Barbara "Barbie" Jones POV
I am Barbara Jones, I have been dreaming of going to Harvard college for architecture. They are very selective when it comes to admission process, and you can't even buy your way in. I am smart, don't get me wrong but I applied a month ago and my application is still pending. Two weeks ago, one of my Uncles that works there contacted us and told us about a private school, Philips Academy (Andover) that is linked with Harvard and if I'm able to get good grades that I would be given admission in Harvard. So I am transferring there for my senior year I stared at my reflection, smoothing out the wrinkles on my dress. My mom, dad, and Uncle Stanley were all smiles, but I could sense the underlying tension. Today was the day I'd leave for Phillips Academy in Massachusetts. "Barbie, sweetie, you're going to do great things," my mom said, her voice trembling. I forced a smile, trying to reassure her. "I'll be fine, Mom. I promise." My dad cleared his throat. "Remember, Barbie, you're going to Phillips Academy for one reason: to get into Harvard. Don't let anything distract you." I rolled my eyes, feeling a familiar surge of frustration. "Dad, I know. You've only reminded me, like, a million times." "if you need anything just contact us, but don't be extravagant, I don't want to go bankrupt" he joked. "good thing you know that you will, because I will buy all the expensive things I lay my eyes on" I chuckled. "I would just cut you out" he said and then laughed. Uncle Stanley chuckled. "Hey, kiddo, your dad just wants the best for you. And I'm happy to help make that happen." As we hugged goodbye, I felt a mix of emotions: excitement, nervousness, and a hint of resentment. Why did my parents have to be so overbearing? The drive to the airport was quiet, with only Uncle Stanley's occasional attempts at small talk breaking the silence. When we arrived at Phillips Academy, the picturesque campus took my breath away. As we walked to the principal's office, Uncle Stanley filled me in on the details. "So, Barbie, you'll be staying in a dorm room with three other students. It's a great opportunity to make new friends." I raised an eyebrow. "Three other students? You mean, like, roommates?" Uncle Stanley nodded. "That's right, kiddo. You'll have to learn to share space and get along." he also added "and your dad prepared a chaffeur for you when you reach there, plus you would be staying in a dorm room" I frowned, feeling a twinge of anxiety. This was not what I had signed up for. I frowned and said "I think I would hate it here" He looked at me and then said "you can always come back home" I glared at him. "I mean it's for the best" "I can manage". When we arrived at the principal's office, I was greeted by Principal Valencia, a stunning woman with piercing brown eyes and a warm smile. She was a tall beautiful woman with brown straight hair, she had curves and she was young. She wore a white shirt with a black straight skirt that shows her curves and the put on a black blazer. "hi, I am Principal Valencia are you the transfer student?" she was very polite, I liked her already. Stanley replied for me " yes she is, her name is Barbara Jones, beautiful" "oh! a Jones, I would go through your files" yes I forgot to mention, my family is very rich and popular. "I'm thrilled to have you on board. I must say, your file is impressive." I blushed, feeling a surge of pride. "Thank you, Principal Valencia." "you are here for architecture, and you want to be able to secure a spot in Harvard, that's what your file says" I nodded and then she proceeded " you would have to pick an extracurricular activity, just come to my office tomorrow morning" "sure" I replied. "it also says here in your file that you are to stay in an expensive dorm room, we have only one left, and someone outside would take you there" "sure beautiful, I'm sure it would look good like you" Stanley said to her with a Flirtatious smile. Valencia blushed and then said "I hope so too" Stanley only smirked. This is one thing I hate about him, he always flirts with any lady he sees. As Uncle Stanley excused himself to take a call, Principal Valencia leaned in, her voice taking on a conspiratorial tone. "Barbara, I have to warn you: the dorm room you'll be staying in is...interesting. The students you'll be rooming with are all unique, to say the least." I raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "Unique?" Principal Valencia smiled mischievously. "Let's just say they'll keep you on your toes." As I left the principal's office, I couldn't help but wonder what lay ahead. Little did I know, my life was about to get a whole lot more complicated.When I entered the dorm room, I was greeted by three guys lounging on the couch, engrossed in a heated gaming session. I cleared my throat, trying to get their attention. "Excuse me," I said, trying to sound assertive, but I couldn't get any of their attention. I then walked over to the TV and unplugged it, they then screamed "what the f**k" I succeeded in getting their attention "can you please get out of this place, and where are my roommates?" "roommates? this is our room, I think you were roomed with us" one of them said. "what! I was roomed with boys!!" I yelled. The guys exchanged skeptical glances, and one of them muttered under his breath, "Great, just what we need." I stood frozen in the doorway, my eyes scanning the room in horror. How could they do this to me? how can they room me with... boys. One of them, a tall, dark-haired guy with piercing blue eyes, stood up from the couch and walked towards me, a charming smile plastered on his face. "Hi, I'm Ethan," h
"won't you guys introduce yourselves to me?" I asked politely."you've already lost your chance, cute face" the other guy said, and then went upstairs, to his room I guess."I'm Ethan, and the guy said just left is Jasper, and the other rude one is Liam" the third guy introduced himself and his friends.I smiled at him " I am Barbara, you can call me Barbie" I also gave an introduction."sure, let me show you to your room" he helped me with my luggages and led the way to my room, he also helped me to place them inside the room. Isn't he a gentleman?"if you need anything I'm just over there" he pointed at the door opposite mine."sure, and thanks for helping" he smiled and then finally left, while I shut the door.I looked around my room, it was large I wouldn't lie, even though it isn't as large as mine back in LA. I arranged my things and took a shower, because I was feeling sticky. When I was done with taking a shower, I decided to take a little nap. I woke up to the sound of
Liam and Ethan both went upstairs to get changed for the party while Jasper remained downstairs with me, as much as I hate to be. "so you coming beauty? but before you can come with me, you would have to put on a bikini" I glared at him, while he only laughed "what, I'm sure that there is a curve under those clothes of yours". He then came close to me an put my loose hair behind my ear and bent his ear to whisper in my ear "you have the most beautiful eyes, I want to drown myself in them" We heard someone clear their throat, then he pulled his face from my ear and smirked "I would've loved to spend more time with you beautiful, but I can't" "can you stop that Jasper, you're making me feel uncomfortable" Liam said putting on an irritated look, while Jasper only rolled his eyes. "let's go" Ethan said and then the rest followed him to leave the house. After they had left, I released the breath that I didn't know I was holding and sighed. My phone then started ringing, I picke
When I got outside I saw my chaffeur standing close to my car holding the door for me, as I was about to enter inside the car Liam got in and the chaffeur opened the other side of the car for me to get in. What the heck! "miss Jones can you please share your ride with mr Edwards here, until his ride is ready, that is within the week?" the chaffeur said politely. Now I remembered where I saw Liam from, his dad was my dad's friend, and he attended my father's birthday party with his dad. I smiled and said "of course". I then got inside the car. Liam looked at me and then frowned, "you should've asked Jasper for a ride, rather than staining my car seat, you jerk" I glared at him. "jerk? you are a hypocrite in that aspect, and did you think if I could I wouldn't?" he answered me while I scoffed. "a**hole" "jerk" "f**king idiot" "stupid bitch" I then decided not to reply him again, and the rest of the ride was silent. **************************************************
When I arrived back at the apartment, I soon started feeling hungry, yah! just f**k my life. I didn't see anyone around so I decided to use the opportunity to find something to eat. I went to the kitchen, placed my backpack on the kitchen counter and went to the fridge. I opened it and to my surprise, I saw a sandwich wrapped and placed neatly inside. I quickly got it out and unwrapped it. I also poured out some milk to use and flush it down. I sat down to eat it "looks like someone is hungry?" I looked behind me and I saw Jasper smirking at me. My eyes lingered to his lips, and I can't help but notice how pink and kissable they were. My cheeks then turned bright red, I was blushing. Seriously? I hate all these hormones! Soon I noticed his lips curl up into a smirk, and I blushed harder "I wonder what's going on in that silly head of yours" Jasper said, grabbing a banana from the fruit basket. I turned back to eat my food, what was wrong with me? I wondered. Why is my mind alw
Today was another day of school, and my stupid alarm, woke me up from my place of comfort. I grudgingly got up from the bed and took a shower. I dressed up in my uniform, arranged my bag, and I was ready for school. I went downstairs and to my surprise I saw my breakfast kept neatly on the table. I smiled and sat down to eat it "imagine if the food was poisoned" I heard Ethan say from behind me. "then the three of you would be sued for murdering me" I replied him, while he chuckled. "by the way, was it you who prepared it?" He scratched the back of his hair nervously, okay, why was he nervous? "uhm! yah, I thought that you might be hungry" I smiled at him and said "thanks" he only nodded and sat down to eat his own food. "uhm! where are the rest?" I asked because I haven't seen any of them, it isn't as if I want to. "Jasper has soccer practice, and Liam needed to do something, so they went together". I nodded at his reply, and we continued eating. After we were done with h
Barbie's POV While I was in the cafeteria with Jasmine and her friends, a message flashed in my phone making it to vibrate. I think it was the whole school that received the message, cus everybody suddenly started going through their phone. After sometime everybody soon started laughing. I brought out my phone and I saw the message, it was Lucy, dripping with chocolate drink. She was tagged "chocolate clown" Sasha one of Jasmine's friends then said "looks like someone is hungry for chocolate. Riley another of her friend giggled and said "OMG! I think you should comment that" "way ahead of you" Sasha said typing something on her phone, which I assumed was her stupid comment. Jasmine cleared her throat "girls, you know that Barbie here is friends with Lucy" "no it's fine" I said giving a small smile. To be honest, it wasn't alright, these girls were total bitches. They remind me of Tracy, the bitch who warned me to stay away from Jasper. ************************************
When I and Jasper arrived at the apartment, I saw Liam in the living room playing a video game with Ethan. I then remembered that he took my car leaving me stranded. I walked up to him and dragged the ps from his hands, making Ethan to win him. "what's your problem you bitch?" Liam snapped angrily at me. "I was just about to beat this amateur here" he pointed at Ethan. Ethan chuckled and said "yah! but that amateur beat you". Liam then glared at me. "I have somewhere to be at now, leave the door open for me when I return" Jasper said and then left the house. Liam who was still angry said "so do you care to tell me your reason for doing what you did?" "you took my car, leaving me stranded" I replied him, not hiding the fact that I was mad. I can swear that I saw Ethan's eyes flash with hurt, I wonder why. Liam got up from the couch "I would be doing more of that, so you better get used to it. Goodnight bro" he said to Ethan and then went upstairs, jerk! I turned to leave
Barbie's POV I opened my eyes and it landed on the chandelier on the ceiling, where was I? oh, I remember, I was in my bedroom, I came here for my dad's birthday. I tried standing up, but my head hurts so much, I hate these stupid migraines. I stood up from the bed, deciding to get a tablet downstairs. But when I stood up, I saw a glass of water with a tablet on top of my lampstand, I quickly picked it up and drank it. I thank whoever did this for me. I freshened up after that, then went downstairs. I saw my mum in the kitchen reading a book, while the chefs were cooking. I went to the kitchen to eat an apple. "some people just sits in the kitchen, so it'll look like they are doing the cooking" I whispered loudly so that she would hear it. I saw her drop her book on the table "hey, is that what you say to your mum in the morning?" I sighed "good morning mum" "you know I wouldn't blame you for not saying that earlier, I mean not all of us had a good morning, some of us wo
"go to hell" I said, turned and left. As I was walking, cus I was really bored, I saw Ethan, I wonder what he was doing here. I walked over to him "you're here" He smiled "of course, why else would you see me?" "I didn't know you were......" "rich?" "no, I thought my mum was only inviting my dad's friend" "oh, well my mum is his secretary" "oh, that explains it. So I'm like really bored, so I decided to come talk to the only person I know here, and I have been looking for you through out yesterday, where the hell have you been?" I blabbed, yah, that's how bored I was. "cool, and about that, my mum really needed me here" he replied me. "you live here?" I wanted to know, cus I've lived here all my life and I haven't seen him. "no, she just moved here recently for the job" oh! now I get it. "I really need alcohol, but I doubt there is any here" I wanted to say something, and I definitely needed it, because of Jasper and Liam, I loathe them so much. He chuckled "do you think
Barbie's POV During the ride to the airport, I decided to text Dolly to let her know that I wouldn't be going anywhere with her. After we reached the airport, we got into our flight and then after about 6.5 hours we reached LA. There was a Tesla model car waiting for us outside the airport. We got into it to and drove to my house. It took us approximately 45mins to reach the house. We got out from the car, I and my Uncle went to the front door and then rang the doorbell. While waiting I asked "so would I be leaving on Monday or Tuesday?" "depends on when your mum wants you to come back" he replied casually. The front door was then opened revealing our Butler, Franklin. Franklin smiled at us and made way for us to come in. After we were inside the house, he took I and my Uncle's box "I'll help you with that" "sure, where is my mum?" "she should be in the kitchen" he then took the luggages upstairs. "I'll go find mum, what are you going to do?" I asked my Uncle, when I wa
My alarm blasted in my ears, I didn't even set one, so why the f**k is it even ringing. "ahhhhhhh!!!!" I screamed. I sat up and looked to my alarm table and saw that it was my phone that was ringing, I grumbled and picked it up ready to pour out my frustrations to the caller. "why would you be calling someone this early in the morning, are you that jobless that you want to just disturb someone's peace?" I yelled at whoever was calling me this morning. "young lady, is that how you speak to your mother? or is it because I'm not your favorite parent?" I heard my mum's voice over the phone. Just great. "I didn't know it was you, I mean any one that wakes up to their phone blasting would surely be mad. But anyways I'm sorry" "good, you are coming over to LA today, so get ready and Stanley is on his way to pick you up" she ranted. Wait, LA? "mum, you should have told me yesterday, I have plans. I'm calling dad now" "don't, it's his birthday and I want to throw him a surprise par
I stopped by my car after school, I needed to leave this place. The chaffeur opened the door for me, and I got in, and obviously Liam was in the car. The chaffeur took off to our apartment. "so you and Jasper are a thing" I looked at him trying to check for any reaction from his face, but there was none. "is that a question, or you are just stating the obvious?" "the obvious? oh, so the rumors are true" he said while I rolled my eyes. "what rumors? people are saying stuffs about me? OMG! I have to transfer schools, my identity has been ruined" I said sarcastically. "I think you should also change town, so that I wouldn't have to see you again, or maybe country too" jerk! "so, why are you so interested in this art club?" I decided to start up a conversation with him. He looked at me for a moment and then kept his head straight. "just cus we are in the same car doesn't mean we are friends" "no, for the fact that you are in my car, you have to answer all of my questions"
Barbie's POV After my last class for the day, I had to go for my art class, the extracurricular activity given to me. I have already skipped it since this week, so I can't skip it again, else I would have. "so do you have any extra class?" Dolly asked me. "yah, art" I made sure I didn't hide the fact that I hated it in my voice tone. She gave a toothy grin "really, but I have never seen you before?" Oh, so she was in art class, I guess I wouldn't be hating it there. "about that, I have never attended it, this would be my first time" "I'm sure you would love it, trust me. Now let us get going" she pulled me with her. When we got inside, we took a sit by the window, so that I could be looking outside instead of paying attention. After sometime the class was filled up and the teacher walked inside. "I can see some new faces here, looks like the authority has done some work" I scoffed, authority my foot. "for today's class, we would be doing a project and it would be in gro
The moment I stepped foot inside the school hallway, everybody stopped what they were doing and turned to stare at me. I ignored them and walked to my locker. As I walked towards my locker I began hearing whispers. "so this is her" "yes, she is his new s**t" "I wonder how Tracy took the news" "I even heard that she had s** with him at the party" "she has no shame" "I also heard that she is pregnant" "she just got here and has already stolen my love, who does she even think she is" "I can't wait for Tracy to deal with her" Okay, what the real f**k? We had s**? Yah, that's highschool for you, filled with wannabes, spreading fake news everywhere, cus from what Jasper told me we only kissed, and if someone took my virginity I would know, and pregnant? Gosh people are so stupid. I didn't care about what they said about me, I took my books that I would be needing and went to my first class. My first class was s** education, I wonder why it is s subject, and it is even co
When I got home, I went to my room and fell on my bed, I didn't even have the strength to take off my clothes, I just dozed off. The next morning when I woke up, my head hurt, I was having a hangover. it hurts so much. I tried getting up from my bed but I couldn't, when I turned around I saw a glass of water and a medicine on my lampstand, I quickly took it and swallowed it. "you came back drunk at midnight, so I thought I'd keep this for when you wake up" I saw Ethan standing at my door. "thanks, now I feel better. Sometimes I wonder why one must always have a hangover whenever they drink" He chuckled "and that's why teenagers shouldn't drink" I rolled my eyes "yah, like they would ever listen" then we both burst out laughing. "you should probably get ready for school, you wouldn't want to get late on your first week" he said with his signature smile. "I would rather get more sleep, who needs school anyways"I said and layed back down to sleep. "it's 7am, so you better
"were is the party located at?" I asked. We have been walking for about 15mins now and we were yet to locate the place. "it's close by, we would soon be there" Riley answered me. After 5 more minutes, we arrived at a house, the house was close by to the school. "whose house is this?" I was curious, and also, so that incase I was lost I could call the cops and tell them whose house I was in. "Raphael, Riley's brother" Jasmine replied me. "and you need to relax, or haven't you been to a party before?" Why would she ask me that? I've gone to all sort of parties back in LA, but not a random persons party. "I have been to tons of parties" "great, for a second I thought you were a nerd, and Jasmine's description of you didn't suite you at all" Sasha said with her stupid accent, while I rolled my eyes. "yah! I thought so too, cus if you are, you better head back home, I wouldn't want you to ruin my brother's party" the other bitch said, and she and Sasha went inside the house.
