Chapter 1I'LL KILL YOU

Welcome to Adelaide Montessori Prep everyone.

.....

I enter the school corridor, tugging unto my sweater as I pass the sea of Balenciaga's and Prada's. They have their designer outfits on and are grouped into cliques, no doubt talking about which country they visited over the weekend or which store they splurged thousands of dollars in. I bet they've never worked a day in their life yet they lavishly spend money like it is nothing but paper.

By the way, my name is Melody Jones and I'm officially over it.

I live with my mother and my sister, Sophie, in an average apartment on the shady side of town. Our family fell apart once my sister was diagnosed with a rare disease called Type A Sephiligitis. My dad left and never looked back, leaving my mum and I to take care of Sophie. Mum works at Saint John's Hospital as a nurse and often works long hours in order to pay the bills, hence, she's never around much which leaves me to take care of Sophie. My life is completely different from those in my school but I'm not complaining. I wouldn't even dream of getting into a snobbish, rich people school like this if not for the scholarship I won.

I'm grateful for the opportunity the school has given me but at the same time, I regret ever agreeing to attend because ever since I stepped foot here, I've been a target of the bullies. They would make fun of my clothes, my hair, my upbringing and straight up tell me that I don't belong here because I'm 'poor'.

My nemesis in this school is none other than the charming (insert barf in mouth) Jason Blunt-son of Dean Blunt- hot shot lawyer with a clientele of only the rich and famous. I'm talking: Britney Spears, Usher, Beyoncé, the list goes on, and Heather Blunt, entrepreneur  extraordinaire, famous for the creation of Heather Beauty-a cosmetics brand which made a total of $500 million dollars in sales alone this year and ranked #5 on Forbes 'Most Successful Companies List.'

He has made it his goal to make my life a living hell. He treats me like a charity case- throwing money in my face and saying that he can 'buy' me and my entire family with just the snap of his fingers. We constantly butt heads and I'm honestly frustrated at this point. We just can't seem to get along and each altercation is always worse than the previous one.

Speaking of the devil.....

''Yo Jones, where'd you get your jeans from, the dollar store?'' He and his posse laughs.

I just block him out and chant numbers in my head so I don't throttle him. I'm not a violent person but when you push someone to their breaking point, they're bound to react.

''Keep on ignoring me Jones, if you weren't so mute maybe daddy wouldn't have left". The topic of my dad is a very sensitive one and I wonder how he got that information. Tears well up in my eyes but I hold it back and replace it with pure rage. I drop my bag on the floor and walk up to Jason and his posse. In a nanosecond, I'm on Jason's back, ready to tackle him to the ground. He tries to pry me off him but I'm not having it.

''GET OFF ME CRAZY ASS.'' He yells.

''WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT MY FATHER? ARE YOU STUPID? OR DO YOU WANT A DEATH WISH?''

''YOU'RE JUST SALTY BECAUSE YOU KNOW I'M SPEAKING THE TRUTH.'' He fires back.

''STOP TALKING ABOUT WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT AND JUST SHUT UP.''

''Or what?'' He challenges. ''You'll run to daddy? Wait you can't because he abandoned you and started a new family.''

That's it!

My palm connects with his cheek and he looks stunned. The once noisy hallway turns dead silent, waiting for Jason to react. He raises his right hand to return the favour but a deep voice stops him. It's Principal Grande.

''You both know the way to my office."

......

''She started it.''

''He started it.''

''You're a crazy lunatic.''

''And you're a spoilt brat.''

''Fu...''

''ENOUGH OF THIS NONSENSE.'' Principal Grande yells.

Jason and I have lost count of the times we've been in the principal's office. I'm pretty sure he is tired of seeing our faces already.

''We do not condone this kind of animalistic behaviour in this school. We have rules and regulations which you must abide by and your behaviour is totally unacceptable. You are both seniors for heaven's sake and you're meant to be more mature. This is a school and not a boxing ring and I expect...''

I just stand there with my arms crossed as I tune him out. He pretends like he gives a damn about the students but he only cares about the school's reputation and its ranking on the Forbes list. At the end of his lecture, he'll put the blame on me and Jason will be off the hook. Why? His parents make a 'charitable donation' to the school every month so he always gets a pat on the back which is so unfair.

''I'm letting you off with a warning, Melody. See what I mean? This must not happen again or I'll be forced to withdraw your scholarship.''

He always says that.

''You may both take your leave.''

I turn towards the door with a scowl on my face. As I approach the door, a certain someone decides to annoy me further by blocking my path. I give him a sarcastic smile and shove him with my shoulders.

''Hood rat.'' I hear him mutter.

''Dickhead.''

''Bitch.''

''Asshole.''

''Peasant.''

''Fuck you.''

''Name the time and the place, babe.'' He winks and walks off to his stupid posse across the hallway.

Can you all tell I hate his guts?

.....

''I can't believe you got into a fight with Jason. Mel, you really need to stop letting that man child get under your skin. You're better than that.'' Paris says.

Paris Jackson is the daughter of Mario Jackson, world famous plastic surgeon and Antoinette Jackson, CEO of Antoinette, a multi-million dollar clothing company. Despite her affluent upbringing, Paris treats me like a human being and we are close friends-she's the only friend I have really.

''He made unnecessary comments about my family so excuse me for going all ape shit on his ass.''

''What did he say?''

''He mentioned my dad and that tipped me over the edge. You know the worst part? Principal Grande only reprimanded me when I wasn't the aggressor." I rant. ''Fuck this school, Paris 'cause I've had it up to here at this point.''

She rubs my shoulder in a calm manner and smiles. ''Just ignore him. You're better than all the bullshit he's insinuating. He's obviously missing a few brain cells.''

''A few or a lot?''

''Is it wrong that I ship you two? You're both goals to be honest.''

I give her a disgusted look. ''Are you nuts? I hate him and I don't understand why people worship him at this school." Sure, he might be over 6ft tall with chestnut hair, blue eyes, and a broad build that made him the captain of the basketball team. But trust me, his arrogance is irking. "If I had to choose between marrying Jason and falling off a cliff, I'd pick the latter. That'd be less painful."

She just laughs as we make our way towards the lunch hall.

''Psycho at 3:o'clock." Paris whispers and I immediately know who she's talking about.

Mariah Laughlin.

Mariah, head bitch... I mean Queen of Adelaide Montessori is another name on the long list of people I can't stand in this school. Everything about her is fake- fake hair, fake nails fake personality, hell I believe her body is fake because your boobs should not look like two watermelons at eighteen. Did I mention she's Jason's sidepiece? Well she is, but don't tell her that because she'd throw a temper tantrum and claim she's his 'girlfriend.' She has been another thorn in my side ever since I 'verbally assaulted' her man and has had it out for me. She's such a snake. Actually a snake is even more decent than her.

I'd trade a snake bite over hearing her voice anytime.

''Well, well, if it isn't the zoo animal.'' Mariah says.

''And if it isn't the delusional psycho. Did you and your squad get lost on the way to the mental hospital?'' I retort.

Her squad consists of Lianna and Stella. I thought Mariah was stupid, but those two put her to shame really. They're always at the bottom of the class rank list and are generally just dim-witted. Who in their right mind sides with Mariah? The only thing they both have going for them is that they're gorgeous. If they were dumb and ugly, then that would've been a disaster.

''Who do you think you're talking to?'' She raises her perfect eyebrow at me.

''Is there another head bitch in this school?''

''Good one.'' Paris praises.

''I heard you got into a fight with Jason. Didn't I tell you to stay away from my man or do you have wax in your ears?'' She raises her voice at me.

A crowd has already gathered and a few people have their phones out, recording the showdown. High schoolers love the drama.

''Who made you the defender of Jason? Did I get into a fight with you? Mind your own business."

''He is my man so he is my business. Stay away from him or I will end your reputation.'' she threatens.

''Last I checked, you were just another one of his sidepieces," she gives me a death glare but I continue. "Isn't he fucking Jayda or-?"

''I think it's Chloe now.'' Paris adds.

''Chloe is old news. I believe it's Ronnie now.''

''No wonder your dad left you. You're nothing but a hood rat.'' She shoots back.

Jason and Mariah love to associate my name with the term 'hood rat', don't they?

''Yea and your dad should have pulled out earlier but I guess we can't all get what we want Mariah. After all, look how you turned out. Miserable."

Mariah is seeing red. Seriously,her whole face, down to her glossy blonde hair is boiling and she looks like a tomato. Remember all those cartoon characters on TV that had smoke coming out of their ears when they were really mad? Well that's how Mariah's face is right now. I wonder why she's angry. Everything I said is nothing but the truth.

''Declare yourself dead Melody.'' She spits and sashays away with her clique.

''I'd like to see you try.''

She flips me the bird and I snort. Who flips the bird nowadays?

The crowd fades and Paris looks at me like I had grown wings or two heads or something. I shrug. ''What did I do wrong? She started the argument but I ended it.''

''Damn girl, you've got a lot of guts.'' Paris chuckles.

''Mama ain't raised no bitch. See you at fifth period.'' With that, we depart to our various classes.

The only sad thing is I never got to eat lunch.

Cinderella Fell For Her Bully

“W-what do you want to do?” He removed his hand from the doorknob and walked back towards me, placing his backpack down and looked back at me. “Come sit.” He said slowly. I followed him over to the bed and sat down. “What are we going to do?” I was so nervous but there was a slight hit of anticipation in my tone that made him looked excited. “I mean, are we just sticking with what we did last time or—?“ “Tongue.” He said bluntly. “What?” “I’m going to teach you how to really kiss a guy using your tongue.” ***************************************************** Stella Hemmings aimed to leave her wicked stepmother and evil stepsister behind because they treated her like Cinderella in the fairy tale story wherein they made her do the household chores and beat her. The only difference was that her stepmother sends her to school but on one condition. She had to hide her identity, like wearing a curly wig and round glasses. Why? Because she looked exactly like her mom and her stepmother hated her mom so much that she asked her to cover her face and make herself ugly. And just like Cinderella, she also has a Prince Charming but sad to say, he was bullying her. Stella had a huge crush on him but he never noticed because she’s ugly. He only had eyes on the sexy and famous cheerleader Maxine. Knowing she couldn’t compete with Maxine, Stella hid her feelings for Tyler Lewis. However, the stupid cupid played his role and let them crossed their path in an unexpected way. Stella needed a huge amount of money for the operation of her stepbrother’s heart surgery, so she asked her friend Lisa to help her. Her salary as a part time student in the coffee shop wasn’t enough to save money for Dino’s operation. So she went with Lisa to work in one of the famous nightclub in town but soon went into trouble and the guy who bullied her in the school, saved her and saw her without the wig and the round glasses. After that incident, she tried to avoid Tyler in the school as much as she could, for he might recognize her as the girl he saved that night in the nightclub. But how could she avoid him when her feelings for him grew from infatuation to love. And despite fighting hard to keep her feelings contained by distancing herself from Tyler, he was determined to show her that he had earned a spot in his heart.

High School Again: The President's Secret Lady Boss

“With every hour, day, and month I wait, I love you more.” Here is where the boss submits and the lady dominates. --- "A CEO hitting on a high school girl? Oh, how scandalous, Sir~” She is a sly teenager who likes to tease adults, use blackmail and ruin dates. But beneath that playful facade, she was once a naive heiress who was abused, mocked and neglected. Forced in a loveless marriage, she became even more miserable. For all her life, she tried to be perfect to gain acceptance, but in the end, nobody truly cared for her. Now that she went back in time after dying in the hands of her family, she decided to claim what was rightfully hers. "Hitting on you? Excuse me, who're you again? I don't think any girl would just ruin my date for no good reason – highschooler or not. That's unless you're actually a fan," was what her flirt of a future husband once said in this second life of hers. Though a jerk, this hot stuff has his uses other than being attractive. She needed him to get back on those who wronged her no matter how indifferent he was to her before. This time around, she will take her turn to piss people off while smiling all sweetly. With that in mind, she leaned closer to him and smiled as sweetly as she just imagined, making him drop his smug smirk and raise his brows in surprise. "I'm not your fan – I'm your future wife, you douchebag." --- Winter used to live with her adoptive older brother until her biological uncle and adoptive sister found her. She was a long-lost heiress whose deceased parents turned out to be an affluent and wealthy couple. While people would think that she was very fortunate, all this really did to her was take her freedom away. A whole new identity had been forced on her ever since. Meek and docile yet soft-hearted and hardworking – that she became. Trapped in expectations, Winter worked herself to death in order to be deserving of her position as the successor. Pressured by her family, she had to follow everything they said. Deprived of the freedom to decide, she was forced to marry someone who was older than her by seven years – and worse, a flirt of all things. Winter worked very hard but only to lose everything after her adoptive sister took the spotlight away. Everyone claimed her to be incapable of being the next head of their family business, thus making the adopted daughter the successor instead. Her uncle only used her in the end. This was what they were aiming for all along – to manipulate her and steal her inheritances before throwing her out entirely. Never did Winter expect that the first and last person who would at least pay attention to her at her worst was her husband, Marcellus. Flirtatious and playful yet detached and secretive – that he was. Devilishly handsome, head of a business empire, known for many notable attainments, and chased by beauties – Marcellus is a man of perfection. Not once did he treat Winter like a wife, though. She was nothing to him, and so was he to her. But before she met her eventual demise, he was the only person who tried to help her. Yet it was much too late. The next time they met again would be seven years back in time – where they would be a scheming duo of a bossy high school girl and a submissive conglomerate president. --- [Warning: Mature Content] (Cover Photo Not Mine: Credits to the original artist) - Follow me on Instagram (acieetin) - DM me on Discord (Aciee#1841)

all the things we lost

"Who are they?" I asked Sarah as the bikers got closer. "Bad news," she whispers, she looked at Tyler and James, who was already walking towards us in a hurry. "Get in the car," she warns. I almost did, but when I saw the look of fright in her eye I didn't move. I felt hands around my naked waist, I knew it was Tyler. He pulls me tightly against his chest, I could feel the heat coming from his body. "Get in your car and drive off. Don't say a word" he whispers into my ear. "Why?" why did they want me to leave? "Just fucking do it Bella!" he says angrily pushing me forward, I bumped into another hard chest. But this time I could smell cheap beer and sweat. I look up and saw a tattooed face with a nose ring. Taking a step back slowly when he showed me his yellow teeth. "Well, aren't you a pretty thing!" He laughs out, the others agreeing with him. "What's a pretty thing like you doing here?" I didn't reply, I didn't like the way they were watching me. I felt Tyler's hard hands on my shoulder, his grip was hard enough to make me wince. He pulled me up against his chest as if trying to shield me away. I look around the now deserted desert, everyone seems to have disappeared. It was just James, Jada, Sarah, Nelson and Tyler. They were all standing next to us. "Boy! We've been looking for you" they yelled at Tyler. He didn't look affected by them, in fact, I think they knew each other. Why would Tyler be hanging out with guys like this? "I see you got your self a new pretty bird" one chuckles pointing at Tyler's arm that was around my waist. "What are you doing here Stone" he growls at the guy that just spoke. "It seems you've forgotten you owe us money" the guy name Stone growls at Tyler. Does he owe their money? Why? "We made a deal, you said on the 7th" Tyler say, today was the 5th. "Well, you see our boss change his mind" Stone laughs casually. "I don't have that kind of money on me Stone" Tyler was breathing hard now. I knew something bad was about to happen, I just wasn't sure what. "Then we have a problem boy," Stone pulls out a gun and point it directly at me. I freeze tears forming in my eyes, I stare at the gun, not moving. I held Tyler's hands tighter, trying my best not to move. "She's got nothing to do with this" Tyler steps forward blocking me from the gun. I felt him reaching behind his back slowly. "Your gonna have to pay Son and that one looks like she's worth 50 grand" He owns them 50 thousand dollars! I wanted to yell. How did that happen? Doesn't he know people like this can kill you for that? "Come back on the 7th and you will have your money" James steps forward. Oh god, this boys looked like they did this daily. What the hell was I doing here, I should be with my friends getting wasted not stuck in the middle of what looked like a gang War. "Just give us the girl and will be on our merry way" "Not gonna happened," before I could blink Tyler pulled out a gun from his back making my eye wide. HE HAD A FUCKING GUN!! Oh my god, this is not going to be good. Does he carry that with him all the time? If he does how comes I've never felt it. "Be a smart boy, there are three of you and six of us. If you give us the girl will let you keep the other two" Stone says referring to Sarah and Jada. "We just want one!" another biker yells making me jump. "None of them are going with you" Tyler stood his ground, pointing his gun directly at Stone. "Fine," Stone spat on the floor and the other men behind him pulled out their guns some had long knives instead. "James gets Bella out of here," Tyler whispers deadly not taking his eyes off Stone. Bella Thomson, the queen bee. This was her senior year, she already planned everything-homecoming queen, Harvard. Tyler Carter isn't like every other typical 18 years old. Living in the wrong neighbourhood all his life and after losing his mother age of 15, never knowing who his dad was. He is known as the best fighter on the north side.
