THE LAST SCHOOL YEAR

CHAPTER 3: FIRST DAY AT BRIDGERTON 😚♥️

( CHERRY'S POV;)

Summer was over and it was time to resume the last session if college, it was a big challenge, cuz i couldn't still believe the fact that i wasn't going back to Spain, i cried my eyes out every night but still nothing was going to change.

My friends were sad when they heard the bad news, but we promised each other to remain active on the girlies group on our phones, it was like a dream but it wasn't, i slapped my face severally, thinking it was one of my nightmares.

That was the worse summer ever, and now i was gonna start a new life here, wanna know why i schooled in Spain? no one asked.

We once lived in Spain before mom passed, i started schooling there ,then years on my dad decided to move on , he found a wife and decided to relocate, he didn't want his past to Hinder his decisions, so he left and as for me , i remained there with my nanny Mira, i always smiled when i called that name because for sixteen crazy years of my life , she was right there with me and we both lived in Spain and go to see dad every summer, all that was about to be shattered right now, i thought.

It was reality as we were being driven to school in one of my dad's car, it was really expensive, the windows were dark shaded as the people out couldn't see us, it was a black and shinny Porsche.

Richard sat next to me at the back seat as violet wouldn't let me compete the front seat with her, she sat next to the driver,ohh sorry one of the drivers, i couldn't even recognize him, cuz there were numerous drivers, i wondered if my dad fired them every single day but that wasn't possible.

Violet was always the Type to wear makeups i was too, so i didn't judge her based on that and it was the only thing we had in common which i hated , it was what i loved and I didn't care about her, she was so proud just like her mom.

( AUTHOR'S POV; )

Introducing Bridgerton college, a school of high grades and class, you could see the building even before you reach it. The wide gates were open during term, tall, black with a crest welded into the arc, an open book beneath a single star........ BRIDGERTON COLLEGE: where endings become beginnings is etched into the stone gate post.

Four stories of brick and limestones, with windows so tall that they looked like they were trying to pull the sky inside.The central tower holds the clock which hadn't been correct since the year 2000, but no ony fixed it. The school was just so gigantic, awesome, amazing and more words similar to these.

(CHERRY'S POV; )

As he drove into the gate, i meant our driver, we all got down from the car as he bids us good bye and left.

I was lost by the view right in front of me, what caught my attention the most was the garden by the side of the school, it was beautiful, my favorite flowers were there including others like marigold, sunflower, rose flower, the hibiscus any most importantly dandelions!, that got me but they were secured and no one was allowed to touch them, i could see the sign board in front of them.

I took my time to view the atmosphere as i stood in oni spot, my hair flew in the hair due to the cool breeze out there, i loved the atmosphere, it was surrounded with trees , gardens and flowers, for cool ventilation.

Just then i realized thay there could still be a lot more i had to discover in there, as i turned to my left a view caught me right there, it was hilarious, it was a guy trying to chase a girl who wasn't interested in him, he then knelt with a bouquet of flowers and i guessed it was from the garden, but then i tried to laugh, but what was the point?, i wasn't happy to be there anyways.

cherry be wise

you're just here for the main time.

I realized my so called siblings were long gone.

how was i supposed to find my way?

did they just leave me all by my self?

well i didn't need their company, i would rather get lost than move side to side with them.

Buhh what do i do? .....

I walked in slowly to the entrance. Bridgerton front doors were twelve feet tall and navy blue.

I took both hands to pull one open and the marble foyer inside swallowed the sound of it, someone had just smuggled in from Hartwell cafe , that was the name of their cafeteria.

The clock above me was three minutes slow , I'd read that on the school website at 2 am.

To my right , the glass Library glowed through arched doors. Two stories of window , a balcony, one wobbly table under the window with no one on it , i guessed it was the librarian's desk but was absent.

Hanging over the staircase, the class of 2026 banner caught my eye .

" my year", i became so nervous, the tittle of the classroom was.... GOLDEN ROOM... sounded cool.

It was a wide long passage with different doors and class tittles, at that point i knew it was the lecture floor.

" cherry you can do this, stay calm and stay strong, no dullings ", i smiled because it was something i way very good at, my esteem was lit and I'd never seen anyone compete that with me, but only my weakness, u all know, the NIGHTMARES.

I walked into the classroom with so much confidence, though all eyes on me though and i settled in one of the chairs , to my left was an empty chair any my right a cute girl, she was my seatmate, the chairs were arranged in twos.

( ETHAN POV; )

I walked into the classroom majestically, meeting the health teacher, who was taking them lectures, no ony dared to question me though, you know what it felt like to be the god of a room, that was exactly how things were.

As i moved towards my seat b, i realized something changed, i never had a seatmate by my left and all of a sudden, there's a complete stranger right in front of me.

I settled in quickly ignoring the girl beside me.

Looked like she was new, i tried to focus on the scanty words written on the white board .

I pulled out my air pods any shrugged it into my ears , it was a part of me and everyone knew, i must admit my academic performance was poor...... EXTREMELY poor....... yeah as serious as that.

I was in a world of imagination when I heard someone yelled my name, i quickly responded.

," pull that offff !!!!!", the teacher complained and as i was about pulling them ,one fell of and i bent to pick it but to my shock , her hands brushed mine, you know who i was talking about ....the new girl....she wanted to help out or she was just flirting?, i thought and immediately she moved her hand and focused on lecture, i quickly picked them up with the whole scene still playing in my memory.

( CHERRY;)

I sat in the cafeteria during break, there were different tables , and i was the only one on mine,i gulped the coffee down into my throat and took time to stare at the whole place, just then i saw my step siblings with their friends.

" hello", i heard a sweet voice calling me back to reality as she took her seat right in front of me..... oops finally got someone on my table.

" hi I'm Cassie and you? , she asked in a friendly tone as she took the jar of coffee on the center of the table to serve herself in her little glass.

" cherry, that's my name ", i finally replied her. " wait you are my seat mate? , i said to her.

" yeah I Know that's why i want to know you better, i haven't had a seatmate since Ashley left", she explained.

I knew that was her former seatmate. Its so nice to meet you and I'm hoping you could show me around, we could be friends " ,i blurted out.

"sure its a pleasure", she said smiling really hard.

I took time to observe, she was so beautiful, starting from her hair, which was brown and long and also dark brownish curls at the tip, her eyeballs were piercing skyblue with her lashes really long but not as long as mine which was way longer than that, she was tall and a little bit chubby with her soft cheeks , i didn't touch but somehow i just guessed , now that's enough.

Cassie took me all around the school, from the library i saw earlier to the staff section, the restroom which was so wide and spacious, i met with few teachers and they were so nice to me, Mrs Catherine, i remembered gave me a little lecture.

Cassie was a fun person to roll with, we went to the theatre, which was as big as a five star Cinema where drama and other art work were being displayed.

I even met the art director and he had asked me to join the acting group but i told him i wasn't ready yet.

We headed towards the sport center on the ground floor but Cassie stopped us.

On our way there she had told me that the sport center consisted of various sports like basketball , volleyball, swimming, while the field, and baseball were outside the school.

" why did we stop?, i asked her confused.

" we can't go in now ", she said

" bu...t why? ", i asked cuz i really loved sports.

" we can't go in because Ethan is practicing any we can't distract him, during breaks, when he's not at the cafeteria , he comes here hoping thay no one would disturb, you can check through the glass", she said and i just stood in awe.

Who the hell was this Ethan?, i thought.

I looked through the glass like Cassie had instructed and there was him , playing with so much passion and talent, he was on a short pant and armless vest with his stockens and sneakers.

We watched him play and i recalled.

" the guy sitting next to me ", i asked myself but Cassie helped with the reply, she nodded.

He looked so handsome and innocent ", i asked myself lost in thoughts as i heard an intentional cough from Cassie.

" are you okay? ",i asked her but she smiled.

" Really?, innocent? ,

don't let his looks deceive you, he's a bad guy ", she revealed, then i realized she heard me the first time.

" F....k", i cursed silently.

Soon we headed back to the classroom and on our way we exchanged contacts and i had just saved her name as.... Cassie ♥️ with numerous love emojis.

The teacher walked in immediately we got to the classroom, we had spent a lot time at the sport center, but Ethan, shouldn't he be here?, i asked Cassie and guess what?

"he attends class whenever he wants", she said and i scoffed, he was truly weird.

******

We all arrived home , and the first to welcome me was my nanny.

The house was just too boring, i walked into my room throwing myself on the bed with a great sigh as my nanny sat next to me and in less thay an hour, I told her everything thing that happened to her.

" hmm Cassie seems cool", she pouted.

" kinda", i replied her as i stood up to shower after a long chat.

" I'll leave you to your privacy, I'll go do laundries", she said and left.

I never asked her to leave though but ,i loved the way she respected my privacy, you know as a girl child i deserved it, i smiled and walked into the bathroom.

I got dressed in my nightwear as i hit my head on the pillow staring at the ceiling deep in thoughts, my first day at bridgerton wasn't as bad as i thought, the activities, meeting Cassie.......the thoughts of the weird guy kept running in my mind, if he was that bad, i hoped that I wouldn't cross paths with him.

Later i picked up my phone to check the girls group and there were tons of messages.

Jia: has anyone heard from cherry

Brex: no i guess she's having fun right there

Cherry: heyy girls, I'm fine

Brex: ohh cool u're still alive

Cherry: come on , my bad

Jia: whatevs......

After chatting for a while i turned to my side to have a good night sleep and hoped there wouldn't be any nightmare.
