Copper At first glance, she seemed like a simple lady with an outfit that covered her from head to toe. She had a small, round, childlike face that suited her big eyes. The makeup that she chose suited her facial features and added to that look of innocence with a sprinkle of maturity. Darling Stark, was it? I wonder why she's here. Darling brushed her wavy, black hair over her shoulder. I offered her the same smile I gave everyone else. "Nice to meet you, Darling. I haven't seen you before, are you from this area?" She shakes her head. "Not entirely. I was away for a little while, but I'm thinking of moving back soon. I hope that's no trouble to you, Miss Harmony." I raised my eyebrow. Why would that be a problem for me? I barely know her. "I can see you're confused." Georgina touches Darling's shoulder. "This here is Kenny's old love, the one whose place you're occupying right now." Darlng's smile broadened. "Yes, I can't wait to be reunited with him! I was hoping to see him t

Copper I didn't know how to respond to him. I couldn't. All I could do was grip onto this pristine, white Oakwood table. What I didn't realize that night was that I was scared.

Going off on Kenny now would cause problems for me later. Besides, he didn't do anything. I combed my fingers through my hair and took one last, deep breath. I sp

CopperI raised my eyebrow. “I’m pretty sure I just told you.”“No, like…” Emily tapped on her bottom lip. “Everyone who’s anyone knows all the things I just told you. It’s not realistic that you claim to be from the Harmony family and yet not experience any of the benefits having that kind of money brings.”Oh, I see. That’s what it is. I kept my calm. “I haven’t lied, if that’s what you’re insinuating. I simply wasn’t raised to be concerned about that stuff.”“Yeah, I bet,” Emily giggled. Sabrine reached forward and whispered into her ear loud enough for me to hear.“I bet she’s some poor scholarship student who’s lying about her last name to seem interesting. If that’s not the case, she’s probably the daughter of a staff member. The ones that clean up after the important people.”I could feel my anger rising to the surface. I breathed in, then breathed out. I’m not at my old school anymore. I made a promise to my grandfather and my parents that I would be on my best behavior. Being
