I got down but found out that they had already finished eating; the cook gave me a toast to eat in the car since I would be late if I sat down and ate in the kitchen. I was sitting in the car, it is the first time that someone ever drives me somewhere and I have to say that it was a nice experience.
The driver opened the car's door and I stepped out, the college was huge, I heard about its name before but it is my first time seeing it. My friends from my old college called me when I was passing the college's gate.
" Hey, Lily. Where are you, it is already past 7, the first section will start soon." Diana, my childhood friend stated.
" I won’t go for a while. I will meet with ya soon, we will talk then."
" Okay."
I doubted for some reason that my mobile could be hacked, I had that feeling and I did not want to risk saying something I should not have that would reach Gerald's ears. It seems that he hit the maid just to force me into obeying his order, his ways are different and weird. I can't really say they are weird since this ambiance is not my normal average one, I am new to all this after all so I may be the weird one there.
I went to the director's office so he would give me my schedule and instruct me on the college's rules. I was enrolled in a college of pharmacy and I feared that this university would not have a pharmacy college but luckily, it did. I want to be a pharmacist since I was a little child; I like chemistry and combining different compounds.
My first period was Pharmacology and the doctor didn't expect to see me entering with the director to introduce me to the class in the middle of the years. It seems that the director is taking good care of me to an extent that attracted everyone's attention; no director accompanies one of the newly transferred students to their class.
" Hello, I am Lily Anderson; I like hip-hop music and all sorts of sports. It is nice to meet you." I said heading to an empty seat at the back left of the class next to the window.
The boy in front of me turned his head and initiated a conversation.
“ Hey I am Penny, nice to meet you too, what college were you in?" he asked.
The girl next to him also looked at me and waited for me to respond.
I assumed that it would be a headache to say my real college since it is unknown to them, a college of the poorest families while this one seems to be famous and highly hard to enroll in.
" I was home tutored," I lied.
" Whoa, that's cool... doesn't that mean you don't have many friends here, right?" the girl asked.
" I am Alicia by the way," she winked.
" No, I don't," I replied getting uncomfortable with their questions, their clothes were so shiny and most probably so expensive; I understand now why Gerald insisted that I wear the clothes in my closet.
" Mr. Penny and Mrs. Alicia. You should focus on this class or you will be doomed in the finals, you already got very bad grades in the mid-term." The professor commented.
They were embarrassed when the whole class laughed and quickly fixed their position focusing on the board.
Alicia threw me a paper though and I read it.
‘Let’s become friends.'
I didn't know honestly whether I should make any friends or not, I came here for a sole purpose which is monitoring Shawn for the time being and setting him straight but I don't even know what college is he in nor how to do that.
It was break time and I was sitting with Alicia and Penny in the cafeteria, I hoped to spot Shawn and I did. He was sitting two tables away from me on my left side, he chatted with a girl that wore high heels and put on a load of makeup, she was so beautiful though.
" Are you already interested in Shawn?" Penny asked.
" No, the girl just attracted my attention."
" Oh, she is Molly. The college's number one cheerleader, your typical attention-whore." Alicia replied.
" She and Shawn are dating," Penny added.
" They look so spoiled," I murmured but unluckily they heard me.
" Molly, yes. Shawn, no." Penny corrected.
" What do you mean?"
" He started his own business when he was 12 years old, do you know the Femury brand?"
" The perfume's brand Femury?" I asked.
" Yes, he is the one who created this brand and even combined the compounds himself to reach that odor everyone admires," Penny explained.
" Wait, does this mean he is..."
" Yes, he is also in our college," Alicia affirmed me.
" He is in the next class as well; you will have a chance to meet the notorious Shawn Gerald." Penny laughed.
We finished eating and headed to our next class, concluded that the best option to get closer with him is to be on the same project as him. I do not know when that is going to be so I had to create an opportunity.
Before the prof entered the class, I stopped him to ask him about the grading system.
" It is as I told you earlier, Lily. Do you have any more questions?" the English prof asked.
" Aren't we going to make a debate? In my old college, I was going to participate in one but unfortunately, I had to transfer. I always wished to practice my English in a serious interaction."
" Nice idea, Lily. That could be your next assignment instead of writing a report. It was time to change the theme a little bit."
We entered the class and I waited for it to end so he would announce the news to the whole class.
" Okay guys, that's it for today. Your assignment for this week would be a debate, you are 20 in total, and you will be divided into four groups debating two topics. I will leave the topics for you to choose. The first row against the second and the third row against the fourth." The prof said before leaving.
Bingo, I will be on the same side as Shawn and Penny while Molly and Alicia will be against us.
There was a gap before the next prof enters so we took the chance and started choosing our topic for the debate. We gathered all 10 to choose a suitable one." What do you think of animal testing? It suits our field and it is a major topic." Alicia stated."No, I would hate the opposite group if they chose to be with animal testing," Penny said." Who told you that your own group would even be against it?" George joked." No, just choose something else for god's sake, I will cry a river if you chose that one," Penny argued." What about; gambling should be illegal." Shawn proposed. The word 'gambling' rang through my ear, which could not be a mere chance. I bet his dad already told him about how I got here. What a fuckin asshole!" I agree, I agree," Molly said and it was obvious that she only agreed because it was Shawn's idea." I don't mind." George and Alicia replied and we ended up choosing that topic." Our group wo
As soon as his head got too close to mine, I head-butted the bridge of his nose which caused him to raise his head placing his hands on his nose as it probably stings by now, I quickly passed by him and got out of the room. " You know this is your room, right? You will eventually come back." He shouted. I decided to go speak with Gerald to see for myself what is he talking about. I headed to his office and knocked on his door, he granted me permission to go in and I stepped into the office then sat on the armchair facing Gerald who was immersed in some papers. " What do you need?" He asked coldly as he pushed the papers aside to focus on our conversation. I had a lot to ask but facing him like that made me forgot what I wanted to say, his aura is so dominating. I have to be careful from now on when dealing with him and choose my words carefully. " I heard that you might want to marry me off to your son," I stated honestly. " So?"
A hand was holding mine, I opened my eyes slowly and spotted the maid from yesterday. It seems that she slept from fatigue due to looking after me.Looking after me? She was taking care of me. It is my first time being taken care of. This thought kept repeating itself in my mind again and again. I didn't want to wake her up by pulling my hand so I just admired her facial features as I waited for her to wake up. After a while, she woke up and yelled when she spotted my eyes wide open." Why did you shout?" I asked placing my hands on my ears from the sound." I am sorry... I was shocked, I am really sorry," she begged." Hey. Hey... No worries, I am not mad, I wanted to thank you for what you did."" No need, I am just a mere maid, it’s my job." She replied.I caressed her face and kissed her forehead. She flinched from my reaction but I could see a smile being drawn on her smooth lips." You are not a mere maid, you are the deci
What I forgot to tell you about myself guys is that I used to train in an underground fighting club, my coach was so strict and he taught me several techniques not to only defend myself but to also become an aggressive individual who permits no one to mess with him. I may look cute but I lost my feminine side a long time ago, I had to learn how to fight if I did not want to be killed, robbed, raped, or even have my organ extracted in my notorious neighborhood. My coach recognized that my petite body would not be convenient to me so he taught me another deadly technique that does not necessitate body strength. I always walked with a sliver dagger that I won in one of the fighting contests but I lost it three days before I was kidnapped by Mr. Gerald. I have a hunch that my dad found it and sold it somewhere. The guys standing around me were huge, I can't defeat them by mere force, I have no dagger and they outnumber me. I decided that the best opti
His breath was intoxicating, he kept licking my ear and stopped speaking, I think he is now focused on something else much more important due to his animalistic instinct." Shawn?" I moaned as he bit my ear just at the same time." If you call my name like that, would you think I will listen to whatever you will say next?" He asked in a husky voice that managed to turn me on at this point in time.I am no angel and his touch was doing thin
Lily's POV:I was still flustered even after a 20 minutes car ride, I was about to lose it back there, thanks god nothing happened. I would not have forgiven myself, I may not be able to understand how the rich people think but I do not care even if I did; he has a girlfriend and I should respect that.In addition, I don't want a stupid choice out of temporary feelings and an instinct drive to ruin my future. I never wanted an arrogant husband who
My friends were drunk and passed out on the counter; I was in the toilet making an important phone call. I called Tony, someone whom I can't really describe our relationship as friends since it was a little bit different. Tony was the one who passed me the dagger; he also helped me to deal with some problems in the underground ring club. He does not do anything for free though, it's not weird since it is his job. " Lily, It's been a long time; I heard you were sold out by your father, is it true?" " It's a long story, I would like you to tell me whether the whole thing was plotted or if it happened just due to mere luck, the one he was indebted to is Gerald Finland, you must know who he is," I stated. " Of course I do, I don't mess with big shark though. I will be fucked up if caught and with someone like him, I would," he replied. " I will guarantee that you won't get killed, he is an acquaintance of mine so if you told him my nam
" Just where are you going?" I asked confused." You wanted to know more about me so I will realize that wish for you." He replied while speeding up with the car.We reached our destination, it was a vast forest and we kept walking in it until we found a big rock that overlooks a beautiful lake. The scenery was gorgeous that I forgot all about going back to the mansion and how it's dangerous to remain alone with someone like Shawn." How do you like it?" he asked fixing his position on that rock." It is fabulous."" Glad you like it."I turned my head directing my gaze at him in surprise." How could you be so mean at college but turn this kind now?" I wondered."I can't treat you freely as I wish at college to not raise suspicions so I just tease you."" Whoa, didn't expect such a reason."" Why did you take me here?" I added." Since it is my birthday, I wanted to spend it outside
