The plane landed at 7 pm.
Mary and Thelma retrieved their luggage and walk out of the airport. A black Bentley was already waiting for them. A girl hurriedly came out of the car and threw herself into Mary's arm, scaring Thelma a bit."Uh, Mom! I miss you so much!" The girl said with her head buried in Mary's neck."I miss you too, darling." Mary happily patted her daughter's back as they separated.It was only then that Kate's gaze landed on the blonde beside her mother. She removed her shade as she looked at the girl in surprise and then turn to her mommy."Mom, don't tell me this is that little fatty?!."Mary rolled her eyes at her daughter's words. She was also surprised about the changes in the girl. Thelma was fat to ten years old and now looking at the sixteen years old teenager in front of them with a look that could rival famous Hollywood celebrities, that's such an earth-shattering change."Hello," Thelma whispered blushingly, stretching her hand out for a handshake. She had seen the girl appear on the news before, she was Kate Thompson, eighteen years old and the heiress to the Thompson's conglomerate.The Thompsons were a small family but owned countless companies in many industries. They were also one of the few wealthiest families in Country A.Kate chuckled and she pulled Thelma into a warm hug. "I am glad to have another younger sister.""Oh no, your skin is too delicate to stay in the sun for a long time, quick! come and enter the car!." Kate suddenly exclaimed as they separated and she take her suitcase from her before taking it to the car trunk.Thelma watched as she opened the trunk and she put the suitcase into it."Princess, come and enter!" Kate beamed as she opened the door for Thelma."Thanks," Thelma muttered and enter the car.Mary had entered the passenger seat earlier and she was now leisurely playing games on her phone. As soon as her daughter and niece entered, she quit what she was doing and look at them with a smile.Kate started the car and she drove leisurely with one hand."Hmm, dear? How is the company doing?." Mary glanced at her daughter."Don't you trust my ability?" Kate chuckled."Of course I do!""Then why are you asking?" She paused and then added. "The company is doing great and those old monsters are really..." She chuckled but didn't say anything anymore."Did they make things difficult for you?." Mary asked suspiciously."Yeah but...""But what?!.""But I roasted them!." Kate happily chuckled.Mary: "...."Kate smile again before playing music and successfully calmed everyone's nerves.Thirty minutes later, the car arrived at a beautiful European-style mansion.Thelma's eyes widened slightly as she look at the beautiful mansion but just as she was about to admire it more, a girl suddenly ran out of the house like a whirlwind and jumped onto Mary, wrapping her leg around her waist."Mommy!!!."Mary was almost sent crashing down by her daughter but she didn't get angry at all as she smiled and pats the girl's back. After a while, she urged the girl."Now, Kathy, get down."It was only then that the girl released her mother and her feet landed on the floor."Mooooom, I miss you so much, I am glad you're back!." Katherine cooed."Mom misses you too!."Thelma look at the face and realized that it was Katherine Thompson, the second and the last child of Mary.Katherine also turned to her and her expression was like that of her sister. "Oh Mom! Is this cousin fatty?!."Kate glared at her from the corner of her house while Katherine only chuckled instead as she also hug Thelma and whispered in her ear."Welcome Thelly, I will be glad if you are not as boring as our Miss Kate, she is the most boring person in the world and the only thing she knew was food."Then she patted her back before releasing her."What did she tell you?." Kate asked suspiciously."What did I tell you?." Katherine also looks at Thelma in confusion.Thelma smiled but remain tight-lipped. Mary smiled at the scene before urging them."Let's get in girls." Saying this, she elegantly walked into the mansion.Kate helped her to get her luggage out and they went inside."Welcome back Madam!." An old butler hurriedly greeted.Mary nodded at her before pointing at Thelma that just entered. "Old John, this is my niece, Thelma, and she will be living here from now on. Show her to her new room please!." The butler nodded respectfully as he take the suitcase from Thelma."Miss Thelma, you are welcome. This way please." Thelma followed the Butler and Katherine also tagged along.They reached upstairs and the butler opened the door of one of the rooms and make way for her. "This is your room, Miss Thelma."Thelma look at the room and what met her eyes is the flashy pink in the room, like a Barbie room, from the wall to the floor, all of them were decorated in pink and white. There were Even Barbie dolls around! 'Could there have been a mistake?' She thought, suppressing the urge to close her eyes, and ran out."Wow!, Mommy is soo good to you, so many pinks!." Katherine covered her mouth in envy."What do you think? do you like it?" She turned to Thelma and
The Next Day.Thelma woke up at six in the morning to get ready for her new school. After she finish dressing, she joined the family at the dining table as they had breakfast.The school she will be attending was the same as her cousins and also the best private Senior High School in the capital, known for its good academic performance. It is called Divine High School and it was thirty minutes drive away from the Thompsons' mansion.....Divine High School.8 am.The principal's office.The principal, Mr. Johnson, is a middle-aged man probably in his early fifties and he has a pair of kind eyes, he looks at the files in his hand and was grinning non-stop as if he was holding onto a dear treasure. After a while, he looks up in satisfaction."A genius, a rare genius!." He looks at Mary. "Mrs. Thompson, we are really happy to admit this girl to our school, her test scores were all A+!" Mary smiled and nodded happily. "She is indeed good in her studies. To nurture her more is in the ha
"Thelly, let's chat later" Isabella whisper and quickly excused herself."Okay" Thelma nodded and Isabella left for her seat."No wonder Kate said that." Thelma thought.He is really a jerk.Thelma murmured to herself and started practicing the chemistry questions in the notebook that was given to her by Isabella.....Some of the Chemistry questions were a little hard for her but thanks to Isabella's elaborated note, she quickly understood.They didn't have any class that afternoon so she busied herself with the note until she was tapped on the shoulder by Isabella."Thelma, it is lunchtime already, let me take you to the cafeteria!" Isabella suggested with a smile.By this time, her poor stomach had already started to protest so she quickly stood up and followed Isabella to the school cafeteria. The delicious aroma of food met her nose when she entered the cafeteria and she attracts many students' gaze just like how the food attracted her nose."Who is that girl?.""I guess she is a
The girl caused quite a commotion that it was even impossible for Thelma to ignore, she turned to Isabella and asked."Who is she?''A hint of disdain was shown on Isabella's face for the girl."She?, she is Amy Thompson, the only daughter of the second branch of the Thompsons and a student from class D."The class distribution was like that, A to D class, A are for elites while D class are for those who are academically poor but came from a rich families.Isabella informed Thelma and then mumbled. ''she was just a chicken pretending to be a phoenix, the direct descendants of the Thompsons are even more low-key than her"Cheryl wasn't able to catch up to what Isabella said but Thelma with good hearing heard her and understood immediately. Although she just transfer that morning and has a little understanding of Isabella, her heart told her that she wasn't someone who resents others for no reason.Amy walked to Thelma's table and turn to Isabella before asking arrogantly;"Isabella, ho
The Hunts and the Thompsons were the major shareholders of the school and the Thompsons holds more than 35% of the shares making them the second largest shareholder.Even if the relationship between the first and second branches is not that good, they will always be united to fight against outsiders.And most importantly, Amy has a very close relationship with Katherine from the first branch, they were best of friends.Since Amy is one of the only two friends Katherine has, she was very good to her and will give her whatever she wanted which gives birth to Amy's belief, what belongs to the first branch also belongs to them which prompts her to do whatever she likes since there is always someone to clean the mess she made.The first branch's girls are of good character and never use their status to bully others but Amy on the other hand was the complete opposite. And now, an unknown transfer student dares to embarrass a princess, It simply means that the person is seeking death. Howe
After the school closed that evening, the driver came to pick the girls up including Thelma. The moment they reached home, Thelma immediately went to take a shower. She took a nap and slept until six in the evening, She felt hungry the moment she woke up and was about to go to the kitchen when she heard a girl's aggrieved voice, it belong to Amy and she was complaining to Katherine. She stopped in her track."I was just asking her a question and didn't mean any bad, but that girl humiliated me in front of other students and those students even mock me.""She...she even said I am a lunatic!""I am so sad and humiliated."She kept saying how bad she was embarrassed, how much she felt hurt, and how much injustice she had suffered."Gosh, my ears are about to become deaf because of you! Can't you talk normally? Your voice is bad enough and now it had even become worse!" complained Kate irritatedly.She was watching an interesting movie on her phone and she didn't like using earphones.
The next day.Class A.Thelma sat on her seat without bothering with Derek whose head was hanging down with his bangs covering his forehead and looking as if he was sleeping.She said Hi to him earlier but he didn't even raise his head up and she could only sit down awkwardly. Of course, Thelma didn't know what kind of hunger Mr. Derek was facing right then.Their first class that morning was physics and the teacher is a middle-aged man with large glasses called Yale.The way he teaches was considered good enough, however, to Thelma, she can't understand a thing. Physics is simply not her cup of tea."Did every one of you understand how we get this equation?" Mr. Yale asked as he circled a group of formulas on the whiteboard."Yes!." The students answered in chorus. "What about you, new student?" He turned to Thelma and ask with a smile.Thelma who was almost dozing off from the boring class quickly replied."No." She really didn't understand what he was saying from the moment he
It turns out that a new student on a scholarship yelled at Amy because Amy accidentally pushed her onto the ground.The girl demanded an apology from her and who was Amy? She was somebody that find it difficult to say sorry to others. She had never said sorry to anyone before except to her parents and others who were richer than her family.The girl felt injustice and insulted Amy in front of others.Amy angrily slapped the girl on her face and the girl also returned her slap.The next day, the girl stopped going to school and it was said that her family's small business collapsed and her only brother was also expelled from his school for some reason.It didn't take a genius to understand that this was the handiwork of Princess Amy.The girl's only friend who was from a rich family and in Class D decided to get revenge for her so she poured glue onto Amy's chair.Amy was wearing a short skirt that day and before she sat, no one notice the glue on her chair.Coincidentally, Derek wen
She blushed and hurriedly look around and was glad that many of the students were concentrating on their food and didn't notice their little movement.Turning to him, she glared coldly. "Don't you know we are in public?" "Ar–Are you angry? if you were angry, you can also do the same back, I wouldn't stop you." His expression was so innocent and serious that Thelma felt speechless.She didn't bother to talk to him but instead concentrated on her meal and it was only then that Derek asked the question that was eating his heart."Thelma, didn't you say that you would think about it and give me a reply?"Thelma sighed and know that this guy is really inexperienced. She wanted to think about it, yes! but it wasn't a matter of thinking about it for a night only.However, in reality, she actually didn't have anything to think about. She knew she liked him and he liked her back..."Actually..." She said and Derek felt so nervous that he hurriedly sat up straight, leaving Thelma speechless
After they finished eating, they were taken to school by the driver.The car dropped them at the entrance but to Thelma's surprise the moment she got down from the car, she saw Derek standing lazily at the entrance. And of course, it was with his female fans, admiring his picturesque look early in the morning. Katherine's eyes were wide open as she look at the man she loves so much, she arranged a smile on her face, ready to go and talk to him when Kate pull her by using her bag before and pulling her to her side and said to Thelma."We will meet at home."Thelma nodded with a smile as she watched Katherine stomping her foot as her sister dragged her away.Derek raised his head at the moment and his lips curled up into a smile, surprising the students!They didn't expect the stone-faced school hunk to smile and he looks super sexy too when he does so. Derek didn't care about what they thought or feel as he walk to Thelma.Thelma's heart hammered against her chest as she look at the h
Thelma rolled around on the king-size bed in frustration, just then, her phone beeped, indicating that she had a message. She tapped on the messaging app and was surprised to see that it was from Derek.Derek: Are you sleeping?Sighing, Thelma replied. "Yes, I am sleeping."She placed her phone at the side and continue looking at the ceiling when she realized what she had just sent."Dammit Thelma, why are you so stupid when it comes to him?." She slapped her forehead and pick up the phone, wanting to delete the message when she received another one.Derek: Oh? I don't know that a sleeping person can also text messages.Thelma could see his sarcastic smile and she wanted to insult him but he beat her to it.Derek: Accept my video call.Then she saw his video call request.Scoffing, Thelma typed.Thelma: You opened your mouth and I will do as you say, you might as well go to heaven if you have the ability.Derek was speechless for a moment before he typed back.Derek: I want to tell yo
His index finger reached for her chin and raised it, his emerald eyes almost bore a hole into her as he asked. "What do you mean by rejection?.""And what the hell does that have to do with you?." Thelma asked."A lot." He replied coldly.Suppressing the urge to roll her eye, Thelma smirked. "Uh? A lot? Tell me..."She wasn't able to continue her words when his face suddenly magnified in front of her, before she could say anything, his cold lips landed on hers, causing her eyes to go wide and her mind to become blank.The only word that could come out of her mouth was 'You' and just as she said that his tongue find its way into her mouth, somehow skillfully entangling with hers. She wanted to push him away, but his chest was as hard as a rock, she could only stand still helplessly as he kiss her thoroughly.Just as she was feeling breathless from the kiss, he finally stop. Her eyes were a little misty and her chest heaved up and down, after calming herself down, she asked in anger."
"I will go and redo it." She simply said and stretched forward her hand and grabbed the notebook but he wouldn't let it go. "Give it back!." Thelma frowned but Derek wouldn't budge as he placed his hand on the note."Take it if you can." He said, staring at her seriously."What are you doing, just give it back to me, okay?." "Why should I give it back?."Thelma gritted her teeth, wishing she could just slap this man, but she instead glanced at him as if he was stupid and replied. "Because it is mine." Her tiny voice sounded like an angry kitten and Derek can't help but tease her. He mimicked her tone and said softly "But what's yours is mine."Thelma's eyes widened abruptly as she stared at his shock, then she shook her head. "What do you want Selena to do if she were to hear what you just say?."Derek shook his head. "What does what she felt has to do with me?.""Aren't you guys a couple?." Thelma asked, successfully snatching back her notebook and starting redoing the wrong ones.
Thelma's hand trembled, contemplating whether or not she should answer the call but in the end, she decided against it. She has yet to step into the bathroom when her phone rang again, it was still him. Inhaling silently, she finally answers the call. "Thelma...." His gentle voice sounded, as pure as the purest piano piece, bringing peace to one's heart. She nearly blurted out his name but remembering what he had once done to her, how he had nearly hurt her, she stop herself but instead ask coldly."What can I do for you?."The other party was silent for a moment and just when Thelma was considering whether to end the call or not, she heard his whimper."Thelma, I know you didn't delete my contact from your phone, I am sorry, I have wronged you, I have let you down," Justin said, choking."What are you saying?." Thelma asked with a frown."I just got a little better, so I went to ask for you at your house... and it was then that your sister told me all that I had done to you. I am
"Thelma, you are here early today?." Isabella exclaimed."Am I not early before?." Thelma asked with a frown as she sat down.Isabella chuckled. "Of course, you as early as a turtle." She changed the topic and asked concernedly, "What did the principal say? Are you going to detention?." "Thankfully nope." Thelma beamed."I am relief then." Isabella patted her chest."Thanks for helping me take a day off." "That's what I should do!." They chatted and the day went away peacefully. At closing time, Derek suddenly announced that there was no extra study, surprising them but they didn't ask why, after all, he is the tutor.Thelma found herself in Derek's Bugatti, well, she was told that for her safety, she had to be with him all the time, including going home with him.But then, she noticed that something was wrong, they weren't going in the direction of her house so she couldn't help but ask."Where are we going?."Derek had his leaning on the headrest with his leg crossed elegantly a
Thelma slept in the guest room and she woke up late, probably at 7 AM. "Seems like I slept peacefully." She thought as she walked lazily to the bathroom. After taking a shower, she look at herself in the mirror and realized that her cheeks had become less swollen and she can't help but rub on it and thought cheerfully."Thank goodness it has gone down, otherwise I don't think I can go to school with a big bump on my head." She wore the clothes she wore yesterday and walked to the living room.Derek and Robert were having breakfast already and she pulled a chair out to sit beside them."Good morning." She greeted."Good morning, Miss Thelma." Robert cheerfully greeted, after all, this was his boss's woman."Morning. Do you sleep well?." Derek's deep emerald eyes landed on the girl who was busy eating."Yeah." Thelma nodded, not bothering to look up from the delicious meal in front of her.The breakfast went peacefully and Robert drove them to school.Entering her class, she was told t
Derek bit his bottom lip to stop the laughter from breaking out, "Dinner will be ready soon"."Uh, who is gonna cook?" Thelma asked curiously, it definitely wasn't going to be Derek."Robert of course, I am going out, I will come and call you when it is ready""Oh sure, thanks" Thelma nodded with a smile as she watched his retreating figure."Oh, let me inform Mary so that she wouldn't worry again," she thought and was about to dial Mary's number when she suddenly felt embarrassed. She had a fight with her teacher the day before and the day after, she fought with a classmate, she didn't know how Mary would feel when she heard this so she called Katherine's number instead.The call was answered instantly and Katherine's voice that was dripping with worry could be heard from the other side."Thelly, where are you? It is raining and the driver said he can't find you, are you alright?"Katherine was sitting with Kate in the sitting room, Jonathan was also around and was sitting on anoth
