"NOOOOOO!!" I woke up screaming hysterically my eyes searching the whole room for the person. By breathing is hard, by voice rough and I had been crying. Nothing new but I am tired of this. As in the same nightmares and no amount of sleep.

I picked up my phone from the bedside table to check the time, 4:00 am. Way too early to get ready for university.

And yes, I am a Uni student law major. Today was going to be my first day of University and I was so excited and happy about it just a year ago making plans with her dreams that we could have fulfilled together if only-

Stop thinking.

I can't.

You can you will.

Whatever.

Meet my consy yeah that's what I call it consy I have a weird habit of talking to myself in my brain whenever wherever I want. I can go on with it for hours and sometimes for even minutes.

Since I can't go to sleep anymore without having nightmares I decided to do some yoga and meditation.

••••

After an hour or two I took a warm bath got ready for my first ever day. I wore a red over-sized sweater and a baggy light blue jeans. I put on my big glasses even though I really dont have a eye problem but well afterall this is all an act. A mask,to be as invisible as possible. The more I hide behind these cheap and less stylish clothes the more invisible I become.

I quickly brushed my hair, put on my heart pendant and sprayed my perfume. I quickly packed my bags with the books and my laptop and went downstairs.

The sound of cutting of vegetables and the turning of pages of newspaper greeted me. The sound involuntarily brought a smile on my face. I am so glad that I came back to my home this is probably the only best thing happened since the last year.

Meet my parents Dr.Catalina Jones and Ashton Jones. My mom is a cardiologist and my dad is a businessman a billionaire to be more specific. Yep we are rich like real rich.

"Good morning Mom and dad." I smiled and kissed my dad on the cheek and went to my mom to back hug her. By the way my mom is a hugger and ofcourse as a hugger she turned and gave the tighest and tightest of all warm hugs.

Hugs are good until it gives you breathing problems seriously.

"Darling, you are making my princess breathless again." Dad chuckled and said without even looking up from his paper.

"Shut up look at how adorable she is looking I can bet all she is gonna break all the hearts of those poor men out there. "She pouted and said.

My dad didn't said anything but definitely looked at me and asked," Princess are you okay? "

No, I am not.

I put on my smile it's not fake but it's not genuine either since I have to get my shit together and not look like a damsel in distress. I have to be strong no matter what. So I said," Yes dad I am completely fine and happy or else-"

Mom cut off my words," Then why are you wearing this baggy clothes and those big glasses which you don't even like. "

I sighed. Here we go again.

I can't say anything because they already know but that doesn't mean they are happy to see me like this. Afterall I am thier daughter.

" Mom I am fine we all know why I am doing what I am doing there is nothing more to it and honestly I simply want to complete my college without any trouble or getting any attention. I had enough of those. " I said hoping that they will understand and not to let this conversation go any further.

Mom sighed and carried on with her work while dad patted my head and said, "That was not your fault I just want you to know that."

I gave him a small smile and started having my breakfast and after that bid my parents goodbye all the time with a big genuine smile and lots of hugs from my mother and lots warnings from my father because apparently boys will still look at me.

Typical parents.

I took my car for the day which is my red Lamborghini and went to my university.

••••

I have to say, I'm not disappointed. The infrastructure of the uni is grand. Like the royal type of grand, it did justice to my late-night imagination, mind you I have a very vivid imagination.

Crestwood Heights Academy the most richest and elegant University of New York. This University is exclusively for brat and spoilt kids of everywhere but who also have the GPA of a genius itself don't ask me how but it is what it is.

The students of these uni belongs from the richest to richest of families and who gives fund to these school every year the amount is nowhere near imagination though I can only imagine how much my dad would have spend on it.

But he didn't got the chance I got here on my own, I have worked for it and the University took me under scholarship for the upcoming next four years. I am only one who got the scholarship from my highschool and yeah I am also a genius. Atleast that's the only thing I consider myself good at.

The entrance spans as big as your eyes will allow you see the tall buildings with window glasses all the sides of the buildings. The beaming light of the sun is reflecting on it creating a ethereal view. The campus of the university will take atleast 1 week for me to find out.



Since I have already came early I thought of roaming around a little and true to my words my brain couldn't formulate how the hell they are still looking through such a big place and I haven't even seen less than half of it.

The basketball groud, the football ground, the cafeteria, the classrooms of each and every floor and for goodness Freaking sake this uni has a place doing gymnastics??? You have got to be kidding me.

I roamed for fifteen minutes or something and my legs are already giving up from all the walking around so I sat down under a tree opening my sunglasses but keeping my mask on and closed my eyes since I have still ten minutes to chill around.

•••••

I heard a few whispers, no idea from where but it sounded like a couple of girls. Of course, only girls could gossip and whisper at the same time. I ignored them at first since they were still far away from me, but slowly they started coming close like they wanted me to hear them.

"Is she new?" Someone asked.

"Why would she wear those clothes doesn't she know the elite class of this uni?"

"Exactly, the glasses and her attire are so cheap and boring."

"And why the hell is she sitting under a tree."

"Omg!!! Is she a beggar? Maybe she didn't know about this place."

"Yeah, might be. Look at her hair, it's so messy and plain black ewww."

"I bet she doesn't have big boobs, that's why she’s wearing those baggy things. "

"Girls, can't you see I am resting here? If you have nothing other than gossiping to do, you can leave." I grumbled and said.

I never understood people and their obsession with gossip, can’t they just live their lives minding their own business?

"Seriously girls? Don't you have anything to do other than gossip?" A feminine voice chirped.

I opened my eyes and saw a blonde girl, she was wearing a pink crop top paired with a tight white skirt and holding a coffee cup in her hand. Her face is heart-shaped, she has a pale skin tone, and her platinum blonde hair made her look like she was glowing. Her heart-shaped face has some cute freckles on the nose and cheeks, and her slightly pink pouty lips were seriously making her look like a baby with one hand on her hip and another one holding the coffee to her lips she looked like a cute girl throwing a tantrum.

Overall she looked cute and pretty and already giving me Barbie doll vibes.No surprises there, all the girls were smiling and giggling amongst themselves, not taking her seriously.

She asked again, "Why are you all smiling at huh? -" Before she could say anything I interrupted her, "Hey it's fine I am alright and I didn't really mind them."

She narrowed her eyes as if I was the problem now. "No, shut up don't interrupt me, these girls need a reality check. They don't understand that they shouldn’t bully people just because they can and what not, I will call my brother and ask him to take care of it."

As soon as she said that another voice from behind asked, "What happened Ava? Stop screaming at others first thing in the morning."

I turned towards her and saw a beautiful golden blonde girl. She was wearing a black sweatshirt with cream-coloured baggy pants. On the shirt it was written, “There are no uninteresting things only uninterested people”. Her hair was open but styled with black ribbons and bangs.

Goodness, what's with these people and having unique dress codes, the worst part is that they still looked good in them.

"No don't stop me Maya, look at them. She is new here and was simply resting under the tree, these stupid people who don't have anything better to do, came here and started gossiping about her." She repeated herself and I couldn't keep myself from laughing anymore.

"I am telling you it's fine really, I didn't mind them. People like these have nothing else to do." I assured her and I really didn't mind it, though I would have preferred not being noticed by them to begin with, which was why I was sitting under a tree that was so far away. I have no clue how they even noticed me.

Maya or whatever her name is said, "See? She is fine, stop overreacting about everything."

The girl Ava suddenly turned to me with wide eyes and hugged me? What the actual fuck? "Shit, I forgot to introduce myself I am Ava, the one and only protector of the students of this uni. And well now I am your hero too."

Goodness, I guess she is that type of typical extrovert and a hugger too. God, she reminded me of a certain someone. I patted her back awkwardly, "Hey! Well, I am Scarlett. And yeah thanks for everything even though you didn't have to do it.

"Of course, I had to like I said, I am protective about my people." Ava said with a cute scowl.

"And I am already one of your people?" I couldn't help but ask, I mean well who wouldn’t and it's not like she is a guy or something. I felt comfortable with the way she was talking to me and stood up for me even though she didn't have to. Before she could reply the bell rang indicating it was time for our first class.

Ava grabbed my hand, "I don't know your classes but you better meet us in the cafeteria during lunch."

"I am Maya by the way and yes as Ava said meet us during lunch. " She said with a small smile.

With that, both of them walked away and I had to leave too.
