Alexandra has gone through a lot more than a girl her age is supposed to handle. Will she be able to live past them? Or will she let herself get sucked into the dark hole forever?

"Alexandria, if you are done, we need to take the boxes to the rooms" my mom said from the sitting room
"Leave her, Susan. Let her finish checking the house" my grand mum said to mum as I stepped down from the dining
"No need for that. I'm already done"
"What about your room?"
"I can just take my things there and check it out at the same time while arranging my stuff. Where is it?" I asked my grand mum
"Up the stairs, turn to your right. It's the only room there"
"Thanks" I said as I took my things and began to ascend the stairs.
"The fudge sticks!" I gasped as I entered my room
The massive bed at the center was the first thing that caught my attention. It was a huge light blue princess bed with layers of pillows. On a side was a huge window reached the up and bottom covered with a curtain and next to it was a closet in which a person could enter and dress and has a gliding door. On the other side of the bed was a work office. Wanting to see what it contained, I decided to go into it. It had a work table, a shelf of books and another one for music majorly Korean. It also had a TV pasted on the wall and a balcony. I passed through the gliding wall to see the outside view. Beside the work office is the restroom which was also magnificent. It had a bath tub and a shower too which were separate. Deciding that I had seen too much before my eyes would burst, I went downstairs
Is a teenager legal to have a room like this?
"Halmoni odiso?" I asked my mum as I didnt see her downstairs. Where's grandma?
"She went out for a call" she replied
"I see" I said as I went to lie down on the sofa
"Wow. So soft" I said
I wondered how a sofa could be so soft. I could even bounce on it. Lying on my back, I saw a painting which filled the entire living rooms celling
"Okay, I've got everything sort out" my grand mum said as she entered the sitting room
"Soo Joon-ah" she called out
"De, Halmoni" I replied sitting up
"This is the school you will be attending" she said as she handed me a file
"Yongsan International School of Seoul" I said as I scanned through the file
"What the penguin eater!" I exclaimed as I saw the fees
"Halmoni, this is way too expensive"
"Not to worry dear, I will be paying the bills. Moreover, this is one of the best schools in the country. You know the saying: No pain, no gain" she said with a shrug
"Exactly how much do you have?" I asked to which she only responded with a smile, and a wink
She loves winking
"Since its just resumption, you will still be in your last year so no worries" she said
"Will you step out for a moment?" she asked after checking her phone for the new message
"Why?" I asked
"Just come, will you?" she said as she started going out
Knowing that she would not answer me, I followed her with my mum at my back
"What the fudge sticks" I said as I saw a shining navy blue BMW X6

"This is the car you will be taking to school. If you dont like it, you can change it if you want to any car of your choice" she said leaving me to wonder exactly how rich she is
"Halmoni, exactly how rich are you" voicing out my thought, I asked again
"Well, since you are really that curious, I've enough to leave most of my worries out the window" she replied as if it was normal
I know you may be thinking that I'm over-reacting or wondering if my family is poor. If that is the case, then you're wrong, its just that I wasn't expecting this much.
Facing my mum,
"I dont know if you still want to work, but if you do, let me know. And if its not working with me, I will try and see what I can do. Okay? she said and my mom nodded
"Okay then, I will be going now" Halmoni said
"Wait, you aren't staying?" I asked
"Sweetheart, as much as I want to, I can't stay cause I got work to do. But dont worry, I will create time to have a blast with you, arraseo?" okay? she said as she kissed my cheek and hugged me
"Yagsog?" promise? I asked her as I hugged her back
"Yagsog" she replied as she walked towards her station wagon
I waved at her until she was out of sight after which, I walked into the house. Realizing that I was hungry, I walked into the kitchen and took out a box of golden morn, she knows what I like, from the fully loaded cabinet, poured it into a curved plate together with milk and water then took the file of my new school from the couch and made my way to my room
^^^^^
"Alexa, wake up" I heard my mom say
"Come on, you wouldn't want to be late on your first day"
"Yeah sure" I said not listening but just wanting her to leave me alone
"Alexa, wake up" she continued tugging me
"Give me a minute" I said tossing her hand away and covering my head, my eyes still close
"Sweetie, you have to go to school" she annoyingly continued before I had finally drifted back to sleep
"School?" I asked sleepily
"Yeah. You know, Yongsan International School of Seoul" she replied
"Oh my gosh, school!" I exclaimed as I shot up on my bed after some time
I looked at the time
"Seven fifteen!! How am I supposed to get to school before eight? Seriously mom, this is my first day. You should have woken me up" I said before throwing the covers and jumping out of my bed into the bathroom not waiting for whatever she had to say
Due to the time, I couldn't fully enjoy my time with the bathroom, nevertheless, I promised myself that I will come and lavish it and spend a swell time with it someday
After quickly putting on a T-shirt and jeans, I took my sneakers and dashed out of the room wearing my sneakers which made me fall off the last two stairs
"Are you alright?" my mom worriedly asked
"Yeah, I'm fine" I replied as I hurriedly dusted myself off. Luckily, there wasnt any injury, I couldn't bear starting a new school with injuries
"What about breakfast?" she asked when I started heading towards the door
"Right" I said going to the kitchen to pick up the nearest food which was an apple
"What about lunch?" she asked stretching out my lunch box
"I'll eat in school" I said as I picked my bag from the sofa (it seems like grandma put it there yesterday but I didnt notice it) and dashed to the door, I couldnt turn back again
"But..." was all I heard her say before I shut the door and rushed to my car
