Catherine walked inside the cafeteria with Talia beside her, as soon as the students noticed them, they kept quiet.

She fumbled with her bag subconsciously, her eyes moving from one place to the other.

"Don't mind them and let us go and get our food," Talia told her, she nodded her head and walked forward when Kisa stand on her way.

"Catherine, I want rice and sauce, go and get it for me quickly." She said and snapped her hand at Cat. Catherine stood there watching her, her face morph into that of anger.

"What is that supposed to mean, Kisa? She is not your maid." Talia fummed. Kisa smirked and turned to face Catherine.

"What are you still waiting for? Go!" She bellowed, Catherine nodded her head and extended her hand to collect money from her.

"You will have to pay for it." Kisa said.

"I don't have enough money to buy food for you!" Catherine deadpanned. Where did she want her to get the money from? She has no more than five dollars inside her purse and she has to manage it for lunch. How can she afford to buy the food a spoilt brat like Kisa want to eat?

"Should I search your bag instead?" Kisa asked.

"Quit the drama now, Queens. It is boring?" A voice said. Kisa turned around and was met face to face with Anitra.

Something flashed in her eyes; defiance and something else.

They both stood before each other, Catherine noticed that the cafeteria has suddenly turned into a cemetery, the silence was surprising.

Catherine stared at the boy standing before Kisa and she let herself memorize his look.

He has a jet black hair, a pointed nose and a chiseled jaw.

His body was broaded and muscled. He must be an athlete.

His tan skin was shinning.

Suddenly murmur broke out among the students.

"Anitra is back."

"Oh my God! Is that Anitra Steel?"

"This is going to be interesting."

"Where is Ace?"

Catherine wondered what could make the students act so surprise at the presence of this handsome boy before her.

He has that friendly vibe around him and she couldn't help but get intrigued by him.

"You don't boss me around, Anitra. What I do is none of your concern." Kisa seethed out.

"Well, I just made this one my concern." He said and looked pass Kisa. His eyes rested on Catherine and she gasped. His olive green eyes were beautiful.

How can a boy's eyes look so sexy?

____

He walked pass Kisa and walked up to Catherine.

She caught his attention.

Anitra doesn't know why he was walking up to her but he just felt that pull, that pull urging him to keep going.

"Hi," Anitra said immediately he got to where she was standing with her friend.

"Hi," came her soft voice.

How innocent, he thought.

She looked breakable, he thought.

"I am Anitra Steel, you must be a new student." Anitra said and Catherine nodded her head.

It amused him that she couldn't even talk to him. He like her already, especially since Queens doesn't like her, that will piss her off even more knowing that he is close with the person she doesn't like.

Kisa walked towards her table where she was occupying with her friends angrily and Anitra chuckled.

"It was nice meeting you, Catherine. Hope we have more iconic meeting in the future." Anitra said and winked at Catherine.

* *****

Catherine climbed down from the bus and ran across the street, it was raining heavily and she had no umbrella with her.

When she returned home her clothes were stuck to get skin, her shoes are wet and her toes are cold and stiff.

Her wild golden hair sticks to her temples and forehead, water dripping down her body.

She stood at the front door and sat down on the patio letting the rain whip her.

She had always loved the rain, it make her think even more clearly than on a normal day.

She closed her eyes and her mind tried to compose everything that has been happening in her life since she started in RHS.

It was a good thing that Ace didn't come to school that day and weirdly the students weren't disturbing her either.

Then there was Anitra. He was just a cute boy in school that seems friendly. And the way he looked at Catherine sent shivered down her spine, not from pleasure but from something else.

Catherine sighed. She stood up from where she was sitting down and knocked on the door.

It was a good thing that her bag was leather, else her stuffs would have been destroyed by the rain.

The droplet of waters dropping from her body to the ground made her anxious.

She knocked on the door again and sighed.

Where could her aunt be?

The door was pulled opened revealing a very angry Vivian.

"Aunt, good evening." Catherine greeted and walked inside the house.

"The evening will be bad for you if you mess my floor with that rain droplets." Vivian sneered before walking away.

So yes, Catherine's life is probably one of the worst out there.

Her aunt hates her, her uncle don't like talking to her and her life is even more worse in school.

Such an interesting life, it deserves a docuseries.

Catherine ran upstairs and pushed her room door open, she locked the door as she walked inside and dropped her back beside her bed.

She walked inside the adjoined bathroom inside her room and stripped out of her school uniform.

She got under the shower and closed her eyes as the lukewarm water grace her skin.

Catherine groaned as she wash her body with her strawberry body wash.

'you are for me'

'you will submit, you will break,'

Remembering those words send fear into Catherine.

She wiped away the forge on the mirror in front of her. Catherine stared at herself on the mirror especially the place where Ace left an hickey the other day.

She relaxed a little when she noticed that the hickey was gone. At least there will be nothing to remind her of him.
