THE FIRE OUTBREAK

last update Last Updated: 2025-06-06 21:15:49

The late afternoon sun shone gently through the tall windows of Rosewood Elite Class, a place for the best students and children from rich families.

Each desk had a screen built into the wood for private reading and lessons. A small but elegant chandelier hung in the middle of the room, casting a warm light over the students sitting in neat rows.

Miss Carolina, the class’s kind but firm teacher, dropped her pen and looked up from her lesson notes with a gentle smile.

“I’ll be stepping out for a few minutes,” she said. “Please use this time wisely to read your book. No noise.”

    Jayden didn’t move right away, then turned his gaze towards the direction where Hope stood barefooted, fists tightened , jaw set.She wasn’t in pain.She wasn't crying She wasn’t fighting backShe was burning with anger.He took a few steps forward, but Hope was already walking away.By Friday morning, everyone at Rosewood Elite could feel the tension. It showed in looks, secret stares, and quiet coldness.Hope walked down the hall with her shoulders straight. She wore the new shoes she got and had a calm look in her eyes but inside her was sharp. She had learned that kindness was not always returned. Some people thought that being quiet meant she was weak.Miss Carolina caught her at her locker.“Hope,” she said softly. “Everything okay?”Hope hesitated, then gave a tight smile. “Yes,Miss Carolina.”Carolina studied her a moment longer but didn’t push. “If you need anything… my door is always open.”Hope nodded, grateful for the offer but unsure how to accept it.

The Queen Bee had fallen and Rosewood was buzzing.But Aria didn’t break.She left the nurse’s office with her head held up high and a bandage on her elbow. She felt proud because she was strong.

    Hope Davies stood frozen at the front gates of Rosewood Elite, clutching the worn strap of her secondhand backpack. Her father’s words echoed in her mind: “Keep your head high, sweetheart and don't let anyone make you feel less of yourself. You earned this.”She stepped forward.The difference between her old school and Rosewood was like night and day. The marble floors shined under the bright lights. Students walked by in expensive shoes and perfect makeup. Laughter and gossip filled the air which were sweet and sharp and hard to ignore.Hope paused her breath when she spotted a tall, lean figure walking past the lockers, his jersey tied around his waist, books in hand.Jayden Stone.She knew him right away. He was the boy from the news and Rosewood’s social media. He looked even better in real life, with smooth brown skin, sharp cheekbones, and dreadlocks that moved as he walked.

The smell of fresh grass mixed with the excited energy of the students. It was game day at Rosewood Elite, and everyone was watching the football field."Aria, sweetie!" her mother called out to her as she ran out the front door that morning, holding a colorful lunchbox. "You forgot this!"Aria had rolled her eyes in a rude way but took it anyway, more to end the scene than out of gratitude. Her mother, always looking gorgeous and classy, lightly kissed both of her cheeks before moving back. Her father, Daniel Richmond, a powerful businessman in Rosewood, walked up to her, opened his briefcase and brought out some money.“Here,” he said with a warm smile, slipping a folded bundle of cash into her hand. “Just in case you need anything.
