I closed my eyes and tried to tell myself that it's just a dream. I opened my eyes again and saw Cole and his friends were laughing at me. Cole was walking towards me earlier and he pretended to slip and spill all of his drinks on me.
It was coke and now my whole body is sticky. I quickly ran to my locker to get my spare uniform and ran again to the toilet.
"Oh! The weirdo is all sticky!" Gina said in her high pitch tone.
"You're sad?" Gina asked but I tried to walk past her to change my clothes. Suddenly the bell rings and great, I'll be late for class. Gina and her minions walked out first and I quickly changed my uniform.
I think I'll just do Cole's project and be done with him. Today I have a schedule at 11 so I will ditch school. My school knew about my real identity, my parents came to school letting them my job.
After I changed, I walked back to my locker and texted Flora to pick me up at 10 cause I need to take shower first. I can't go to the photoshoot completely sticky.
After I texted Flora, I ran to class and lied about why I got in late. I can't concentrate in class, my mind was everywhere especially thinking about Cole. What's his problem? He really hates me that much that his goal is to make my life hell.
On break time, I walked to my locker to get my stuff before leaving school. Cole stopped me by standing in front of me.
"What do you want?" I asked.
"Where are you going?" He looked at me suspiciously.
"I asked you first."
"My homework." He said.
"I have not make it." I said trying to walked past him but he caught my wrist.
"Where are you going? Ditching school?"
"I have to go! Let me go!" I tried to pull my wrist away from himz
"Won't let you until you finish my project." He said and I looked at him completely pissed
"I'll do it but not now."
"I don't trust you." He hissed.
"The choice is yours." I pushed his hand away and I ran out from school straight into my car.
"Let's go home first." I told her and she nodded. I leaned my body back to my seat and sighed.
"Where is this photoshoot again?"
"Watch company." She said and I nodded. I pulled my wig off and took my braces off. I've been doing these for the past 3 years and I have no problem with it until Cole.
"What time we will go to New York?"
"9 in the morning." She said and I nodded.
"My friends are going to be there right?"
"Yes, they will be on the same flight as you." I squealled and Flora chuckled.
"Go shower.. a quick one!" She stopped at my house and I quickly ran inside to take a shower. After showering, I put on my denim jeans and baggy shirt. I grabbed my bag with my other phone along with my purse.
"Ready?" She asked as I got into the car.
"Yes, let's go." She drove me to the photoshoot and as soon as I arrived. They gave me my clothes and got into the photoshoot right away. I did my job professionally and finished pretty quickly.
"That's a wrap!" The photographer said and I walked to me for a handshake.
"Thank you everyone!" I said and walked to Flora.
"I forgot to tell you that Clarissa has a concert next month so can you empty my schedule that day?" I asked.
"Of course, you're going alone or will go with your family?"
"Family but will sit separately." I said and I hate it. I hate that I can't sit with my family at concerts. My parents won't let me because they're waiting for me to graduate. I know they have their own reasons for it and I understand that.
"Okay, you don't need to worry. I'll arrange it for you." Flora said and I hugged her.
"You're the best! Do I have a schedule after this?" I asked.
"No, but your schedule ahead will be so packed." She reminded me and I nodded. I decided to call my sister after I got into the car.
"Clarissaaaaa."
"Yes, Cassie? Do you need anything?"
"What are you doing now?" I asked curiously.
"Just practicing and composing. Why?"
"Can I go visit you?"
"Of course you can, buy me some bread on the way, will you? I'm so starving." I chuckled.
"Okay, like usual?"
"Yup, like usual."
"Okay, see you!" I ended the call and turned to Flora who just got back from the toilet.
"Your sister's place?" She asked.
"Yes and she wants cheese bread." Flore drove me to my sister's place and we stopped by her favorite bakery. I bought some of her favorites.
"Hello, are you Katherina?" Two beautiful girls recognized me.
"Yes, I am."
"Can we take a picture together?"
"Yes! Of course!" I took a photo with two of them and then paid for my bread. After that I went straight to her place. I put my things on her table and she walked over to me.
"Hey missy.."
"Here.." I gave her the plastic bag full of breads.
"Thankyou."
"Welcome." My phone school rang and my sister saw the name and I pressed the red button.
"Who's that?" She asked.
"What? No one."
"I'm not stupid."
"My friend at school." I said and he called me again. I gestured my sister to wait and I walked out from the room to pick up the call.
"What do you want?"
"Where are you?" He asked.
"Somewhere on earth."
"I heard piano in the background. Where are you?"
"What do you want? Just tell me, you don't need to ask me where I'm at."
"I want you to come to my house and do my project." He said and I rolled my eyes.
"No."
"Come quickly before I change my mind." He ended the call and I can't believe he wanted me to go there. I decided to ignore him and went back to my sister.
"Can you tell me who's the asshole?" She asked as she turned to me smirking.
"No one."
"No one? I don't think it's no one."
"Boyfriend?" My eyes widen.
"Boyfriend? For real?" She added and I shook my head.
"No, he's not. Rissa, I have to go.." I said because I don't want her to ask me questions like this.
"Go on a date?" She teased me.
"No!"
"Fine, you can go and make sure you tell me lter about your secret boyfriend." I ran away before the can tease me more. I called Flora to pick me up and drop me at Cole's place but that's when I realized I'm not dressed as Cassie.
Shoot!
I went back home first to dress as Cassie and then I went straight to Cole's place.
After I went home to dress as Cassie and then left to Cole's house. I walked to him and took his history book from his hands. "Help me." He said and I rolled my eyes. "Explain how did the World War 2 happen?" I read the question and turned to Cole who is waiting for me to answer."What? Let's just copy it from the internet." He said and I sighed. I opened the history book and pointed at the World War 2 section. I showed it to him and gestured him to type it. "It has 200 numbers, I hate it." He whined."Do it." I looked straight into his eyes."Help me, you do 199 and I'll do 1." He said and I glared at him hard. He glared at me back and crossed his arms in front of his chest showing a biceps. "It's for your own good, Cole. Do it yourself." I said."I hate school.""Who doesn't?" "You're a nerd so of course you like it." He said and I rolled my eyes."I hate it as much as you do but I want a good score. You should have that mind set too." I got up and sat on the edge of his bed.
"Ahhhhh!" I ran to my bestfriends and hugged them. "I missed you so much!" I said as I hugged them tightly. Today, we will have a fitting in New York for the fitting and some other schedules. "Me too!" We all squealed together. We rarely have time together because we're all busy with our thing, school and most of the time our schedule doesn't match at all. Usually we always make time with each other every 2 weeks. "Come on girls, it's boarding time." Cherice's manager said. We turned to the paparazzi and waved before going into the airport. We always have them around us and sometimes they get closer but not today. We have our bodyguards and managers today. We checked in and walked into the lounge. I'm going to sit next to Sienna today. Elle will be with Cherice. We sat in the lounge."So.. spill the tea, my dear." Sienna said."Right, spill the tea." Cherice said and I turned to Elle. She gestured me to go ahead."I was dared to ask the one and only heir to the Harrison hotel out.
I walked into my school building and I was greeted with Cole scaring the life out of me with his friends. I fell on my butt hard and I groaned in pain. I swear, I'm starting to get annoyed by his action. "Good morning, girlfriend." He put his arm around my shoulder as I got up."I'm not your girlfriend." I hissed as I pushed my glasses. "You should consider yourself lucky because everygirl wants to be my girlfriend. You're such a liar." He whispered and I pushed him away. I ignored him calling me and walked to the toilet. I stopped when I saw Gina and her minions. Not only her but there's Zee who happened to be another bully. "You need to stop getting all close to Cole." She smirked. Yes, I just got into the devil's lair. "I'm not-" She slapped me hard. Cassie calm down, you'll be okay. Calm down. "Don't even think getting near him again, you hear me?" She hissed coldly as she grabbed me by my throat. I nodded and she smiled. "Stay away or you'll live in hell." She said and sh
Today is my sister's concert. I've been looking forward to it since last week. She's been practicing so hard and I can't wait to see it. As for Cole, it's been a month since I got close to him. He's still being a jerk as always. He often pranked me at school such as spilling his food to me, hid my book and put a glue to my book. The bullies have been ignoring me because they saw me being bullied by Cole so they all were happy for that.Even though he bullied me, he made me play PS5 with him. He often lose too and he hates me for it. We spent a lot of time together and he's nice when we're alone. That's why I started to like him. We have this weird hate relationship at school but pretty chill when we're alone. I guess he's just embarassed to be with me since I'm this nerd who dressed like a nun. And he still called me as his girlfriend. Back to my sister's concert. I looked at myself in the mirror and smiled. I'll be going there as Katherina Locks. I dressed beautifully with my ha
"Good morning students, we have a new student joining us today." The new student walked in and my eyes widen. No way! It's Jake Evans but why is he doing here? We have 3 months left for school."Hello everyone, I'm Jake Evans." He moved to London about 5 years ago and now he's back? We rarely talked to each other but our families are close. "Okay, Jake. You can sit behind Cassie. Cassie, please raise your hand." I raised my hand and when he saw me, his face lit up and quickly walked to his seat. "What the?!" He said and I turned to him."Long time no see!" I said and he hugged me. We've always been close when he's here. "How are you? Still with the.. wig?" He whispered and I nodded."Sit down!" I hissed and he chuckled. He sat down and smiled widely."Katherina Locks." He teased me, he always teased me for it. "Okay, find a pair students. We'll be working on a project together." "Let's be a pair." Jake said without asking. He just dragged his table beside me. I can say Jake is pr
"Go to the right!" I screamed at Cole and we're currently playing games."No, we will die if we go to the right." "But the pattern is different now! Just go to the right!" I hissed and he listened."See.. we're safe." I let out a relieved sigh. I turned to him glaring and he gave me an awkward smile. "Hey!" He protested when I took his console."Are you really a nerd? Last time I check, a nerd should not be good at games.." He said flatly as he took his console back and started a new game."We need to stop, Cole." I sighed."No, let's play another game.""That's what you said earlier!" "One more.." He begged and I shook my head."No. You have to make that project." I hissed and my phone rang. I grabbed it from my bag and it's Flora."Cassie, where are you?" Oh boy."I'm at my friend's house.""We have an interview and a photoshoot now. Get your ass home!" She said and I panicked. "I have to go now." I said as I closed my bag."Where and why are you in a hurry?" He asked as he stop
"Cole, I want you to meet someone." His dad poked him and took him away. I was so relieved that he's not around anymore. I took a really deep breath and let it out slowly. "You talked to him." Cherice whispered as I got back to my seat and I nodded. "What did he say?" She asked curiously. "We introduced ourselves and that's it." I said. She suddenly got up and walked away."Cherice, wher-" "Katherina, sorry about earlier. How old are you?" Great, just great. I want to avoid him and here he is."You don't know me?" I asked in a very careful tone. I tried to lower my voice a little."I know you, I saw you a lot in billboards but don't really know about you." He chuckled nervously. "Oh I see. I'm 18 years old." I said as I grabbed the small glass of pudding looking at it. "We're the same age then." He said and I turned to him nodding. "You're reminding me of someone." I froze when he said that."I'm sorry?" "I said you reminded me of someone, she likes to look at her food just li
"He what? Can you.. slow down?! Stop talking like a zombie is chasing you!" Cherice hissed. I just made Elle, Cherice and Sienna having a slee over at my house. "He told me that he has a girlfriend when I'm sitting next to him as Katherina. He decribed Cassie perfectly. He described as messy black hair, glasses and braces." I said and the three of them looked at me without blinking. "He's into you." Cherice said."He didn't even care about Katherina, this hot girl.." Elle said gestured my body."He's so into Cassie." Sienna said."You like him right?" Cherice asked."I think.. I do-" Before I can finish the sentence, they squealed together. Elle even threw a pillow at me. "Ugh! Stop, let's move on to the next topic!" I said shyly."Move on? This is such a big news, out of the four of us.. it's pretty hard for you to like someone!" Elle said and I shook my head."It's because no one wants to be with a loser." "Even as Katherina, you rejected a lot of guys." Sienna rolled her eyes.
