Can't Help Falling In Love novel Chapter 2

That was how I came into existence, a poor rich girl with no father.

"It's wrong mom, it is"

"I just broke the first news to you and you are grumbling. What if I say the other one? " Mom said.

What?

"And what is it? " I asked with my eye brows wrinkled.

"Well I registered you at Wearous High School" My mom proclaimed.

I was shocked by her statement.

Why Mom?

"You'll be resuming tomorrow, I've got you the uniforms and everything you would need to look like a student of Wearous school"

"WHS is meant for wealthy students from wealthy homes" I reminded her just to be sure she knew what she was saying.

"You are a rich girl remember?" My Mom said and I scoffed, Yeah a poor rich girl.

She calls me a rich girl because I have a wealthy father who is absolutely anonymous to me.

"Aren't you the one always telling me to be myself and never to emulate what other people do? " I asked adamantly.

"Listen Audrey, I know the school is well-popular for being prosperous and filled with wealthy students. Don't make it uneasy for us, if it is about the money...you don't need to worry about it, b'cos I've gotten you an after school Job, it's not too far from Wearous High School"

"Oh Mom, you are doing so many things without my consent" I sniveled then intentionally fell flat on a couch.- It was... comfortable.

"I know you don't want it, that's why I did all these things without informing you first" Mom announced.

"And what if..?" I paused "What if I reject it all, I mean I refuse to go to WHS, I refuse to take a part-time job or even refuse to stay in this house and it's Environment" I said and saw a rising unhappy-and-angry look on her face.

"You won't want to make me sad right? " Mom said already looking despondent.

"I love you mom, sincerely I do. I don't want you to spend or go through too much" I briefly explained.

"But I'm not complaining " she argued.

"Ok fine! I'll do what you want, I'll act like I'm one of the rich girls from a rich home when I get to the school" I said sarcastically and mom heaved a sigh of relief 'cos the long argument has finally come to an end.

"Where is the kitchen, I'll go make dinner" I said then stood up.

Making Mom happy is what I want the most and nothing more.

I woke up very early the next day, thanks to the small alarm I met by my bed-side.

Ready for school...

My new school, Wearous High School.

Do I need to introduce myself? Nah, I already did that yesterday.

I still don't believe I could sleep all alone in this pretty room..

At Aunt.Bridget's place, my mom and I shared a room.

I silenced the alarm which won't stop ringing if I don't, then I wore my slippers and staggard to bathroom as if I were drunk.

**

The school uniform was Wow! , what else do you expect? It's expensive too yet mom got it for me.

I had to put it on anyway, since there aren't other options than to do what she wants.

The only problem that is getting me worked up, is the new school itself, and my new classmates. They sure will all be from a wealthy home and they might not want me in their midst whereas I love to make friends not withstanding their background.

I placed my hands above my fore-head... Arrgh, the whole thing is giving me headache.

"Mom, there would be a lot of customers" I repeated "And some of the male customers may be flity...You called me a very beautiful girl didn't you? So when flirty guys sees a beautiful girl, what do you expect? " I asked trying to make her understand

"Audrey, do you know what I went through before I got you this huge paying job? " Mom queried

"Are you trying to tell me to give it to them? " I smiled

"What? No and why would I? Not after what your father did to me" Mom said frowning.

I hate when she talks about Dad.

"You know what to do dear, Ignore them okay? " My mom said.

I looked at the small wall clock. Oh my God! I woke up very early, how did I spend so much time already.

"I'm already late" I almost shouted. "On my very first day of school" I added as I stood up and quickly took my schoolbag and hung it on my back.

"Take care baby" My mom gave me another peck on the cheek and I walked hastily out of the house.

Even the cab driver would be surprised..why I am going to school so late.

**At Wearous High School .

I climbed the stairs following all guides and instructions scribbled on the walls and doors.

Soon I found my new classroom and there was a teacher in there-teaching.

I took a deep breath in the out then I walked in.

All eyes were on me when I walked in, including the teacher.
