Chapter one
Once upon a time, there lived a girl named Cinderella. Her mom was dead and her father married another woman. As the story goes, her father died and she end up as a maid by her stepmother and sisters. One day, the fairy god mother came to her and transformed her into a beautiful lady. She went to the ball and dance with the prince. The prince then fell in love with her and they live happily ever after.
“The end”. I said to my sister Juliana.
” What? That can’t be”.
“Go to bed Julia. I’m tired. I can’t keep telling you Cinderella story over again”. I straighten my gown. ” By the way, why do you like the story that much?” She smiled showing her teeth while have almost fallen finish.
“I…… I just like it. I might be able to find my Prince charming”.
” In your dream. Look Julia, I’ve to sleep. I’ve a test tomorrow”
“Fine, but you must promise to tell me the little mermaid story”
“Fine, now leave”.
” Piss. As if her room look that good. I’ll tell Charlie to tell me”.
“Fine. Go and meet him. I’ve to sleep. Good night 🌃”. I slept on the bed and heard her left. Prince charming? I thought. Well, maybe it’s Harrell. The school charmer. Also the guy I’ve been having crush on since elementary school. Before I knew it, I was snoring loudly.
“Kelly wake up”. Charlie shouted. ” Oh goodness. Look at your room”.
“Morning”. I rub my eyes.
” Just go straight to the bathroom before mom comes up. I’ll tidy up your room. It’s all messed up”.
“It’s morning”. I yawn. ” Wow”. I got up and entered the bathroom 🛁. Then start my daily life.
My name is Kelly Kent. Age? Fifteen. Not that tall nor short. I’m just a normal girl. I live with my mom and siblings in Las Vegas. I’ve a small sister named Juliana and two older brother named Charlie and Wayne. They are in college while I’m still in my fourth year of highschool. My favourite colour is blue but I’m scared of water especially the sea. Well that was because of some incident which happened when I was young. Our one family rule is not to fall in love until you’re ripe of age but I wonder if I would be able to follow this rule. I was ready for school. Breakfast was toast with fried egg. We aren’t that rich nor poor. You can call us average people. We do struggle but not to the extent of being poor.
“Did you do the laundry Kelly?” Mom asked.
“Yes”. I wore my shoe.
” Have you done your assignment Julia?”
“No”. All of us were shocked.
“No? Why?” Mom asked.
“Because I got no money to buy the material”.
” You should have asked me. Now bring out your homework before I smack you”. Mom was very strict towards us. I almost gave her the nickname witch when she beat me for not washing the dishes.
“Bye”. I got up. ” I’ll take the bus 🚍 . My bicycle 🚴 has flat tyre. I’ll fix it when I’m back”. I ran out.
I was late again.
“You again Kelly!” Mr Murray roared. “I won’t take any excuse this time. Go and clean the court room”.
” Yes”. I got up lazily.
“Can’t you get up!” He shouted and I ran. It seems every one were mean to me. As I was going, my eyes met Harrell. He was talking to group of girls. Seems like he’s having fun. I went to clean the court room. After that, I was back to class. It seems like I’ve missed a lot of classes. I sat.
“Miss Kent you’re late”. The teacher said.
” I…..I was told to clean the court room”.
“OK”. The class started. Even though I’ve aced all the material last year, I still took some note. I was brilliant in my studies. One thing I lack is just that I’m not smart like others. It was lunch time. I was with Belle.
” I messed up right”. I said.
“Kind off. You missed a lot of classes. Here”. She hand me a book. ” I wrote some for you”.
“Thanks”. I smiled.
” Have you heard?”
“Heard what?”
“Harrell broke up with Maggie”.
” Oh my what?”
“The school is in chaos cause she’s the director daughter”.
“That means he’s gonna drop out of school?”
“Kind of and you know what. He’s from a poor family”.
” What? No way”.
“It’s true. His mom works as a cleaner. His dad was a drunkard. So his parents ended up being separated. He lives only with his mom”.
“Wow. All this looks like a dream to me. Don’t tell this to anyone”.
” Sure”
“God. I’m confused”.
” Of course you should. No one knew he’s from a poor family”.
“No one?”
“Yes. I just find out yesterday”.
” Can you do me a favour Belle? Don’t tell anyone about what you just said”.
“My mouth are zip”.
” Let eat up and get going”.
.
Belle and I were at the library studying and Harrell entered. The look was on his face wasn’t that good. He looked so mad and angry 😡. My heart skipped a bit as he was towards us. Suddenly, he grab Belle by her collar shirt in a tight grip.
“Put me down!” She said. “You’re choking me”.
” What did you just say? Put you down?”
“What the hell are you doing?” I said and he stared at me. I couldn’t speak cause I’ve never seen him mad like this. None could see us because we were covered by the bookshelves. He turned to Belle.
“I hate people trying to pry into my life. How dare you spread rumour about my family! How dare you!” He shouted so loud. I’m sure the near by students would have heard him. Belle looked so scared.
“I…… I…..”. She was choking.
” Let her go!” I use force to separate them. I think I heard him gro-n. “Are you okay Belle?” She nodded. “Thank goodness. Let’s go quickly”. I pulled her away.
.
” Kelly Kent!!!” The principal Mr. Dugan roared at me. I was standing helpless. “Violence in school is prohibited. Aren’t you aware of that?”
“I was”. My face was down. I couldn’t dare looked up at him.
” Then why? Why hit Harrell?”
“Sir, it was an accident. I___”
“You don’t have any right to talk”. He cut in. ” You’re hereby punished for three week. You’re gonna scrub all the school windows and I mustn’t see any garbages on the school ground. Okay!”
“Yes!” I said louder.
“Now run to your class”. He loose his tie.
” Sure”. I left. “Weirdo”. I sat on a bench. ” You’re such a fool Kelly”. I hit myself. “Gosh. What am I gonna do. What if Maggie and her crew bullied me then I’ll be done for. Gosh!” I hit myself once again. Harrell hand was bleeding. Oh lord save me. Then my mind flash back to the scene. What did he mean back there. Rumour? What rumour? Don’t tell me…… Shit Belle. I got out and left.
