CHAPTER 1

( INTO THE MUD )

THE COLLINS RESIDENCE≈CALI**

JoJo’s eyes opened drowsily, and she squinted first, holding her forehead tight.

She’s still on the bed, as tired as hell from yesterday’s school stress.

It didn’t occur to her to check the time till she sighted the sunlight.

It slipped in through her opened window, and her eyes w¡dened.

“How come the sun is out already!” She gasped, grabbing her alarm watch from the small stand.

Her eyes w¡dened to an O when she saw 9:30 staring at her.

“Arrggghhhhhh!!!!!” She s¢ræmed, throwing the alarm away immediately.

She jumped down from the bed and fell, but she stood immediately and yanked off her big Tee.

She was left in only her pants as she rushed into the bathroom.

“Why did the alarm not wake me?, I’m late for professor Yoshi’s class!” She shouted, turning the faucet immediately she got under the shower.

She slipped down her pants and got paste on her toothbrush, she was bathing and brushing at the same time.

She had a quick bath and ran out of the bathroom.

The time is currently 9:36.

“What do I do!” She said frustratingly, not bothering to even cream her skin before throwing on a long jean skirt from her small wardrobe.

She topped it with a big blouse and removed the band in her hair, it fell on her shoulders, all tangled up

She didn’t brush it before getting her backpack.

She slipped on her old sneakers and ran past the mirror, out of the room.

There’s no use looking at the mirror anyways, everyone knows she’s ugly.

She got to the living room and met Victoria (her mum) in the small dinning room, she was placing breakfast on the table.

“Mummy” she smiled.

“Darling, come here” Victoria w¡dened her arms, and JoJo rushed into it.

“You should have woken me up, i told you I have a nine o’clock class” she said.

“You came home exhausted yesterday so I thought you needed the rest” Victoria replied, breaking the hug .

“Wait…your skin looks dry, you didn’t cream?, And your hair!” She said.

“I’m already late” JoJo replied.

“Then have some custard and pie” Victoria said, trying to hold her back.

“No mum, I shouldn’t miss the ten o’clock class too, I’ll see you later!” She said and started rushing out, only to meet Ignatius by the door….her dad who hates her madly.

“Goodmorning dad” she greeted cheerfully, and he pushed her out of the way, then he started walking in.

“Dad….the textbook I need, please…. give me some…money…” She said fearfully, and he turned back to look her her disgustingly.

“Do you even have any idea of how rotten your voice sounds in my ears?, You want money for a textbook?, Go get yourself a better face then I can start thinking of sponsoring your education” he smirked.

“Ignatius!” Victoria shouted, walking to him.

JoJo was facing the ground, unable to look him in the eye.

“What?, You should have given birth to an angel instead of an ugly thing, I’m not even sure if I’m her father!” He shouted.

“How could you say that Ignatius!, Stop hurting my baby!, It’s unfair!!!” Victoria shouted, and he slapped her immediately.

She staggered and fell on the ground.

“Mummy!” JoJo quickly bent beside her and held her.

“Don’t ever talk back at me” Ignatius said and faced JoJo.

“Stay off my lane, I hate your presence” he said hatefully before entering his room.

“Mummy are you ok?” JoJo asked, and Victoria smiled before looking at her, her cheek so red from the slap.

“I’m fine” she said, and JoJo helped her up .

She immediately dipped her hand into her jean skirt pocket and brought out five thousand dollar notes.

“Get the textbook with this” she said.

“Where did you get this from?”

“Just take it, get the textbook ok?” Victoria said, and JoJo sniffed back her tears before taking the money, then she hugged her.

“I love you so much mummy”.

“I love you more darling, go fast, I added lunch money to the money, eat from it”Victoria pecked her, and JoJo smiled before leaving the house.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY**

JoJo ran into the school fast, and she didn’t stop till she got to the front of humanities LT, she’s studying humanities.

Her house is not that far from school, so she takes it upon herself to run to school every morning, there’s always no money for taxi.

She looked at the LT, holding her backpack tightly to her back while thinking of what’ll befall her today again.

Everyday is always bad for her, she’s the prey to all the students especially THE SUNFLOWERS.

She looked at her arm and inhaled when she saw the wound on it, it’s from yesterday’s bullying, only God knows what’ll happen today again.

It was exactly 9:50 when she stepped into the hallway, and her legs started shaking on the ground immediately.

The students shifted their attention to her, and they started laughing immediately they saw her.

👥 Her skirt!

👥 Is she going to church or what?

👥 The blouse must be from Egypt

👥 How can a girl’s hair be so messy?

👥 Same sneakers, it must be smelling so much!

👥 How can a girl be ugly and dirty at the same time.

👥Gross!, Eew!

👥 She makes me wanna puke.

One of them even spit on her, and it landed on her sneakers.

Still, she kept her face down and continued walking, she’s used to it.

She was about to take another step when she got pushed from behind, and she fell on her face, hurting her arms, forehead and knees.

Her backpack fell, and the weak zip fell off, her books scattered on the floor.

Everyone in the hallway laughed as she sat up on the ground, looking at the hostile faces around.

Everyone hates her here, cos she’s a ugly dullard who’s polluting the school with her face according to them.

She held back her tears, and THE SUNFLOWERS appeared in front of her.

They’re the ones who pushed her.

Immediately she saw them, her fears got raised to power ten.

They’re a group of three girls, hot s*xy ones who are every guy’s crush in the campus, they’re her greatest bullies.

Their expensive perfume hung in the air, and v×rgiπia squatted in front of her.

She’s their leader.

JoJo was unable to look her in the eye, so she kept her face on the ground.

Her wounds were already bleeding slowly.

“You don’t get irritated when you look at the mirror?” v×rgiπia asked with a devilish demeanor

“She wouldn’t dare have a mirror at home, trust me” Cora replied behind v×rgiπia, and everyone laughed.

Cora is the second member

Tears slipped out of JoJo’s eyes slowly.

“Aww, she’s crying” v×rgiπia laughed.

“Maybe she needs candy” Abigail giggled.

Abigail is the third member.

“Candy?, It wasn’t made for a spooky faced girl like you!” v×rgiπia spat and stood, taking a bottled water from Cora.

“Gosh… I just hate seeing your creepy face” she said, opening it.

She poured all the water on JoJo’s head, and her minions laughed loudly behind.

JoJo cried more, and they only laughed more.

“Spooky face” Abigail giggled, marching her hair with her heels.

“Please…stop doing this” JoJo cried.

“And why should we stop!” Cora smirked.

JoJo looked up at them at once, but their scary faces made her return her face to the ground.

Her wounds hurt, and her clothes were already w-t.

“LOVERBOYZ!!!!” A girl s¢ræmed out her guts.

“My idols!” v×rgiπia shouted.

“F**k!” Abigail s¢ræmed.

“My princes!” Cora yelled, and their heels made loud sounds as they rushed away

The students in the hallway ran past JoJo, and some even marched her knowingly as she kept sitting on the ground.

LOVERBOYZ are the three stars of the school, singers who hosts concerts in the school hall every Friday.

Lustre, Luke and Walton.

Lustre is the leader though, but no one has ever seen his face cos he performs with a mask on.

No one knows anything about him or his identity.

Only Luke and Walton comes to school, Lustre only appears masked up on stage during their concerts.

When virtually everyone has ran out of the hallway, JoJo made to stand, but someone passed by immediately, matching all her books as he walked.

She kept sitting, watching as he walked, no one needs to tell her who he is.

He stopped when he got to a point, and he looked back

It’s indeed him, Butter.

Butter is another singer in the school, though he sings alone…a soloist.

He’s the rival of LOVERBOYZ, and he’s one of the people craving to know who Lustre is.

He’s dashingly handsome!

His voice is angelic and sweet at the same time, but definitely not as sweet as Lustre’s.

Even with his face hidden, Lustre has more fans and crushes.

Butter looked at JoJo blankly before walking back to her, then he started picking her books one by one till he picked them all, then he pointed them at her.

She kept looking at him, not knowing what to do at first.

The great Butter just picked her books!

She slowly raised her hand to take the books, and immediately she took them, he started walking away.

“Thanks” she muttered.

👥 Butter!!!!

👥Baby Butter!!

👥My butterflies giver!!

👥 k-ses !!

👥 I love you!!!!

His fans started s¢ræming crazily, but he didn’t even smile before entering the class.

JoJo quickly stood and checked the time.

10:15!

Her eyes w¡dened, and despite her wounds and w-t clothes, she ran to class.

Immediately she entered, all eyes fell on her, and she stopped walking, water was dropping from her clothes to the ground.

The lecturer is already in class.

“If you’re a dullard, you should at least come early” the lecturer said harshly.

“I’m… I’m sorry” she muttered, and the students laughed as she walked to the last seat at the back.

It has been left for her, no one else sits there cos they claimed it has been infected by her ugliness.

She sat and got her books, but throughout the class, nothing entered her memory

Everyone kept answering questions, but she started crying slowly when she couldn’t answer any.

How would she when she doesn’t understand???

The class ended an hour later, and students started moving out of the class.

“Hey Butter!” v×rgiπia waved at him.

She has a dangerous crush on him, but he’s just not interested in girls.

He snubbed her as usual and left the class.

“Can’t believe it!” She stumped her heels.

“Calm down v×rgiπia, he’s always yours just like Draco is mine” Abigail said, holding her right arm.

v×rgiπia smiled.

“I can’t wait for LOVERBOYZ concert tonight, to see my Lustre” Cora said, and they all laughed as they left the class.

JoJo stood from her seat and decided to do the only thing she could think of, though she was already sure of failure.

She walked to the middle of the class to meet Snow Denmark.

Snow is the most brilliant girl in the department, but she has never spoken to anyone.

Many guys want her cos of her hotness, but she’s only after studying and frowning.

JoJo tapped her, and she removed her earpieces from her ears to look up.

“Hi” JoJo said awkwardly, and she kept looking at her like she’s poop.

She composed herself before speaking, her tangled w-t hair scattered all-over her face.

“I don’t understand what the lecturer taught just now, can you please explain to….

She hasn’t finished speaking when Snow stood and packed her books.

She left the class without looking back, and JoJo gave her lip a slightly painful bite.

She expected this, so she started walking out of the class, her wounds hurting badly.

Immediately she stepped out of the class, she bumped into someone, and a camera fell.

“I’m so sorry!” She said quickly, bending down to pick it, but the person was faster.

He picked it, and they both stood to face each other.

It’s Draco, the crazily brilliant guy, he’s even brilliant than the lecturers, he’s the demigod of humanities department, he’s handsome!

“I’m sorry…” JoJo said.

He glared at her before walking away.

JoJo sighed frustratedly.

7PM★ STANFORD CONCERT HALL**

LOVERBOYZ was written in word lights around the hall, and it’s shinning and glittering with the dark night as students walked into the hall in groups.

Everyone has LOVERBOYZ bulb with them, shining red and white.

They’ll be performing tonight, and fans obviously can’t wait to see masked Lustre together with Luke and Walton.

JoJo got to the front of the hall and smiled widely.

She wouldn’t miss LOVERBOYZ concert for anything, she’s a big fan of them, and Lustre is her bias.

It looks like it’ll rain tonight, so she’s glad she came early without getting drenched.

As suspected, rain started falling in droplets till it turned heavy.

JoJo smiled and looked at her bulb before trying to walk in, but she met the devils by the door. SUNFLOWERS.

“Oh, miss ugly also attends concerts” v×rgiπia said meanly, folding her arms under her b**bs.

They started walking closer to her, and she shifted back fearfully.

“How dare you even step foot here?, It wasn’t made for ugly faces!” Cora spat.

JoJo kept walking backwards, and they kept coming.

“Maybe to watch your Lustre, Cora she might be crushing on him, who knows” Abigail laughed.

“No I’m …. I’m …not” JoJo stuttered almost inaudibly, her voice shaking badly with fear.

“You have no right to be here!” Cora said, and they all grabbed her hair in different s₱0ts at the same time.

Her scalp stung.

“Ouch!, Please let me…go!” She winced as the daughters of Jezebel dragged her roughly to the sharp end of the balcony.

“I promise to leave quietly… Please let me…

Cora slapped her before she could finish, then Abigail did the same.

v×rgiπia topped it up, and they finally let her go, but they immediately pushed her, and she fell down the low balcony into the rain.

She landed into muddy water, drinking some in the process.

“Let’s go babes” v×rgiπia said and walked into the hall with her girls.
