CAMILA
Walking into the school gently, I glanced around in awe seeing the decorations in the school. It's really a beautiful school. Well what should I expect, it's owned by the Governor after all. I walked towards the principal's office with my map to do the necessary registration.Looking into the map towards my class, I gasped when I bumped into someone."I'm sorry" I apologized immediately."Really?" The person sneered and almost immediately, I felt the push making me fall to the ground weakly."I'm sorry" I mumbled trying to stand up but the grasp on my hair made me fall weakly to the floor."Let go" I whimpered trying to push the hands off but the hand held my hair firmer."Please" I begged whimpered as the person pulled on my hair tighter."On your knees" the person ordered and I realized it's a girl.Why's she telling me to go on my knees?"Let go" I ordered with all courage in me.The person let go and when I thought I was free, I felt the push making me fall flatly to the ground. What? On my first day? Maybe dad's right. I turned on the floor to see two girls smirking staring at me."Stop it" I mumbled trying to stand up but they pushed me with their legs and I sat on the ground weakly. Students gathered around but no one was taking pictures."Heyy" one of the girls laughed waving her hands."What do you want?" I asked weakly.One of the girls laughed walking around."Samantha? She's asking me what I want, isn't that downgrading?" She laughed bending a little."She's just being ignoramus Chloe" the Samantha said and I stared at the Chloe.Why does her name sound familiar? I tried remembering where I heard the name but I only heard a faint voice. I batted my eyelashes trying to get out of my trance."Punishment yet Samantha?" Chloe asked proudly."You can't punish me" I said firmly trying to stand up."I apologized already, why do you still want to punish me?" I asked standing up."Woah" students cheered and I regretted it immediately.Maybe she's never been confronted for students to be surprised I'm confronting her."Bitch" she screamed and I gasped when I felt her hand up."Chloe!!!!" A voice yelled and her hand stopped midair."What are you doing?" The voice growled coming closer.I sniffed as the footsteps became clearer and the most beautiful face I've ever seen came to my vision. Him? He looks familiar. Yes, very familiar."Doing this this early?" He asked with a smirk."Stay out of this Henry!" Chloe gritted, the annoyance and hate vivid on her face."Really Chloe?" The guy asked pulling her to him."The last time I checked, I have authority than you do" he whispered on her face and she swallowed hard."Let go Henry" her trembling voice came up."Woah" a student cheered and we heard the sound of a clicking camera."This will definitely go a long way in the school chat, Chloe is helpless in someone's hand" the student cheered. Before I could process what's happening, Chloe released herself and the sound went...It echoed through the space.The hot slap she gave the student."Chloe!" The guy walked over to her immediately."Is this what you do?" He asked furiously."Stay out of this Henry" she gritted as the girl whimpered holding her cheeks."If you don't get out of here, I'd ban you from the school!" the guy said.Chloe looked up at him in surprise."Henry!!" She gritted and the guy smiled."Yes baby" he laughed pulling her to him whispering some words in her ear and I saw Chloe shudder.So, his name is Henry, it sounds a lot familiar to me.Chloe pulled away from the guy angrily stumping her foot before walking away while Samantha followed her."Dismiss!" the guy ordered and students scampered off.I sighed dusting my clothes and slowly, I picked up my backpack. At the sound of the footsteps, I looked up instantly. Huh? Henry?"Thanks" I murmured dusting my clothes, trying not to look into his face."I didn't save you, I only had to stop her" he said bluntly and I nodded."Thank you anyway" I said looking up and for a second, I got lost in his beautiful golden brown eyes. Well, this is the most beautiful eyes I must say. I swallowed hard looking away before I get immersed in his beautiful face."Thought you're gonna keep staring" he mumbled with a light scoff and my lips formed into a thin line embarrassed."Sorry" I mumbled trying to dust my backpack."Hmm" he nodded, his gaze still on me."Fansco!" he called and I looked up.A guard came rushing and I stared at him to the guard."Towel" he said and the guard brought out a hand towel."Hand it over to her" he ordered and the guard stretched out the towel to me. I collected it slowly."Thank you" I mumbled with a smile."Hmm, and don't go around looking for trouble" he added before walking away.Glancing around I saw the girl Chloe hit staring at me."Hey" I rushed over to her immediately."Are you okay?" I asked as she massaged her cheeks."Hmm" she nodded clutching her phone in her hand."I'm Camila" I said said cleaning my backpack."I'm Ava" she mumbled and I smiled."Who's she?" I asked and she stared at me wide-eyed."Are you new?" She asked and I nodded."She's the Governor's niece" she answered and I nodded.Ohh, so much effrontery because of that."And the boy?" I asked and she gasped."That's Henry, the school's darling, the Governor's son" she said."Ohh" I mouthed nodding my head.Is that why he looked familiar?"He doesn't attend schools everyday, he only comes once in a while" she added and I nodded.Thank goodness he came today else I'd have been slapped. But she slapped Ava."Why did she slap you?" I asked."Because she thought I was picturing her bullying you" she answered."And wasn't that what you're doing?" I asked but she shook her head."Who said the statement then, wasn't it you?" I asked."Of course not, I was snapping my crush" she said unknowingly."Your crush?" I asked staring at her."Oops" she shut her eyes exhaling."Henry is my crush" she said and my mouth formed into an ohh.Wow."He's beautiful, isn't he?" She squealed."Hmm, now I have to attend classes" I told her and she nodded."What grade?" She asked."Get to know" I replied walking away and she squealed following me."Maybe it's my grade too" she answered with a smile and I nodded.Goodness, she talks too much.We entered the class and I rolled my eyes as we became the center of attraction. I glanced around searching for a seat and I made eye contact with Henry. I gave him a small smile walking to my seat and almost immediately, the teacher entered.He taught for a while before his gaze rested on me."New student?" He asked and I nodded."Stand up" he ordered and I stood gently."Name" he asked and I swallowed hard trying to ignore the piercing gazes ."Camila Smith" I answered and Ava gasped behind me.What was that for? I thought."Woah" the teacher smiled motioning for me to sit and I sat down."Guess we have another Smith now" he laughed taking his things as he walked out of the class leaving me to wonder what he meant."What did he mean?" I asked as soon as the teacher got out."You have the same surname as Chloe" she said and my eyes rolled immediately.Smith is the most common surname, silly."And I think you guys look alike a bit" she added and I scoffed."Silly" I mumbled bringing out my sketchpad.What? She gasped immediately snatching the sketchpad."You draw too?" she asked flipping through the pages, her mouth wide open in awe."Who else draws?" I asked."Chloe, she has been winning the award for a while" she cleared my doubt."Ohh" I mouthed nodding."But I think you draw better" she smiled dropping the sketchpad before another teacher walked in.So Chloe draws, but she thinks I draw better. And there's a drawing contest? That definitely means I can contest. Wow, maybe schooling wouldn't be bad here.**HENRY"Don't you ever dare meddle in my business" Chloe yelled as soon as she entered my room.I paused gazing at her."Who gave you the permission to enter my room?" I asked irritated."I d
CAMILA"I'm trying to learn here" I yelled at Ava who wouldn't stop distracting me telling me about events that happen in the school."Well, you should be happy I am talking to you" she smiled taking my book."Allow me to show you around my princess" she squealed and I scoffed in annoyance."No Ava, allow me to read" I ordered with a firm face but she only laughed.Goodness, I'd have to try the library next time."Ava!!" A girl squealed rushing to us but paused seeing me."Ohh, you have a new friend" she mumbled."No, of course not" Ava laughed hugging her."You're my friend, and she's our new friend, come let's show her around" she said and the girl nodded gazing at me."You're pretty" she complimented and I flashed her a smile.**"So, this is the school library" she said pointing at a beautiful building with different paintings on it."Alright" I nodded gazing at it, it's very beautiful even though it's multicolored.We walked for a little while before she gasped pointing at a dire
CAMILAI walked slowly beside Ava still in thought."Heyy" she patted my shoulders and I jerked out of thought."Aren't you excited?" She asked dramatically."Henry is going to be playing, the last time I saw him play was 2 years ago" she squealed jumping up and I chuckled.How often does Henry attends school? Two years ago since she saw him play? Wow!"Are you okay?" She asked holding my arm and I nodded."Of course" I mumbled as Anna ran to us."Ava!!" she exhaled breathing heavily and I chuckled at how dramatic these two can be."Let's hurry" she mumbled as we rushed to the basketball court."Yayy" the cheering sound welcomed me immediately and glancing around, I saw him, my savior. He brushed his hair backwards swallowing and I saw his Adam's apple move. He's hot, I must say. But how old can he be? I'd probably ask Ava later."I want to see clearer" Ava said and Anna took her hand rushing to the front."Go on Henry" I heard people scream. Glancing around, I saw his bodyguards, of c
"Fuck it dad!" I yelled as he spoke into the phone."You're the fucking Governor, just find out those behind this!" I yelled frustrated."My men are working on it" he said and I could sense his frustration. How the men keep getting away with it is what I don't know and I find it disturbing. It's downgrading that he's the Governor and such a thing is happening in his school."Whatever" I mumbled ending the call. This is the fucking fifth time the attack will be happening and according to him, his men haven't been able to do a thing about it, he's probably hiding something."She's awake sir" One of my guards said behind me."Okay" I mumbled turning to the direction of her ward, we're in the hospital, she fainted so they had to resuscitate her back to life. I wonder why she'd risk her life because someone got shot, I just hope she didn't get shot."How's she?" I asked the doctor and he bowed a little."Luckily, the bullet only scraped her arm" he answered and I nodded with a small smile.
CAMILAI scoffed as I got down from the supposed car the school brought. "Thank you" I mumbled as the driver drove away. I could feel the bile at my throat telling me something was off about the school but I'm ignoring that, I'm not letting that affect me. The school is owned by the Governor, so of course, there should be plenty of enemies. I walked gently into the house."Dad?" I called entering the kitchen but scoffed remembering he left. Yeah... he did, this morning. He had to travel, I felt tears burn at the brim of my eyes but I ain't crying. I rushed to my bag to call him but as I rampage through my bag, I couldn't help but fear. I bet my phone isn't here. Shit! I mumbled falling to the sofa. I lost my phone, probably when the attack happened, goodness how do I call him now? I sniffed as the tear finally slipped down, if only dad's here. I wouldn't have told him anyway, I thought taking a drink from the fridge. Goodness, I badly needed this. As I closed my eyes enjoying the flav
CAMILA As I walked into the school with my backpack on my shoulders, I shuddered as students were too much, I bet I'm late. Remembering I haven't talked to dad, I sighed dejectedly, I'm sure he'd be very worried. But it's okay, I'd probably give him a call with Ava's phone."Hey newbie" Someone called, on turning to the direction, I scoffed when I saw the guy. He looked rather unkempt, I'm sure he isn't here for normal classes, he's probably taking one of the business classes."Not a newbie" I mumbled trying to walk past him."Heyy" he held my shoulders and I scoffed."Let go" I ordered and he chuckled moving back."I guess I'd see you around pretty" he gave a malicious grin and I scoffed moving towards the class. Halfway, I paused when I saw the image. "Chloe?" I mumbled. She was ranting some incoherent words pulling a girl on her hair. Who's that? I thought walking closer to them. As I moved, they moved forward too but I was determined to see what she's up to."Hey" I yelled as she
"Chloe!!" I yelled over the phone."I want you at the school hospital right now!" I yelled before ending the call. She knows better than to disobey me.I sat gently on the chair waiting for the girl to be treated on, she has to explain what Chloe did."Boss, there's a call!" Fanscho yelled running to me. I paused on seeing the caller. Dad? I thought."Henry!!" His voice roared over the phone. "You were attacked just yesterday!" He yelled and I sighed."I just wanted to be in school dad" I mumbled."I want you out of there" he yelled over the phone."Dad?" I mumbled."Right now!" He said firmly and I stood up having no choice, for him to have called me, he really wanted me out of here."Get her back to school" I told Fanscho and he nodded before bowing. I sighed walking to her ward, I just wanted to see her. She laid peacefully on the bed, her arm isn't bleeding and gently, I walked away to my car.***CAMILAI woke up slowly, my vision blurry as I glanced around. I caught a glimpse of
CAMILAI exhaled walking into the compound but paused on seeing the door open. Is dad around? I thought hastening my step, I opened the door and I was welcomed by his furious face."Camila!" He yelled and a kind of fear ran through me. "Where have you been huh?" He asked and I sighed walking to him "Dad" I mumbled hugging him, he exhaled before stroking my hair."I was worried Camila" he mumbled and I laughed pulling away. His face went pale and I wondered why."What happened to your arm?" He asked grabbing my arm, he observed it carefully and I swallowed hard. I definitely ain't telling him I almost got shot."Nothing dad" I mumbled pulling away, "I only scraped my arm" I mumbled but he stared at me doubtfully. "Dadddd" I whined and he exhaled falling to the sofa."You got bullied already?" He asked slowly and I sighed having no other choice, I'd tell him the half truth."Yes dad but trust me I'd handle this" I said firmly."Your lips" he mumbled standing up, he got an emollient and
