The morning sun was hitting hard with whispers spread like wildfire through the school corridors.

The trio exchanged curious glances.

Rumors swirled around them:

Skylar's eyes narrowed. " What's going on? "

Zelda shrugged. " No idea "

Amy's brow furrowed. " Sounds serious. Tho "

As they approached their lockers, the whispers intensified. Increasing every second!!

Students huddled, phones hidden behind hands, eyes wide with excitement and giggles from every corner.

"Apparently, Odessa was..." a voice dropped to a whisper.

Suddenly, the school's intercom crackled to life.

" Attention students, a serious incident involving Odessa has come to light " The principal's voice paused, heavy with gravity.

"Details are emerging, but we assure you the situation is being thoroughly investigated."

Gasps and murmurs erupted.

The whispers spread beyond the school gates, News vans swarmed outside, reporters clamoring for statements.

" Sh*t!!! See this " Zelda collected the phone of someone and showed the video to Skylar.

" Jeez !!! " Amy gasped in bewilderment as they watched the video, with Odessa's moans filling the air!!!!

" She's never going to forget this in a million years. " Skylar muttered and Both Zelda and Amy nodded at the same time.

" I pity her " Amy whispered and Skylar scoffed Maliciously.

" She deserves it, who knows what she got herself into. Well, I have a class to attend to " Skylar snarled before heading towards her class, leaving Zelda and Amy staring weirdly at each other.

*ODESSA'S MANSION*

Odessa sat on the cold ground in the dimly lit sitting room, eyes glued to the TV screen.

The news channel blared, broadcasting her scandal to the nation.

Her moans filled the whole room as the video kept repeating on every channel, she held the remote tightly on her grip As Tears streamed down her face, her world was crumbling around her.

Her phone buzzed nonstop with notifications flooding her screen.

Social media notifications, messages from "concerned" friends, and vicious comments.

Her face contorted in anguish as she cried bitterly.

Suddenly, the front door burst open. And an elderly man stormed in, his face twisted in rage and fury.

"Shameless girl!" he bellowed, striding towards Odessa.

He raised his hand, and Odessa cowered aside with her whole body already trembling.

The first slap sent her crashing to the floor, The elderly man unleashed a flurry of punches and kicks.

Odessa's cries echoed through the room. As she cried because of the brutal beating she's getting from her father.

Tears mingled with blood on her battered face. Just as the man's fury seemed unrelenting, a sturdy figure intervened.

Odessa's nanny, Mrs. Dallas, she rushed in.

"Stop! Sir please, stop!" Mrs. Dallas pleaded.

She grabbed the man's arms, pulling him off Odessa. The elderly man struggled, still fuming.

Mrs. Dallas held firm with tears already pouring down her eyes.

"Sir, you're killing her!" she shouted.

The man's face slowly cleared, recognition dawning. He stumbled backward, Odessa lay motionless.

Mrs. Dallas cradled Odessa's battered body.

"Please take me to the hospital," Odessa With blood rushing out of her nose and mouth.

Mrs. Dallas nodded.

As the nanny took her phone calling the ambulance, Odessa's gaze drifted to the TV. The news anchor's voice seemed distant.

"...Odessa McCullen's scandal rocks the nation..."

Odessa's eyes closed with so much pain, this wasn't the plan???

How did this happen and why!!!!!

She'll take her revenge!!!, she'll haunt that witch down and destroy her whole existence, clash her everything!!!!

AT NOON**

Skylar walked into the college library heads and eyes turned towards her.

She had just finished her test and left the class immediately, zelda and Amy seems to be stuck in the class.

She shrugged off the burning eyes, ignoring the glares coming from the girls and the glances coming from the boys.

She had used the map in the school blog and located the library, she quietly ignored winks and calls coming from boys scattered around the sat in the library.

walked deeply into the library, she gulped at the sight in front of her, it was really a book paradise and not a library.

The library looked like a mini book castle, shelves from shelves all lined up in place with books filled in all of them.

The library had a space where anyone could sit if they wanted to read, she slowly strolled deeper into the library.

Drawing little attention which she didn't enjoy one bit, why was she being stared at like she's some kind of important person.

After beating the school bitch, she always got such attention but why????????

While Walking by all the shelves in the library, she suddenly spotted a book at the top of a shelf which caught her attention.

LEXUS was boldly written on it.

She quickly got on a ladder by the side of the shelf and stretched out her hands to pick out the book but she suddenly missed her balance on the ladder and slipped.....

" Ahhhhhh....."

HOLY SH*T!!!

D*MN!!!!!!
