that I was beautiful, but I just realized that there is beauty and there is a beauty goddess.
"Talia." She purred, even her voice sounded soothing to the ear.
"What do you want?" Talia asked in anger.
"Calm down tiger, don't annoy me." The girl said and she turned her face to me. Her eyes searched my face and down to my body. "And what is your name?"
"Oh...hi, I'm Catherine but you can call me Cat." I responded, she smirked and started walking away.
"Call me Queen B."
Even though she had walked away, I still kept on staring at the place she was standing at a few minutes ago.
"Don't talk to her, don't befriend her. You will suffer in this school if you do." Talia finally speaks up.
"Why? Why shouldn't I speak to her?" I inquired,
"Ace Hampton is the King of this school, the football quarterback, his mother is senator Hampton, she is the lead sponsor of this school. Kisa Queens is the school's goddess, she came from old money. Liam Wesley is the school's Playboy, his father is Killian Wesley, the business mogul. Don't go around these kids, I'm telling you, they will ruin your life."
Wow! So much information to soak in at once.
Now I realize what Talia was trying to tell me during class, I drew Ace's attention towards me and now he has laid his claim on me. How do I get out of this problem?
"Don't worry, Talia. I'll be careful around here. I came here to study, I don't even know how my uncle managed to afford this school but I can't waste this opportunity by looking for anybody's attention, you have nothing to worry about." I assured her. She nodded her head and smiled at me.
I just had a feeling; Talia will be my best friend in Riverside High School.
***
I was inside the kitchen making dinner after braiding Vivian's hair, I put on Westlife music and continued chopping the carrots on the chopping board when Vivian walked in.
She walked around to where I kept my phone and turned off the music.
"When you are cooking in this house, you won't be doing anything else but cooking. Last night's meal was horrible because you were too invested in singing then cooking. The next time I catch you playing music while cooking, I'll seize your phone." She told me angrily.
"Yes, Vivian."
She walked out of the kitchen and I exhaled a breath that I didn't know I was holding.
That woman finds anything I do irritating.
She never liked me and her husband saw me as a liability. I wondered why he would send me to a prestigious school like Riverside High School. Something was off about it and my mind kept telling me that something is going on without my knowledge.
But really, I don't care, I will go to school and act like a ghost until I go to college, I can't afford to get into trouble in my senior year, that will be a career killer.
I want to be a neurosurgeon, I know that the money is huge but I believe that I can do it. I just have to do whatever uncle asks me to do and he will continue sponsoring me until I graduate from college.
I have everything planned out, everything will be fine.

Episode 3
Catherine's POV:
I stood before my locker, bringing out my games wear since I joined a club. In Riverside High School it is compulsory to join one or two communities since it brings the students together.
So today will be my first time running in Riverside High School, in my formal school I won the Huston summer trophy with my teammates.
I grabbed the game's clothes and closed my locker. I turned around to go to the restroom and change when I saw Ace and Liam walking towards my direction.
My heart started beating erratically. Since that day we haven't run into each other and seeing him again sends a chill down my spine.
What do I do....what do I do?
Before I could think of a way to escape him, he stood before me. The hallway became ghostly silent, I looked to my left and then my right but the students were just watching to know what would happen.
"Kitten," he purred, "Are you not happy to see me? Huh?"
He brought up his hand and touched my cheek then squeezed it harshly, my face burned with usher tears and embarrassment.
I know how stuff like this works, in my formal school I always love in the shadows, nobody knows me and I saw how people were being bullied. Ace was obviously marking me so that this student could bully me.
"Please." I whispered and closed my eyes, he grabbed my hand and dragged me away from my hallway down to a secluded area where nobody will see him or whatever he was about to do to me.
"How fragile, I am tempted to break you, should I?" He asked in the sick tone of his.
I shook my head and bit hard on my lip.
"Undress." He said, my eyes widened in horror as I discreetly glanced around to see a way out of this mess. "Don't even try to escape me, Kitten. Now undress for me."
The way he said it made my stomach twist.
"Please....please let me go." I begged him, my mouth quivering.
"What should I do with you, Kitten? Will you do it or I'll do it for you." He said harshly. I sucked in a sharp breath and shook my head.
I won't get naked for him, I won't undress just because he told me to.
"One." He counted. "Two."
Even though I didn't know how much of a Bully he is, I heard from Talia that he is a cold hearted bastard.
I can't help but feel that he will undress me if I don't do it myself, I'd rather undress myself than let him touch me, the thought of that alone makes me shiver in disgust.
"I will undress." I whispered, he stopped counting and took two steps away from me then pushed his hands inside his trouser's pocket.
I took a deep breath and placed my game wear on a tree behind me then placed my hand in front of my shirt. I looked up at him and he raised his eyebrow challengingly.
I unbuttoned the first button and cursed myself, cursed myself for looking at him on my first day, cursed myself for ever finding him handsome, behind his physical appearance I can see through the deadly monster inside him.
He is a beast and I need to tread with caution when it comes to him.
I finished unbuttoning my shirt and placed it on the tree beside my games wear. Leaving me only in my bra.
"I've undressed, what else do you want?" I said in a voice that I didn't realize was my own. He wrapped his hand around my throat, cutting off my breath. My eyes widened and I quickly grabbed his hand but he wasn't losing it. I raised my knee up to kick his groin area but he was too quick as he spun me around so that my back was smashed against his chest.
He lost his hand around my neck but he didn't release it all the way before speaking into my ear. "Such a bad move from your side, Kitten. " He said and kissed my neck,my eyes widened as he sucked on my earlobe. "I want to wear those titties, Kitten."
I pushed him away with all the strength that I have,my face burned with anger.
The last thing I'll tolerate is the vulgar way he addresses me.
"You won't be seeing my titties any time soon, Ace. My titties are for my eyes only." I said coldly. He chuckled and stared down at me.
How could he be so handsome?
How could he be so irresistible?
His body was ripping with muscles, I guess it's because he is an athlete and his face, oh God. He looked like a god.
A god in his own Kingdom.
His once playful eyes darkened almost immediately. "I will break you," he promised.
I stood tall, matching his furious gaze with mine.
I won't back down without a fight.
"You won't break me, Ace Hampton. I won't let you break me, I won't let you Bully me and I won't let you make me insecure of myself." I said angrily.
"You are for me, Kitten. Mine to break, mine to use and mine to discard." He said and smirked. "I'll see you in practice."
When he left, I sat down on the ground with my face in my hand.
It was already obvious that my life will be hell in this school.
Ace Hampton has swore to make it hell for me.
After a while, I stood up from the ground and dusted my ass. I quickly wore my shirt and grabbed my games wear from the tree, I was already five minutes late to practice. He made me late!
He is sure going to make my life hell in this school, I just have to be patient. Three months, all I have to do is stay in Riverside High School for just three months and we will go our separate ways, for good.
