Chapter 12: The School Queen

On the first day of the school, I wore a kimono shirt with high waist jeans. I went there in my own car and drove myself.

Who knew my day would start with an argument with the school queen or should I say the old school queen. It turns I was just in time for yearly voting of the school king and queen.

As I entered the building lawn and all the eyes were on me. Then a girl in black jeans and and pink frock- type top came and stood infront of me blocking my way.

She stood there with inspecting eyes and two girls beside her like she was a God to them.

She was so confident that she'll be the school queen again and be the first to do so in three in a row. She made me mad and I at the moment asked Ria to bring the paperwork. I was taking part too.

I could see that she felt a little nervous which made my day. After signing up for the competition, I saw that no one else had taken part but her and now me.

I got info that she was like the big boss around here and was the richest but anymore.

"Tell me you atleast have a jet?" said Venessa the old school queen after finishing her inspection.

"Oh! I do!.. and by the do you have a private island in your own name!" I said questioning her back.

Venessa unable to speak "...."

"Thought so.. only a self-made billionaire like me could own an island" I said mocking her.

This little argument did numbers on everyone. In a sudden no one was afraid of that pesky Venessa anymore. Many girls signed up at the spot for the competition.

"And by the way, do you mind changing your top it's so out of fashion!" I said walking away.

As I reached the campus another girl came up to me. But she asked to help me to my room. I agreed and gave her my room card. She checked the number and gave it back.

She introduced herself as Mafia.

"Oh..my.. you're staying in one of the VIP premium room..not even Venessa is able to make her parents agree to make her stay here." she said as she started walking.

"Why is that such a big deal?" I said unable to understand her.

She explained how there are only two VIP premium rooms in the school, the best of the best, one boy's and one girl's. Also that the boy's one was taken today only.

As we reached the room I saw Venessa watching and bumped into someone. It was Zander. Riaz Venessa and Mafia were bowing but we're shocked to see Zander and me shake hands. He told me he had also taken the VIP premium room.

He didn't even pay attention to Venessa but returned Ria and Mafia's bow. After taking, he went to his room to unpack and so did I. Mafia asked to come in too and I agreed. As I entered an AI voice introduced herself. She was called AVA.

AVA welcomed me and I greeted her. But. when Ria and Mafia entered AVA said intruder reclaim recognition. I calmed her saying that Ria was my bodyguard and Mafia a friend. AVA scanned them and allowed them to enter.

Mafia asked me how I knew 'Prince Zander'.

"Well, we met at a Royal Gala at the palace, where my family got a Royal invite from the Queen for lunch and became friends. We also met while the interview which which we gave together. We decided to start a band and a dance group too..." I replied

"So your friends... amazing" Mafia said.

The room was super high it had changeable colouration and 3d design option of the walls. I set it to blue and butterflies. It had a master remote that controlled the door, windows, shades, waterfall showers in the bathroom, room temperature, the music player and a television.

AVA could also change the room based on different modes like Halloween, Valentine's day, Children's day, wake up and sleep time. It was so cool.

There was also two sound walls. One allowed no outdoor sound to enter the room and the other allowed no indoor sound to go out. There were CCTV cameras as well.

I downloaded my playlist on AVA and asked her to "play This Is My Dance Floor". I started unpacking. After I was finished, I relaxed for sometime. In the afternoon there was an announcement requesting all students to come to the school hall in uniforms.

I got ready in an everyday dress and wore the school uniform which was just a coat. I went out with Ria and saw Zander going too. He saw me and asked if I'd like to join him. I instantly agreed.

I thought Venessa would be boiling hot right now...

As I entered the hall hand in hand with Zander, everyone made way for us and were staring at us. For them he was a prince with a castle but for me he was a friend.

We met Mafia there. She saved seats for us in the front row. Principal Sao stood on the stage and welcome all the new comers.

He also announced the upcoming talent show and finalized that it will be held two weeks from now. He informed that the sports day is delayed.

Then he took some papers and informed that the winners of the school king and queen competition.

"The new school king is...Zander Royal" said Principal Sao.

Everyone stood up applauding except for a boy. Many were saying boo to him and called him Venessa's puppet- Varun.

Mafia told that he was previously richest boy in the school and also a school king twice just like Venessa and was very bossy.

Then Principal Sao calmed everyone. And was about to announce the new school queen but every stared shouting my name "Sapphire.. Sapphire..".

Principal Sao said "Yes,..it is Sapphire Zile" and suddenly every screamed and shouted. Principal Sao excused himself. I and Zander were surrounded by other students.

After about an hour we were free and as I entered the campus of the top floor I met Zander. I congratulated him and said the same to me. I was about to leave but he called me back. He gave me a gift and I hugged him.

"..Um.. I'm sorry" I said

"Nah, it's ok" he said hugging me back.

WHAT A SURPRISE...
