5 Chapter 5. A stunning girl and new wishes. (1/2)
The morning sun was just rising, casting its soft rays throughout the city of Alight. The atmosphere was warm and perfect for the students, who were going to start a new academic year. Some houses were bustling with rushing teenagers along with their parents to get everything ready. Eager to join into the prestigeous school, High Academy.
The school recruits students for three days, to avoid all the commotion. Today was the first day and the students, who got the joining letter for today's joining were busting with excitement and nervousness. Roselia's sister, Sophia, was one of them.
”Sophie. are you ready? We are going to be late, sweety.” Sophia's mother shouted from the kitchen while preparing a large breakfast for her daughter's last meal in the house, until she gets back for her holidays. Robert was busy loading all the huge and heavy baggage of her only daughter into the car. Sophia was still in her room, dolling up like it was her wedding day.
All the busy rushing footsteps, soon woke up Roselia. Her light brown hazel colored eyes opened and peaked through her lashes towards the window. It was bright outside and she jolted awake at once seeing it. She groaned while stretching her neck, it was little cramped from her sleeping position on the ground. She looked down and saw the envelope was still in her hands.
”Mom, I'm ready!” Rose heard a yell from across her room. Sophia. It was the joining day of her. She immediately scrambled to her feet and pressed her ear to the door, trying to listen what was the status down there. She certainly didn't want to face them right now. So, she decided to hang in her room until they left.
After 10 minutes, she looked at her bedside clock and was satisfied that their attention would not be on them now. They would be too busy to mind her and in loading out of the house. She opened the door slowly and looked out to scan the hallway. Clear. Like a person on a dangerous mission, she slowly stepped as not to make any noise. She carefully took every step down and could hear them.
The clatter of dishes were heard, meaning they were done eating and now were ready to leave. Just as she was on the last step, Sophia appeared out of nowhere and pushed her, startling Rose. She lost her footing and landed hard on the hard wooden floor. She groaned slightly at the pain in her left hand and propped up on her arm to lift herself up slightly, to see the pretty face with ugly intentions smirking at her.
Sophia 'tsked' her tongue in disapproval. ”Pathetic. What school would even accept you? Such a waste of money to send on you for middle school. You didn't even get a letter to join in any low rank high school. You have got nothing in you. Look at me, going to one of the famous high school.” Sophia bragged while pushing a little strand which fell on her shoulder onto her back.
”When did you even pay for my fee... Didn't I pay my own fee through scholarship? ” Roselia answered with her gaze instead of words. She didn't want any attention from them. So she didn't speak anything out.
”Anyways, why would I even say that? There is no comparison between you and me.Neither in beauty nor in studies. And don't even think about dreaming a bright future. You already lost to me in all ways.” She slowly approached and leaned down a bit to whisper lowly. ”You will rot here your whole life, b*tch”.
Sophia eyes held pure hatred and evil.
”Honey, why are bothering yourself by talking to that thing. You shouldn't involve with her while your going to start your bright life” Claire came up behind her daughter and pushed her lightly toward the entrance of the house. She glared at the fallen Roselia and continued her way out.
”Finally, I can be far away from her at least” Rose heard Sophia mutter before she left the house. Rose turned her gaze towards the door and slowly smirked to herself. ”Dream on, b*tch, ” she said while getting up and went to the kitchen. She needed to have energy if she wants to get her life better.
Their was literally a grand feast made in the honour of the departure of Manhattan's only daughter. Rose rolled her eyes at this. But, she was happy, at least she could feast to her heart's content before leaving this hell hole. The thought made excitement rush through her. She had a lot of time. Because she knew they weren't going to be back anytime soon. The High Academy was far, secluded and hard to reach.
She quickly had her fill and rushed to her room, where her belongings were safely packed up. She thought through her plan the other night. This time she was going to make it for sure. No more mishaps are encouraged. Otherwise, she really have to rot in this rotten house till her death just like Sophia spoke.
