The room was getting colder, and Zain felt the need to adjust the temperature of the Air Conditioner. The young guy advanced to his bed, grabbed the AC remote and increased the temperature to twenty six. His room was spacious and large enough to accommodate five times the size of his bed. All furniture were made of expensive wood. The wall was covered in wallpaper of different types of surfboards, ocean and the wave, a huge flat TV screen and a splint AC were perfectly fixed to provide enough luxury and comfort to the owner.
Zain is that sort of guy who never gives room for others to find his weaknesses. There were teachers who detested the idea of making him a disciplinary head prefect, but they had to give in as no any other student was qualified enough to handle it. Zain excelled in school in almost every aspect. First position in the overall grades of the senior classes has been his spot for two years now because when other students would play soccer and go to places like clubs at their free time, Zain would either be indoor studying, or outdoor surfing in the waves with his surfboard.
The door of his room abruptly swung open as a young woman stepped into his personal space without hesitating to knock. Not even a second of privacy did Coreen allowed her step son. "Zain, we're leaving for New York with your Daddy. I told Samantha to move in and manage the house until we get back. Take care of yourself baby." Coreen said, before she head back out hurriedly and slammed the door shut without wasting a minute to listen to what Zain has to say in reply. She already had a prior thought that her husband's rude son wouldn't have any nice words to say to her anyway.
Zain strolled to his study table and chair where he plopped down, already feeling irritated and angry with his Father's foxy wife Coreen. A woman who was just twenty seven years old; ten years older than him but she keeps calling him with all sort of foolish titles. Who the fuck was her baby? And why did she had to intrude in his personal space only to bother him with such a useless info? They —Coreen and his Dad, should both get lost and leave the house to rot if they wish to. This wouldn't be their first time traveling and leaving the house for months.
Zain found himself angrily muttering curses at the way Coreen addressed him like a kid. As he flipped to the next page of his mathematics workbook, a weird memory flashed into his head and he slowly laid back in his chair, roughening his black, shiny hair. What has gotten into him now? Is he seriously thinking about what he has done to that new ugly chick in school?

"Mom. I can't locate the house. I'm stuck somewhere around this Betty Palace please come and get me" Sasha complained into the phone, standing near a tall signboard which has an elegant calligraphy written 'Betty Palace.' on it.
"Dear, am on my way now. Just stay on the phone okay? I'm coming straight to Betty Palace now."
"Okay Mom please hurry." Sasha said with urgency, peeking at the surrounding. It was dark but the rich neighborhood was shining with the right amount of lights. Sasha thought its eerily silent and not bustling with activities like her neighborhood. Its scary. If only her Mom would agree to allow her sleep at home, none of this would have happened. She would've finished all her assignments by this time.
Sasha spotted a casually dressed woman coming straight ahead of her direction so she quickly hastened and approached the woman first before she could trek any longer. She hugged her mom lovingly. "Mom. . . Why do you have to agree with sleeping in this place? Why won't you say no to their demands?"
Sasha's Mother looked too tired, though she managed to explain the situation to her child. "You have a lot to learn dear. If I make a mistake and get fired on this job we won't be able to live a decent life. Even though my current boss treats me better, I fear that the young Madam will stop sponsoring your education if I go against her wishes."
"You worry too much about me that's why you're aging. Lets just go. I hate this neighborhood. It's creepy silent"
The two trekked down to the large and exotic looking Mansion and Sasha admired the beauty of the environment surrounded with well tamed flowers. There were more insanely bigger and beautiful houses along the pathway all covered with grass lawn. She could see another white Mansion almost as big as her new school.
What a paradise to live in.
Yet, most of those rich people are so ungrateful and mean. Sasha stuck with her mom as she recalled the embarrassment she faced in school once again. She can't even complain about it after what her mom has gone through to get her transferred there even though there was nothing wrong with her old school. In fact, it was much fun and comfortable to tag along with people of the same level rather than the rich kids who do not have any manners.
"Mom... For how long do I have to stay here?" She whispered into her Mother's ears as they entered through the gate.
"Until they return from their trip"
"But do they know that you're bringing another person? Am I staying here illegally?"
"I informed the young Madam that you will be coming at night to sleep with me and she agreed"
"Is there anyone in the house?"
"Yes. The youngest son is on the left wing of the mansion while the first daughter only comes around once in a while with her husband"
"Okay then. Mom I'm hungry, do I get to eat food before I sleep?"
"Of course dear. Food is not a problem in this household"
Sasha giggled merrily. Food was one of the basic things she never joked with. At least her sixteen year old brain need the energy in other to study hard and fulfill her Mother's dreams. Her Mother's happiness and comfort has always been her biggest dream.
Zain's alarm began to blare into his ears, sending him on alert at once in his sitting position. His eyes felt heavy and his head was badly aching, as the realization settled into his head. Obviously, the reason for his terrible body ache was because he'd slept on his study chair again. Fuck! Looks like it's gonna be a sour day at school.Zain quickly got up and rushed to his bathroom to prepare for school. As a prefect, he needed to always get to school before 7:30am in other to catch and punish those latecomers sneaking their ways through the back fences.Within the next fifteen minutes, Zain brushed his teeth, showered and dressed up in his blue trouser and white shirt uniform. He grabbed his backpack and bike keys before he hurried downstairs and advanced into the dining area."Goo
"Stay behind and serve your detention if you hear your name." Standing in front of the classroom, Glen Cameron started calling out names of students as follows; "Rebecca Daniel. Tessa Daniel. Sasha McAngel. Lee Young Tae. Moses Monroe. Anna Sullivan. Robert Mikel. Sam Anderson. . ." He continued calling.In the hallway, Zain Centineo and his henchmen appeared to be storming to the junior classes. Almost all the few students who stood by their lockers quickly turned their faces away knowing well that staring too much might be considered as disrespect. Even a cough or a loud breathing sound could be misinterpreted as a deliberate act of disrespecting the senior prefects.That little bitch who made fun of his orders and ran away in the morning will understand him better today. Zain thought as he arrogantly strode his legs and entered into
Sasha slouched against the locker as she slowly began to unload some textbooks from her backpack, which was too heavy to carry around. Her mind was occupied with the thoughts of her future in Ravenwood; Is this how she will be forced to walk on eggshells until the end of term when the current prefects graduate?Today was a narrow escape, but what if she comes late again next time? She is sure that Senior Zain, the discipline head prefect will not let it slide easily. She remembered how pissed off his face looked earlier when the head girl conveyed the head boy's order. Her prayers were answered, the head boy kept his promise. But Jeez, miracles like that do not happen often."Hey" Someone tapped her on the shoulder and her face almost collided with the locker if it weren't for the half inch of space brought to her by sheer luck.
It was morning, and the beautiful morning twilight was beginning to break in as Samantha was scrubbing hard on the kitchen floorboards. She suddenly heard a strange sound of shatter like someone has broken one of the ceramics in the sitting room. Hastening to the sitting room to check what was happening, her sight fell on the motionless woman sprawling across the floor. "Lora? Lora!" Samantha called out, rushing in a fit of panic. Sasha was about to enter through the bathroom door when she heard her Mother's panicking voice falling hard into her ears. A freezing chill ran through her body and her heart rate rapidly shot up. Wearing only a pink nightgown with a mass of messy hair scattered across her back, Sasha rushed to the sitting room only to find her Mother clutching the body of a young woman whom she hasn't seen before. "Oh my God! Mom! What's wrong with her?" Samantha took a sharp intake of breath before she exclaimed. "I don't know, qui
Thursdays are sports day at Ravenwood high school. The students normally spend the last two periods engaging in sports and extracurricular fun activities like soccer, basketball, tennis, race, drama, music and others. It was around quarter to 1pm and the sun was hot outdoors when Zain strolled with his sidekicks and headed for the Cafeteria to grab some cool drinks. He was in the basketball team that got bashed to disgrace. It was the first time his team have lost a match and Zain was in a horrible mood all because of that. "Take it off!" "No please.... No..." "Girls. Go on and strip her!" Zain stopped immediately when he heard the word 'strip her'. The yelling and crying voice was coming from the direction of the ladies restroom. The hallway was supposed to be silent and empty at this time when all the students were expected to be at their various clubs. What is happening in there? "Guys, go on. Will catch up shortly" Zain addressed t
Flashback When Sasha left the club room and was walking down the hallway to ease herself in the restroom, she suddenly saw senior Rita and a group of female students walking up to her direction. It was a terrible timing, knowing well that Rita disliked her for reasons she doesn't know of. She kept her head down, trying to hide her face from the mean looking clique. She almost passed by them until Rita bumped her shoulder with hers. Sasha was sure it was deliberate, but she dared herself to not show a negative reaction because they were her seniors. However, that wasn't enough. "Hey! Bitch! Who do you think you are to bump into a prefect?" Rita started, pulling Sasha by the shirt already. "Here in Ravenwood high, you don't just bump into a senior and get away with that!" "I'm sorry." Sasha apologized. There's nothing to apologize for, but this way, she can end the argument before it escalates into a bigger trouble. "Don't let her get away with
Sasha wanted to scream out but the big man's palm descended on her mouth, muffling her screams. She could neither move an inch nor call out for someone's help... for anybody’s help. Her heart pounded as if it was going to explode in her chest. Even if she does not have the power to fight this man, there was no way she's going to give in so easily. This sucking bastard hyena will have to kill her first before he fulfill his sinful mission! Sasha rummaged through her mind for escape plans, and thankfully, an idea suddenly popped into her head. She slowly shut her eyes and allowed her stiff body to drop down motionless as though she has fainted. She felt the man's grip loosening a little bit from her wrist at first, and then he completely freed both her hands and mouth and went back to removing his trouser. Sasha use the opportunity to start screaming out on top of her lungs, grabbing her textbook as she smashed it onto Steven’s face. She started kicking out her legs un
(Sound of Music alarm tuned in) ~Savage love~ did somebody~did somebody~break your heart~ lookin' like an angel~but your savage love~ when you kiss me I know you don't give two fucks~ but I still want that~ your savage love~~~ your savage lo-lo-love~~~ your savage... (alarm turned off). "Hey! Wake up, it's time for school." Sasha heard a disturbing voice yelling in her ears to which she slowly mumbled a "Nnoh" and continued stretching her legs. She was sprawling over the cozy mattress, feeling the temptation to sleep a little bit more after the alarm has gone off. She sucked back her drool and began to doze into another sweet slumber. "Get the fuck up Sasha!" The voice got angrier and louder. Hold on... Is that real? Whoa! Sasha sprang up from bed immediately, her eyelashes stuck with the sleep as she squint into the heavy bulb lights and zoomed at the guy sitting down on the study chair. "Where.... Where is this place?" She blurted out in con
