Chapter 104: Chapter 104

Everything about the new apartment is perfect, Mira and I had our own rooms for privacy reasons but we share the sitting room, kitchen and every other thing.

I laid on my bed and stared at the ceiling as I couldn’t sleep. Just the thought of tomorrow being my first day at school made me super nervous.

My mind suddenly drifted to him but I quickly shook my head to clear it out.

This is my new start and I won’t mess it up.

I didn’t bother to ask who was at the door, as Mira and I were the only ones in the apartment.

"Hey, sleeping?" she asked after opening the door slightly.

"No, I’m just kind of nervous for tomorrow," I replied truthfully.

I didn’t see the point in hiding anything and it seems like she was also having the same issue.

"Me too" she said as she walked into my room and shut the door behind her.

I made space for her on the bed and she swiftly got in. We both stared at the ceiling for a while without saying anything.

"You know, I am actually kind of scared and also nervous. Scared because I’m afraid of what people will say about me and the way they would gossip about me and nervous because I don’t know how I would react in such a situation" she said with a slightly sad voice that made my heart ache for her.

"Why would they gossip about you?" I asked her with a frown as she wasn’t someone that could get bullied easily.

"You know I dropped out of school in my second year just because I wanted my mother’s attention. Now that I am going back, I want to start all over again, from year one.

My previous coursemates, that’s my set before I dropped out, are all in their finals now, so you can guess how they would react when they see me" she explained briefly.

I slowly moved over and pulled her into a tight hug as that was the only thing I could offer her at the moment.

"Come on girl, we have got this! We will go to school tomorrow and take the entire campus by storm. They wouldn’t be able to forget the day that the Lancaster sisters stormed their campus" I said while hugging her tightly and she finally laughed.

"Thanks sis" she whispered softly.

"Anytime" I replied to her with a smile.

We slowly drifted into the dream world and by the time I opened my eyes again, it was already 6AM in the morning.

"Mimi wake up" I said while giving her gentle taps on the back.

She opened her eyes but it took her a few seconds to reboot. I couldn’t stop myself from laughing as she looked quite funny with her early morning silly expression.

"Why are you laughing?" she asked with a confused expression that made me laugh even harder.

"Come on, go get ready. We don’t want to be late on our first day of school" I said while dragging her out of bed.

She quickly left to go to her room to get ready and I immediately went into the bathroom to get ready as well.

By 8AM, we were set to leave the house. I wore a beautiful blue bodycon gown that showed off my figure and black sandal heels that highlighted my long legs. My hair was parked into a high ponytail.

Mira was wearing a short brown leader skirt coupled with a black armless top and black knee length fashion boots. Her hair was styled into deep waves.

Overall, we looked breathtaking and we were ready for campus!

We have been waiting for quite a while now but our driver hasn’t shown up.

"What’s keeping him?!" Mira was starting to get pissed and I was tired of waiting as well.

Then, a flash of white caught my eyes and I turned to get a clearer view. When I saw it clearly, I turned to look at Mira, who also had an equally stunned expression on her face.

Two fucking Maseratis!

Kelvin got out of the white one and our driver got out of the second one which was red in color.

"Well ladies, Grandfather feels that it would be better for you to have your own cars to avoid the inconvenience of waiting for each other everyday" he said as he handed the key to the white one to me.

The driver also handed the key to the red one to Mira, who still hadn’t snapped out of her shock.

I can’t believe we just made up a lie about getting a Maserati a few days ago and now it was actually happening.

Could grandpa be spying on us?

This weird question came to my mind but I quickly shook my head as it made no sense.

"Won’t the both of you say anything? What’s wrong with you?" Kelvin asked us with a frown when we still didn’t react.

His voice seemed to have snapped us out of our daze as we finally looked at each other.

"Arrrrrrrrrrrttgggghhhh!"

We let out an earth shattering scream and Kelvin had to cover his ears to prevent his eardrums from getting damaged.

"Is that why you and big brother insisted that we learn how to drive last month?" I asked him with a smile and he nodded.

They forced us to get our driver’s licenses last month. It seems like they had such a huge surprise planned all along.

"Okay ladies, goodluck on your first day" he said to us with a smile.

We quickly ran to our respective cars and as soon as I got into mine, I felt like I was heaven because only heaven could be used to describe such beauty.

The drive to the campus took us less than twenty minutes and as soon as we drove in, all eyes were on our cars.

I felt weird with so many people looking at me and I just sat in the car after parking. Mira knocked on my window and I finally mustered the courage to step down.

The students continued staring at us, probably trying to guess who we were then there was a sudden gasp from the side.

"Oh my gosh, Mimi?!" a high pitched scream followed the gasp then a sudden rush of footsteps.

A short red haired girl ran over and gave Mira a huge hug.

"Am I dreaming? Someone please pinch me!" she screamed emotionally while still hugging her.

"It’s good to see you again Celine," Mira said while hugging her back.

"This is Christy, she is my sister" she introduced me to her friend after they were done hugging.

"Hi, I’m Celine," she said and extended her hand for a handshake.

"It’s a pleasure to meet you Celine" I said to her with a smile as I gave her a handshake.

"I couldn’t believe it when Mrs Jackson told me that you were coming back to school. I am so proud of you. I heard about your mother, I wanted to come over but I didn’t know how you would react" Celine said with a sad voice.

"I’m so sorry for being so rude and mean to you when you visited" Mira apologized and they hugged again.

It seemed like they were forgetting that we were still surrounded by a crowd of curious onlookers. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on novｅlfire.net

"I was appointed by the fashion design department to welcome you and give you a tour of the school" Celine said to Mira before turning to look at me.

"Your department must have also appointed someone for you, what department are you?" she asked me.

"Culinary department" I replied and she quickly looked around the crowd for someone.

"I saw Ashton Coleman, he is the top student of your department and the one that usually welcomes the new students" she said while still glancing round in a bid to locate the person.

There was no way he would be the person in my memories.

"Ashton, over here!" she yelled and I quickly turned in the direction she was waving.

How is this possible?

My eyes were glued on the guy that was rushing over and when he stood in front of me, he had a stunned expression on his face.

"Umm... Do you guys know each other?" Mira asked when she saw our reactions.

"Yes, I knew him when we were kids" I said to her but he was just focused on my face.

"Ashton, this is....."

"I know, Christy Scott" he interrupted Celine when she wanted to make introductions.

"Christy Lancaster, not Scott" Mira corrected him with a frown.

She knew how much I hated being associated with the Scott family after everything they did to me.

"Hi Christy" he said with a smile.

"Hi Ashton" I replied to him with a smile as well.

"I think we should go somewhere more private because some people are recording," Celine said anxiously and we all walked into the school building.

I could still feel lots of gazes on me but I didn’t care at this moment as all I could think of were the numerous questions that I have for Ashton.
