CHAPTER 1
STACY’S POV
“ We have arrived at Mountain View High,” The can driver told me and I gave him a nod.
I removed my brown sunglasses, did a little touch up on my face before paying him and streppint out of the car.
Placing my monkey bag on my back and putting my shades back on, I felt ready to come back to the same school where I was humiliated.
Time has gone by way too quickly but the pain is still sitting pretty inside my heart. The pain of rejection.
I took a step forward then another step before I finally decided to walk to the administration block. He had hurt me in the past but never again, he was never going to hurt me or any other woman in his life. He certainly was going to regret the choices that he made.
My printed pattern skater skirt, white cropped blouse and black boots made me look pretty and I loved it. Before I used to hide by wearing baggy jeans and baggy t-shirts but that has changed. Right now I am a new person, a new girl who is ready to take over the school. I will be their new Jossy and Vanessa. I will be the popular girl they have always fanned and put on a pedestal. Most importantly, I was going to play the two twin players of the school.
Everyone else finds them handsome and cool and I won't lie, that is true. There was a point in my life I thought that life would end now that one of them rejected me. But not anymore.
“ Hi Miss Flora, welcome to our school,” The secretary smiled at me when I handed her my admission letter.
“ Thank you so much,” I said, taking a seat as she pressed her computer, feeding my name into the system.
“ You look familiar,” She said, moving her glasses that were on her nose to take a close look at me.
“ I am not, I am an international student. This is my first time in the country,” I lied. For a moment, she wanted to counter before she finally decided to let it go.
“ Welcome once again,” She said before getting off her desk.
I sat there looking around. The school hasn't pretty much changed. It has been repainted but nothing has really changed. It's the same Mountain View High, the same school that I was rejected by the love of my life, my soulmate.
“ Wendy, take her around,” The secretary came back with the famous Wendy. The girl who prided herself in leadership yet she was the most selfish girl that I have ever met.
“ Hi, my name is Wendy,” She said and was almost dumbfounded when she looked at me.
“ What's going on, have you seen a ghost?” I asked her, faking my Spanish accent.
“ No, of course not,” She pretended that she was okay but I could see her eyes raking through me.
She felt insecure, I could tell it in an instant. This proved to me that all my hardwork has finally paid off. It had taken me two years to work for my dream body but right now I have it. I also knew how to do my makeup and dying my hair blonde is the best thing that I ever did to myself.
“ Are you going to stay quiet or are you going to tell me about the school? I am interested,” I urged when Wendy was silent.
“ What do you want to know?” She asked.
“ Tell me everything, from the hottest men in the school to the most popular guys. To the lit parties, I want to know everything,” I told her.
“ Well, it's not in my place to tell you that. I am supposed to show you around the school. Not discuss with you popularity theories,” She said. She was clearly intimidated by my presence.
“ How much do you need to talk? I can give you the money that you want, if you can be by my side on this first day of school and feed me with the gist that I need.
“ I cannot be bought,” She said.
“ If I were you, I would want to be my friend,” I told her.
“ You know what, I am done!” She shouted in frustration when we got to the hallway. Just before I could speak my mind, the bell rang and everyone started coming out of their class.
I knew I looked good. I knew I would make heads turn when I walk so I made the hallway my runway and started walking to class.
I could feel their eyes, prying on me, piercing through my back but I didn't look down, or turn my head around. I walked like I commanded the place. I was no longer the girl who hid in her locker room. This was a new dawn for me, this was my time to come and get what is truly mine.
All was well, I could hear girls gist and say that I was hot but the moment I saw the two twin brothers, I almost lost it.
Seeing Scott with Jossy and Travis with Vanessa made my heart drop..The pain that I had been rubbing away from came back to me and ate me up like a hungry wolf.
I was shaking therefore I rushed to the washroom to catch a breather. Thank goodness no one was in there to see me at my moment of weakness.
Tears had started forming in the corner of my eyes but I bit my lower lip to stop them from falling down.I guess you don't get over your first love, the guy who made you want to give up your entire future for the sake of love.
From the word go I knew that my revenge plan would be challenging because of my feelings but I wanted to believe that I would conquer it. I was here to okay the two twin brothers and I was not going to back down.
I applied fresh red lipstick on my lips and just before I stepped out, Wendy who was there all along came to me.
“ Who are you? You are not Stacey. I don't forget faces easily. You can fool everyone but not me.” She said.
