Chapter 1

                                                            

"Amelia! Breakfast is ready."  Mrs Thompson said from the kitchen.

"Coming Mom," replied Amelia from her room upstairs where she had been arranging her things for her new school.

Seventeen year old Amelia Thompson was a stunningly beautiful teenager with long jet black hair, she was tall and athletic with light freckles on her face. This was going to be her first day at Maverick High school and she hated first days at school, with all the students staring at you like you were some kind of alien. 

Her Dad had been transferred from his place of work and they had to move so they could be closer to the new workplace. His transfer also came with a promotion which meant an increase in salary. 

Even before all of this, Amelia barely saw her Dad. He left for work every morning before she woke up and got back home late at night after she must have gone to bed. Now with the promotion at his place of work, all of this was about to be made worse. 

She always complained to her mother about this but her mother just told her that her father was working so hard just to make sure she had a good life and didn't lack anything but she already had everything, her parents were rich enough and she would gladly exchange all their riches for the presence of her father. 

She missed her old school even though she didn't have a lot of friends there just a few selected ones, everyone thought she was proud just because she was beautiful and rich but still she loved the simplicity of the students as it was a public school but now, her father wanted her to mingle with her fellow rich kids and also a school closer to their new environment. 

Maverick High school was the first choice as it was known all over the state as the school attended by the children of the rich and elite. Amelia disliked "Rich kids" even though she was one herself, but still, she didn't like their proud nature and the way they all behaved like the world was beneath them.

"Well, I'll show you all." she muttered to herself while arranging her books in her school bag. 

After she was done, she picked the bag up and headed downstairs for breakfast.

"So, Amelia, I hope you're prepared for your new school". Said her Mom at the dining table.

"Yes Mom," she replied. She didn't want to have this conversation.

"Very well then, finish up your food and let me drop you off at school before I head over to work" Said her Mom.

"Yes Mom" she said again. 

When her Mom first told her that she was going to be changing schools, she wasn't happy, she hated being the new girl at school, the one that everyone stared and pointed at but now, she was determined never to let some spoiled brats at Maverick High bring her down. She finished with breakfast, picked up her backpack and went out to the car, her Mom got into the driver's seat and they were off.

Maverick High school, popularly known as Maverick High was a school attended by the children of rich and influential people in the society. It was a school with one of the best teachers in the whole of the USA. The children of a former president were also known to have attended the school which made it all the more popular. 

The school had many awards to its name, both locally and internationally. Amelia's Mom got into the driveway and parked the car, Amelia got out and mistakenly dropped her backpack. She cursed, bent down and started packing up her things.

"Well, what a very good omen for a first day at school". She said to herself. By the time she was done picking up her things, her Mom had gotten out of the car and she came around to Amelia's side. 

"Ok girl, your first day at school.'' Her mother said to her, smiling.

"Yeah," Amelia replied half-heartedly.

Her Mom looked at her with a slight frown, "What's wrong Amy" her Mom asked her with a concerned look on her face.

"Nothing Mom, I'm fine," she said.

"Well, you don't look fine, cheer up dear. It's your first day here so it's ok to be nervous a bit, chin up dearie, this would be a breeze". Her Mom said with a slight laugh.

Amelia didn't see what was funny but because she loved her parents and didn't want to let them down, she forced a smile.

"Enjoy your first day at school honey." Her Mom said as she pecked her on the cheek and got into her car. 

Amelia stood there and watched her Mother drive off till the car was out of sight. Then grudgingly, she turned and walked towards the school's building.
