The Lust Of Pride

Chapter 9

As the next day greets the world with a new sunrise, awakening the animals and the people, and the plants with its lasting grace.  As the sun lights up the day, Sam wakes up as the sunlight touches her skin, feeling its embrace, telling her it is now time to get up.

As the clock rings at the strike of 8, Sam wakes up and sat upright from her bed, yawning as she was given a good night of sleep and dreams.

She then got up from her massive pink bed, slipped her feet in her slippers and walked towards the bathroom, and entered its shower, As the warm water cleans her silky skin, her blonde hair, and her pretty face, she finished and dried up, she then tied her hair with a thin band, and walked towards her dresser, sat on a chair and laid down her makeup.

She polished her face, embedded her lips with pink lipstick, and finally placed a mascara painted in black on her eyelashes, giving her glowing shadow around her eyes, making its blue glow like light on the ocean waves, and as she finished, she untied the band that held her hair, making it fall on her shoulders like the sunlight that touched her skin.

She then went to a room, filled with tons of clothing for her to wear, and after a time of crucial decisions, she then picked and wore a red blouse along with a skirt and pink sandals that fit her feet. She then walked out from her bedroom door, and strolled through the halls of her home, going downstairs to the dining room.

As she entered the room and sat at the dining table, she was greeted by a man wearing a white shirt with a black suit and bowtie,

“Good Morning Miss Myers”.

The man then brought up a plate of pancakes showered with syrup and strawberries with a side of caviar,

“Thank you, Gabriel”. 

Sam started to eat her breakfast gently, like a fancy gourmet, she ate her breakfast carefully but quickly, eating expensive food, but to her, it was all the same but with a different taste, a feast from the heavens to the eyes of other people, but to her, it was like the food she always eats, and so she ate quickly, eating without savoring.

After she was done, she grabbed a napkin and wiped her mouth, giving it to the butler after her use for him to throw out, she then got up and went to the living room, where she saw her butler again, holding her bag for her to take to school.

She grabbed the bag and thanked the butler, and as she went outside and walked down the stairway, a limo entered the house gates and parked in the driveway, stopping as a woman got out of the limo, black suit, and pants, with a red bowtie and white gloves, and hair as dark as the night, greeting Sam, and opened the limo door for her to enter.

Sam walked up to her and greeted her back, “Good morning, Cleo”.

As she entered the limo with Cleo, Sam asked her why she was there, Cleo sat upright, facing towards her to answer,

“Because of yesterday’s events, you were greeted by some unnecessary complications, students bullying you, and lying about you to the teachers, and in order for that to never repeat, your father has ordered me to look after you during school”.

Sam looked away to the window in disgust, disapproving of her father actions, she then began arguing with Cleo, saying that her father has overreacted and that she wants him to rethink his decision,

But Cleo insisted saying that she supports the idea, wanting Sam to live a great school life, without any troubles.

Sam was still in anger, trying to think of something that would ease Cleo’s worry, and she thought about Daisy, and said back to Cleo,

“I already have Daisy by my side, most of the students already fears her, and some of them even follows her, although I appreciate your concern and loyalty, Cleo, I’m going to let her be my bodyguard in school, so you don’t need to go cause a scene, besides, you would stand out most from the students”.

Cleo let out a sigh, confused and worried about Sam, but ultimately agreed with her plan, but she would still need to speak about this to Sam’s father.

Sam happily agreed and waited patiently as the limo heads to her school. As they arrived at the gates, Sam got out of the limo, Cleo telling her to be careful and that she is there if Sam is in need of her.

Sam entered the gates of the school and walked towards the entrance stairs, and as she arrived at the start, she saw a student sitting on the rails. Ash grey hair like silver on ice, Hazel eyes as brown as autumn time, wearing a denim jacket and jeans, and a pair of round eyeglasses, sitting on the rails of the stairs with her phone up.

The girl looked away from her phone as she saw Sam, and went towards her,

“And here I thought you would be packing up for another school somewhere hehe”, The girl giggled as she spoke.

Sam smiled and gently slapped her shoulder,

“Shut up Winters”.

As both girls laughed and giggled, Katy asked if she was okay yesterday, Sam replied, saying that she only went to the detention room with the two students.

“Why were you there?”, Katy asked.

“Just a misunderstanding, don’t worry, besides it was resolved” Sam replied as she held a grinned on her face.

Katy raised an eyebrow once again but decides to ignore it. The two girls entered the school with their bags, having a laugh as they head as towards their lockers.

Katy went to her locker that was across from where Sam’s was, while Sam stared again at her locker, thinking to herself,

“I forgot to bring some decorations, Damn it all!!! I just have to live with this for now”.

As Sam and Katy opened their lockers and placed their stuff, The entrance burst open as a few students entered the hall, with Daisy on the front. Katy glanced at her and quickly went to Sam, telling her to hide before Daisy comes by. Sam reassured her with a soft voice and an unfazed face,

“Don’t worry Kate, Daisy isn’t going to do anything to me, I assure you”.

“Are your absolutely sure???”.

Sam told her that everything will be fine. As both girls waited for Daisy and her entourage to pass by, Katy stood there cautiously, while Sam stood staring unfazed and uncaring, as Daisy strolled through the halls, instilling fear throughout the hearts of the students as she showers them with her presence, but as she passed Katy and Sam.

Sam smirked at her, smiling wide as Daisy passed by, she quickly looked away and started to go faster, heading towards the gym, leaving her entourage fazed and confused, but still followed her.

Katy breathed out a sigh of relief as Daisy entered the gym, she asked Sam why Daisy ignored her, and she tilted her head towards Katy, giving her the same cheery face, and said to her,

“Oh, we “resolve” it yesterday, so she won’t bother us anymore”.

Katy looked at Sam, suspicious about her words, but she was distracted by her happy face and dropped it.

As they finished placing their stuff, Katy tells Sam about the clubs in school and asked her if she wants to join some of them, Sam gladly said yes.

Both girls strolled along the halls, heading towards the west wing, Sam kept looking around as they walked, looking for someone, Katy noticed and asked her what is she looking for, Sam said with a cheery but direct tone,

“I’m looking… for a boy”.
