Bea is sitting at the backseat as she covered her eyes with an eye mask. Noah is their driver on their way to the Empire Academy. She wanted to argue more to her father but somehow, he made everything final. What can she do about it? She isn't the boss of her father's army and she can't just command Noah to leave her life.

She removed her eye mask and exhaled.

​​

"Do you need anything, Lady Bea?" Noah asked as he glanced at the rear mirror.

"Nothing." She mumbled and checked Thunder and Flash and then Sophia who is sleeping comfortably since the sedan is very wide where they could stretch their legs out.

"Don't you have another mission?" She suddenly asked.

"My mission is to protect you and your siblings."

She rolled her eyes and leaned on her seat. She stared at nowhere for a while feeling frustrated and anxious.

Laurence did install a camera to her backpack and new ID. He told her that he won't snoop until she told her so or if it's an emergency. He also gave her a figurine that has a battery to put it on her locker just in case someone would prank her.

So, although he's a little late. He kept lecturing her on what to do. Esme only nodded and that's when Percy and Ashaya drive her to school and he took a chopper with Christian, Demi, Zendaya, and Timothy. Since Christian and Timothy need to be in the city to prepare for the opening of the café.

"You seemed to be protective of your sister," Demi noted over the microphone of their headphones.

"I am. Dad told me to protect them. So, here I am as a responsible man." Laurence said with a grin.

Christian chuckled since he's driving the chopper.

"What if you get a girlfriend and your girlfriend bully your sister?" Timothy asked.

"Well, I'll ditch that girlfriend. Family comes first." He told.

"I agree with you. Totally." Zendaya said.

"Why are the triplets not with us, again?" Laurence asked with creased brows.

"Dad is taking them to school. He said that the three of them had something to discuss alone. So, he lends the chopper to us." Zendy answered. "They are dropping it off to the Pattinson Corporation."

Laurence nodded as he watched the beauty from being above.

Esme felt so shy as Percy and Ashaya escort her inside. Her bodyguard will be waiting around and checked her location. It doesn't look good to have bodyguard tagging along with her. So, for her to have a normal life, they only let the bodyguard outside the building and will escort her and wait with her until her driver arrives.

They left baby Zayne with the nanny so, Ashaya could at least escort her to school. They checked her papers and escorted her to her classroom just three steps away when Esme told them that she'll be fine.

Percy checked if her wristwatch is activated and her phone and then he noticed the camera on her bag and then on her ID lace. Laurence might've installed it.

"So, you are a Pattinson now, okay?"

She nodded.

"Your cousins, Dean and Allen are also in here. They are in the 5th grade. You should eat lunch with them and snacks with them."

"I'll be fine." She said again.

"Okay." Ashaya nodded and hugged her and kissed her cheeks. "Enjoy." She said. The principal is just behind them to escort them.

Percy nodded at the Principal and they left.

Esme followed the Principal inside and she kept her head down.

The Principal talked to the adviser which is Mrs. Nancy Dela Cruz. The Principal told her that it will be her class and she nodded and the Principal left.

"Okay, class. So, we have a new student. Miss Pattinson, please introduced yourself.

"I'm Esme Pattinson." She said and looked at the adviser. The adviser smiled.

"Okay, uh, take the vacant seat."

She went at the backseat beside the window and she put her bag on the seat beside her since their chair and desk are a little long and she since each face of the bag has a camera on it, she made sure that it focused on the board, just in case that she didn't understand their subject.

"Psst!" Someone caught her attention and she looked at the guy. He's a foreign guy with a blonde head. Everyone is foreign and rich. They have a Gucci bag, expensive shoes and everything they had is expensive.

"Psst, I like your name." She glanced at the blonde guy again. She ignored it and listen to the teacher attentively.

Her first class is English it's a refreshing one than in math. So, she took out her book. Yup. Everyone is still using the book. It's their workbook so, then, the class started.

Laurence started stretching for their sparring. He thought about his sister. Is she doing well?

He shook his head and faced the twins, Rhys and Raiden.

"Can we touch your boobs?" The twins asked.

"Damn, are you still into that thing?" he creased his brows.

"Yeah," They nodded. "So, can we touch your boobs?"

He covered his chest and frowned at them.

"I'm going to fucking kill the two of you." He warned them.

"It's fine. You can touch ours." Rhys said and lifted his shirt. They stopped when the girls look on their way.

"Come on, show it to us. We are eager to see it." Raiden grinned boyishly.

He looked around anxiously. Sure, that he had slept with a girl or two but with crowds around, they knew that he was the weird guy who was more into books. Their professor hasn't arrived yet and seemed to be discussing with someone.

He turned back and stopped when the twins strip his shirt. They completely tore his shirt open in the middle and their eyes widen and smacked his chest.

"Wow."

The girls gaped seeing the muscles that he's hiding. He pushed the two, but they tore it all off until it was off from his body.

Someone whistled and Zendaya is taking a video of it and checked the girl's reaction as they droll over his body. He pushed the twins. The twins laughed at him. Soon, their professor arrived, and he stopped seeing Laurence half-naked and the twins have the rest of the cloth that was tore from Laurence.

The Professor cleared his throat and glared at them.

"The three of you, 100 push-ups." He demanded.

Laurence glared at the twins and he went down and start doing push-ups without a shirt on. The girls are murmuring as they watch them, and Laurence's muscles looked like engaging. He had complete eight-packs abs. Zendaya is taking a video of them through her smartwatch and she's enjoying how those girls droll over her cousins.

****

Sophia is grinning and her hands are so excited that it started shaking as Zendaya transfer the video to her laptop. This is going to be something. The title will be the Hot Boys of the Empire Academy. They had subscribers around and people who pay just to watch the video.

Starring will be Laurence and the twins. Then with sub actors and actresses who are the gays and girls that are drooling over her cousins.

"Nice shot, Zen," Sophia said as she watched the whole footage.

"You are welcome." Zendaya sipped on her bubble tea and then Noah distributes their snacks. Bea fresh from the bath and her hair is still wet.

"We roll over some muds," Bea told as she sat down.

"You got scratches on your elbows," Zendaya said. Bea checked it. She didn't feel it. She's too clumsy.

Noah came with a first aid kit and he knelt beside Bea and reached her elbow. Zendaya is filming at the time that Bea entered, and Sophia winked at her idea. Bea was too shock from it as Noah started treating her scratches from each elbow and then he checked her knees since she's wearing denim shorts.

Bea pointed the scratch and he points ointment on it.

"Don't scratch it." He told and stood.

Then he served her snack. The twins shrill like girls after Noah served her snack.

"How sweet?" The twins said at the same time. Bea frowned at them as she started eating.

Esme waited with her bodyguard. She didn't sign up for a few after class activities. She just wanted to go home. She met the diva girls, where they were in her class and the blonde guy that kept bugging her looked good, but the looks could always deceive someone. She doesn't trust the guy or anyone in there.

Rich people are always like that. Besides, she met Dean and Allen at lunch and told her about people that she should never bump into with. But if someone started bullying her, she should let them know. However, it's too odd that she had a backup from those boys since she's two years older than them. She should be the one to protect them.

She sighed and greet Ashaya and the baby. Then she went to her room. Then, her phone started ringing. She thought that it would be Laurence but it's Kale. She answered.

"Hey, how's the first day of school?" He asked

She put down her bag and smiled bitterly.

"It's okay."

"It sounded not okay to me," Kale said.
