*rosapearl*

Olivia POV

 Olivia Smith woke up to the sound of the alarm, she open her eyes slowly, her eyes lid was heavy, she did not sleep properly throughout the night. She was preparing for the new semester. she went to open her window like a normal routine to let see how beautiful the day is. 

" good morning beautiful world," she said 

she looked into the mirror and scrunched up her bob nose before walking towards the shower to take her bath singing with her angelic voice perfect by ed Sheeran. 

 

this have been their favorite song. 

"their" yes. I forget to mention Olivia has a best friend since elementary school Miller Hill.

******  *****

she dresses up in her white and blue uniform, she apply so lipgloss. 

"Always beautiful," she said to herself in front of the mirror before dashing out.

 

"Mum am off to school," 

" Without breakfast? Really" 

" Little will do" 

She eats some slice of bread with coffee 

"Bye mum" she peeked at her mum and left

Clifford college

Olivia was beside her locker when miller came to trickle her

"stop that, can't you grow for once"

" look who is talking" she rolled her eyeball 

" did u slept well," miller asks her 

" yeah, I bit I guess"

"I have seen it in your eyes already, Mrs. book worm" Miller tease her

"How was your summer holiday"  she changed the topic

"cool, I was able to do something I love doing the most". 

I forget to mention that apart from joking around, Miller loves art a lot. no one has ever beat him in art even though he is just an average student who did not dream or even think of improving.

"hmmm... I need to go now so I won't be late for class dear"

"see you in class"

"don't come late to class, remember is Mr. Marson's class".

Mr. Mason our teacher, he loves to wear dungarees, a woolly jersey, and smile from ear to ear. I knew early door he was an asshole, or 'arsehole' as he corrected in his squeaky diction. if u come late to the class he will make you stand till the end of the class.

" I hope you all enjoy your summer break?"

"yes sir" we replied happily

"well, remember your exam is around the corner, you need to study more to bring out the best in you."

"Okay sir"

"I will reshuffle the class today, new sitting arrangement will be made" he said glimmering.

"We love the way we seat," Diane said that pouting 

" well, is not just my decision"

"Miller, switch seats with Harry"

 "Charlotte, seat on the empty seat beside Miller"

she walk slowly to the space, she hate the fact she is sitting with a jerk. 

"I hope he mind his business" she whispered to herself.

After he finish shuffling the class, he give a satisfying look. I was happy I still remain in my seat, I so much love the front seat.

"That will be all for now," he said and leave the class.

I was searching for my pen when Miller show up in front of me

"Hey, miss," he said smirking

"I need to study now don't disturb me," I said that knowing that won't get to him

"In a noisy class?"

"Am going to the library since is free period, I need to cover up some stuff"

he lean closer to me 

"what"

"I can't believe am sitting beside that cold girl," he said and I smirk

"I will frustrate her till she change seat unless I will die of boredom with her," he said

" let the poor girl breath, please. Can't you be serious with your life a little"

 " I wish you are beside me," he said smiling.

"I will prefer sitting on the floor than choose to seat beside you," I said and he frown

"am I that bad" 

"I won't be able to concentrate in class because you will keep disturbing me," I said that cheering him up

"what is studying all about, I don't study until exam time and am still always above average, you can be like that"

"I want more than average, and you can do better too," I said smirking

"I need to go now, so I can cover up a lot you can go and talk with the boys," I said pointing toward Raymond the class talkative, and ran out of the class

"I will make sure I scold you when you are back" he yelled.

Charlotte POV

I was tensed when the teacher asks me to sit beside the crazy jerk that think everything in life is a joke.    

I was unpacking my things in the locker after the teacher left when he walked up to me

"hey, Charlotte," he said smirking

I ignore him to avoid an unnecessary argument.

"At least you answer did you know whether I was sent to give you something," he said 

"as you can see am busy, and please can you just act like am invisible here pls?" I said in a tense tone

"like the Invisible or what. I can see you, a girl trying to unpack her things" he said teasingly.

I hissed and ignore him

"Why are you so cold? life is not like that" he said 

Is he trying to motivate me right now? I getting frustrated already.

"Can you please leave me alone" I yelled and the whole class faces me as if I killed someone. I bury my face in my hand.

"dude" leave the poor girl alone she is not in the mood Austin said

"As she ever be in mood" Diane mumbled.

I pick up my things angrily and went to the library. That has been the only thing I do used to ease myself whenever am angry.

I see no reason to smile after my mom's death, The case was buried because it involve the 'Antonio' family one of the richest family. No lawyer want to take up the case when they hear their name. My dad collected some bribe from the family and marry his secretary just a month after my mum's burial. 

Home is hell, I live like a nobody even in my father house because the house is controlled by my suppose step mum. 

I live like I don't exist in the house to avoid her trouble.
