{ Primrose High school }

“Hey, Are you still leaving? Brianna placed her butt on my desk.

“I will” I mumbled packing up my stuffs.

“It almost time for the next class, I hope you won’t get stuck this time” She muttered getting her butt off my desk and headed to her seat.

The resounding footsteps that suddenly barged into the rowdy classroom caught everyone attention.

Just as Brianna expected, it was the next teacher.

I let out a soft sigh and got on my feet

I shuffled my feet towards the exit door ignoring everyone little stare.

“Where are you off to Sloane? The teacher’s voice echoed through the quiet classroom.

I inhaled softly before taking a turn around.

“My mom got sick” I responded quite low but I was so sure everyone heard that.

The whole class chuckled at my words including Brianna, It is that obvious that I lie on her every time? Or maybe I was never lying.

“You should wait till the end of the class before leaving” she deadpanned

I had been expecting that.

I nodded in agreement and went back to my seat.

“Are you seriously waiting? Brianna whispered behind me.

Her seat was right behind mine.

I totally ignored her battling with the crazy thought running through my mind.

I watched as Grace got on her feet flicking away a strand of long dark hair from her face before she catwalk out without the teacher’s interruption.

I scoffed inwardly and relax my back .

Yeah, She got the power to do everything.

“What are you planning? Can I help? She whispered again behind me.

Ignoring her, I threw my bag off the window.

“I will go get my bag” I rumbled to the teacher getting on my feet,

before her approval I was out.

“I will follow her” Brianna ran after me.

I dust off my bag and headed for the exit school gate.

Am Sloane, A young High school student with tons of stories to tell.

Am cold and hardly interact with people and Obviously they all hate me expect for Brianna who keeps tagging after me.

“Holy, You should wait for me Sloane! She screamed from afar.

I adjusted my earphone ignoring her loud yell, Most time I wonder if she doesn’t get tired.

“Need a ride? He parked roughly right in front of me.

“Brandon? I huffed into the air.

Brianna’s Twin brother, I couldn’t figure out why they were always after me.

The two weird people I hate so badly. I just hate clingy people.

“No” I rejected his offer without giving it a second thought.

I got on the road and trek down home, It wasn’t really far as everyone thought.

I walked into the same street, It is known as Billionaire’s Road. The name says it all.

I sigh as I stared at the Big Mansion right in front of me with exotic cars parked at the garage.

The Walton family.

I dragged my feet in, Mom was at the living room on her weak ankles scrubbing the floor.

I didn’t give a second glance before I diverted into my room.

“Why are you back home Sloane? Her soft voice stopped me.

She must have heard my footsteps.

I took a glance at her wrinkled face which completely covered up her Beauty.

I shrugged it off and barged into my dark lifeless room.

“Are you okay? She got on her weak legs and limped after me.

“I clearly told you to stop asking me that! I turned at her with anger.

She nodded pitifully.

Jeez, I just hate that innocent act.

“I will just take my leave” she muttered and I watched her walk out.

I walked towards my closet running through my clothesline but something seems off which baffled me greatly,

My dress was gone!

“Mom who went through my closet? I barged into the living room in anger.

But surprisingly she wasn’t there,

“Am right here” I heard her hollered from the next room.

She was on her weak knee scrubbing the toilet floor.

“I told you to stop doing this mom! I yelped dragging her up.

“If she doesn’t then who will? I heard this familiar footsteps which voice echoed through the room.

I ran my hand into my messy hair in frustration.

I thought she wasn’t home, why on earth is she here?

“She is nothing but a maid, Don’t ever forget that” She gently mutter those harsh words on my face.

I gritted my teeth trying to hold out the sensation of fire burning within me.

“You should hurry with this, You have to scrub my toilet neatly like you always do” She added in delight turning to mom.

“She might be a maid but don’t forget the fact that she is the Mistress of your so called Husband and has a daughter like you do, so stop treating her as a Maid! I blunt out.

Her arms reeled back, her open palm slicing through the air and finally landed a slap across my face. The force threw me backwards, I slammed into the floor right in front of mom who stood still without saying a word.

I can’t believe she is still scared of her.

“Seriously? I scoffed rubbing my burning cheek.

“Don’t ever talk to me that way Bastard” she gritted her teeth glaring with her big eyeball.

“She is nothing but a maid” She glanced at mom before walking out.

I grew up as an illegitimate daughter, A maid illegitimate child. I was never for once treated as a child in the house but just like a maid daughter that I am.

“Who the hell work at her child’s father house as a maid? I whimpered.

“I told you to stop saying that” mom crouched and gave me a soft stroke on my hair.

She keeps doing that to calm me down.

“That’s the fact mom, it fuckin annoying mom”

“Can’t we just get the f**k out of here mom? I whispered in tears.

No matter what, mom will never agree to leave, she keep holding in her reason.

She pulled me into her warm arm, I let out my tears freely.

“I don’t need that” I pulled away from her wiping my tears before walking away.

But Within a minute I was back again, I totally forgot the reason I came.

“Mom, who the hell went through my closet! I questioned the second time in great fury.

She was quiet and I already knew who it was.

“That piece of sh*t! I clenched my fist.

******

I ran in checking my wristwatch

“You are damn late “ I ran into Brianna.

I was quite shocked but I shallowed it up.

she must have secretly ran through my schedule again.

I ignored her and dashed walked towards the second door.

I twisted the door knob and walked into the stage room.

“Why are you late? The first Man turned to my face

“Who is she? The lady he was having a conservation with turn to my face.

“She is the new model” His eyes scanned through the record book.

“She looks really great, Just let her in” She stared intently at me before giving a light nod.

There was just few people around.

“What about your costume? The man questioned.

I was quiet, How will I explain that my dress was stolen?

“You should go change in there” He signaled at the dressing room.

I took my feet and enter into the empty dressing room.

How could I explain that I came empty handed?

I couldn’t afford to buy another dress at the late hour. I had to save for month before I could afford the disappeared one.

After minutes of sitting down helplessly, I finally summoned the courage to walk outside.

“Why are you still in the same dress?Her eyes ran all over me as I walked out.

I couldn’t sight the other man.

“I...

I was interrupted by the sudden footsteps that barged into the tense room.

It was the other man.

“I don’t think we need her, I find someone perfect “ His deep voice ran through the room.

Everyone looks surprised.

“Who? The lady questioned in curiousness as she spun around to his face.

“She is already on stage” He simpered.

He never seems to be bother that I was right there.

We all turned to the stage,

My entire body tense as the light shine deeply on the familiar figure, I thought I was hallucinating but it was really her.

I watched as she swayed her hips on the big stage that I have been dreaming for years.

Grace?
