***Flashback***"Rory! Where are you?!"A young girl shouted. She was about 7 or 8. Her small face which was meant to emit innocence was cold and arrogant. "Here I am,Young madame"Rory came rushing and bowed her head. Not daring to look up. She was wearing a maid's uniform but it only made her cuter. Her chubby cheeks were filled with bruises caused by Mrs Devane and Sammy. Her father didn't really care about what they did to Rory. To him,Sammy was his only child and Rory was a servant.Rory was frequently abused and tortured by the mother daughter pair. "My room is a mess! I am going to have teaparty. My friends are coming and my room hasn't been cleaned. Yesterday,my friends came over and they said my room was to dirty!"She yelled at Rory. Anger and viciousness was in her eyes. Rory just looked down and didn't say anything. But her silence only made Sammy angrier."Can't speak? Huh? Are you mute?"She yanked Rory hard and started hitting her,but Rory didn't make a beep. She was a

Her dark blue eyes,stared at the building in front of her. Her hair,which was long was now curled and reached her shoulders. The uniform hugged her waist and gave off a formal,serious vibe. The 5 inch heel and black pop sock she wore only made her more beautiful.Those eyes that would have looked cute and heartwarming,was now cold and had a tinge of danger.Walking into the school with her head held high and her bag hanging over shoulders,everyone couldn't help but ogle her. She was a beauty. Mistake,she was a goddess. Every step she took made everyone hold their breaths."Rory? Is that you?"Blaire walked over in shock."Mm"She answered simply.It wasn't that she looked completely different,but there was just this change to her countenance. A change she couldn't put a finger on."It's been like what? A month?"She hugged Rory.Rory rolled her eyes. They still saw each other yesterday and she was acting like it had been ages since they saw. "Hey beautiful!"David came over and greeted

Rory was walking through the halls. She saw the school's bulletin board and stood in front of it. But it wasn't the board that caught her attention but a poster. It was an Arts competition. The poster was very beautiful and sparkly. It read: 'The Next Picasso Art Competition. Criteria: Only for those who have the guts to go against Picasso'. She was so intrigued by the poster that she didn't notice someone's presence beside her."Thinking of signing up?"The voice beside her questioned."Hmm?"She snapped out of it and turned to where the voice came from."Samantha"She uttered in disgust."That's no way to talk to your sister"Samantha said as if she had been wronged."What do you want from me? What part of 'stay away from me' didn't you get the last time?"Rory scowled at her."Sheesh! No need to get all riled up. You were so deeply concentrated on the poster I thought you wanted to sign up""How does that concern you?"Rory said with contempt written all over her face. She started walkin

"Would you mind retaking the test?"He dropped the news."What?"Miss Agatha was in shock.Mr Walker had a smug smile on his face."Why?"Just a simple question."Because Mr Walker here as a hard time believing that you didn't pass the exams without malpractice."Mr Lawrence,the Biology teacher answered, sending a mocking look his way."Mr Lawrence it's not about me,it's about the NCE,remember? That's why we all gathered here"He defended himself and everyone couldn't help but roll their eyes."Besides unlike all of you,I ask the right questions and I teach that to my students that's why the students in my class always get the top spot"He boasted."Exactly!"Miss Agatha agreed with a smile."Thankfully Miss Agatha has come to her senses and realized the truth""Oh yes I have. I finally understand why our school never made it pass the district levels"Miss Agatha said sarcastically with a provocative smile on her face.The teachers couldn't help but laugh."Principal I wouldn't mind retaking t

Rory sat down on an empty chair in the staff room. All the teachers were there,sitting around her. They were meant to cover all angles so she won't supposedly cheat. One of Mr Walker's silly request.Rory didn't mind. As long as she got this over with,she was fine doing all the unreasonable things he asked. If she proved he was wasting time,that was enough reward for her.Miss Agatha and what seemed like the whole of Rory's class were pacing back and forth in the class,the tension was thick....An hour later."I'm done"Rory informed the teachers in the room"What?"They all said incredulously."Yeah. Can I go now?"She asked."What?"Mr Walker was surprised for a second,then he laughed."Wow! The tests were so difficult that she couldn't write anything"He made fun of her. There were a total of 7 tests she wrote,all had 50 objectives and 5 theory questions. So it was impossible to finish it so fa
