Charlotte had wavy brown hair, brown eyes, a pretty face, good shape, also a fine ass, and even her boobs were perfect. She had the look of a model with amazing long legs. She was what men would consider 'Hot'. I was still admiring her beauty when all of a sudden...

..."You bitch!!" Charlotte said and her yell came with a bolt of electricity, hitting and sending me crashing into the lockers.

"Ranella!!" Beatrice called in shock and ran to check on me.

"What is wrong with you?!" Bea asked. Crowds were already gathering to look.

I was still in shock, literally. I felt the current travel through my body and all the hairs on my skin stood.

Charlotte walked up to me, anger flaring in her eyes. I wondered what I had done again to deserve this.

"You have no right to have a crush on anyone!" Charlotte said.

"Crush? What the hell are you talking about?!" Bea asked on my behalf.

"This does not concern you, so I advise you to step out of the way or else you get a taste," Charlotte said showing her hands sparked with electricity circulating her hand.

Some students who were close with Bea and wouldn't want to see her get hurt came along and dragged her away, knowing how ruthless Charlotte was, as she struggled to free herself from their grip.

"Let go of me," Bea said while struggling.

"Now, back to you," Charlotte said, squatting to meet my height, since I was still on the floor. She took out her phone and showed it to me.

It was a video of me and Bea, We were at the school garden, and Bea was doing yoga while I was sitting on the swing. Someone was filming us secretly and I guess it was one of her slaves she calls coheirs.

"What you're going through isn't right," Bea said on the video, she was trying to persuade me to switch schools since this one was a nutcase for me.

"I can bear it, as long as I can see his face." I heard myself say. I inwardly face-palmed myself.

I was staring at Liam Rogers as he chatted with his group right opposite us. I was unknowingly drooling as I stared at him with stars dancing in my eyes.

"You still look at Liam with those eyes?" Bea asked.

"I just can't stop staring at him and if I don't, I end up thinking about him all through," I said in the video.

"You have a huge crush on Liam," Bea said rather than asking a question.

"I don't have a crush, I am head over heels in love with him," I said.

I bit my lower lip as I bent my head a little, avoiding her gaze. She had already shared it on the school's platform and everyone had viewed it, even Liam. That explained why everyone laughed when I stepped in.

I bent my head down in shame as Charlotte kept on spitting fire at me. Her voice had become distorted to me as my brain was in turmoil.

The entrance doors flew open and there they were, the Hottest and most powerful guys group in the school, the A.N.G.E.L.Z group. As they walked in the light from the background made them look like real angels emerging from a luminescence. The beauty was so much that I could feel my eyes blinded by the effect.

I kept on gazing in their direction until I finally saw him.

Liam Rogers, The hottest and devilishly handsome guy in the school, was like a ball of light illuminating wherever he walked or passed through. Liam Rogers had shoulder-length blonde hair, with blue pupils, his eyes were sexy and enticing and his lips were as red as a rose. He had long lashes and strong jawlines. He was tall and muscular, and his body was just so hot that I daydreamed of seeing him shirtless every time I laid my eyes on him.

His powers were a complete contrast to his personality. He was a shadow manipulator, he could project a false mental image produced by misinterpretation of things that exist (illusion). And he could conceal himself, and also solidify them into physical forms for offense and defense. But the way he does it is more intriguing, his eyes change to a different color, pitch-black. Adding mysteriousness to his devilish beauty.

Oh sh*t, the video...what was I thinking when I should be bowing my head in shame. Liam, along with his twin brother and friends, stopped right opposite where I sat. I lifted my gaze and our eyes met, his face was unreadable as he stared at me, and I could feel chills run down my spine. Staring at my crush in the eyes right after indirectly expressing my love to him was something that felt wrong, at least for me.

He had a thing for Charlotte although I could tell she didn't feel the same way, but my case was different, Because of my blubber, I was not allowed to even have a crush, especially the hottest boy in school.

I turned my gaze away, biting my lower lip slightly, he also turned away without saying a word and walked to Charlotte, who was still fuming for an unknown reason. Seeing them together, they looked like a nice couple. The two most popular students in Hidden High formed a ship. But if only Charlotte would let go of her disgusting attitude and become a little nicer, then just maybe it could work.
