The Mermaid's Last Wish

Chapter 31 - Wish Me Luck

Rossana and Riza were busy about buying ingredients for their picnic on holiday tomorrow, Saturday. They made some banana chips, strawberry cake, cupcakes, vegetable salads and prepared the can of beers. 

"This is so much fun!" Riza was excited to see the falls from the Western place. She almost jumping with happiness as soon she would be there for the first time without her family. 

The mansion was too big for Rossana's family. She was living with luxurious things but hid it in front of her classmates and to the public. She didn't like being judged like she was before. Her life was not that well before she came to her recent school. 

She was bullied by her classmates because of their wealth but she never took revenge for them. It was too painful for her to be called "spoiled brat". Her teachers felt that she was unliked because of their wealth. They were thinking about her family bribing them if she was failed. 

But she never did fail. She managed to study well but few of her teachers were giving her a small count of grades. She didn't complain to the school administration because she knew that her family could be in danger for the baits they used to do. She kept silent for many years. All that she could do now was to stay simple and hide everything about her. 

The school which she chose was different from her former alma mater. She was treated well by the school administration even they knew about her family status. 

"Let's have some pictures tomorrow!" Riza found a camera for tomorrow's memories. She was excited to capture the moments which they could enjoy and cherish. 

"Yes, Riza. We'll invite Lily for this." They called Lily over the cellphone and found out that she would be arriving at two o'clock in the afternoon. 

The white mansion was huge and there were mads who welcomed her. 

"Good afternoon, Madam." She guided her to Rossana's room. 

She greeted also. "Thank you for letting me in." 

"Lily, how are you?" Rossana looked wprried about seeing her lonely. 

"I'm fine. Thank you. How about both of you?" 

"We're fine.", Riza and Rossana answered. They went outside to walk to the garden. 

"This is so beautiful!" Riza was amazed at how flowers were perfectly arranged in beautiful combination of colors.
