The Princess and The Bad Boy

After her mother dies, Daphne Lane has to go with her father and stepmother who is a queen to Luisa Island, a small (fictional) island that is very prosperous. To become a member of the royal family, she is taken to a mansion in Los Angeles (Twin City of the capital of Luisa) to be taught manners. During the debriefing, she was mentored directly by her stepmother and got a private tutor. In an instant, Daphne's free life begins to be restricted by rules. A set of rules that become a habit should not be broken. Like it or not, Daphne must follow the rules that apply in her life. Transferring to a new school, Daphne immediately becomes the spotlight there as the Princess of Luisa. Although many are queuing up to become her new friends, Daphne prefers to befriend the children who are members of the "Dumped Students" to avenge the crimes of the popular students' club led by Trixie Marshall. Despite being known as a trouble-provoking and a school bouncer, no one knows how Daphne has felt since losing her mother and having to live under the same roof as a stepmother who upholds manners and often compares her to Christabel. Her stepmother and even father also began to make her feel alienated in her new environment. Daphne tries to escape by tricking the security. But unfortunately amid her attempt to escape, she actually 'meets' with Justin Lancaster, an annoying guy who is a troublemaker at school. So her journey to the place of contemplation was again interrupted by the boy's presence.

The Bullies (b)

Ahead was already a mouth-watering roast turkey. I stretched out my hand intending to take it myself. But suddenly my hand was tapped by Jackie.

"Don't use your hands. Use a fork and knife." Jackie's eyes rounded at me. She snapped her fingers calling for the waiter to help me cut the turkey.

I watched as Dad pleaded for a defense. Instead of defending me in front of Jackie, he nodded his head, asking me to obey Jackie's orders. Exhaling a short breath, I could only follow his will. Let the waiter cut the turkey and put it on my plate. I looked at the turkey in front of me as if it were alive and talking to me.

"How was your school, Daph? Your friends are good, right?" Dad asked me.

Getting the Dope-nee designation, getting paper stamped, getting beat in the karate arena… yep. My friends are really good.

Toying with the knife in my hand slicing the turkey on my plate I replied, "Not bad. At least they are still aware of my existence."

"I already contacted the principal that you are my current daughter." Jackie stuffed a small piece of carrot into her mouth. I watched carefully how she ate. So graceful, it's only right that Dad clings to her.

If I may admit, Jackie is the type of classy woman who is beautiful, outgoing, and intelligent. Her hair is black with cinnamon eyes. As Dad said, she bears a resemblance to her daughter, who I think is named Christabel—thankfully Christabel doesn't live in the same house as me at the moment. I can't imagine what it would be like if Christabel and I were in the same place.

"Not turning my fate into a pile of meat amid hungry lions," I sighed softly, imagining the evil faces of Trixie Marshall and Justin Lancaster.

We didn't talk much during the meal. I'm almost bored to death at this dining table. Jackie suggested putting off the conversation once dinner was over. Because according to what he said—according to the Westlake family etiquette guide—we were forbidden to talk during the meal. So I spent the night chewing my food and talking to myself like an alter ego sufferer.
