Renee’s POV


    I woke up very early the next morning and did a little workout before going into the bathroom to brush my teeth and take my bath. It’s Monday and fuck it, it’s also gonna be my first day in school here.N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.


    I wasn’t nervous or anxious, I was so excited. I couldn’t wait to see what their school looked like, especially the hot guys. I bet there were so many rich and fucking handsome guys like Shane over there.


    I walked out of the bathroom, dancing to ‘Bad Guy by Billie Eilish’ which was ying on my phone. Yeah, I’m a pretty good dancer who loves shaking her ass and whining her tiny waist and because of my dancing skills, so many club owners had offered me a job to dance in their clubs.


    Some were willing to pay so much for me to be their stripper but hell no. I couldn’t sell my body off to a bunch of cowards who would keep gawking and licking their stupid lips whenever I made the slightest move. Even if I wanted to consider the offer, Nick would bluntly refuse. There was just something about me associating with other guys that pissed him off.


    After dressing up in my short denim skirt and jacket, I tied my long hair into a bun and applied red lipstick. That was the only thing I owned in the history of makeup products.


    “Good morning, Mrs. Grace” I greeted, joining her in the kitchen. She looked at me and smiled before pecking me on both cheeks which made me feel warm.


    “Oh dear, call me Grace.” She said and went back to the deliciously-smelling meal she was making. “How was your night?”


    “All good. I kinda enjoy the bed and pillows”


    Sheughed and turned off the stove’s burner. I helped her with the tes while she dished out breakfast for all of us. When she was done, we both carried the tes to the dining room where Theoden was seated already.


    “Hi, Renee, you… You look drop-dead gorgeous!”


    I smiled while I ced the te in front of him. I lowered myself and gave him a peck on his cheek and the cor of his white shirt. It looked extra beautiful with my lipstick on it.


    “Bon appetit!” I said charmingly and winked at him before walking off to take a seat. Mrs. Grace shook her head and smiled before taking a seat.


    “Mum, I think I’m gonna make her your daughter-inw”


    “You wish” I chipped in and we allughed. Wait, where the hell is La and Shane? Aren’t they going to school today?


    Just then, they walk down the stairs together and I smirked. Speak of the fucking devils. While La kept her eyes on me, ring as hard as she could, Shane tried to avoid my gaze. Yeah, whatever pussy!


    “La honey, can you show Renee around school today? You know she’s new and we don’t want her getting lost”


    “Well I do” She curtly replied and everyone turned to look at her. When she noticed the eyes of everyone, she added. “Not. Of course, we do not want her to get lost while looking for bad boys to shove her up the wall, right Renee”


    Mrs. Grace gasped and dropped her cutleries. “Goodness, La! I will not have you speak to her that way. Now, apologize”


    She furrowed her brows and dropped her cutleries. “What? Why should I apologize?”


    “Now, La, don’t make me repeat myself!” Mrs. Grace ordered and La turned to re at me. If eyes could kill, I’d be six feet under the ground right now.


    “I’m sorry, Renee” She muttered and I noticed the sarcasm at the end. “Is that good enough, mum?”


    Mrs. Grace shook her head and scoffed before turning to look at me with a smile on her face. Jeez, she looked so sweet and it made me wish she was my mother, instead of the other woman who travels around the world with her numerous boyfriends.


    “I’m sorry about La’s behavior, Renee, I guess she’s just trying to step up as an elder sister”


    The fuck? Was she older than me? No fucking way.


    “Thank you, Mrs. Grace but I don’t need a big sister hanging around my butt. Besides, Ashley offered to show me around the school”


    La muttered “Great” while Theoden muttered “Ashes”. Well, I don’t know what thetter’s problem with Ashley was or why they were on each other’s neck back at the party but I was gonna figure it out.


    We ate in silence but then, my phone buzzed. I checked it and smiled when I saw a message from Ashley. She had offered to pick me up and dly, she was here.


    “Thanks for the meal, Mrs. Grace, I enjoyed it” She smiled at me as I stood up from my seat. “I gotta go, bye!”


    I turned and found Shane’s eyes on me, along with La’s. Thetter was bulging and almost popping out of its socket but I didn’t care. She could stare all she wanted.


    “Why the rush? Why not wait and leave with everyone else?” Mrs. Grace asked.


    “Yeah. Look, I’m ready” Theoden beamed and stood up. La turned to re at him but he shrugged nonchntly. “We could go right now. La will hop on Shane’s bike”


    “Don’t you dare!” La spoke through gritted teeth but Theoden had walked off already. She turned back to re at me and I expected her toment on my dressing but she didn’t.


    “No worries, Ashley will be giving me a ride to school” I informed Mrs. Grace and turned to walk off but not without winking at Shane who couldn’t take his eyes off me. “I’ll see you two in school”


    Once I got outside, I waved at Ashley who was waiting outside the gate in her pink convertible car. It looked so fucking expensive and shy, damn! She waved back at me and got down from the car which was parked outside the gate.


    “Ready for your fucking first day at Carnation High?”


    I smiled and walked over to the gate but that was when I saw Theoden driving out of the garage. Oops, I didn’t get to tell him that Ashley was driving me to school already.


    “Hop in, let’s go, baby,” He said as the gate rolled open. Before I could say any more words, he had already paused in front of the gate to stare at the car which was blocking him from the outside. “Who the hell owns that?”


    He got down from the car and when he saw Ashley, he scoffed and shook his head in disbelief. “I should’ve told you earlier but she offered to drive me to school”


    “Come on, let’s get the hell out of here” Ashley red at Theoden and turned started walking back to her car. Unlike me, she was dressed in a beautiful ck dress and silver heels. She had a ck choker on her neck which had a silver pendant on it and silver earrings to match. Everything about her screamed wealth.


    “Get that stupid pink steel out of here!” Theoden yelled at her and she turned to re at him. “Yeah, you heard me right, Ashes”


    “You know if I don’t move this steel out of here, your fucking junk ain’t going nowhere, asshole!”


    A frown marred his forehead and I chuckled. What’s with this two anyway? Ashley got into the car and I did the same. The interior was insanely beautiful and the leather seats felt so fucking smooth against my thighs.


    Ashley applied lipstick and smacked her lips before turning to look at Theoden with a smirk stered on her face. “If you’re so fucking desperate to ride with pretty hot girls, you could join us. That’s if you’d make it through the journey alive”


    He scoffed and shook his head, giving her a pathetic look. “I’m embarrassed by yourme attempt at being cute, Ashes, try again”


    Just as Ashley made to respond, La walked over with Shane and red at Theoden. She was wearing a beautiful dress that stopped an inch below her knees. It would’ve been much more beautiful if wasn’t so fucking long.


    “Let’s go!” She snapped and rolled her eyes at me before getting into the back of the car.


    My eyesnded on Shane but he looked away almost immediately. Is it just me or everyone is acting super weird around here?
