Innocent or Not novel Chapter 1

Lia contemplated on whether she was gonna wear her pink necklace or her black beaded necklace. She rested a hand on her hip casually as she eyed the necklaces. However, as she was supposed to choose? It was to be her first day in a public school and to say the least, she was nervous. Nonetheless, she was also happy that she was cancer-free meaning she didn't need to spend her long boring days in a hospital bed. "Dear hurry up! The car will be leaving soon!" Her mother yells but Lia was oblivious to her mother's calls.

Lia rose her buttoned nose in the air, proudly. She would have to go with her pink necklace because she loved pink. She decided on that and successfully put it on. She beamed as she did a few twirls. "Lia!" Her mother yells and she squeals as she grabs her green backpack and raced downstairs.

Her mother stood her suit on and her hair wrapped in a bun. Her sweet lavender scent lingering off of her making Lia giggle. She loves the way her mother smelled. So fresh yet so deadly. "S-Sorry! Alright, I'm ready so let's do it!" Lia cheers proudly as she storms her way to the car that was waiting for her. Her mother chuckled but trailed behind her.

When they arrived twenty minutes later, Lia gawked at the school. She dreamt of school ever since she was five. Even though she was only seventeen, barely experiencing school. She made her duty to have to best two years of school and then she was off to college.

"Remember my precious, if anything happens I want you to call me. If you feel out of breath then use your inhaler and please remember to not drink the milk ." Her mother dreads out as her face goes pale. All innocent Lia did was nod ferociously. She was haft paying attention because the public school in front of her amazed her more than the schools on TV.

"Yes, mama. I won't. Can I please leave now?" She smiles as she pulls her mother in a hug. Gina, her mother, soon relaxed with her touch and hugged her back. Leaving kisses on her forehead. Then the bell ranged slightly frightened the young girl. It was only the warning bell though. "Oh no. I'm late. Bye-bye, I'll see you after school!" She gets on her tippy toes and kisses her cheek before running to the school doors.

Once she entered she wowed the place. Yeah, she saw public schools on TV but she didn't expect it to be this huge and big. She felt embarrassed as she saw all the teenagers rushing to class so she held on her backpack strings tighter and proceeded to the principal's office.

"Please, sir. My mother prefers to not make my appearance as royalty known." She blushes nervously as she bounces on her feet. Mr.Nelson noticed the young girl's action and smiled at her. She reminded him of his grownup daughter.

"Ah, that's right Lia. I forgot. Anyways I have someone to come and help you with your schedule, Uh... Ms.Dart would you please come here for a second." He yells as he settles back down in his seat. Soon a girl strides in with a smile.

"Yes, headmaster?" Headmaster? Lia thought but didn't pay much mind to it. The girl's eyes traveled to Lia and her eyes widened a she looked at the girl. "Oh my gosh, your eyes are beautiful! I wish I was heterochromia ." (A condition where the colored part of the eye is multicolored.)

The principal laughed deeply as he clutched his big belly. "Rose I want you to meet Lia. Please show her all her classes." Rose smiles at the shy girl and nodded her head professionally.
