Chapter 1

I stood straight infront of the mirror while looking at my whole being.

I'm Paris Aleckxia Ramos, 17 years old and currently grade 12 student under ABM strand. I'm the adoptive daughter of Mr. Alex Ramos and Mrs. Patricia Ramos.

Even though I was not their real child, I never felt that I was not part of their family. They loved and cared for me like their real daughter.

I'm just 8 years old way back when I first met them, they found me wandering around the cemetery, after the burial of their deseaced daughter.

I used to be barefooted back then and my body is full of dirt but the first thing you'll notice when you see me in my state is not my unpleasant appearance but the heart-shaped beautiful shinning shimmering necklace with a word 'little gem' engraved on the back of it... but sadly also from that day I didn't wear the necklace again, I just hide it somewhere.

About my real parents, I don't have any news. I didn't even know if they're looking for me or what but I never planted anger into them. That's also part of the reason why I did not lose my necklace because it might be the ticket to know and find who my parents are and it may be the only way for them to find me, if they are looking for me at all.

"Mom, I'm going now!" I shouted when I reached our doorway for my mom to hear that I was already leaving.

"Be careful baby. Avoid trouble, okay?" Mommy reminded me.

My parents are both business oriented and because of that I decided to follow their footsteps. Mommy's family business is about fashion designing and Daddy's are Hotel and resorts company. I'll handle those businesses someday so I am really studying hard so that I can help them to make their business grow even more.

Uggh, Alright enough on telling about my life.

I am now on my way to my new school, Zamora International School is the name. I am just a transferee there.

I'm an honor student on my previous school and hoping to be the valedictorian on our batch. Yes I have the money, brain and of course the looks but it does not mean that I have a happy life on that school. It's simply because I'm a loner, no one can go near me 'cause before they can get close to me I'll immediately leave.

Having a friend is not my thing, I like being alone. I only consider one friend and that is Alas. He is the boy who saved me in the past that I am still looking for.

I was walking down the hallway to find out where my room was, 12-A room 240. As always, section one again. Well nothings new there.

I was about to enter our supposed to be classroom when suddenly a man pushed me aside so that he could enter first.

Damn!

I nearly get stumbled on where I stand, good thing I immediately balanced myself.

I just glared to the man.

Jerk!

When I successfully entered the room without being hurt again, I search for a vacant seat on the back.

I can feel the glares of the students inside this room when I choose to sit on the comfortable seat here in the back.

"Is she out of her mind?"

"Such an attention seeker."

"Seems like she's a transferee."

I turned my head to look at them. My forehead creased when I noticed that they are looking on what I am wearing.

What's their problem? Is there something wrong with my outfit today?

Well I'm wearing a white long-sleeve top that is folded up to my elbow partner with a fitted jeans matching with my favorite leather boots.

Tsk!

I secretly rolled my eyes.

When our professor arrived we stood up on our seats.

"Good morning, Miss." We greeted her

"Bring out 1/4 sheet of paper then write your name." Woah? First day of school then we're greeted with a quiz by our professor? Great!

I followed what our professor said and then we passed it to the front.

Then, luckily my name was the first to be drawn. Note the sarcasm. I quickly got up and went infront of the class.

"Alright! Miss Ramos, please introduce yourself." Pheew! I thought she's going to ask me some difficult question, luckily I'll just need to introduce myself.

"Good morning. I'm Paris Aleckxia Ramos, 17 years old." I plainly stated. After that short introduction I return back on my seat.

Miss Lim was in the middle of calling names when suddenly the door opened. Five tall men in simple shirts and jeans are now standing outside the room. Their appearance grabs attention of the whole class.

"First day of school but you five are late? I'm not tolerating that kind of behavior, Misters!" Miss Lim angrily said to them.

"We're sorry Miss, it's just traffic on the road then we spend some time in buying stuffs on the mini stop." The first man who entered stated and shrugged his shoulder. He's cute and he looks kind but tricky.

My forehead knotted, he looks familiar.

"As if I care."

I suddenly turned my gaze on the guy who spoke.

He does not seem to care around him. He has this brown messy hair that looks good with his arrogant face. It looks like he even fought before coming here. He is probably their leader, because it is obvious from the way he speaks. There's an arrogant and authority on his words.

"I'm sleepy Miss, can I come in now?" The other guy said while stretching his arms.

"As I remember there is no rule that forbids a student to be late, especially on the first day of class." The guy with a round eyeglasses muttered as a matter of fact. He looks smart. Hmmm...

"You know what, Miss? A very handsome creature 'like me can't just stand here outside." said by the last man then winked at our professor. Tsk, playboy spotted.

Miss Lim just sighed because of their remarks.

"This will be the last time that I will tolerate that kind of behavior, understood?" They just nodded and entered the room.

I blink multiple of times when I noticed that the guy who has this brown colored hair is coming to my direction.

"Move." he calmy said. I blink one more time before I looked at him with a questioning look.

"I said move!" He shouted.

I irritatedly look at him from head to foot.

Who is he to command me like that?

Damn!

"Mr. Zamora, what's the problem there?" Miss Lim asked.

"This woman!" He shouted while pointing his finger at me.

I look at him coldly.

The heck?!

Is he pointing his finger on my face?!

I controled my self not to glare on him.

"Ms. Ramos?" Miss Lim called me with a questioning look on her face.

"She's driving me out of my seat, Miss. But I was the first one here so I'll never leave here." I defended myself.

"Mr. Zamora, go find your own sit." Miss commanded him.

"Tsk!" The brown hair guy sighed heavily before sitting on the chair next to me.

Everyone continued to introduce themselves until only five of them had not. A guy with a cheeky eyes stood first with a big smile.

"I am Vhon Dave Chua, 18 years old. Running for valedictorian." He introduced himself with a matching smile of success.

I just shook my head.

"Scar Aldrin Fuentes, 17 years old. And I believe in the saying, Food is my life." He Introduced himself while eating a lollipop and smiled enormously. The girls smile widely after he spoke. His face really seemed familiar.

"Zairon Ash De Vera, 18 years old. Believes in the saying, just joke with the drunk not with Zairon who just woke up." he returned to his seat then bent down again to sleep.

"Good morning, pretty ladies! Thirdy Vellega's here, 18 years of age, standing 5'8 and believed in the saying, If you like it then get it and if you want it, own it." He said in a sexy tone then wink to all the girls inside this room 'causing them to scream like hell. Tsk! Once a playboy, always a playboy. That should be his motto in life.

What a flirt.

And last but I hope the least ...

"Hook Ryden Zamora, 18. My school, my rule." He coldly said. The motto of this brown hair is different. Hmmm.

After the boring introductions the class started.
