CHAPTER 4

My mom complimented me of how beautiful I looked in my new uniform. I thanked her and asked where my dad was.

She told me that he needs to go to the office very early this morning. He didn't eat his breakfast.

I asked her "who would drive me to school?"

My mom mentioned that she'll take me to school.

" You mom?, I've never seen you drive before" I shockingly told her.

My mother told me that she can drive so I should wait for her in the car. She's changing for them to go.

I went to wait patiently in the car for her mom.

She came and we drove off to the school.

On our way to the school, there were several big cars on the street going the same way.

My mom and I got out of the car as soon as we got to the school. She took me to the principal's office. We got there and the principal gave us a warm welcome. We sat down and discussed important issues. 

The principal told my mom not to worry, her husband has paid everything needed and he assures her that I will be in good hands. 

" Mom, I'm not a child for you to put me under the care of some teacher, I can take care of myself in this school" I furiously conveyed it to her mom.

The principal saw that I was very rude. He told my mom that I'll be taken to the senior year. I was currently in my senior year.

She left me when a student was instructed to take me to my class. 

I entered the class with the student and the class greeted us. The student responded and he told them that I'm their new classmate.

The students kept staring at me when I went to find somewhere to sit. I was feeling uncomfortable with the way they were staring at me. I sat at the corner of the class where no one was occupied.

A teacher came to the class a few minutes after I came in, I was called by the teacher to introduce myself. I mentioning my name, Seraphina Sterling. The students had their jaws dropped as soon as they heard my surname.

"You're Sterling?, the daughter of the CEO of the best company in the city?" the teacher asked me 

I responded affirmatively.

Everyone in the class started smiling because they had a popular figure in their midst. 

They welcomed me and at that moment I felt comfortable and was ready to make friends who will obey me no matter what.

The teacher left after the lesson was over, everyone wanted to have a conversation with me but I told them that I'm not ready for any conversation right now.

During intermission, I went to purchase a snack at the cafeteria and headed back to the class. I saw a girl approaching me with smiles. The girl told me that she wants to be friends with me. She likes me so much and admires me 

I asked her who her parents were, she said that her dad was an accountant and her mom was a doctor. 

I thought that she might be rich looking at her parents' career .

I accepted her to be my friend but conditions are attached. I asked for the girl's name , she said that she's called Ava. My friends and I had the same initial letter in our names but this one is different.

I told Ava that she must obey all my instructions and not mingle with anybody else too. Ava agreed to the conditions.

Intermission was over and we went to class. Ava sat by me in class, I never knew that we were in the same class, our friendship was going to be an interesting one.

Everyone was wondering how we became friends on my first day in school.

In the Radiant Treasures company, my dad ,Mr Sterling, was in his office looking very busy. He decided to investigate the incident that happened during the weekend. He took his laptop, checked through the CCTV to see whether there's any unfamiliar faces in the video. He watched carefully but didn't see anyone like that. He then thought that it might be from the manufacturers themselves. He forgot about it and continued his work.

Miss Evelyn, my dad's secretary, was checking out her documents on her laptop when she had a notification. She opened it and saw that an anonymous person had told her to get ready for the downfall of their company.

" What!Who's threatening us like that?" she asked rhetorically.

She thought she should send the message to her boss and tell him to take action as soon as possible but she had another second thought of not telling the CEO. 

School closed, I hated those days in her old school when I'd be standing in the scorching sun waiting for the driver to come and pick me. I really need to compel my dad to buy the car for me.

I stood in front of the school and still no signal from the car. I got fed up and tried calling my mom. She told me that she's busy doing something in town so the driver will come and pick me up.

While standing there, Ava's car came to stop in front of me offering me a seat but I told her that my driver was coming.

The driver came to pick me up at the school gate. We got home and luckily for me, no one was at home to bother me with, how was school, this and that. I went to change, came down and decided to establish my own cinema in the house. Relaxing with my popcorn and watching Netflix movies.

I continued with the enjoyment until my Mom came home. I hugged her and my mother asked me to give her the gist on what happened in the school.

I saw that coming as soon as she came.
