Finally living up to her name.

The next morning Lara was woken up by Sara early in the morning, but the latter had to come back after every fifteen minutes to check up on her from six to eight because Lara just didn't want to wake up.

"Fine, fine! I'm getting up. See?" Lara snapped as she finally pushed the covers away and swung her legs off the bed.

Sara stood by the side patiently, planning to wait until Lara went into the bathroom to make sure she didn't go back to bed. And even then, she had to linger in the room a little longer because she didn't trust Lara.

Usually, Lara would wake up very early to prepare for school, and the remaining time she would use to study so Sara couldn't really understand what was happening this morning. But perhaps she was tired from all the reading, right? Even she thought that it was too much some times.

But what Sara and the rest of the workers in the Kent residence didn't know was that the change of character was actually because this Lara was an entirely different person from their miss Lara.

After a quick bath, Lara came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her body and another one around her head. Her gorgeous body glistened with water, but her eyes looked tired despite sleeping for fifteen hours or so.

Lara dried herself, then sat in front of the mirror to do her hair and make up. She gasped when her eyes caught something on her reflection and she leaned closer to the mirror. There around her left areola was a pink mark that was so evident because it starkly contrasted with her white skin.

Lara moved her fingers over her nipples and caressed the bite mark, which was from when she was banging Maurice in the boutique the previous day. Luckily, she needed to cover her boobs while going to school so she didn't have to use concealer.

After applying her makeup and tying her hair into a ponytail, she walked to the walk-in closet to pick her clothes for the day. Her ass jiggled with every step she took, a sight Maurice would have wished to see but unfortunately he wasn't there.

Everything belonging to the previous Lara had been arranged on the left side of the closet while the new clothes she bought occupied the right part of it. Lara was pleased with the arrangement because that meant she wouldn't use too much time searching for what to wear. She picked blue, low-rise jeans, a pink sports bra and a pink checkered shirt. A pair of white sneakers completed the look, and Lara felt like herself again.

Her makeup was more nude than bold, and paired with her outfit, it gave her a charmingly youthful and beautiful look. Simple but gorgeous.

When she walked down the stairs with her bag slung over her shoulder and air pods plugged into her ears, every head turned her way, surprised by the new aura around her. Whether it was the maids or the bodyguards, no one could take her eyes off her. Lara didn't notice anything odd and took it as a normal behaviour as she picked an apple when she passed by the dining table.

"Miss," Sara called out as she chased after her. "You're not eating breakfast? I already packed some for you so you can eat in the car," she said as she hurried her footsteps to reach Lara, who was already walking out the door.

"I'll eat later Sara. I'm already late," Lara shouted back as she walked towards where Maurice was already waiting by the car.

Maurice instinctively looked up when he heard her voice, and his eyes widened momentarily as he tilted his head to the side, admiring Lara's new look.

He had seen her yesterday when she wore a little black dress that was way more sexier than what she was wearing now, but her look was really different. It was hard to explain it but she just felt and looked different. A good kind of different.

"Hey," Lara greeted casually as she threw her bag on the backseat and proceeded to the passenger seat.

It took a while for Maurice to snap back to his senses, which Lara failed to notice because she was busy scrolling on her phone. She was installing all the apps she needed and also checking her livestream account for any updates.

"You look… different," Maurice commented as he started the engine and drove out of the residence.

"Thanks," Lara responded with a warm smile.

"Seatbelt," Maurice reminded, and Lara put her phone down before clasping her seatbelt.

The rest of the drive to Langston university was a comfortable and quiet one. Maurice didn't try to engage Lara in casual talk, and the latter was busy appreciating nature as she looked out the window. Despite being tired and not ready to start the day, Lara had made a resolution when she woke up. She never had all these things in her past life, so she believed that the heavens gave her a second chance at life, and the resolution was to appreciate everything she got now. Whether it was the money and the title of miss Kent, the comfortable lifestyle, or the men–and all the good dicks –around her.

When they reached the university, it was almost 9 and Lara already knew she was late, but she didn't really care. She wasn't worried about missing classes because even if she didn't, she wasn't sure she could grasp whatever was being taught.

Maurice drove away after dropping her off and she stood there for a few seconds, just staring at the towering building and gathering the energy to study the insanely difficult course.

There were still some people walking around, but they all stood still as soon as they sighted Lara walking down the hallways. Heads turned and eyes widened, but Lara walked ahead without sparing anyone a glance, as if oblivious to the effect she had on people.

It wasn't an uncommon thing to see beautiful and hot girls walking around in the campus, but this was fucking Lara Kent! On a usual day–no, actually, all days, Lara would be dressed in some baggy pants and a t-shirt, or simple jeans and a polo shirt. Nothing too eye-catching. But today she looked like she walked straight out of a magazine, and it was like she was finally starting to live up to her name.

Lara continued walking ahead, not at all in a hurry to reach her class which she wasn't looking forward to, although she was excited to see a certain someone.

"Damn girl," someone burst out, walking up to Lara and putting an arm over her shoulder. Lara stared up at the pretty face right next to her, but didn't do anything to push the girl away. "I always knew there was this… hot girl inside you. Good thing you finally proved me right. Look at that body!" Kelly Johnson exclaimed as she pulled back a little bit to admire Lara.
