Chapter 1 : He loves me ?
Zoe P.O.V
I was hiding inside my comforter when it was the usual time my nanny entered my room to woke me up.
Nanny ? Are you kidding me ? Don't you feel to old for this ?
No. My dad is a billionaire, working freak, and we have lots of maid whose i only recognize some of them. I always tell him, not to blame me if our mansion got robbed, that's not my fault.
My mom, she is working on her foundation. She always here when i need her even though sometimes she hangout with other rich mother and leave me alone in home.
I do have two brothers.
Zayn, 22, He went to Loyola Marymount University and graduated with c*m Laude. My dad always hoping he could be someone like him but faith ways was different. Instead of working on my dad company, he is an actor, model and youtuber.
Zack, 23. Zack Miller Jr. He is name after my dad. He live in London. Take care of my dad company there, he is really like my dad. Stern and very serious. He graduated from Cambridge University and my dad loves him so much. He bought everything he wants.
A thing i said to my mom, over and over again is. Sorry mom, i couldn't be like my brother. I didn't think i could be accepted in prestigious university like Ivy League. I meant like, i'm the worst from 3 of us.
My dad told me how to make money, how to well spent it, how to take an investment and all about business things and politeness but never about, how to make friends, how to be popular in school, how to be a hot girl.
I was pretty tired of my own life, especially in school. Been bullied since kindergarten and kept it secret wasn't an easy thing.
The door cracked, deep down i know it was my nanny but the foot stomps didn't seem like her. I stayed still on my place, closing my eyes.
Someone harshly tugged my comforter away.
"Wake up young lady, you're late for school," My dad said, i could imagine his stern face whilst he was standing beside my bed with tux on.
I moaned and stretched my body. I slowly opened my eyes and smiled at him. "Hi dad, you look great on your pajamas."
My dad shook his head. "I don't want to hear any words complimenting me from your mouth again. Go shower, you smell like shit."
When my mom always bring positivity to my life, here was my dad who always bring me up from his mean words.
I went for shower, washed my hair. My nanny dried my hair and i started applying foundation to my face. This was what i learned from my whole summer breaks. Signed up for beauty class, learning how to walk like a model, how to wear contact lens and finally got rid of my braces.
Thin mascara and eye shadows cover my eyes perfectly. I chose white crop tee with long black pants and black jersey. I slung my backpack on my shoulders and sprint for my breakfast.
"How many classes you take ?" My dad asks.
"AP calculus, AP economics, AP Spanish and AP computer science," I replied and took a bite of my sandwich.
"That's all ?" He asks. I nod. "You must've just leave for college."
"But you don't-"
"You never discuss anything with me," He yelled from his tension and shook his head.
"-I'm sorry dad,"
I didn't want to lengthen this conversation. I knew how short-tempered my dad is. The first day of school, i made my dad mad. I stepped inside my newest Mercedes-Benz. My dad bought this as my birthday present.
I sighed as my car left the front gate of my house. Los Angeles never been so calm. I went to private school, that could drained your parents money. I usually went by bus until my dad become so over-protective and forced me to went with driver.

My driver parked on the parking lot and stop the engine. He opened the door for me and walked behind me. He is totally handsome with blonde hair and sunglasses and tuxedo. He wasn't a driver, he is chauffeur.
Other students were staring at us whilst i was looking for my best friends. I caught some boys ogling at me, smh, where have you been all this time boys ? The girls, yeah, popular groups one were talking about me, likely talking s**t as usual.
I finally found my bestfriends. Urbi and Ava. Both of my hands hit them shoulder. Both of them jolted and looked back.
"You're gorgeous !" Ava complimented. I smiles to her priceless reactions.
"You gonna be the next Cara Moore !" Urbi says and slung her hand on my neck.
Cara Moore. The girls that everyone wanna be. Rich, popular, beautiful, has a blue eyes, surrounded by boys, being treated like a princess. Her dad is my dad best friends but we were never get on.
She has many friends but only Nine were really close to her. They were, Karlie Carl, Meredith Jones, Kelly Lee, Sofia Moretz, Betty Perez, Matt Torres, David Chung, Louis Johnson and Royce Rodriguez. Each of them were popular as hell. Some of them play in Football, basketball and Cheerleader.
It was an old rumor that Cara loved Matt but Matt loves another student. No one ever know who was that and he stayed single until now. Forget to mention i thought i gonna lost to Cara because she has everything but no one won now.
I have crush on Matt, i forgot since when but it was a long time ago until now. No girls could take her eyes off of his handsomeness. All girls love every inch of him, including me.
We entered the school building. Cara approached me, her eyes looked at me, up and down. I liked how she examined someone by her way. She dropper her mouth as she realized, it is me.
"Zoe, you changes much, i love your style now," She complimented with enthusiasm. I knew, she wanted to be complimented to.
Therefore, students were surrounded us waiting for my replied due to her statement.
"Thanks," I replied with smiled on my face and walked to my class.
I could see blood boiling on her head as i left. She used to be complimented by all student here. I knew, that was the first time humiliation hit her on the face. She went to her cliques, with red face, less to know, she almost cry.
Ava sat beside me on AP Calculus while Urbi went to AP Statistic. Matt sitting behind me, all the time, all classes we have i didn't know why. Here was Cara, Kelly, Betty and David too.
~*~
After two hours sitting on the same class, my mind has messed up from calculus. The bell finally ringing, urging my energy back. The class dismissed, students burst out from the class.
"I think it's a huge mistake to take spanish class," I say and stretch my body.
"Why ?" Matt asked. I jolted and look back. I thought no one was here except me and Ava. "Why beautiful ?"
"Nothing," I replied. I grabbed Ava hand and sprinted to Spanish class.
"It's a great opportunity," Ava mumbled in the middle of busy hallway. Our Spanish class was one floor above.
"What kind of opportunity ?" I ask.
"Tell him, you love him," Ava chuckles.
"What if he doesn't love me?" I mumbled and looking for the gap to slide in.
"We never know if you never try," Ava said. She almost squeaked when i dragged her with some of my force so we could arrive at Spanish class on time.
My lovely Urbi has saved place for three of us. Usually it's stranger who sits on the fourth table.
"Students are talking about you Zoe," Urbi whispered to my ears which delivering goosebumps for my whole body. I sighed and nod. I have expected that. "About your appearance and they grade you on Cara levels."
"I don't care about the levels," I say.
The class started, the teachers was counting the student. "One more students," Mr. Rodriguez said and look around the class.
Matt bursted in the classes, without sorry face or a word. He sat beside me, calmly with smirks on his face.
"Why are you late Mr. Torres," Mr. Rodriguez. He scowled and crossed his hands.
"My favorite cat come and meet me, i can't help but feed it," He said, greeted by laugh on the entire class.
"You don't have cat Matt," Kelly chuckled. Mr. Rodriguez become angrier.
"I do, in my imagination," Matt replied.
Mr. Rodriguez couldn't do anything except sighed. "Okay, class begin now."
Matt wrote something on a piece of paper and shove it to me.
His head look like a d***
I smiled with Urbi. Urbi showed her thumb to Matt.
"Guys on the back, shut up !" Mr. Rodriguez yelled at us.
"I'm telling my cat accident to them sir," Matt said. The teacher shook his head for the second times.
He shoved me another piece of paper.
I love your style now but i also love your old style.
He blinked his eyes at me with flirty smiles on his face.
I replied by smiles to him. I realized that Cara began to heat up.
When the bell rang, Mr. Rodriguez left the class. Cara approached our table and dragged Matt out from class.
"She pissed off," Urbi said.
"That's her fault," Ava said and lead us out from the class.
The cafeteria was full of people. Late to realized that Matt stood in front of me for food queue.
"What the heck ?" Matt mumbled, Cara still holding his hands. He swung his hands harshly to get off from cara's.
"I'm fuckin jealous," Cara yelled back.
"Jealous of what ?" Matt said, his face showed confusion more than ever.
"Jealous seeing you with other girls!" Cara spat.
"You're no one for me Cara," He said and shook his head.
"Don't you see ?"
"See what ?"
"See that i love you bastard!" Cara yelled, her blood was urging on her head. She breathe heavily.
"But i love her," He said, pointed to me and embrace me.
My head rested on his chest and he rested his chin on my hair. My body started to shaking as goosebumps entered.
Matt Torres love me ?
