Chapter 2 First encounter

• Rissa
• The attention I received from the other students was one I couldn't prevent.
• I would have been such a lonely scholar if not for Zoe and Alex. They got closer and met the real me.
• The fun and crazy me.
• Our friendship became official last year and since then, we've become inseparable.
• We even celebrated our sweet sixteen party together.
• And so, my two besties were hanging around the parking lot right next to where the driver had parked.
• I quickly jumped out of the car and we engaged in a tight and cozy hug.
• "You smell so good, Rissa!" Zoe beamed as her cheeks grew red hot.
• She wore an outrageous makeup on her face and it definitely wasn't the typical look Zoe used to have.
• "Why's that on your face?" I asked as we skim across the parking lot to the school building.
• "My sister's back from Canada and she's dying to practice her makeover skills on someone so I volunteered my innocent and pure face" She answered with a shrug.
• Alex bursted out laughing.
• "I can barely see your dimples".
• Zoe and I shared an amused look.
• "So, I heard your parents are back, Rissa" Alex said but it sounded more like a question.
• "Yeah...they came back few days ago but we barely got to talk. If only I can order myself a pair of mom and dad that'd spend time with me more often. Its getting quite depressing" I peeved feeling a bit down.
• She placed her hand on my shoulder and just as she was about to say something, loud noises of car engines dashing into the compound erupted.
• Students clustered and we looked back to watch the upcoming scenario.
• It was guards on uniform holding armed weapons. Then three blue Ferrari cars drove smoothly into the premises and parked at the empty spots the same time.
• "Is that?----"
• "The president's children" I completed Zoe's statement and she gasped.
• "Sweet cars. I would do anything to ride one of those!" Alex breaks in excitedly.
• "But your dad got you a Lamborghini last month" Zoe pointed out.
• "Its outdated!" She rasps and we all giggled.
• "And as for you, Rissa. You promised to come to school in your new buggati once school starts" Zoe blurted and I scoffed.
• "Everyone's going to think I'm a show off. Why the heck would I bring It to school??" I groused rubbing my forehead.
• We resumed to staring at the president's kids and realized they had just stepped down from their rides.
• They were three kids, Madison, Diana and the first son, Lucas.
• Lucas Is the hottest and wealthiest guy In the whole school.
• He's practically every girl's first dream guy in this part of the world, then the next were celebrities, singers and actors.
• I would admit that I would date him if I had the chance but I don't put much mind to that cause mom won't let me.
• We kept staring at them as they walked gracefully to the school building.
• Their entrance never gets boring!

• During lunch hours, Alex and I made our way to gym hall where we had gymnastics rehearsals.
• We were both into gymnastic while Zoe preferred swimming.
• As we approached our corner, we realized we were late already and other gymnasts had arrived.
• The girls surrounded someone who was on a mat doing a very difficult pose. Her legs were barely touching the floor!
• Gosh!!! This has to be a film trick.
• How on earth could she do that?!
• I looked closely to see who the girl was and lo and behold - its Diana!
• Yeah...the president's first child.
• As in, Lucas's elder sister.
• Our eyes met and she smirked.
• She's my competition. We both despise each other and that's because she feels like she's good at everything.
• They're people of high class and everything but I wonder why she's stooped so low to bully me!
• I mean, it could be a really bad thing that she hates me.
• I totally forgot about this issue thinking it had ended last semester but here we are again, with the hating...

• I got home and headed straight for the house. Pineapple was running around the place the moment she saw me.
• She's so furry and extremely cute. I ambled into the house with it following closely behind me.
• The house was dead quiet as it has always been but everywhere was spotless and glittered.
• There's no doubt the maids has tidied up the whole mansion.
• I went upstairs clutching onto the light schoolbag. All it contained was a notepad and my cellphones.
• I walked past a room next to mine which was surprisingly open. Its been ages since the room was touched.
• What's going on?...
• I went into the room and met three maids cleaning it up.
• Am I getting a sibling??
• I heard footsteps behind me and I quickly turned to take a look.
• It was mom speaking to someone on her phone.
• I can't believe she's at home. I thought she would be busy at the office.
• "What's going on mom? Why are you getting the room cleaned?" I asked obviously aware that she's the one who asked for the room to be fixed.
• She let out a nervous chuckle.
• "Please, go to your room and freshen up first. Then you come to your father's library so we can talk, alright?" She said softly and I nodded.
• I started going to the room with pineapple trailing after me.
