Lisa's POV
"New house, new school, new job." I muttered in frustration and stopped to look at myself in the mirror, I was looking like a new girl.
I was looking like a president's daughter, I chuckled at the thought of that as I picked my school bag from my bed.
What should I expect from Preston high school? Well, absolutely nothing! It should be normal as every other school but there was something different.
All my life my mom made sure I was a day student but now being in a boarding school obviously seemed different, I should get used to it but the thought of not seeing my parents each day made me feel nauseated.
I didn't know if I should thank my mom for that? I was already a senior finishing in less than one year but she wanted me to go to a rich school.
I came out of my room only to see my Dad and Mom kissing each other romantically.
Splendid! I hope nothing would ever separate my family. I loved them with all my heart. I cleared my throat but they still didn't notice me.
"Mom," I called out and they flinched a little when they saw me.
"Ohh, I didn't know you were awake already." Mom said a little bit embarrassed.
"No, I just came out of my room now, I closed my eyes, I didn't see anything." I replied and they laughed.
"Guess what,"
"What? I hate guessing and besides I'm always wrong." I said and mom laughed.
"We've got you an iPhone." Dad made the announcement and I screamed with joy as he handed the phone to me.
"Even though we are poor, we've tried our best to make sure you look nice, we don't want you to look like a poor girl." Mom said and I sat down shocked.
"Don't you think this is way too much?" I asked.
"No, it's not, I used all the money from my savings to get you this iPhone, saying 'thank you' won't hurt." Dad answered, I knew he felt bad but I still felt buying me an expensive phone would cost him a lot.
"Thanks but I'm....."
Mom cut in immediately. "Some people say when you live in Rome, behave like Romans, so you're schooling in a rich school, behave like a rich girl." She began. "I know it's difficult but you'll love it." She added.
"I can't, we're poor, everything we have now is through loan, the car, this house, almost everything, I can't pretend that I'm rich when I'm not." I said and they both looked at each other.
"Are you ready to go?" Dad asked with a smile. I knew he wanted to change the topic and I let out a sigh.
"Yes." I nodded.
"But you've not had your breakfast." Mom reminded me.
"Mom, I don't feel like eating and I'm sure the school would have a cafeteria, since you don't want to see my face again, I'll eat there." I said in a sad tone.
She couldn't say a word, she felt I was an introvert and she wanted me to actually socialize with people. I followed dad outside the door to his garage. He opened the door of the car for me and I smiled at him. I sat at the back as he drove out of the compound.
"Dad, mind if I ask you something?" I asked and he nodded. "Do you really think I should go to Preston high school?" I asked him.
"Lisa," He called out. My father was one of the best fathers in the whole world, he listened to me more than my mom so it was more comfortable talking to him.
"Yeah...."
"It's the best place for you to study without getting pregnant or becoming a drug addict, that was the same reason I removed you from Royal high school and besides I borrowed a huge sum of money to make sure you attend Preston high school." He reminded me and I nodded.
Yeah, he was right, ever since Jack got Angela pregnant, I didn't feel secure and no one did either. He didn't even feel remorse for it because his parents had a lot of money to spend and they easily bribed the school.
"You're right dad, I'm sure that there won't be bad guys in Preston high school."
"Lisa, if there's anyone disturbing you, don't hesitate to tell me." He advised and I nodded. Yeah, I should probably call him when I was in trouble but it sounded silly. I want a kid, I am all grown-up now.
"No problem dad." I replied.
"Fine, I'm going to come over to your school later in the afternoon and tell the principal to let you come home only for today." Dad said and I beamed with joy.
"Thanks Dad, you're the best in the world." I commended and he smiled.
I didn't even know we had gotten to the school's gate. I was so engrossed in the discussion. He kissed me on my forehead before I came out of the car. He drove as I waved to him.
I was just too kind, I got my rights trampled on easily and that was what I hated most. Most people took advantage of my weakness and used it as their strength.
I walked into the school with no expression on my face. Some boys looked at me and I ignored all the stares from the boys. I brought out my iPhone and wanted to dial my dad's number.
I wanted to tell him to come back and take me to another school when I heard someone call my name.
I turned back and saw a girl smiling at me. I was surprised that she knew my name. "Wait, how did you know my name?" I asked and she chuckled.
"You've forgotten that you wrote your name on your bag." She said and I remembered.
"Ohh, I'm really sorry."
"It's nothing, I can see you're lost." She said and I nodded. "I'm Kate Davis." She added.
"Lisa Smith." I replied.
"Isn't that supposed to be Smithson?" She asked.
"I hate it when people call me Smithson, it's Smith." I answered, irritated and she seemed to notice my face.
"Sorry if you got pissed off," She apologized and I nodded. "You're a senior student in this school." She said and I gasped.
Wtf! How did she know? "How did you know, you're so fucking creepy."
"The seniors use a jacket and you're using one now, the juniors don't use a jacket here." She answered and I nodded looking at the students.
She was right! Why didn't I notice that? 'Idiot' I cursed under my breath.
"What did you say?"
She was definitely confused.
"Well, we're in the same class." She said.
I was actually tired of talking, so I looked behind me and found some guys still staring at me.
"Why are those guys staring at me?" I asked and she chuckled looking at them.
"They're also seniors, they're admiring your beauty." She answered and I frowned.
"I know guys, they don't just admire beauty, they think of corrupt things." I said as we walked to the class. "So how's the school like?" I asked, putting my phone on silent as I dropped it in my bag.
"It's nice, it's just like a foreign school though, one of the best and richest schools in this town." She said and I managed to put on a pleased expression.
"Well, I know that, is there anything like rape, bullying, suicide?" I asked.
She stared at me with no expression on her face.
Lisa's POV
"Well, I know that, is there anything like rape, bullying, suicide?" I asked.
"Yes, bullying, well when I came to this school newly, a guy committed suicide but it's all over now, no one is commiting suicide and there are no rape cases again. I think someone is covering the rape cases with his influence." She answered and I nodded.
At least, I would be free from Royal college, I smiled again as we walked into the class. I began to feel embarrassed as everyone looked in our direction and it felt annoying.
"Hey Kate, is that your new babysitter?" A girl asked as I dropped my bag on the table and brought out my iPhone.
I ignored her and connected my earpiece to my phone to play cool music. I just didn't want to hear them saying bad things about me, I sat down near the wall, it was the only empty seat with no bag on the locker.
"Lisa," Kate called out and I removed the earpiece and kept my phone in my bag with a displeased expression.
"Are they done with their childish talks?" I asked, obviously irritated and annoyed.
"Yes, but there's one person you need to stay away from." She said and paused, I looked at her and frowned.
"You're making me scared."
"He's Richard Peterson." She said and I chuckled.
"I don't stay away from angels."
"Don't behave like you're perfect cause you're clearly not." She said with jealousy, I actually sensed the anger in her tone.
"I'm not perfect, no one is, I'm just...." I paused for a second and looked at her. "Forget it, so why should I stay away from him?" I asked.
"He's the School Bad boy and he'll make your life miserable if you meet him."
"Now this is actually scaring, what do you mean by Bad boy, does he rape girls?" I asked and she shook her head negatively.
"I don't know about that."
"Hope he doesn't make people commit suicide?" I was totally scared.
"No, he'll just make your life a living hell and play with your feelings." She explained.
"I can't love him."
"Well, that's easy to say for someone who hasn't seen him, his handsomeness alone is something that draws girls to him," She began. "His smile is like the rays of sun, his lips are just pink that you imagine yourself kissing him for a long time." She added.
"Are you in love with him?" I asked her and she smiled. She let out a slight grin.
"We get along so easily, we should probably be best friends" She suggested and I laughed.
"You ignored the question so I'll take yes for an answer." I said and she sighed.
"Just stay away from him, he'll make your life miserable." She advised me.
"Why do I feel you're asking me to stay away from him because you love him?" I asked her and she scratched her head looking for a reply.
"It's nothing like that." She finally answered.
"Look, I've had enough, I'm calling my dad right now to come and get me out of this school, I hate it here already, all the stares from the guys, I'm fed up." I said and she stared at me dumbfounded.
I brought out my phone and walked to the door. As I wanted to call, I mistakenly hit someone, not just someone but a handsome guy who stared at me.
"Don't you look at where you're going or are you blind?" He asked angrily.
"There was no need for the insult, I'm sorry." I apologized.
"I didn't insult you, I only asked a question and also, sorry for yourself," He replied. "You're even using an iPhone." He noticed and snatched it from my hand holding it.
"Can I have my phone back now?" I asked.
"Unfortunately, no." He answered.
"Just give me my phone." I said sternly.
"You're just another poor girl who was given a scholarship to study in this school." He cursed and I laughed.
I hated to pretend like I was a rich girl but it was definitely going to be helpful in this situation. "Your thinking faculty must be low, that's if you even have brains to think, poor girls don't use iPhones, get that into your thick skull." I fired back and the class gasped.
"I like this girl already." Two guys from the class said and I smiled.
"You're only embarrassing yourself, rich girls won't ask for their phone back instead they'll get a new iPhone." He said.
Maybe he was right but I didn't care, "Who are you anyway? Who do you think you are? Are you that bad and arrogant?" I asked angrily, almost crying as the class stared at us.
"Well, I'm Richard Peterson, your worst nightmare, I've seized your phone so don't dare ask for it." He answered and my eyes widened.
Richard's POV
She looked at me angrily. "Richard, can I have my phone back?" She tried hard to smile but I knew she was definitely upset.
"You're beautiful and your name is Lisa." I said and the class looked at her. "Where do you come from? I'm sure you're from the slums, you beautiful pig." I teased, holding her phone carelessly. The entire class laughed.
"If that phone falls, your entire life falls." She threatened with anger and I chuckled.
"Are you threatening me?" I asked.
"I'm telling you and not threatening you, things said in anger cause bad things" She answered and eyed me.
"You look like a witch looking for prey, I'm not giving you back your phone."
"Please, I'll do anything." She pleaded and I rolled my eyes, I looked at her and smiled as a thought popped into my head.
"Let's do something, our teacher will be around soon, just give me something, something special and I'll return your phone to you." I negotiated.
"Unbelievable."She muttered and rolled her eyes in shock. "Richard, I don't know you but I have been told to avoid you, just give me my phone. What do you want?" She asked and I sighted a ring on her finger.
"Give me that ring." I ordered and she blinked her eyes.
"I don't understand."
"Give me the ring on your finger, I want it." I ordered and she hurriedly gave it to me.
"Please don't misplace it, my mom will be angry with me if she doesn't find it." She replied as I gave her the iPhone.
We both scurried to our seats as the female teacher walked in with her textbook. "If you're not my student, leave the class." She ordered and some of the students left the class immediately.
"What does she teach?" Lisa asked Kate who pretended to be dumb.
"She teaches Chemistry." I answered and she hissed.
I looked at Lisa who also looked at me and frowned. She was angry with me but I didn't care, I loved frustrating girls.
I playfully kissed her ring and she eyed me with anger.
Richard's POV
"Mike, focus on the subject." Mrs Nuella ordered and I nodded.
"Yes ma'am." I answered.
"Who's this beautiful newcomer in my class?" She asked.
"She's Lisa, Lisa.... Lisa.." Sarah said, stammering. She didn't know her surname.
"Can't she talk for herself?" Mrs Nuella asked and Lisa stood up with a smile.
"I am Lisa Smith, former student of ........" Mrs Nuella cut in immediately.
"So why did you leave your former school?" She asked her and I noticed her face turn pale.
"Nothing, I just wanted an exposure." Lisa answered. I could tell that she lied, something was definitely bothering her.
The class came to an end with the hard questions on chemistry that Mrs Nuella asked. I was surprised that Lisa got all the answers correctly, she seemed to be the brilliant type.
"I need my ring back." Lisa demanded walking towards me after Mrs Nuella walked out of the class.
"This ring must be precious to you because as a rich girl, you can always get a new one" I said jokingly and the class laughed.
"Just give her back her ring." Lewis muttered with fear.
"Stay out of this if you don't want me to leak your sex tape to the school WhatsApp group," I warned him and smiled at Lisa. "If you want your ring back, you'll have to perform my wishes, I have tenym wishes and you'll have to do as I say with no complaint."
"And why should I do that?" She asked.
"You're in no place for negotiation, It's not like you have a choice.mmm," I told him and stood up. "If you want your ring, you will have to do as I say." I added and walked out of the class.
"Asshole." Alex muttered as he grabbed my butts playfully
Alex had been my best friend since my junior year, he was the kind of friend who would never betray me for anything and I trusted him so much.
"Hey, that's molestation." I joked and he chuckled softly.
"You never seem to amaze me, you're trying to play your shot with this new girl, I pray you'll save her when Anna finds out about her. She'll be in huge danger." He added and I frowned.
"Well, I'm not in love with the new girl." I was reminded.
"I didn't say you were in love with her, Playboys don't fall in love with their victims, they just play with their victims heart and break it." He said and I laughed.
"You're making it sound like Playboys are criminals.?," I replied and he chuckled and let out a smile. "I'm always happy whenever you smile, you're my best friend for life." He said as I smiled and hugged him.
"I've got your back bro." I replied.
~MIRA~
After the class, I stepped out of the class, heading to the school's restroom and Lewis came running after me.
"Hi Lisa, how are you doing?"
I didn't want to be rude to him so I answered with all honesty and humility. "Kind of bad and sad. It's so annoying that Richard wants to bully me on my first day in school."
He smiled. "Well, I'm sorry about that. You look like someone I know..."
I stared at his face but still couldn't remember him. I can't remember seeing his face before. He looked very strange.
"I'm sorry but I don't think we've met before. I don't think I've seen your face before." I replied.
He chuckled softly and placed his hands on my shoulder. "Have you forgotten Lewis? The new dude back in Royal High that you gave blowjob to after a boring class..."
OMG, I wanted to scream.
Not my past coming back at me without even mercy. I had totally forgotten about the blowjob I gave him. It was in class after a boring lecture and I just unzipped his trousers, brought out his dick and licked the edges, taking everything in my mouth. How could I forget his face?
"Fine, I remember you now. What do you want?"
He ran a hand through his hair. "Nothing much, do you still take money for sex? I can pay you right now if we fuck in the restroom, I'm sure..."
I cut in quickly. "I don't do that again. I'm now a changed person." I lied.
I just didn't want to do it with him. I couldn't trust him.
With that, I went to the restroom, did my thing, came out and went to look for Kate.
"What's wrong with that idiot?" I asked Kate with an angry look as soon as I saw heading down the corridor.
"That's how he does anyway, he feels like he's on top of the world with his so-called girlfriend and that's why he's my crush, I can do anything for him." Kate said and I rolled my eyes in amazement.
"Girlfriend?" I was surprised.
"You seemed shocked, he looks like a guy who hardly falls in love, I pray he's not playing with Anna's heart and I just pray she doesn't find out about you." She answered and my heart beat slowly.
"And why is that?"
"She's more than a girlfriend of Richard, she's the daughter of a rich businessman. It's an arranged thing, I don't think they love each other but their parents want them to get married in future because of business." Kate explained.
"But that's bad." I muttered and Kate looked at me confused.
"What's bad?" She asked.
"Bad? Did I just say bad? Uhh, yeah, it's bad to arrange a marriage between two people." I answered and she nodded.
"Yeah, it's really bad, I don't really fancy that, I don't even know if that still exists." She said and Richard walked towards us with a smirk on his face.
"Gossiping right?" He asked and pulled a strand of my hair. I looked at him with a stern face as he giggled with excitement.
"I want my ring back." I demanded and he chuckled.
"Not so fast, have you forgotten my ten wishes?" He asked.
"Ohh great, ten wishes, can we get started so I can get my ring back." I answered with a frown.
"You look more beautiful when you frown". He said and my eyes widened.
"You jerk, don't tell me you've been staring at me the whole day." I screamed at him in annoyance.
"Hey calm down, my wish is...." He said and paused looking at me with a smile.
"What's your first wish?" I asked, impatiently.
"My first wish is to get me a glass of water from the cafeteria" He answered.
"What? But I don't know where the cafeteria is. Richard Peterson, I've had enough already, don't comprehend issues.. I just need my ring back."
"It's not my concern, find the cafeteria by yourself and get me a glass of water." He ordered and I shrugged, turning to Kate.
"Will you follow me? I really don't know where the cafeteria is."
"I can't follow you, I think you better go alone." She said and I rolled my eyes.
"Smithson,l" He called out and I punched him in the face.
"Don't ever call me Smithson, it's Lisa Smith. Repeat the same mistake and I'll make sure I attend your funeral." I threatened with anger as I walked out of the class to look for the cafeteria.
