"Amelia! Breakfast is ready." Mrs Thompson said from the kitchen."Coming Mom," replied Amelia from her room upstairs where she had been arranging her things for her new school.Seventeen year old Amelia Thompson was a stunningly beautiful teenager with long jet black hair, she was tall and athletic with light freckles on her face. This was going to be her first day at Maverick High school and she hated first days at school, with all the students staring at you like you were some kind of alien. Her Dad had been transferred from his place of work and they had to move so they could be closer to the new workplace. His transfer also came with a promotion which meant an increase in salary. Even before all of this, Amelia barely saw her Dad. He left for work every morning before she woke up and got back home late at night after she must have gone to bed. Now with the promotion at his place of work, all of this was about to be made worse. She always complained to her mother about this but her mother just told her that her father was working so hard just to make sure she had a good life and didn't lack anything but she already had everything, her parents were rich enough and she would gladly exchange all their riches for the presence of her father. She missed her old school even though she didn't have a lot of friends there just a few selected ones, everyone thought she was proud just because she was beautiful and rich but still she loved the simplicity of the students as it was a public school but now, her father wanted her to mingle with her fellow rich kids and also a school closer to their new environment. Maverick High school was the first choice as it was known all over the state as the school attended by the children of the rich and elite. Amelia disliked "Rich kids" even though she was one herself, but still, she didn't like their proud nature and the way they all behaved like the world was beneath them."Well, I'll show you all." she muttered to herself while arranging her books in her school bag. After she was done, she picked the bag up and headed downstairs for breakfast."So, Amelia, I hope you're prepared for your new school". Said her Mom at the dining table."Yes Mom," she replied. She didn't want to have this conversation."Very well then, finish up your food and let me drop you off at school before I head over to work" Said her Mom."Yes Mom" she said again. When her Mom first told her that she was going to be changing schools, she wasn't happy, she hated being the new girl at school, the one that everyone stared and pointed at but now, she was determined never to let some spoiled brats at Maverick High bring her down. She finished with breakfast, picked up her backpack and went out to the car, her Mom got into the driver's seat and they were off.Maverick High school, popularly known as Maverick High was a school attended by the children of rich and influential people in the society. It was a school with one of the best teachers in the whole of the USA. The children of a former president were also known to have attended the school which made it all the more popular. The school had many awards to its name, both locally and internationally. Amelia's Mom got into the driveway and parked the car, Amelia got out and mistakenly dropped her backpack. She cursed, bent down and started packing up her things."Well, what a very good omen for a first day at school". She said to herself. By the time she was done picking up her things, her Mom had gotten out of the car and she came around to Amelia's side. "Ok girl, your first day at school.'' Her mother said to her, smiling."Yeah," Amelia replied half-heartedly.Her Mom looked at her with a slight frown, "What's wrong Amy" her Mom asked her with a concerned look on her face."Nothing Mom, I'm fine," she said."Well, you don't look fine, cheer up dear. It's your first day here so it's ok to be nervous a bit, chin up dearie, this would be a breeze". Her Mom said with a slight laugh.Amelia didn't see what was funny but because she loved her parents and didn't want to let them down, she forced a smile."Enjoy your first day at school honey." Her Mom said as she pecked her on the cheek and got into her car. Amelia stood there and watched her Mother drive off till the car was out of sight. Then grudgingly, she turned and walked towards the school's building.
Blake Andrews looked himself over at the mirror again, adjusted his tie and then smiled. At seventeen years old, he was tall and huge with sunny brown hair and a dimple on his cheek whenever he smiled. He was the school's football captain and also the school's bully and resident bad boy of Maverick High school, also very proud and pompous. All the girls fawned over him, always trying to get his attention. He dated a few and broke the hearts of many. This was a new school's year and the beginning of grade Eleven."One more year and I'd be out of high school" he said to himself. He was also going to turn eighteen next year and as the only child and heir to the multi-million dollar company his family owned, he'd finally be able to take over the family business. It was an old tradition in the Andrews' family that whenever the heir turned Eighteen, the company was handed over to him or her."I can't wait.'' he muttered to himself.At that moment, there was a knock on his room door."Come i
Amelia looked around the school's building, trying to get familiar with her surroundings. Her Mom had told her to go straight to the principal's office so that he could show her to her classroom but now, she had no idea on how she could get there. She thought about asking one of her fellow students for directions but none of them even seemed to notice her. They all walked around with their nose up, with an air of superiority."Snooty, snooby Maverick High students". She muttered to herself. Just then, she heard a beep on her phone. She took it out and it saw that it was a text message from her Dad. She opened it and read; ''Amelia darling, Good morning. Your Mom told me that she already dropped you off at your new school. I hope you're good. Enjoy your first day at school. Love you.''She smiled and was about to text back when she mistakenly bumped into someone."Oh, I am so sorry, I didn't see you there.'' She said,"Of co
Blake Andrews couldn't take his eyes off the new girl. Her name was Amelia, he had heard that when she introduced herself earlier. He was a bit shy when she caught him staring. He had never been shy in the presence of any girl before, this was the first time. He couldn't deny the fact that he already had a crush on her."Damn it." He said to himself. He had never really been in love with any girl before. Girls were supposed to be in love with him, not the other way round. Almost all the girls in Maverick High had a crush on him and he loved the attention he was getting from it. He couldn't possibly be in love with someone he barely knows. Or can he? He thought. Either way, he made a mental note of walking up to her after class and telling her he liked her. Just then, Charlie leaned over and whispered in his ear."The new girl, she is beautiful, isn't she?" Charlie said."Yeah, she is.'' Blake said. Charlie had also been staring at Amelia ever since she stepped into the class, he was
"What is wrong with him?" Amelia said to herself as she walked down to the school's laboratory. It was time for chemistry and their teacher wanted to teach them some basic experiments so he asked them to head over to the laboratory.Amelia was thinking about the boy, the sunny brown. He had mentioned his name at the school cafeteria when he came to sit with her. He said his name was Blake, Blake something but she couldn't remember the last name now. She didn't hate him and at the same time she didn't like him. She just wanted to be on her own. Who the hell did he think he is anyway, walking up to her and asking that they hang out. He had mentioned that he was the captain of the football team. And so what, what was she supposed to do with that? She couldn't deny the fact that he was handsome but still that doesn't mean he could get any girl he wanted, anytime he wanted. "Well, if that's what he thinks, then I'm going to show him he's wrong, so wrong.'' She said to herself. She got
AmeliaIt was as if the world around me had been put on mute the second I locked eyes with Blake. The laughter, the whispers, the snickering that had filled the hall only moments before—it all disappeared. Blake’s smirk didn’t falter, though; he just stared at me with that irritating look of superiority, as if he thought he’d already won whatever twisted game this was. But if there was one thing I knew, it was that I was not going to let myself be bullied. Not here. Not in this new school too. I squared my shoulders, refusing to let the lingering silence around us shake me. I could feel dozens of eyes on me, each pair waiting to see if I’d crumble or lash out. They’d be disappointed either way. I’d long ago learned not to give my bullies the satisfaction.Just as I turned on my heel, ready to walk away, I felt a strong hand grip my wrist, yanking me back just enough to make my pulse spike. Blake. He was standing closer than I’d realized, his dark eyes narrowed, his lips twisted into a
